Consumer complaint received 2023-04-11
Company: ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES
State: NJ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
I am writing to you regarding the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and a complaint I have regarding your attempts to sue me for a debt while I am currently experiencing financial hardship. 

As you are aware, the FCRA is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. The purpose of this law is to ensure that credit reporting agencies and creditors, like yourself, follow fair and accurate practices in their dealings with consumers. 

Despite my current financial crisis, you have chosen to take legal action against me for a debt that I am unable to pay at this time. This action is in violation of the FCRA, which prohibits creditors from taking legal action against a consumer who is experiencing financial hardship. 

Furthermore, the FCRA requires that creditors like you report accurate and complete information about a consumer 's credit history. In my case, I believe that your reporting of this debt has been inaccurate and misleading, as it fails to take into account my current financial situation.

Consumer complaint received 2023-06-07
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I deposited three checks drawn on other domestic financial institutions totaling {$2200.00} in person to a teller at the branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NC during normal branch hours. 

The checks posted to my account and Chase made available {$200.00} of the deposit on the same day. Pursuant to Regulation CC, Chase should have made an additional {$25.00} ( for a total of {$220.00} of the deposit ) available on XX/XX/2023 to comply with the next-day availability rule. Then, Chase should have made the entire remaining amount available on XX/XX/2023, to comply with 229.12 ( b ) ( 1 ). 

However, Chase has instead failed to make any more of the remaining {$2000.00} available. At the time of deposit, the teller informed me that the bank may take " up to XX/XX/2023 '' to make this amount available. Several reasons for an " exception hold '' are provided in Reg CC that would allow this, but I do not believe that any of them apply to this deposit. 

My account has existed for more than 30 days, so it is not a new account. Nor was this a large deposit, as the aggregate check deposit for the entire day was less than {$5500.00}. My account has never been overdrawn at any bank, and I do not have any outstanding liabilities to Chase. None of the checks were redeposited, and no emergency conditions appear to have existed. 

The only remaining exception would require that Chase have relied on the " existence of facts that would cause a well-grounded belief in the mind of a reasonable person '' that the check would be returned unpaid by the drawer 's bank. Upon information and belief, the drawer of the {$2000.00} check maintains an account in good standing with the paying bank, has never overdrawn an account with any bank, and did not write a bad check. Therefore, I do not believe that Chase possessed such evidence. 

Moreover, even if an exception did apply, Chase did not specifically state which exception is used for the hold as required by regulation, nor the specific evidence used in this case to make a determination of reasonable cause to doubt collectibility, if that was the exception relied on.

Complaint:
I reported a dispute to Equifax regarding XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX first to work out reporting. They state my account has been closed since XX/XX/XXXX. ( verified verbally as well as the XXXX  tracking on the check sent to them ) Yet, they reported to all bureaus that it was open. They received a check for {$22000.00} which is in excess of the XXXX payoff amount due. Proof attached, verbally stated it is good through XX/XX/XXXX the date the check was received.Then they stated to all bureaus that my debt amount owed to them was XXXX ( the amount of the check ) which caused a 34 pt. decrease in my credit score. Proof attached. 

This is troublesome for several reasons - unfair, incorrect reporting. Credit damage. Reporting an account as NOT closed yet agreeing over the phone it is. Appearing to intend to keep the refund owed due to cancellation of the warranty. Contract states it is owed to me ( Illinois provision ).
