Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a charge for XXXX on my Capital One Venture X credit card. I was on a cruise in the XXXX, and it was from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I waited until I was back in the U.S. and contact Capital. I reported the charge as fraudulent and not authorized by me. I had no email receipt of a purchase by me and no one else has access to my credit card. They reversed the charge and issued a new card. On XX/XX/XXXX I was again charged by the same company ( XXXX ) for {$68.00} to the Capital One card. I contacted Capital on XX/XX/XXXX to dispute this charge again as I received a package of vitamins from this company. I explained again that I did not authorize this charge and the rep told me that they were possibly using a virtual credit number so although my card changed, they could still charge it! I again explained that I have no emails, receipts of any communication with this company. He suggested I reach out to the company who provided proof to them that they mailed the package ( which had no order number ). I emailed the company on XX/XX/XXXX and told them to stop the authorized transactions ; I was returning their products ( which I did on XX/XX/XXXX when I returned home from out of town ). they replied they would stop the charges and they could not provide a refund due to the credit card company having a charge back initiated. I again called Capital One as I saw on my account they charged me again for this product. They told me they had to go with the merchant as I had no proof!! How can I have proof from a product I did not order?!! I sent them the emails I sent to the company, and their response was that is not the proof they need. I am beyond frustrated with Capital One and their fraud department. They have interrogated me like I am a thief, and I am guilty because they have to err on the side of the merchant.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least XXXX  days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Update the late payments from my consumer reports.
