Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Im writing because there is an account showing up on my credit report that is completely unfamiliar to me. I have no knowledge of this account, never opened it, never authorized it, and have no connection to it whatsoever. Simply put it does not belong to me. 

This appears to be a case of mixed or misreported credit data, and its not just frustrating its damaging. I work hard to maintain my credit, and having someone elses account falsely tied to my name is completely unacceptable. I want to be absolutely clear : this is not my debt, not my account, and not my responsibility.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is completeandaccurate.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Oin Tuesday, XX/XX/year>, I purchased a pair of shoes for my son from XXXX. I received an email invoice totaling {$140.00}. Later that evening the vendor, XXXX, sent me a second email invoice that added an item to the purchase that I did not purchase. The item was a " Mystery Box '' that totaled {$110.00}. I emailed XXXX on XX/XX/year>, letting them know I did not authorize the purchase of the " Mystery Box ''. They sent the " Mystery Box '' but gave instructions on how to send the merchandise back to them to get a credit back on my credit card. That same day I notified my credit card company, CapitalOne, to dispute the {$110.00}. I sent the " Mystery Box '' merchandise back to XXXX. I emailed them copies of XXXX receipts. XXXX responded that they received the " Mystery Box '' merchandise back and that once the dispute is lifted they will refund my money. CapitalOne lifted the dispute on XX/XX/year> as XXXX told them they sent me merchandise. I've spent the last week sending CapitalOne 's credit card dispute department requested proof that these charges were not authorized and the merchandise was returned. CapitalOne 's credit card department has given me new requests each time I contact them. First I submitted the email exchange. They denyed the chargeback. Next CapitalOne requested a written, signed and dated letter from myself about what was going on. I did that and submitted it to them. Today, XX/XX/year>, I called CapitalOne again as they denied the chargeback. Today I was told that the claim officer needed a picture of the FedEx receipt that was separate from the one in my email correspondence with Dracoslides. At this point I asked what was the point. The credit card person I was talking to, XXXX employee code XXXX, said XXXX told them they gave me the merchandise. I asked what in the proof I gave CapitalOne made them think XXXX was more credible than me? I didn't receive a good answer. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told they don't take calls and that XXXX is a supervisor. I asked his name, and to which is said, XXXX. I asked for a last name, and he would not give his last name. Then I asked for an employee number for identification to which he gave me XXXX and hung up. 

At this point {$110.00} isn't going to break my bank. This is a matter for principle. I never purchased a " Mystery Box ''. I returned it at my own expense to XXXX. I've provided extremely detailed proof to CapitalOne about why this is fraudulent and that I have no merchandise. CapitalOne will continues to give me the runaround on this charge. I'm not sure who else can help me on the matter. Again, it is a small amount, but it is fraud.
