In XXXX XXXX I called XXXX XXXX to make my monthly payment, decided to pay 2 seperate pymnt in order to pay 1 month in advance.I had no idea when fraud occurred & credit  union cancelled my card that XXXX pymnts were not paid. No NSF fees, trying to recover cash, contact all auto-debitors, finding unknown SS #, addresses, employment, credit inquiries, attempts to finance a vehicle and more connected to my credit report ... what i later found to be XXXX recorded messages in my vmail sound like telemarketing, incomplete, started with 2 min white noise, cut off with incomplete info & was unsure who called. They reported me dropping my credit score 42 pts overnight.I was in 1st stages of home equity loan to upgrade my home, this ruined all arrangements for that.I spent hours, days, made over 40 calls to XXXX/Experian, Corporate promised me a callback in 10 min, after visiting a store manager asking him to please call in order to attempt getting someone to help me, they never called.He was embarrassed for corporate. I tried everything, I explained the fraud, offered credit union statements, proof no NFS fees, you name it and they referred me time and time again to Experian who referred me back to XXXX. Started on XXXX XXXX and it is XXXX XXXX, no one has ever responded to my calls, emails, requests for help, complaints, nothing but a runaround from a huge chain that never sent a letter about my missed payment, never responded to my many emails or phone calls, but manages to blow up my email daily with duplicate " offers '' in an attempt to entice me to spending more money. They make sure they have the resources for marketing while leaving long time customers hanging in the wind with no answers or assistance of any type. Paying them off income tax time and destroying the card which I have not used in months.Bottom line, XXXX did not make a effort to contact me about the payment via email, phone or mail other than a poor recorded call that lacks required contact information. In the end, I was promised help the never came, a phone call from the gentleman at Corporate that oversees accounts who I was told is unable to accept phone calls in his office.

If you continue to disregard my demands for compliant reporting practices, I will consider this letter as an official notice prior to my petition for a writ of review in civil court. As the injured consumer of your inadequate reporting practices, I contest your assumed reporting privileges for any and all of your challenged claims in this consumer complaint. I demand that you demonstrate your compliance with state and federal reporting mandates, including the FCBA, FCRA, ECOA, and any applicable laws in my state. I am concerned that your claims may not adhere to industry standards for legal and ethical reporting, particularly in relation to the Metro 2 Data-filled Field Formatted Reporting Standards, per CDIA.

Upon reviewing my personal consumer credit report, I have noticed questionable and/or inadequately reported data in my file at your company 's office. I am confused as to how and why this information has been populated or repopulated into my credit report profile, and whether or not I received the required 5-day notice of its return to reporting. Per the FCRA, any item previously removed can not be reinserted into a consumer 's credit report without written notice to the injured consumer within five business days. I have not received such notice, nor have I received any evidence of the accuracy and completeness of your reported claims. Your failure to remove these claims is a violation of my consumer rights and is unjust.

On XX/XX/2024, I received a Final Dispute Resolution and Updated Credit Report from Transunion confirming that the XXXX XXXXXXXX Account # XXXX was deleted from my credit file. I previously submitted an FTC Identity Theft Affidavit, Police Report, Letter and Proof of my Identity to Transunion via Certified Mail and requested an IDentity Theft Block of this information in XXXX and XXXX under FCRA 605B. Transuion didn't comply with the block and initiated a dispute which I didn't request which was finalized on XX/XX/2024. In XX/XX/2024 Transunion violated FCRA and reinserted the previously deleted XXXX XXXXXXXX Account on my Transunion Credit File Number XXXX with no notice and violated 15 U.S Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( iii ) in which I am requesting payment of {$1000.00} as well as the block/removal of the XXXX  XXXX credit listing that was previously deleted on XX/XX/2024 and reinserted in XX/XX/2024. I am not requesting any opening of disputes as this prevents me from having access to my credit file. I am NOT requesting any blocks or fraud alerts or freezes to my credit file or any retaliation from Transunion preventing access to my credit file as I need ongoing access to monitor my credit.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (WA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I got {$99.00} charged by XXXX for XXXXXXXX XXXX and I believed that it was covered under my Chase Sapphire Reserve membership. I contacted Chase around the same time about this charge. I was told by a Chase customer service agent that the charge will be credited back once it is posted and it is on record as well. However, I checked it today and I didn't see any charge to be credited. I talked to them and they told me that this membership is not complimentary after the first year and they will not credit that transaction and did not care about what I was told initially by their agent. I felt that I was provided with incorrect information. Chase Sapphire card is very expensive I pay {$550.00} every year for it and the kind of treatment that I got was not expected.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (KS)

American Express charged me a spurious {$15.00} penalty on a XXXX AMEX  credit card after I had cancelled it and attempted to pay off a {$15.00} balance using my AMEX bank accounts! 

