Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (RI)

This is the second complaint I have filed, the first was closed due to Chase properly recording payments for all of 1 month. They keep accepting payments but do not credit them to my account and it looks like I am behind on my mortgage. They stopped recording payments on XX/XX/10 with the exception of 1 payment made on XXXX. I am attaching the bank records with the payments made and the bank statements that as you will see don't capture the payments being made 2 times a month. 

Just for clarification, the payment of {$1300.00} that you will see credited on XX/XX/10 was made through a different bank account and is not on the list from XXXX XXXX so no payments since XXXX have been credited. I don't understand why they can't straighten this out!
