This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 

I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish.

The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. 



I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. 

Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes.

Complaint:
I had a Discover IT secured card opened in XX/XX/2019, which had 100 % payment history and I always paid off my balance and kept great record of my credit, so Discover returned my deposit and increased my credit line which was awesome considering I'm rebuilding my credit. In XX/XX/2019 I legally changed my first and middle name, so I contacted XXXX to update them and sent them my legal documents for the name change, and they updated my info and sent me a new card. In XXXX or XX/XX/2019, Discover needed me to sign a document to have my information verified through the IRS, so I signed it and a few weeks later Discover informed me they were closing my account due to not being able to verify my information with the IRS but couldn't tell me what information and left it at that. I then get a letter from the IRS about some of my information being requested but unable to verify, which the piece of unverifiable information was my NAME, why.. because I haven't filed taxes under my new name yet! Discover knew about my name change and still decided to close my account after months of nothing but good history with them. So now thanks to them I have a closed account on my credit report when their unverifiable information they already knew about, so why couldn't they either request a different way to verify my information or take into consideration that I just recently changed my name and it hasn't been fully updated with the IRS considering we haven't filed taxes for 2019 yet! Thanks for nothing Discover, I'll never recommend you!

This is the first time I have ever encountered identity theft. I pulled my credit for myself and there are many fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me.

Please remove these unknown items from my report as soon as possible.

Complaint:
I have a Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card with one of the benefit being a luggage delay insurance. 

The Baggage Delay benefit as outlined in the Guide to Benefits provides reimbursement for the emergency purchase of essential items, such as toiletries, clothing, and chargers for electronic devices ( limit one per device ), when [ the ] baggage is delayed while on an eligible trip. The maximum benefit is one hundred ( {$100.00} ) dollars per day up to a maximum of five ( XXXX ) days per claimant. Really very simple. 

My husband and I travel from XXXX XXXX via XXXX to XXXX. Two pieces of luggage were left behind in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. We arrived in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ; our bags were finally delivered to our hotel in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. We left XXXX for XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the morning. 

I have filed a report with XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX more than XXXX  months ago with all required information and documentation provided. 

Over weeks and months following the incident, I have emailed and requested status updates a total of XXXX times, called additional times only to either not hear back or be told that additional information was needed or to be told to be patient. The case was shown as pending online all along, no change of status here neither. 

I know others had mentioned that new requests for information or materials seem to be coming your way every few weeks or months. The last one was the request for the credit card statement listing the purchases we had to do while not having any luggage. I had first provided this statement on XX/XX/XXXX. I was asked for it again on XX/XX/XXXX. Ive resent it three times since. No reply. Also, the online status has since changed to closed. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX state in emails that they will review supplied documentation within XXXX business days and review correspondence within XXXX days, however that does obviously not occur. 

Half way through this process, I was also asked to provide a confirmation of the settlement with the airline that lost the luggage. 
An interesting request given that per their Guide to Benefits, this benefit is payable on an excess basis over and above any amount due from any other valid or collectible insurance or any other form of reimbursement payable by those responsible for the loss. 
Still, unable to argue with them, I provided that settlement confirmation from the airline on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Its been two months since, a total of XXXX  months after the incident, and no resolution. 

The way card members are being treated by Card Service Benefits is utterly outrageous. On top, this is a relatively small benefit to receive in the big scheme of things, and very straightforward. Its obviously just a clear tactic to delay payment in the hope that people eventually just give up and move on.

Complaint:
When reviewed credit report there were 2 30 day late remarks that were previously not removed as already agreed upon by XXXX XXXX  representative. 

I have made several attempts to resolve directly. 

The two 30 day lates are for : XX/XX/XXXX/ XX/XX/XXXX which again were agreed to be resolved by XXXX XXXX   representative on several occasions. 

This action is un responsible and needs to be corrected promptly as it effects consumer 's abilities to borrow. 

Next steps for me will be seeking an attorney to have this removed.

Complaint:
I have been making payments in increments of {$50.00} per month as I have last agreed with the Attorney office starting around XXXX ( not sure if exact date but around time of collection activity reported on court case ) to then attorney XXXX XXXX office. I missed a few payments of the years, case resulted back in court. As of XXXX I was told Attorney XXXX office would merged with Ms.XXXX attorney office. I was told to still still send payment attn : Mr.XXXX etc, in which I did. However, over the course of time I would ask for balance and it was only told that the account was accruing interest at 9 % ( but the attorney office not sure if monthly or annually at this rate ) but my balance never changed. I have requested several times for an accounting of account so that I can determine whats being applied to principle vs interest etc. I was never provided this information and to this day when I call my balance remains the same even though I have made payments that I have proof of as well as the attorney office confirms. But they can not explain to me why my balance continue to remains the same even after payment posted. In addition I have received documentation and pay out as part of a class action law suite against XXXX XXXX due to illegal interest charge. Please note although my case was in collection I was currently paying and the attorney office took action in court for wage garnishment as well as their continue practice of illegal debt practice. I feel due to my balance continues to increase and or stay the same without proof provided to me of payment that this collection case needs to be investigated further due to it could be other in the same situation being taken advantage of. Also please note as of XXXX my state Attorney general Office please see article won class action legal suite against XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Keeping Communities Safe XX/XX/XXXX XXXX REACHES {$3.00} MILLION SETTLEMENT WITH LENDER FOR SELLING PRODUCT WITH HIDDEN, SKY-HIGH INTEREST RATES Attorney General XXXX Bans Company from Selling Expensive Loan Product in Illinois and Cracks Down on Other Lenders Operating Illegally in the State XXXX Attorney General XXXX XXXX today announced she is cracking down on lenders in Illinois that are illegally selling small-dollar loans riddled with hidden costs and fees, including a {$3.00} million settlement with XXXX XXXX XXXX that has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution for consumers across the state.
