I am so displeased with the way my information was used. I have been trying to buy a home for my family, and I got denied due to damages on my consumer credit report. This is defamation of my character, and it's hindering my success. I take my livelihood very seriously, and I expected you all to as well. According to 15 U.S.C & 1681, you are supposed to promote fairness and accuracy on my credit report. But all I see are fraudulent and unauthorized accounts. I have been a part of several breaches, so at this point, you all should be protecting my privacy. This is detrimental to my emotional and XXXX  health to the point I had to have my pastor pray for me several times. I don't have access to buy a house now. I am enforcing my rights, and I expect you to be more ethical with my information. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, not one credit reporting agency should be reporting any inaccurate information anyways due to neglect use considering that I was in breach. I need help now so I can proceed to buy my family a house.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

On XX/XX/26, I received 5 letter 's from JP Morgan Chase, NA, advising that they were going to close 7 of my accounts. When I asked why, I was told that they didn't have to give an explanation because of a clause in the account application that allows the bank to do that. A search for reasons and similar situations on the internet and through personal contacts revealed various reasons for an account closure, but other than the facts of account inactivity, one turned out to be a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card that had never been used, and 2 that are just old accounts that contain funds, but had no recent transactions. Of the remaining 4 accounts, ( 2 checking / 2 savings ) all are active. There are no red flags that I can see. There haven't been any strange or sudden deposits, withdrawals, or over drafts. Two of the accounts are over XXXX XXXX XXXX, while the other 2 are only about XXXX years. I think that it's important that I be given a reason why they took this action. Without an explanation I'm unable to tell if they are working with accurate information. And without knowing if inaccurate information is being circulated how can I go about getting it corrected.

Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. (NC)

I had a pending charge from an online transaction that I didn't order. The amount was overcharged and it lowered my funds. But never over drafted my account. The transaction was always in pending. However my bank First Citizens Bank charged me an overdraft. Finally the pending charge just fell off. I tried to go to my local branch and was treated rudely by someone who I assume was some middle management. She said it wasn't their fault and she would have to see. A couple days have now passed and the funds have not been restored. It was bordering on fraud from both the company who tried to charge me and the bank who did charge me an overdraft that was never in the negative. And they will not refund it. This is the first time I noticed this action. And I wonder if it had happened before. I suspect yes. I should have been taking better notice. Also since I have been charged theNSF fees before they now hold my check stating that is for my benefit to be sure that my employers check clears. Which is hogwash. Its just a way to punish me for being poor. And I told them that. They are hardly ever friendly when I try to explain my issues with them. I have never had a bank treat me this poorly. They never take responsibility nor do they seem to care. And most likely I will be terminating this account sooner than later. I just ran across this link while looking for new banks so I thought I would send the information to you.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MO)

In XXXX, 2022, Bank of America took over the processing of my mortgage from another lender. Since that time, there have been numerous mistakes. 
XXXX. No tax records. It is XXXX and I do not have my 1098 tax records yet. Bank of America claimed that they could not send me my tax records because they did not have my address although they are holding the mortgage of my home. The former lender had no problem sending me their 1098 tax records. Furthermore, I have received some mail from Bank of America since they took over my mortgage. Bank of America can not even manage to put my tax records on their website so I could obtain them in that way. 
XXXX. After spending time on the phone with Bank of America regarding my address, Bank of America still did not correct the address problem. Bank of America emailed me a 1098 tax form which still had an incorrect address. 
XXXX. A 1098 tax form that Bank of America emailed to me had incorrect information. The 1098 form stated that my original mortgage amount was {$130000.00} when my original mortgage was {$85000.00} and I have never missed a payment. Now Bank of America states that they need 10 business days to investigate. 

First of all, it is unfair that the consumer has no control over their mortgage. I did not want to do business with Bank of America because of their poor history of problems and yet my mortgage was switched over to them. Second, nothing happens when consumers complain about the mistakes made by banks. There basically is not government protect. Bank of America will continue to mishandle consumer accounts with no penalty. My complaint will just be passed to Bank of America who will respond with a generic answer and no consequences.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA)

On XX/XX/2023 I was bnuying tickets on Delta Airlines. As I was moving through the online purchase, an offer for a American Express Gold Delta rewards card promotion appeared, offering {$300.00} off a {$1200.00} ticket price. I chose to apply and take advantage of the offer, lowering my total airline ticket price to around {$900.00}. I was approved and sent back to the Delta website ; however, there was a problem completing the transaction. I had to re-enter the flight information and this time there was no more promotion price, as I had already applied and was approved for a Card. 

After contacting Amex, they said they would be willing to open a ticket to research the marketing offer but they wouldn't guarantee to honor the offer. I chose to immediately close the account because it felt like a bait and switch. They get me on the hook for a marketing offer, but then due to the hiccup of Delta 's website, but don't follow through. Very deceptive, and worthy of a review of their marketing practices as it pertains to another party 's website being able to properly fulfill on the promise made by Amex. They should have honored the request, no questions asked.
