I the consumer also asked them to stop their illegal activities according to 15 USC 1681b 604 ( 2 ) immediately, but there has been no change and no response from their office. Since I the consumer sent these letters more than 30 business days ago, they have not responded and they failed to honor my request. The inaccurate information being illegally reported has unfortunately caused me harm. 

I the consumer wasnt able to obtain credit, housing, or employment and my ability to obtain insurance because of this inaccurate and unverifiable information is being reported on my consumer report. I the consumer did not apply for this and had the ( credit bureau ) been in compliance with the FCRA 604 15 USC section 1681b and 15 USC 1681A ( 1 ) as well as 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) of the FCRA fairness, respect for consumer rights, impartiality and my right to privacy as the consumer would not have been violated. The banking system, being dependent on accurate credit reporting which is an essential part of the bank 's function as well as the publics confidence would not have been violated. It is your duty as a consumer reporting agency to report accurate information which is fair and equitable to the consumer with regards to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevance, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of the FCRA 15USC 1681B. 

I the consumer would appreciate your help in resolving this matter and removing this inaccurate information within 15 days required by the law. Please never ever report this inaccurate information on my report ever again. 


Thank you for your help and assistance.

I am a victim of identity theft. I am writing to request that you block the following fraudulent information from my credit report. I have no idea how the theft took place. I also have no knowledge of any suspects. I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of the identity theft.

This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of this being valid.

In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area.

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled millions of Americans ' personal information and delayed in notifying the consumers. In response, they are offering a free credit monitoring service that also waives one 's right to participate in any class action lawsuit against Equifax. In addition, they are charging consumers a fee to place a security freeze with them. To capitalize on this unfortunate event, due to their gross negligence, is simply unacceptable. I demand that they rectify this by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach.

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

Complaint:
I have sent 2 multiple inquiry letters to Transunion within these 60 days. I also had a fraud alert placed on my credit file on XX/XX/2017 that indicates anyone who runs my credit needs to call me verify my personal information and that was n't done and that violates my rights as a consumer. I explained to multiple CSR that their are multiples of certain places of inquiries that definitely indicate fraudulent activity but they do n't care. I reached out to the Transunion on more than one occasion to advise of my credit being pulled without my permission. They keep telling me there 's nothing they can do and inquiries are factual and no real foot work has been done to help me the consumer resolve this issue. The manager I spoke to told me they DONT DISPUTE inquiries when I know that 's not true. I need these inquiries removed as they are hendering my home buying process for my children and I.

Complaint:
This company.J J Marshall & Associates did not properly serve me a summons. The summons was left with a family friend and was not signed for and the officer ( or person she described dressed in a police officer uniform ) told her that I didnt not come get the packet from her as soon as possible and respond I could be going to jail and its possible I already I have warrant out for my arrest. I immediately called this agency to try to handle this and I was advised that I first had to pay for them serving me before anything could be handled and they also needed a financial statement from me. Also the amounts they are suing for are incorrect. Also the original creditor says another company holds the debt.

State: NJ
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:
On XX/XX/2018 I spent a night at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I went to an ATM to make a small cash advance. The machine did not dispense money and I promptly contacted security in the casino and never left the ATM. When security responded I explained that the machine did not dispense money and she told me that I had to call my bank.. Having not moved from the ATM I called Pentagon Federal Credit Union to report my problem. I stood there approximately 20 minutes while they took all pertinent information. After a long wait the representative told me it would be taken care of. I went to a different ATM and took two small cash advances which went through without a hitch. When I came home I noticed that Pentagon Federal Credit Union had the disputed amount in a pending file on my credit card account. After 3 days they simply added it to my total credit car balance, knowing I did not receive the advance. I called PFCU twice and spoke to representatives who assured me they would handle this issue. 
Nothing changed. On XX/XX/2018 I called PFCU yet again and this time I asked the agent to allow me to speak to a supervisor since the agents were doing nothing more than making assurances they could not keep or perhaps lying might be a better term. The supervisor said he would look into my issue and call me back no later than Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX. Needless to say no call came and I am still stuck with no resolution. Every ATM has a camera and on top of that I was in a casino hotel where you are under surveillance every second unless you are in your hotel room or the bathroom so they know full well that the machine never dispensed money and it relatively simple to verify if they made the effort. Moreover the Cas advance fee and dollar amount should not have immediately been posted to my account without PFCU even bothering to check. I have just submitted forms to discontinue any direct deposits to PFCU since they simply can not be trusted. In addition I intend to pay off my PFCU Visa with the exception of the disputed amount and I will close the account, however I will never pay the amount I did not receive. I would rather face this in court out of principal.. I hope that you are able to get a satisfactory answer and explanation as to why. By all means share this information with others. In my view these people can no longer be trusted. I am stuck with PFCU for my mortgage loan but as long as I live I will never trust them again. I need a financial institution that has integrity and is responsive and can give me straight answers. Pentagon Federal Credit Union is not one of those institutions

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2021 there was fraud on the credit card. In XXXX there was fraud XXXX  charges and in XXXX there was spoofing of XXXX to make more fraud charges. They are clearly fake charges and illegitimate charges made to look like XXXX should not be the responsibility of the customer but the financial institution. 

Additionally Chase fraud department lied to me telling me that they had proof of XXXX being legitimate transactions. Only after I called XXXX did they change their story and tell me that I reported the issue too late and therefore they will not assist me. I think their fraud department may be in on the scam or leaking information.

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:
I have been actively ATTEMPTING to have the incorrect information regarding my Student loans deleted from my credit report for entirely to long to no avail. I have contacted Experian to get correct validated data several times and each time they only retunr saying they have verified the info. I know this is incorrect because the information they are reporting is not the same on every account. Although these student loans show up as four individual loans, they all should have the same payment information as I was making 1 payment and the company XXXX was dispursing the payments to each account equally. So for the loans to not all have the same information is false. I contacted Experian via CERTIFIED mail ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, regarding this account being reporting incorrectly yet again. I listed my consumer rights as stated by FCRA law, as of today XX/XX/XXXX I have not had any coorespondence back from Experian regarding this urgent matter. To follow up once AGAIN, on XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed another letter stating that i expected Validated information showing my signatures on the deferment and forbearance paperwork showing the dates that the payments shouldve been included therefore NOT late. To this date I have not heard anything from Experian regarding this matter. It is against FCRA law, to which they are legally bound, for them to knowingly report false unvalidated debts on a cosumers credit file. I also stated the penalty for such acts per section 617 of  the Fair Credit Reporting Act for Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] ( a ).

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went online to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It was not clear to me that the payment made was for future service from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/2017. I used a Chase Visa Debit card to pay {$100.00}. We have cancelled our service from XXXX XXXX, since we have sold our house and are moving out of state. This payment is for a time period that the new owner is responsible for. In contacting Chase Bank, I was told that they can not reverse the charge and that I need to seek restitution from the vendor, directly. This is not time effective. 

Also, I have cancelled my XXXX XXXX service at the old house and I have implicitly told XXXX XXXX that I DO NOT authorize them to take a " cancellation fee '' from my debit card or any credit card or directly from my bank account, as I am using an XXXX XXXX XXXX service at our new house. They are owned by the same company. In addition, we have documented evidence that the XXXX XXXX service and satellite interfered with the signal for our XXXX XXXX for our dogs, causing our dogs to be in danger of running away or getting hit by a car. 

Chase bank has been awful to deal with and has been so grossly unhelpful in resolving these situations.
