Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (WA)

After contacting a merchant that charged me several times without providing a service, I initiated a chargeback with Chase on XX/XX/XXXX. I won this on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the merchant simply charged my card again for the full amount of the dispute even though I had won the dispute. 

I called Chase and the answer was unsatisfactory. They opened another dispute that the merchant will have an opportunity to appeal again. There was no mechanism for automatically resolving this in the favor of the consumer. There also wa n't any mechanism for requiring a higher burden of proof from the merchant in the case of this repeat-chargeback. They also said they could not block the merchant from charging me a third time. Rather they would ask the merchant to stop charging but there is no guarantee they would comply. 

In short, there appears to be nothing stopping the merchant from repeating this behavior into perpetuity. And every time I dispute it, they will have another chance to win the dispute. One day they might win.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

Dear CFPB Team, I am writing to follow up on my complaint against Experian regarding their inadequate handling of my identity theft claims. Despite providing extensive documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, Experian has failed to acknowledge this evidence, resulting in ongoing inaccuracies on my credit report and significant emotional distress during a difficult period in my life. 

Key Issues : 1. Failure to Acknowledge Submitted Documentation : I have uploaded the FTC Identity Theft Report multiple times as proof of my identity. This report is a sworn statement and meets the requirements under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for blocking information related to identity theft. Experian has dismissed this report as an online document, failing to recognize its validity and importance in addressing my claims.

2. Legal Obligations Under the FCRA : The assertion that a police report is necessary for validating my claims is incorrect. The FTC report does not require additional validation through a law enforcement agency, and insisting on such documentation places an undue burden on me. Filing false information with law enforcement can result in criminal penalties ; however, I have complied with the law by submitting the FTC report. The law clearly supersedes any internal policies set by Experian. 



3. Harassment and Emotional Distress : The ongoing demands for documentation that I have already submitted constitute harassment. I am unwilling to send multiple copies of the same records when Experian has not acknowledged their receipt or processing. This situation has caused me significant emotional distress, particularly given my ongoing health challenges.

I 'm copying this from another internet as it accurately captures my complaint. 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. The negligent loss of personal information of nearly 200 million consumers is unconscionably unethical, and it is further unreasonable that they are not directly notifying every single person affected by this incident.

Equifax has indicated it believes my information was compromised in the XXXX XXXX 2017 data breach. Of course, Equifax was not intentionally trying to give my information away -- however, the circumstances surrounding how they handled the situation is frankly unethical and likely illegal. I work for the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, and when I read Equifax was saving sensitive user information in plain text I nearly burst a blood vessel. Handling sensitive user information in such a way is, at best, grossly negligent. I would probably get court martialed if I did something like that at my job. 
Secondly, Equifax executives knew about the breach for months, and not only did they not immediately inform the public, they cashed out their stock in the company. Last I checked, trading on insider information is illegal, and not informing compromised individuals as soon as possible is highly unethical.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency XXXX furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a XXXX grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 
15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.
