When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat the reporting accounts as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

This is my 5th attempt at respectfully trying to achieve a lawful resolve of my situation. I've asked on 3 occasions to have an investigation of items that are reporting inaccurately on my credit report be removed. My cases were closed as the credit bureaus were using stall tactics claiming that I was using a 3rd party to submit these requests and that additional authorization was needed. I reopened my cases submitting proof that no 3rd party existed in submitting my disputes. I've recently received notification from the credit bureaus that the inaccurate information that continues to report has been verified. There is NO WAY that this can be true. I am invoking my rights per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D for the credit bureaus to PROVE that they have actually DONE an investigation and not just submitted a response per a computer-generated document. These erroneous entries are detrimental to my overall credit rating and have caused me severe financial and emotional distress. This complaint is not being submitted through a 3rd party and by NO MEANS are there any additional authorizations needed for my inquiries to be addressed.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

Chase is forcing me to accept 2 electronic agreements before I can even view or access my credit card or mortgage account information. One agreement is 10 pages and one is 124 pages. Buried within the language is the unilateral right to change all communications, including monthly statements, to electronic rather than hardcopy form. I urgently need to access my account to review recent transactions and make an online payment and I am being held hostage by 124 pages of legalese that I refuse to blindly accept. Who knows what else is buried in there. This is disgraceful corporate bullying and needs to be stopped immediately. I feel for anybody who also uses Chase for banking services right now and is unable to access their money because of this strong-arm tactic.
