WHEN I CALLED PAYPAL AND SPENT OVER 3 HOURS ON THE PHONE AND NOT ONLY KEPT BEING TRANSFERRED FROM DEPT TO DEPT ... THEY NOT ONLY LIED TO ME BY TELLING ME THOSE CHARGES WERE DISPUTED AND THEY CAME BACK NOT TO MY FAVOR, WHEN I ASKED TO GET TRANSFERRED TO THE DEBIT CARD DEPT THEY REFUSED TO AND EVENTUALLY PRETENDED TO TRANSFER AND THEN HUNG UP ON ME. BUT WHEN I GOT THROUGH THE DEBIT CARD DEPT THEY TOLD ME THAT THOSE CHARGES WERE NEVER DISPUTED NOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO DISPUTE THE CHARGES THEY DECLINE THEM BASED ON THAT ITS 3 MONTHS LATER AND THAT MY PIN WAS USED. I ORIGINALLY HAD CALLED RIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED TO REPORT THE CHARGES AND TO REPORT THAT MY ACCOUNT WAS BEING USED BY SOMEONE ELSE. THEY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT MY ACCOUNT BUT CONTINUE TO LET SOMEONE ELSE USE MY ACCOUNT. NOW THEY ARE DEMANDING FOR ME TO PAY CLOSE TO XXXX IN CHARGES THAT I DISPUTED, ALL BECAUSE THEIR TEAM DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE ASKED TO DO BY ME WHEN IT HAPPENED

I have submitted documentation multiple times to US Bank issued XXXX XXXX Visa regarding a legal name change for my protection from a XXXX and identity theft issue. Documentation has included a copy of the court document, drivers license, and social security card. XXXX Visa has refused to process the documentation multiple times, and in doing so places me at risk of being discovered by my XXXX. I have offered to go to a local US Bank branch to provide the documentation but HD Visa refuses to work with US Bank even though they issue the credit card. Every time I send in documentation, they force me to wait 20 days to " review '' the documentation, and then reject it anyways. I am at the point that I have a meeting with an attorney to see how to continue to resolve this matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Experian is not only stating that they will not investigate specific accounts anymore ( which Congress states is a violation of section 1681 as I am providing specific details in regards to the accounts that I am disputing ), but they are also required to have the docs associated with the accounts in their files PRIOR to even reporting them pursuant to section 609 and those docs are to be made available to me. I requested those docs last month and only received " results '' stating that # 1 these accounts are verified and accurate and # 2 that they will not investigate certain accounts anymore. 

If you see XXXX V XXXX 1997, you will see that Congress states that once I notify the bureaus that I believe their information to be inaccurate, they must not only reinvestigate but must also go beyond the original source of information. They did not even conduct an investigation, as I contacted each company and was told that they were not even reached for verification and that the information in my credit report is IN FACT INCORRECT. So where are they getting their information from? 

I 'm including my current dispute letter as well as the XXXX previous dispute letters which clearly state my disputes. I have also forwarded these letters to my attorney.

We are a restoration repair company, we performed repairs on a residential home due to water damage. The insurance company issued us a check with the homeowners name on the check and their mortgage company. We sent the check to the mortgage company, for their endorsement, so they could send back to us so we could deposit in our bank. Then the mortgage company kept the check because the homeowner 's had not made a mortgage payment in a year and a half. The mortgage company gave us false information to get us to mail them the check.

Company: Neon Newco Corporation (NC)

On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NC, to cash a money order. I filled out the necessary forms and was told that a checking account would be opened for me. I stated that I did not want the account. My money order was cashed, I was told to press several buttons ( Green and Red ) on the credit card machine, and then I was given a packet of information describing a checking account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX ) that was opened for me. The cashier told me that the account was opened automatically for everyone and that I would just have to call XXXX and cancel the account if I did n't want it. I called the phone number provided as soon as I left XXXX XXXX XXXX and was told by the representative that I could only close the account if I paid a {$15.00} closing fee. I explained that the account was opened without my approval, but the representative insisted that I had to pay the fee. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was connected with XXXX. XXXX also said that I needed to pay the fee. When I refused, he stated that I needed to return to XXXX XXXX XXXX to have the account closed without a fee. When I pressed him on why the bank itself could n't do this and that I was going to contact the CFPB, XXXX placed me on hold. When he got back on the phone, he stated that he was closing the account and waiving the fee. He stated that this would take 1-2 days. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a text message stating that my XXXX XXXX XXXX Debit Card was mailed. I called XXXX again to check why the account was n't closed. I spoke to a representative who said that the account was escalated to a manager, but not closed. After being placed on hold several times, the representative told me that I could only close the account if I paid the {$15.00} fee. When I explained my previous experience and the resolution given to me by XXXX, the representative said she understood my concern, but offered no resolution other than me paying the fee. I asked to speak to a manager to resolve the issue. I was placed on hold for 40 minutes before ending the call.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I have three charges on my credit card which at the time ended in XXXX, for {$130.00} each. I did not notice that this charge fraudulently appeared 3 times. I ordered a product in a presale from XXXX XXXX, which ending up stealing the funds from thousands of people. In XX/XX/XXXX they notified everyone that they were not going to be able to ship their product. ( This was the second fraud, after charging my card 3 times instead of 1 time. 

