Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
FIRST ISSUE W/AMEX. Complaint is against AMEX. I am having XXXX possibly related problems w/this company. This is the first. About XXXX or XXXX years ago, I cancelled all my AMEX cards. I think I had XXXX, but I know I had at least XXXX. XXXX I never used. Immediately prior to trying to cancel XXXX of the cards, I had received a bill from AMEX for {$95.00}, which was described as the annual fee. At that time, I called them, informing them I wanted to cancel the card and asked to have the {$95.00} fee waived. I also told them the fee was the reason I was cancelling. They refused to cancel the card until I paid the {$95.00}, claiming it had already been billed, which is true, but this was the first billing for the fee, and I no longer wanted to pay the fee or use the card. I called several times with the same result and eventually gave up. I did not pay the {$95.00} either. What I did do was cut up and throw away that card and my other AMEX cards, vowing to never deal w/the company again. There was no balance other than the {$95.00} fee owed, and all balances on all cards were current and fully paid ( and always were ). I have used NONE of the AMEX cards I had since then b/c A ) I was so annoyed w/the company, and B ) I destroyed my cards ( I can't even tell you the account numbers anymore ). As recently as XXXX XXXX, they apparently billed me for this {$95.00}. I assume they still are, but since I'm in the process of moving, I haven't received a more recent bill. Obviously, I don't want someone else in the future getting my account number on this card which AMEX refuses to close because I refuse to pay their revolving annual fee for a card I tried to cancel and have not used in that time. My SECOND problem w/AMEX may or may not be related. I will submit it as a separate issue as it is a bit strange.

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I sent a letter to Trans-union notifying them that XXXX XXXX had made an error on my credit with the closed card ending XXXX. As they had incorrectly reported late payments and a charge off on my credit. They said they would re-investigate, upon re-investigation Trans-union claimed that the company verified the information was correct which according to XXXX XXXX in their response was not so. Instead XXXX XXXX stated that they have repeatedly asked Trans-union to remove the negative information and they have ignored them. This leads to my complaint. If the company that reported the information is telling the CRA that the information is incorrect! and the client is also telling the CRA the same, why wont the CRA remove the information?! I have repeatedly informed Trans-union how their furnishing of this adverse information has impacted me and caused me to be paying substantially high interest rate on credit cards and even being denied credit. Trans-union does not care! I sent another letter again on XXXXXX/XX/2019. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX, after being denied one final time by a creditor I decided to take the final step by sending the response of XXXX XXXX through the CFPB and XXXX, which clearly states Trans-union needs to delete the information ; and Trans-union is now telling me that they need to verify my identity. Why? I have sent multiple copies of my Social and Drivers License to verify my identity, however they have decided to take this unethical tactic because they  do not want to fix the problem. Hopefully by making this complaint through your agency ( CFPB ) Trans-union will actually listen for once and do what the creditor and client has requested to do for the last 6 months!

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 200 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Complaint:
I was recently released from XXXX bankruptcy in mid-XX/XX/XXXX and was told by my trustee that I was current on my mortgage via court order. I 've made all XXXX payments since being released in full and on time. However, Nationstar is now trying to collect an additional monthly payment ( {$730.00} ), late fees ( {$78.00} ), and an escrow ( {$450.00} ). The total amount they 're trying to collect is {$1200.00}. They 're claiming that it was owed to them while I was still under bankruptcy. This is against the law. I 've spoken with Nationstar on the phone 3 times to try to clear up the matter, but have yet to receive a response other than " we 'll look into it. '' They also refuse to mail me ANY documentation on the matter.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
In the last week of XX/XX/2023, I was unable to log into my Chase Online Banking account, which I subsequently found out was due to it being locked. Upon contacting customer service, I was informed that my account was being terminated and my checking account would be closed. It was also stated that I would receive a check for the balance in my account via mail. I was assured that my other accounts ( credit card and IRA ) would remain open, but this assurance was short-lived. 

Despite my repeated attempts to understand the reason behind this sudden and abrupt termination, I was not provided with any valid explanation. Worse still, I was met with rude behavior, which I believe is unprofessional and out of place in a customer service environment. 

My XXXX XXXX, who I hoped would be able to clarify the situation, chose to ignore my concerns. Calls to the XXXX XXXX customer service line were fruitless, as they demanded validation with my closed debit account number and then dismissed me, claiming I no longer held a relationship with them. 

A visit to the Chase branch in XXXX, XXXX, MA, only confirmed the closure of my checking account and the 14-day process to complete this. While they reassured me that my credit card and IRA would remain open, my IRA was also closed without any prior notice. 

Adding to my woes, I was informed that my funds would be mailed to me by XX/XX/2023. However, it has now been over a month since this date and I am yet to receive my funds. The delay is causing me financial distress as I am losing money due to credit card interest and the inability to access my own funds. 

Furthermore, while my checking account was closed, Chase continued to accept my paychecks from my employer. These funds, amounting to over {$19000.00}, have yet to be returned to me. I have contacted customer service weekly, only to be repeatedly told that the check is pending approval with no further updates. 

This chain of events has left me in a precarious financial position, caused me undue stress, and undermined my trust in Chase. I kindly demand immediate action to rectify this situation, including an explanation for my account closures, and most importantly, the immediate release and delivery of my funds. 

I hope for a swift resolution to this matter. Thank you in advance for your attention and assistance.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I'm not using any third party for this matter and represent myself by myself. I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. My personal information was compromised, so as a result I got hard inquires on my report that I never authorized, I have not signed or applied to any of these creditors or companies who posted hard inquires on my report. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency, and that they would not file the report because I didnt have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that these inquiries are being disputed is because they were not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that these inquiries were made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. It is not my responsibility to go directly to each creditor, the obligation lies at your feet because you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit report, and this violates the FCRA. It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore inaccurate information in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out of my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  these items above should be removed from my report immediately. 
Please note : I have included in this package a copy of my driver license, copy of proof of address, copy of my SSN, FTC report
