XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX, a debt collection agency located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, with contact number XXXX.

Facilitate communication between me and XXXX XXXX XXXX to resolve these issues amicably.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

to whom it may concern, I previously wrote you to investigate and verify a bankruptcy listed on my credit report and I received a response that the bankruptcy was verified with the bankruptcy court.

I contacted the U.S. Bankruptcy Court courthouse to verify their information release policy. The court informed me that they do not provide anyone with a debtors full social security number, and they do not provide ANY credit bureau ANY information about ANY bankruptcy cases. I have included a copy of the response from the courthouse for your reference. 

It is quite clear that someone from Equifax lied about verifying this bankruptcy with the courthouse. That is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As you know, it is also a violation of the FCRA to report inaccurate or unverifiable information on a credit report. Thus, I demand that you IMMEDIATELY REMOVE the following bankruptcy from my credit report : " XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy '', Docket # : XXXX Please respond to me in writing once this removal has been completed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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. (OH)

I was scammed and took a job that was not real. I was asked to purchase some computers and send them to a holding facility so they could ship them overseas to sell. I made the purchases with my credit card and was provided an account to pay off the balances each time. The credit card company took a couple days to process each payment and then cleared each payment and provided me an updated credit availability. About 2-3 weeks into the job I checked my bank account ( like I do daily ) and noticed all of the payments made from the ( what I guess was a fake bank account ) account they provided had been returned. Now I have more than double what I even had available for credit limit on two separate cards which equals just about {$40000.00}. I was expecting to get paid from this so called job not have it ruin my entire life. I dont have a job because I thought I was doing a job I signed official employment documents and everything but now all numbers are disconnected and communication has ceased and I am stuck with all this debt that I have absolutely no way of paying. I dont understand how the credit card company even allowed me to spend more than double what I even had in available credit limit and they are saying I am liable for the full amounts. They are both credit cards with chase bank.