I contacted CHASE Bank and they told me that there was nothing I could do since I could only dispute transactions for the last 3 statements. There was a XXXX page started for all purchasers of XXXX who had their funds stolen to give people information on how to get their funds back due to fraud. EVERY few days since XXXX there are people posting on the site about how their credit card company ( INCLUDING CHASE ) refunded the amounts since they accepted the charges of this fraud. The charges appear on my Card as " XXXX ''. All the posters say that the 3 statement limits did not apply since the delivery date was in the future and the company never delivered or returned anyones funds. THE TIME PERIOD SHOULD RUN FROM THE DATE OF NOTIFICATION WHICH WAS XX/XX/XXXX. I have tried 3 times over the last few months to dispute these charges to no avail, yet I see today, that there is another Chase Cardholder whom successfully disputed their charge along with testimonials from many people receiving their funds from many credit card companies due to the fraud. I feel i should be entitled to a credit of the {$400.00} fraudulently charged to my card. ( 3 charges of {$130.00} )

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (PA)

A few years ago I had issues with Chase, my mortgage company. I came home to a sheriff sale paper on my door. I called Chase only to find out I was XXXX payments behind! That blew my mind. I went on my bank account because I had electronic withdrawal directly to Chase, and I found my payments were sent to Chase. So I called the bank and they said the payments are marked as paid! {$10000.00} paid but Chase claimed they never received anything. And then I noticed payments had stopped being withdrawn after that. Im was not one to check my account all the time. Never received one late notice or a phone call stating I was even one payment behind. I had to get a lawyer for a modification in order to keep my house, which I had received after a long go around with Chase. Only to find out I got nailed with a {$43000.00} penalty because of the late fees, interest, etc. which would have to be paid if I were to sell my house or pay it off, on top of paying off my mortgage payments. I had struggled since then to get back on my feet. This is why I am looking for help a few years later. Nobody can tell me what happened to the {$10000.00} they " never '' received that started this nightmare in the first place. I have my bank statements stating it was paid to Chase, but my lawyer was just worried about the re modification and not helping with all the money I paid that someone received and was never accounted for. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Sir, On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX my wallet ( CCard, debit card & XXXX DL ) was stolen and subsequently money was taken out of my chequing account via debit card purchases at XXXX & XXXX ( over {$2600.00} in total ). Police reports were made to the XXXX XXXX Police Dept ( city where wallet was stolen ), and to XXXX XXXX Police Dept ( city where the frauds occurred ). Videos of the person ( s ) using the cards are available at the respective stores but will not be released to me, awaiting PDs collection, On Monday XX/XX/XXXX, I realized the Debit Card was frauded ( debit card used fraudulently on XX/XX/XXXX ) when I checked my account and immediately reported it to HSBC Fraud Dept. Note that I was immediately informed of a fraud situation by HSBC for my stolen Credit Card on XX/XX/XXXX itself, but could not stop the transaction of over {$810.00} on the Credit Card. A transaction of {$820.00} on the credit card was stopped however at about the same time. That said, I was not informed of the debit card situation on the XX/XX/XXXX by HSBC, which was frauded within about a 30 mins timeframe from the Credit Card. 

I have been working with HSBC Fraud Department ( contact as below ), primarily with XXXX XXXX, since XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, I have provided HSBC Fraud Dept with both the police reports, and have had numerous conversations with their CS Fraud Reps, and with XXXX ( over 5 calls, possibly more ). They have records of the conversations in their CS logs. Many excuses were raised as to why they are not moving on the case and refunding me the money on this case, the bottom line after many conversations, they are waiting for the PDs to " do something '' with the case - unfortunately, it seems like the PDs are ignoring this case and are not investigating for whatever reasons. I am stuck between the PDs and a huge bank that does not seem to care to want to take care of the fraud situation but is sitting on the case, seemingly to wait for the time to expire. 

I would appreciate it if you can help as I do not have any more data to provide HSBC as to my innocence - unless I am lying in the police reports, which I am not, and the videos should demonstrate that, I do not see what else I can do on my end, with both the PDs and HSBC. 

The contact/address for HSBC is as follows : HSBC BANK USA Fraud Claims & Recovery XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Tel : XXXX ( apparently if you hold on, you can get to an operator ) Investigator worked with : XXXX XXXX ( XXXX I am attaching the police reports with all the relevant details accordingly in the reports and supplemental report.

Issue: Late fee — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AR)

All my credit card accounts are set up on automatic bill pay that offer the option to automatically pay the minimum amount due ... except Bank of America. So, not having information on how to accomplish a minimum payment automatically, I checked the minimum listed and added {$5.00} to it. Well, yesterday I received an email saying my payment was past due and was charged {$16.00} for a late fee. Upon calling them today, I learned that they had upped their minimum payment without notifying me so my payment was not accepted and I was charged. This is the second time that Bank of America has charged me an unfair fee. The first was with their changing the due date by 5 days without notifying me and claiming it was because there was a different number of days in the billing cycle. I did find out that there is a way to set a minimum payment but you have to go to a totally separate page that I was never told about to do it nor were there instructions on the page to set up auto pay.
