Issue: Getting a line of credit — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (SC)

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent outcomes of my applications for a business line of credit with Chase Bank. I applied for this financial product on two separate occasions and, unfortunately, received denials for both applications. 

After the initial denial, I took proactive steps to address the concerns raised by the bank regarding my income and contribution to the business. Despite making the necessary adjustments and providing additional documentation, I regrettably received a second call a month later, conveying the same results. During these discussions with XXXX XXXX and the underwriting team, I explained that, as a retired military personnel, I do not receive W2s. However, I assured them that my income and credit score are more than sufficient to meet the requirements. 

I have diligently provided the bank with income verification letters to substantiate my financial position. Unfortunately, it seems that the underwriting team is unwilling to acknowledge or recognize my income, raising serious concerns about the fairness and transparency of the evaluation process. 

My primary concern is the inconsistency between the bank 's acceptance of my applications over the phone on both occasions, only to be followed by subsequent denials. If I did not meet the qualifications for any of the business products, it begs the question as to why my application was processed over the phone in the first place. 

At this juncture, I am left with the impression that the denial may be more rooted in redlining based on demographic factors rather than a genuine evaluation of my ability to repay or my qualifications for the business line of credit. I find this deeply troubling and contrary to the principles of fairness and equal opportunity. 

I am reaching out in the hope that we can address these concerns promptly and transparently. I kindly request a thorough review of my applications, taking into consideration the provided income verification letters and my overall financial standing. I believe in the importance of fair and unbiased lending practices and trust that Chase Bank shares these values. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that ensures equal treatment and opportunity for all applicants. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit reporting agencies Experian, XXXX, and XXXX regarding fraudulent activity related to an auto loan taken out in my name without my consent or knowledge. 

I discovered that my identity had been stolen by my son, who fraudulently acquired an auto loan in my name without my authorization. I have never visited a XXXX dealership nor have I ever consented to or signed any documents related to an auto loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, I have never provided permission for anyone, including my son, to use my personal information for the purpose of obtaining a loan. 

Despite these facts, XXXX XXXX XXXX has initiated a loan account in my name without obtaining my wet ink signature or any form of contractual agreement. I have never entered into any agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I have not benefited from nor have any association with the auto loan in question. This loan was acquired through deceptive and fraudulent means, and I demand that XXXX XXXX XXXX provide evidence of any legitimate contract or agreement with me. 

Additionally, I hold Experian, XXXX, and XXXX responsible for their negligence in verifying and authenticating the legitimacy of this loan. As consumer reporting agencies, they have a duty under federal law ( 15 USC 1681o and 15 USC 1681n ) to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they report. However, they failed to verify this loan with me before including it in my credit history. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene in this matter and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX and the credit reporting agencies involved. Specifically, I demand that : The auto loan account in question be removed from all credit history maintained by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX in accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2 and FCRA 605B. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX provide evidence of any legitimate contractual agreement with me or remove the fraudulent loan account from their records. 
I reserve the right to pursue legal action, including arbitration or lawsuit, to seek punitive damages for the harm caused by the inclusion of this fraudulent account on my credit report. 
I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate action to rectify the injustice done to me. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

I spoke to TransUnion on yesterday and today. Yesterday the young lady said that the Bankruptcy was removed from my report. Today I look and it is still on there. So I called again and this time another person told me that it will stay on there for 10 years. First of all they are reporting that I filed bankruptcy last month which is totally incorrect. Transunuion is the only company reporting this. I asked that they remove it f on my file and they have yet to do it.
