Consumer Narrative
Capital One had no rights or consent to close my open ended credit plan with their company. As the consumer in commerce, I have In good faith, extended my open ended credit to Capital One and have done so with confidence that legality and fair measures would be met. According to Federal Law false any misleading information, such as billing amounts that are wrong constitutes Federal violation. Selling your information to other 3rd party debt collection agencies as a fraudulent charge off are a violation to Federal code. Capital One as a consumer reporting agency intentionally put derogatory marks on my consumer report such as " late payments '. Congress does not define late payments, so this tactic was used in a detrimental way to the consumer. Capital One again had no right to rescind my open ended consumer credit plan as they are not the original creditor of the account. I have not received original documentation from their corporation with signature in trust. I demand to see this piece of documentation if it truly exists. According to Congressional code not verbatim, informed consumer credit usage and education will further better the economy and unfair practices shall cripple it. Capital One is merely a consumer reporting agency, debt collector and card issuer. I, the natural person, the consumer am the Original Creditor!