I cancelled my XXXX AMEX card XXXX XX/XX/2023. I sent the final payment balance of {$15.00} immediately from my AMEX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but the payment did not go through. AMEX instead tried to draw the payment from my AMEX checking account which did not have sufficient funds. Therefore the initial payment was rejected. 

After speaking with an agent approximately a 7 business days afterward ( upon discovering did not go through ), she assured me that I should transfer funds from the XXXX to checking and the system would automatically draw funds from checking, which eventually did happen. 

On XXXX XXXX, I discovered that AMEX charge me a Return Payment Fee of {$15.00}. I called AMEX and challenged this spurious charge. This so-called penalty fee is a classic example of consumer financial gouging. I have never had a late credit card payment in 30+ years of using credit cards. This over-charge is why the United States needs the CFPB to protect consumers against spurious fees in the age of frictionless transactions. I am willing to talk more to CFPB officials if requested to do so.

Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc. (AZ)

Purchased a {$100.00} gift card to earn {$20.00} promotional credit from : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The website is operated by Blackhawk Network / Cashstar ( BHN ). I received an email confirmation that {$100.00} was purchased on XX/XX/XXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX I went to redeem the gift card at the restaurant and only {$10.00} was on the card and {$0.00} remaining balance. I am missing {$90.00}. The restaurant was unable to see transaction history and so I asked BHN. They only see a purchase for {$100.00} and a current balance of {$0.00}. I received the {$20.00} promotional credit but would rather have my full value of {$100.00}. They do not have transaction history. This is a XXXX issue. I was deceived and now I have lost {$90.00}. If we can see transaction history, you will see that only {$10.00} was loaded onto the card. I plan to dispute with my credit card company, but the transaction has not posted to my card yet. I can only speculate that the coding was entered incorrectly. I was charged correctly, however, the value loaded onto the card was incorrect. Please see the receipts and pictures as evidence. This is a holiday offer and I am worried that they are going to take the deal down before this can be investigated.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MI)

I have an account with farm home that is owned by sincroni bank last month i made a payment and requested that it be applied to the promotional balance. The regular payment was not due at that time. They told me it would take 1 to 2 billing cycles and it would show up. The billing cycle passed i looked at it on line and it did not show a promo balance. Today i tried to use the card and they closed the account saying it was because of my other accounts and too much credit. i had the customer service person check on the promo balance. she said they only applied part of it to the promo balance. Also i can no longer look at the account on line because it says we no longer service your account. The person i talked to typed in a request that the amount be corrected and applied to the promo balance again saying it will take two months for it to happen. She said i should still be able to access on line but i can not it says account is no longer being serviced. I do not get paper copies of the billing. The promo balance is due to be paid off by XXXX billing date which is the XXXX That amazingly enough is 2 months from now. They are trying to keep me from paying my promo balance because they will then charge me interest for the entire original balance. There is no one to talk to except the person on the phone and they have no authority. I need help with this i have tried to pay it off but they are basically refusing my payment. they said they could not send me proof that they had noted it in their system either. They claim there is no way to prove i asked that it be applied i just had to trust that they would apply it properly and as you see they did not. This is very underhanded closing the account so i can not see what is happening with it and not applying the payment as requested. i tried at XXXX other point to pay the promo balance but they did not they will apply XXXX dollars which is not enough to cover the balance by the end of the term that is why i wanted to pay more. It would need to be XXXX each month from now until the promo ends. i feel they are intentionally doing this to get the interest on the promo even though they offered free XXXX on it for 15 months. I held up my end but they are getting away with this an no one is doing anything. i am sure i am not the only one. They should be brought up on fraud charges by someone. I am not the only one they have done this too. additionally i have no paperwork i can attach to file this complaint because when i try to access the account it says they do not service it any longer. please be fast
