Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the XXXX late payments reported on my account. Fraudulent activity occurred on my bank account, which caused my attempted payments to return unpaid. Although I made timely attempts to pay, the payments were reversed due to the fraud investigation and account disruptionnot because of negligence on my part. 
As a result, my account was incorrectly marked as 30 days past due. I corrected the issue immediately once the fraud was resolved. These late payment notations are inaccurate and do not reflect my actual payment behavior. 
I am requesting that all XXXX late marks resulting from this situation be removed from my credit report, and that my credit file be updated to reflect accurate payment history.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a {$160.00} charge from XXXX ( XXXX ) through my PayPal Credit account because no service was provided. After multiple rounds of review, I received several conflicting letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX outcome of my dispute. 

On XX/XX/2025, I was told a credit was applied during review. On XX/XX/2025, I received a letter stating the credit was permanent. However, on XX/XX/2025, Synchrony reversed the credit after receiving merchant documentation. This reversal did not appear transparentlyit was disguised as a new purchase entry dated XX/XX/XXXX, which misrepresented the true nature of the transaction. 

Following my escalation, on XX/XX/2025, Synchrony XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed in writing that a permanent {$160.00} credit was applied as a goodwill resolution due to the erroneous XX/XX/XXXX letter. On XX/XX/2025, I again received a letter confirming the credit was permanent. 

Instead of posting the permanent goodwill credit as a new adjustment, Synchrony backdated it to XX/XX/XXXX, making its appear as though it was part of the original XX/XX/XXXX provisional credit. This accounting choice has caused continued contradictions in the letters, misrepresented the nature of the resolution, and disrupted my special financing plan ( showing the purchase as unpaid and accruing interest ). 

This appears to be caused by XXXX internal bookkeeping they backdated the original provisional credit ( XX/XX/XXXX ), disguised the XX/XX/XXXX reversal as a new purchase, and never reclassified the XX/XX/XXXX corporate goodwill credit as final. As a result, their system continues to generate provisional notices, creating confusion and financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
