XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX NON-FCRA OPT-OUT TAKEN - HARD INQUIRIES DISPUTES : I have opted out of my public information with XXXX, and I believe that requesting the deletion of any inquiry based on any legitimate connection to a public record vendor such as XXXX is within my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act ( FACTA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In review of the numerous hard copy disputes on my credit report, I am requesting only the proper protocol to be adhered to in order to maintain the legitimacy of the hard inquiry, that includes an actual name of the person involved with any company that pulled a hard review of my credit history, but in addition a copy of the actual report ascertained from such a review. If these items can not be produced, then by deductive reasoning the hard inquiry is bot 100 % legitimate. Accordingly, under review of 604. Permissible purposes of consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ] ( a ), I request the deletion of the following lists of hard inquiries as follows : I demand my rights be protected based on the 2020 Edition of the Privacy Act published by the U.S. Department of Justice. 
LISTINGS OF ALL HARD INQUIRIES I DISPUTE AS DAMAGING TO MY CREDIT PORTFOLIO PLEASE DELETE THE FOLLOWING UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES : MAJOR FINANCIAL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED : PLEASE INSERT A BLOCK ON MY FILE FROM ALL FUTURE PROMOTIONAL REVIEWS THE FOLLOWING ATTACHED REVIEWS OF MY CREDIT IS A DISASTER AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE AUTHORIZE SO MANY REVIEWS. I HAVE DELETED ALL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS XXXX XXXX AND XXXX  XXXX. PLEASE DELETE ALL OF THE ATTACHED CREDIT REVIEWS AS THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AUTHORIZED. PLEASSE BLOCK MY CREDIT REPORT INFORMATION FROM ALL UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES FROM THIS POINT FORWARD : This letter is addressed to the subscriber furnishing the information on my credit reports, and if this letter is addressed to any credit reporting agency, then it is considered a ghost letter mirroring the actual request for documentation of a credit trade line I may have issues with. It is my understanding that each credit reporting agency has an obligation to maintain accuracy within the banking/credit community, and I will fulfill my obligations to work within the credit system as it was designated.

Thank you for your full consideration in this matter. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I went to see a home for rent at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX, XXXX, from a XXXX add. The guy name XXXX XXXX XXXX called me and stated that I can go see the home. He texted and stated that the rent was going to be all bills paid for {$900.00}. He told me to send the deposit of {$600.00} to XXXX  XXXX but it went through then he stated to refund it then send it to XXXX. He also tried to send the money to XXXX, he also provided me with another phone number XXXX. He asked for {$60.00} per adult that was going to be on the application, so for my XXXX children, I sent {$120.00}. Someone pulled up and he stated that it was someone else that was trying to see the home for rent and told me to secure the rental I needed to pay the deposit. After leaving, I felt kinda funny so I did some research and found that the residence was being rented by XXXX. I called XXXX and they told me there is no one by those names working for them, so I immediately called my bank to file a fraudulent transaction. Since that day I have filed a police report and my bank has denied my claim 7 times. One of the managers hung up on me. When I first filed I was not told I couldn't until I got XXXX a manager on the phone who told me that because it wasn't a merchant I could not file. Then I spoke to someone on chat that told me that peer-to-peer is like cash and I can't get it back. However, when I stated I sent a policy report they advised to send me the report and not just the number. I filed my report on XX/XX/2023 case number : XXXX. I still have the text messages and the fake lease the perpetrator tried to send me to sign. I believe that the scammer has someone working in the fraud department of the bank who keeps denying my claims. The bank can retrieve my money back from the person I sent my money to and make them responsible but is doing nothing but letting the scammers go!

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I mailed a check to pay a bill through the USPS. At some point during the mailing process, the check was stolen. The payee 's name was changed to another person and cashed at a bank in Nevada. 
I notified my bank ( Chase ), both parties submitted documentation of the incident to my bank, and my bank opened a claim to investigate the stolen check. 
Over the next 6 months, I called Chase Bank for an update. They kept telling that they are waiting to hear from the bank that cashed the check to reimburse the funds. 
Today ( XX/XX/14 ) Chase responded that the funds will not be reimbursed because : WE ARE DENYING YOUR CLAIM BECAUSE THE TIME FRAME TO REQUEST REIMBURSMENT HAS PASSED. 
This is not true. This claim was submitted on time. Chase Bank has been fully aware of this claim for the past 6 months. 

During the investigation, a representative from Chase Bank said that I should not pay my bills by paper check through the US Mail. This is a very common method of payment. I did nothing wrong or unusual.

Company: Grain Technology, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I received a statement on XX/XX/2022 telling me my payment was due on XX/XX/2022. My account was set to autopay, at the time. Instead of taking the payment out of my account on the due date, the company attempted to collect the minimum payment on my account on XX/XX/2022 without my knowledge. On XX/XX/2022 I received a notification that the payment failed. This company tried to take money out of my account weeks before the due date, I use multiple bank accounts and have funds available in those accounts based on due dates. Upon further investigation, I noticed that had done this the previous months as well. 

Fast forward to the end of XXXX, right before the payment is due, I attempt to make a payment through their mobile app with no luck. It seemed as though there was a glitch with the app, so I figured I would wait and try again later. A few days later I tried to make a payment again. The app did the same thing. It would not let me click on on any of the payment options. I assumed it could have been the company freezing my account due to the previously failed payment earlier in the month, even though that had not notified me of any such thing. I reread all of the terms and conditions and did not see anything of that sort. Then I ran across an email from them saying they " removed/revoke '' my XXXX XXXX account from my profile with no reason why and no follow up on how I can and should make payments going forward. 

I emailed their customer service on their app. I received a generic auto reply that said someone would reach out to me in a few business days. That did not happen. After waiting a few days, I reached out to their customer service again through email. Waited the stated number of business days, but still did not receive any response. I followed up by emailing them through my actual email account instead of the app, and still received the auto reply. I researched their phone number, but there's no possible way to make contact with an actual human, they only have automated messages. So, I went to the XXXX XXXX XXXX to leave a one star review. Sure enough I read reviews from other customers who received the same lack of customer service response. However, I did notice the Grain company responded to the negative reviews leaving their email address. After leaving my review, I emailed them two more times the same day ( see emails attached... the other emails sent through the app do not allow you to receive a copy, just the generic reply which is also attached ). I am simply trying to make a payment on this account. They should not be able to get away with lack of response. This should be illegal. They also should not report to the credit bureaus.
