Consumer complaint received 2023-07-17
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NC)

I am writing to formally register a complaint against Chase Bank for their recent conduct, which has resulted in both financial losses and considerable inconvenience on my part. This issue involves a promotional offer involving the Amazon Prime Card, which Chase advertised during XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Chase 's advertisement promised customers a 7 % cashback on all purchases made using the XXXX XXXX XXXX during the event. This promotion was the sole reason I decided to obtain the XXXX XXXX XXXX, despite already being a holder of two other Chase cards. The attractive cashback offer seemed like an advantageous deal and thus, I found it compelling enough to add another card to my account. 

Encouraged by this promotion, I placed orders worth {$3000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and further orders amounting to several thousand dollars on XX/XX/XXXX. To my dismay, Chase began to decline my purchases after a certain point, despite my immediate attempts to resolve the situation. I personally contacted Chase multiple times, conversing with different representatives from their fraud protection department and customer service, yet my transactions continued to be denied. Over 20 attempted purchases were declined, causing my orders to be delayed until after XX/XX/2023. 

This unexplained and ongoing denial of transactions deprived me of the cashback benefits that Chase had promised, resulting in my orders being pushed beyond the promotional period. Additionally, the " no rush delivery '' option on XXXX, which was advertised to offer extra cashback, was negated due to these transaction denials, resulting in further loss of hundreds of dollars. 

I believe this constitutes false advertising and a breach of trust on Chase 's part. Their failure to honor the promotional terms they used to entice customers into obtaining the new card, combined with their inability to address the issue adequately, have caused me significant financial losses and distress. 

I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter, hold Chase accountable for their actions, and ensure suitable redress is provided to affected customers, including myself. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will handle this complaint seriously, and I look forward to your prompt response.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN)

I have tried multiple times to correct the balance/status that XXXX XXXX is showing on my credit report with Experian, This house was sold and paid in full XX/XX/XXXX. 
Experian is showing the status as " Open/Never late. Deferred, payments begin XX/XX/XXXX '' with an outstanding balance of {$220000.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. Neither of this is correct! 
I filed for bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX and the house was never reaffirmed so amount should have been changed to XXXX back then, but it was sold anyway on XX/XX/XXXX which also should have made this balance XXXX! This account is no longer open and payments are not due in XX/XX/XXXX?? This needs to be corrected immediatley, this is ridiculous! 

I've attached what I could from my XXXX XXXX account showing it is paid in full and balance is XXXX. No statements have been available since XX/XX/XXXX.

All get declined. 

There is no way to get to a person when calling American Express XXXX XXXX services which is super annoying. I have a total of {$450.00} on XXXX cards that I can't use and have now wasted time trying and get declines!

We have repeatedly contacted XXXX XXXX about the account on our credit report. 

They have been advised this is a fraud account and it was not opened by myself. We have files with XXXX, we filed a police report, and we have written and mailed copies of all the above to XXXX. 

They have not removed the fraud account from our credit records. 

XXXX XXXX does not appear to want to remove this incorrect fraud account they opened without our knowledge or permission

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

On or about XXXX XXXX, my information was improperly used to attempt to open a line of credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had made no application with them and I contacted them to notify them that this was fraud. 

I was advised to place fraud alerts onto the 3 major credit reporting agencies. Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I contacted each of them to place this alert, only Equifax then redirected me to sales to attempt to sell me credit protection services for over $ XXXX. I wo n't even go into how tone deaf the person was and their attempt to trick me via standard telemarketing tactics. I will say it does n't surprise me that at all that they would resort to the same slimy tactics as fake vacation voucher reps. 

I then placed freezes on all 3 reporting agencies. For the privilege of not having my identity stolen through a service they provide without my consent, I was charged {$10.00} by each of them and will be charged more to have it removed. 

Fast forward to yesterday XXXX/XXXX/XXXX when Equifax announces they had a major data breach in XXXX. I am very careful with my information and find it more than a little likely that chain of events went a little something like this. 

Equifax provides negligent stewardship of high value personal information for millions of people. Hackers steal it. Equifax then tries to sell me the privilege of having them protect me from the situation they themselves caused. When I want to tell them to not provide this information without my advanced consent, Equifax charges me {$10.00} to freeze it and I can pay to have it unfrozen later if I need it. Then to make sure no one has used my identity for any other fraudulent activity, I can either wait 6 weeks for them to send me a report or I can pay them more money. 

Equifax should not be permitted to sell services that protects from their own negligence and the extremely poor security around the core consumer credit market. Identity theft is trivial because the brunt of the damage and liability is not borne by the companies whose duty it is to protect. 

Legislation should be introduced that requires real security on credit portfolios and proper identification of the borrower before credit lines can be opened. The credit card companies finally figured out that they have to do something about the fraud because they were on the hook for it. It 's time for the credit reporting companies to feel the same pain or this will never end.

Equifax mishandled my personal information including name, social security number, address, birthdate, driver 's license number, and possibly more. They allowed a data breach to occur in XXXX/XXXX 2017, and they confirmed I could be affected on their website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives who dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

This complaint is against Equifax. 

Since 2017, following their data breach, I have instituted a credit freeze with Equifax. Supposedly, it is possible to manage this freeze online. In actual fact, having created such an account in 2017, I have never once been able to successfully use it. 

Attempting to sign in, create a new account, reset a password, or perform any other operation directs and has always directed me to the same generic error screen which reads as follows : Please give us a call We can't complete your request at this time.

Please call the Customer Care team [ phone number ] Despite the impression given by this error that a temporary problem has occurred, I have for years been forced to wait on hold for extended periods of time to accomplish anything at all with Equifax. I can accomplishand have always been able to accomplishthe same things in a matter of a few minutes on the websites of every one of Equifax 's credit reporting competitors.

Perhaps this is a real error that has somehow persisted for seven yearsan eternity in terms of information systems. Perhaps it is a deliberate attempt to make credit freezes unduly burdensome so that consumers don't use them. In either case, attempts to resolve this problem with Equifax have been repeatedly ignored. To my recollection they have never even acknowledged that the persistence of this same error over the course of the better part of a decade is unusual.

On XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have 10 hard inquiries from XXXX XXXX. Dispite having 10 hard inquiries they still denied me my loan after I went back to reapply and the internet director named XXXX XXXX told me he couldn't accept my application because of how I indorsed the application, with a reservation of my rights, as is my rights as stated by the UCC, XXXX stated that he would not be able to accept it because I reserved my rights acting in bad faith and commited fraud. I then talked to the general sales manager named XXXX and both of them did not know what the XXXX  even were. I would like the amount the 10 hard inquiries removed from my credit accounts. Despite being discriminated against illegally because of my indorsement they still monetized my account when they had no intention of approving me. A clear violation of my rights to negotiate my instruments as I see fit. 15 USC 1

I contacted USAA to inquire as to why my credit card reporting status showed under adverse accounts on my XXXX  report.I was never late with the account. I was advised that the company closed the account and that is why it is reporting as adverse. I specified the company closed the account because I had to go through a credit counseling agency to get an interest reduction and the stipulation for the reduction was that the account be closed. USAA would not negotiate a lower interest with me even though I was not late. I was instructed to dispute the account with the reporting agency XXXX 
I filed a dispute with XXXX because USAA stated they would not change the status. Initially, it appeared as closed. However, the completion of the investigation with XXXX  now shows the account is being managed by a financial counseling program. This addition to my report caused a decline in which my score went from XXXX to XXXX. If USAA did n't have that notation on my credit report before hand why did they feel compelled to place it on my credit report now.
