Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OH)

I switched jobs and didn't get the email that my check paying off the credit card for XXXX wasn't cashed because of a mix up at my bank. I received a letter from Chase credit card services on XX/XX/XXXX, 1 week after being 30'days late and them hitting my credit with a late pay. The letter is dated XX/XX/XXXX that the check wasn't cashed and email came back. I called chase to explain I never received emails or phones or a letter and they said that was untrue. I called on XX/XX/XXXX immediately after finding out my credit was hit with a 30 day late. They said they had done everything they could and would NOT lower the late pay. Absolutely unforgivable as they sent the letter out late after the lates and never called to let me know the check wasn't cashed!!! 

The letters attached were received on XX/XX/XXXX ... a week after the due date!!!

I am writing to demand immediate action regarding inaccurate, misleading, and unverified information on my credit report. Despite my previous dispute, which included an FTC report, you have failed to delete the erroneous information within the legally required timeframe. This failure is a clear violation of my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Let me make it clear : my legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and yet, your records falsely associate me with names such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. I am seeing at least six incorrect versions of my name on my report. These inaccuracies must be deleted immediately.

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XX/XX/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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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 21 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 21 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: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am submitting a complaint regarding the ongoing inaccurate reporting of an account that has been charged off and is being improperly reported on my credit report. This charge-off is being reported as a new charge-off each month, the continued reporting of this balance is inaccurate, and the account is showing a balance of {$440.00}. As a charge-off account, this balance should not be reported in this manner. This charged-off account is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), information furnished to the credit reporting agencies must be accurate and not misleading. A charge-off should be reported as a single event on the date it was first charge-off and not as if it were a new event each month. This is inaccurate and has caused significant and ongoing damage to my credit report. 




I have already disputed this issue more than once with the credit bureaus, but the inaccurate reporting persists. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPB to intervene and compel XXXX XXXX to remove this inaccurate charge-off account from my credit report entirely. The continued reporting of this account in its current state violates the FCRA and is causing ongoing harm to my financial reputation. 

Thank you kindly.

To whom it may concern : On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to the courthouse asking do they report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus and I got a letter stating They do not report any bankruptcies to anybody. So if thats the case. How did the credit bureaus verify my bankruptcy as 100 % Accurate. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681.

15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

They also violated my rights numerous times. 

The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681.

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.
