Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), Section 602a emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting agencies handling their responsibilities fairly, impartially, and with respect for privacy. I, as the consumer, assert my right to safeguard my private information, supported by 15 USC 6801, which highlights the obligation of financial institutions to respect customer privacy. XXXX XXXX, classified as a financial institution, must adhere to Section 604a ( 2 ) of 15 USC 1681, requiring consumer reporting agencies to furnish a consumer report only based on the consumer 's written instructions. 

I revoke any and all consent for XXXX, EXPERIAN and XXXX XXXX to furnish my information, explicitly stating that they lack my written consent. Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) prohibits financial institutions from disclosing nonpublic personal information without explaining how the consumer can exercise the nondisclosure option. XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of this right. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) restricts consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information without authorization.

The law ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates agencies to maintain reasonable procedures. XXXX and EXPERIAN are deemed non-compliant. Finally, according to 12 CFR 1016.7, it states that A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) 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. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 4-5 months.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ)

I have simply had it with Chase bank. I have called on several occasions to get overdraft fees removed from my account. They currently have a rule that if youre overdraft more than {$50.00}, fees will be posted AND the amount of fees are endless. So for each transaction that overdraws the account any further there will be a fee for each one. There was a point and time this year alone that Chase bank charged me well over XXXX overdraft fees. They also do not allow the fees to be removed if they have already done so once within a 180 day period. I am simply tired of having to battle with them over these fees. I have been out of work since XXXX  of this year and I can not continue having these issues. I am overwhelmed by the amount of things that my card is connected to. Instead of declining the purchase, they allow the merchant to charge my card with no funds available so they can have the opportunity to charge these fees.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (UT)

Synchrony bank ( line of credit for XXXX XXXX ) closed my account with out my permission, with a balance. When we have paid the card down to 30 % or lower, synchrony dropped our credit limit to the balance so it is always maxed out. This has greatly affected my credit report. 


I also have another account with synchrony XXXX XXXX. This account has also been lowered on my credit limit. Whenever we get to about 30 % or lower of the credit limit they drop my limit to the balance maxing out the credit line. 


There was also an issue when, the other person on the account did a balance transfer and the bank transferred the wrong balance. XXXX reported it as a late payment although there was no balance to pay when logging into the site. We called them to correct the issue, and our payment amount and payment history was incorrect for XXXX  months until it was corrected. 

We don't think it is correct that they can just lower our credit limit when we have been making onetime payments and have good history with them. Closing our account with an open balance has a major affect on our credit and borrowing history and causes us issues in the future. We don't feel like we did anything to give them a reason to lower the limit or to close the account. They stated they can close it if your credit score goes down, but there are many factors to credit and many things can make it go up or down. Including closing a card with a balance will make it go down enormously. We have been in the process of trying to get qualified to buy a home and now we can not due to them impacting our credit. 

This company doesn't consider the well being of its customers. 
I would definitely strongly recommend not using this company. When we decided to use financing we thought it would help build our credit by having a credit line and making on time and larger payments. This definitely was not the case working with this creditor.
