Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
My complaint doesn't exactly fit with the descriptions that are available, but I think it's valid. The complaint i have is around inaccurate information being released as part of my credit report. Specifically, when it comes to credit utilization. I fully understand that credit card companies have the right to lower credit limits but when that new number is reported to the credit reporting agencies it causes a cascade of inaccurate results. The key to note is that my utilization hasn't changed so when the credit companies ' lower limits they are in fact influencing the utilization score. Example If I have a card that had a {$10000.00} available credit and I used {$1000.00}, a year later the cc company decides for whatever reason to lower it to XXXX, I've gone from a utilization of 10 % to a utilization of 66 % but the argument stands I didn't utilize 66 %, the credit card company created this utilization and now the user has to deal with the consequences of inaccurate classification and reporting. Which typically lead to other creditors reviewing utilization and deciding they will lower available credit to similar levels, and it just keeps going. I've had this happen a couple of times, and I never fault the creditor it's within their right, but " my utilization '' needs to be the factual number of my use with the credit that I had available. Additionally, I already know Pay down your card to get your utilization percentage back, that still doesn't change the fact that my credit score can be impacted by arbitrary actions a creditor can take. It doesn't change the fact that my utilization score can be manipulated by the creditor and as such is not a true representation of my actual use.

Complaint:
I noticed this company on my report recently and I have no clue who they are. I have never heard of Credence or done any business with them. The account says its affiliated with XXXX XXXX. I do not owe this company any money and this account is damaging my reputation with other companies I wish to have a relationship with as a customer. I'm demanding they tell me where this came from. The CFPB site is very informative and it seems like this company has violated a ton of laws under the FDCPA. I never received any notice before this went on my report, they have never sent me any documents with my signature on it, I never sent them or the credit bureau anything saying it was ok to put this on my credit and I surely NEVER gave XXXX  or any other company permission to share any of my private personal information with a 3rd party. I'm holding all parties accountable

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
1ST : Companies involved in the fraud are " XXXX '' and JPMorgan " Chase ''. Instrument being weaponized in the theft of my money and/or credit lines is a Chase Mastercard Credit Card with `` Flex '' in its name ending in " XXXX XXXX '' ( in this complaint text, I have censored the 16th digit. ) XXXX has fraudulently charged me {$12.00} without my permission. I obtained a free trial service with XXXX. XXXX is accused - possibly with questionable proof- of not delivering services to me properly or at all during such free trial. Therefore I cancelled my service before a deadline where I'd possibly be charged on a monthly basis and revoked permission to be charged in an email to XXXX prior to a date where XXXX would charge me for continuing beyond a free trial, and also signed in to my XXXX portal in order to cancel. However, XXXX has charged me {$12.00} anyway. 
2ND : I filed a XXXX  complaint ( XXXX  case # XXXX ) against XXXX  over this fraud. XXXX didn't reply. On a XX/XX/XXXX phone call ( which is also the date of writing this CFPB complaint ), Chase claims to have resolved the matter of only the theft of {$12.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, but has essentially stated that anyone, including XXXX, can continue to steal my money in the present or future, and that they can not stop it, despite such credit card being a Chase-issued credit card and me never giving permission to Chase to allow themselves or other companies to steal my money. This is dangerous due to both an implication that XXXX will continue to charge me {$12.00} without my permission every month, and also that anyone could steal unlimited amounts of my money due to Chase 's refusal to stop it.

3RD : Chase claimed, on XX/XX/XXXX they do not have the " option '' to stop merchants from charging an account ( of mine, with Chase ) and that I have to keep disputing charges. Chase then said this is " how it works '' but I did not consent to being party to such a process where XXXX or any merchant can continuously steal my money on a repeating basis. After repeatedly refusing to stop the theft of my money, Chase then stonewalled me with silence in order to waste my time, offend me, and be complicit in the continued theft of my money, most of which could be anticipated to be from XXXX. I demanded Chase should no longer give any of my money to XXXX. Chase once again refused. This is not a full list of the number of times chase repeated offensive phrases at me that threaten being complicit in having my money be stolen on XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
I purchased a used vehicle in XXXX. I financed it with XXXX. In XXXX I sold the vehicle to a guy who wasn't able to get financing so I carried the note for him. He defaulted in XXXX and I wasn't able to make the additional payments. There was a little over {$3000.00} left owed on the truck. 11 years later and XXXX continues to change the dates on the account and continue to report the debt on my report. I have gone through every option available to get them to remove the debt, but they refuse. I don't have a copy of the loan documents so I haven't been able to prove the dates. I have requested a copy of the original loan document and XXXX doesn't respond. They are now showing the account as being opened in XXXX of XXXX. That is incorrect. I have since rebuilt my credit and got back on track. However, I'm limited because XXXX is reporting far beyond the 7 year reporting time.
