Consumer complaint received 2016-01-22
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MN
Product: Credit card
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint:
In the courts of law, I would like to ask Chase if the receipt of a physical financial statement or electronic statement can be proven beyond a doubt that a consumer has received notification? Postal mail can fail and in this case I notified Chase at the time that I was relocating and they have this on record as they have brought this to my attention many times. Electronic mail can also fail by being subjected to spam or never being received for some unforseen reason. As I have stated over the months I never received notification by Chase for any credit card statement with regard to this account ending in XXXX. In fact I still do not receive statements for some of my other accounts which I will now also submit conflict about. 
Banks are required to have reasonable procedures in place to make sure that periodic statements are mailed or delivered at least 21 days before any grace period ends. Further, for credit card accounts only, banks are similarly required to have reasonable procedure in place to make sure that periodic statements are mailed or delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date shown on the statement. 

A credit card issuer may not treat a required minimum payment as late for any purpose if the minimum payment is received by the card issuer within 21 days after mailing or delivering the credit card statement disclosing the due date for that payment. This means that, if your minimum payment is received by the card issuer within 21 days after the statement is mailed or delivered, the card issuer can not increase the APR as a penalty, report you as delinquent to a credit reporting agency, assess a late fee, terminate benefits ( such as rewards on purchases ), or initiate collection activities. 

I currently have a billing dispute regarding my credit card. While the dispute was under investigation, the bank reported my account negatively to the credit-reporting agencies. Can it do this? 
No. Generally, if you have filed a proper billing error dispute, the bank shall not make ( or threaten to make ) an adverse report to any person about your credit standing. 

The bank also should not report that an amount or account is delinquent because you failed to pay the disputed amount -- or related finance or other charges -- while the investigation proceeds. 

Chase put a 30 day late on my credit reports. I have tried to get them to remove this and they refuse. This was not my fault because I never received any notification by Chase. I finally setup electronic statements and then received them. I have done everything I can to resolve this with them with no luck. I just want the 30 day late removed from my credit reports. If I was responsible and it was my fault I would take responsibility but this was Chases fault. Now because of this mark on my credit this has lowered my credit score and I was not the responsible party that caused this. As I stated before by past record never showed any late payments on any of my accounts. In fact in my entire life I have never had a late payment on any of my revolving credit card accounts with any company, that 's a fact. I am now XXXX years old and why would I do that now? Chase has been a great company and service until now and they refuse to work with me on this. 15 years with Chase alone and never XXXX late payment so why would I have XXXX now unless this was a unique situation and not my fault. Individuals should not be blamed for mistakes that Chase makes. Have them check all my accounts through them and not one has ever had a late payment. Why would I have XXXX late payment when my credit through them has been perfect. Why would they credit the late fee if they were wrong? Why is Chase so willing to ruin peoples credit with no consideration that I have been a customer of theirs for 15 years and never XXXX late payment? This pertains to account number ending in XXXX.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
