Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MA)

My wife and I received an unsolicited VISA credit card in the mail from Chase. When i called to verify, they insisted that she must have applied for it. When she spoke with them they were very condescending and tried to convince her that she had applied for it. When that didn't work, they then insisted that it was really a replacement card on a very old account. 

It is my understanding that " Under Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, it's illegal for a credit card company, store, or other entity to send you a credit card you didn't request. ( 12 C.F.R. 226.12 ). So, most companies don't send out straight-forward unsolicited cards. But some companies try to get around the law by sending " replacement '' credit cards for accounts that are no longer active. Sending these types of cards, if unsolicited, still violates the law. '' At best, this is dishonest and deceptive practices, but I really suspect that they are creating fake accounts again in hopes of drumming up business and feel that their best chances are to bully senior citizens into accepting such.

Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did.

Per FCRA section 605 you are required to remove any accounts listed on an ID THEFT REPORT # XXXX. Ive already included this report in a previous letter & I am including it again. Ive informed my attorney of my intentions & they are excited to hold you accountable for your willful noncompliance. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the police report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... 

Please note that you have 4 business days to block the reporting of any information in my credit file that resulted from an alleged identity theft. I do not consent to E-OSCAR or any means of automated verification.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
