Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (FL)

On XXXX XXXX XXXX I requested that all 3 credit bureaus remove any inaccuracies on my report or remove the account. That information is still inaccurate on all 3 credit reports.

The credit bureaus stated acct name & account # was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, last active date is also inaccurate & the date last reported is not accurate. This is grounds for removal. They have also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A section 2.

The law clearly states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I havent given this account written permission to furnish this account on my credit report.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Account Resolution Corporation (AR)

I never received anything by mail from the collector, XXXX XXXX XXXX. The last time I was seen by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was for a XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. The XXXXr did it on the wrong side of my XXXX. I was told by an administrator that I would not be charged. To the best of my knowledge, that is exactly what they say I owe for. I believe my debt to them was paid off by XXXX, for charges prior to that XXXX. I was not sent an itemized bill that included payments I had made or the new charges. I had no idea this collection agency was trying to collect anything from me until I saw it on XXXX XXXX in XXXX or XXXX. 
I tried to dispute it on that app but never saw any results. I dont believe I owe money to this collector or clinic. I should have sued after the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but couldnt really afford the legal fees. They obviously knew I could have sued or they would not have quickly said I would not be charged for that day. I had even already paid a copy of {$50.00} when I checked in which was not returned. 
If I do owe them money, I need to see an itemized statement with both charges and payments. They have never sent one!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

I received a personalized letter from Chase to apply for a Chase Southwest Airlines card. 

The letter contained a personalized invitation code. And mentioned that I am pre-approved. 

Being an existing customer, I logged into Chase and confirmed that I was still pre-approved to apply. 

I applied and was rejected. 

The Chase representative over a phone call told me that I am not eligible for this card as I had more than 5 cards open in the past 24 months. 

If that's the case, why did Chase send me a personalized letter to apply for it? 

Now the unnecessary check is on my credit report.

Hi I hope all is well!

The credit reporting agencies stated that these accounts were properly investigated and came back as verified. However, how is this true when there are several inaccuracies showing on my report?

As a consumer, I request to know all the steps your agency took to insure these items were 100 % accurate under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) Method of verification- Description of reinvestigation procedure
