Complaint:
XXXX XXXX up my credit profile and showed bad attitude on assisting me solving the problem. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied Chase Southwest Credit Card from JP Morgan Chase. Chase pulled my credit report from XXXX  then denied my application given the reason of " too many ( >5 ) accounts opened within last 24 months ''. I then telephoned Chase customer support and found out that the credit history Chase got from XXXX was not accurate at all. In the report provided by XXXX XXXXo Chase, I found there are several accounts that were not opened by me. Then I telephoned XXXX  customer service and requested a dispute of those accounts against my Credit profile. 
I was offended by the process of how XXXX handled my dispute request. Here are my primary complaints : 1. Dereliction of duty XXXX XXXXequired me to submit a lot of supporting documents ( W-2, pay-stub, SSN Card, Drivers License, Address, Rental Agreement, Utility Bill, etc ) to validate my identity, which in my opinion exposed their failure to protect users ' credit info but to return the responsibility to the user to prove his identity. 
2. Processing speed very slow Despite XXXX XXXX dereliction of duty, I still submitted those docs accordingly. However, it took XXXX nearly a month only to be able to verify my identity, not even mentioning investigating the inaccurate info requested in my dispute request against the credit report they provided. Interestingly, their call center representative told me this process only takes no more than a week in general. 
3. Unresponsive customer call center representatives During the processing time, I telephoned their call center quite a few times tracking the updates. However, none of them was useful. Every time what I can only hear was their emphasis on they couldn't see anything from their database, so I had to either wait or to re-submit again. They even suspected me mailing the docs to the wrong place. Ironically, the mailing address was provided by XXXX. I believe it was because of their internal miscommunications which caused the delay, however, what I felt about the attitude from the representative was " We can't do anything from our XXXX  side. If you want us to process the dispute, you have to provide this and this, that and that ... '', even forgetting the cause of this inconvenience may possibly be the recent data exposure to the hacker, in which XXXX was the one at fault, not us customers. 
4. Problem still unresolved Now I received their full credit report, but still notice lots of wrong information recorded on the report which are not relevant to me at all ( wrong former name, non-existing accounts opened by me, invalid credit inquiries, etc ). I proactively contacted the banks I don't think I have any accounts with, but was reported by XXXX, and got proof from them those accounts don't exist. Therefore, I believe ( a ) my credit profile was screwed up by XXXX  entirely ; ( b ) XXXX didn't demonstrate well attitude on supporting me getting this cleared up. I got tired calling XXXX again and again. I'd like to come here for additional help from you.
