Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

Recently my loan payments increased because of an increased need in my escrow account. I am retired and tightly budgeted so an increase of $ XXXX/month is impossible ( partial payments are not accepted ). I learned the reason is an increase in homeowners insurance and taxes. I have explained this to Chase but they say that their hands are tied. I have had to wait to pay each month until my Soc Sec check arrives which makes my payment late. I am appealing the taxes and I have changed insurance companies. Recently I caught up but I still receive telephone calls from Chase Mortgage even when my mortgage payment is not late ( before the XXXX of the month ). They insist knowing the date when I will pay, and they say the calls will stop if I tell them the date when I will pay. I consider this harassment.

Issue: Unsolicited issuance of credit card — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VA)

Several months ago I was making a XXXX reservation and enrollment in XXXX program. Attached with the XXXX program was a promotional offer for a Chase Credit card that would have provided bonus miles as part of the XXXX program. I did not purchase the airline ticket and canceled the reservation. I believed that the XXXX program was not completed and also assumed the credit card application was voided because of that. I never received the Chase card but am being billed for initiation of an account. I advised the card company over XXXX month ago of this situation. Now, they are billing me {$100.00} for the card initiation as well as late charges. How do I get these charges canceled for the product ( credit card ) I never received, for services I 've never been provided, and having purchased nothing against the card?

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (GA)

XXXX credit cards were stolen and used unauthorized in XXXX XXXX while on a business trip in XXXX XXXX, CA. 

XXXX cards were used at a XXXX club for {$65000.00} over the span of 4 hours ( temporary charges showed closed to {$80000.00} ). I brought {$400.00} in cash but was drugged and missed my flight the next day. I filed a police report of my cards being stolen as well. I did not authorize any of these charges, let alone know how one person could have spent {$65000.00} in the span of a few hours. 

1 card was used at XXXX XXXX for {$8000.00}. The single card after I reported it stolen was immediately refunded within a month after the evidence reviewed did not match my spending history ( ever ). 

The other XXXX cards the bank is refusing to side with me or my attorneys. We received copies of the invoices only 2 months ago after months of demands of details. They had a copy of my license ( which the place took when I first came in to " scan it '' ) and the handwriting and signatures on the invoices which is not mine. I had a weak signature and the banks stance is it is close enough to previous signatures I have provided. The tip and dollar amounts are written in handwriting that looks nothing like mine. 

Additionally many of the time stamps of the receipts are well past the venue closing at XXXX PST ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX ). My credit lines were both used over the limits, and there are no records of the bank trying to call me to verify the large charges. In fact XXXX card was used in a different state that given super sonic travel could not occur that same day but the bank did not call me to cancel the card either. It 's as if they allowed all the charges to go through and see what happened later. Charges of XXXX,XXXX, and XXXX went through without any verification ( where is the security protection )? 

Please let me know if you would like more details. I can see what I am allowed to disclose but I feel this is a violation of FCBA, my credit card protections, and simply providing good customer service. I think other consumers should be aware of this bank and their treatment and lack of any customer service through this event. 

Also the strip club has a history and previous law suits to this effect that the bank is also ignoring ( please see attached for some existing cases in both significantly less dollar amounts vs fraudulent activities ). 

I look forward to speak and hopefully providing additional detail so others can be aware of this situation.

Issue: Customer service / Customer relations — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IN)

My husband and I have a credit card through Chase. On XXXX/XXXX/15 I set up an automatic payment of the balance due each month through Chase 's website. I received confirmation that Auto Pay was set up from the XXXX/XXXX/15 bill going forward. I then received a phone call from Chase saying that my bill was overdue and unpaid on XXXX/XXXX/15. After speaking with customer service, I discovered that my payment did not go through for some reason, although Chase could n't explain why. I made a payment through Chase 's website on the same day and corrected the banking information they had for the next auto pay. When I received my next bill, it said in bold letters " Auto Pay is ON. '' I called Chase Customer Service on XXXX/XXXX/15 and they confirmed that Auto Pay was on. I therefore did not schedule a payment through my bank for the next bill cycle due XXXX/XXXX/15. On XXXX/XXXX/15, Chase Customer Service called my home and told my husband the bill had n't been paid, said he " was a deadbeat '' and " had obligations. '' This same day, I called Customer Service back and they told me that Auto Pay was NOT on, and had been deleted on XXXX/XXXX/15, although Chase did not avail itself of any of our contact information to inform us of this. Chase refused to credit the {$25.00} late fee, so my husband cancelled the card and I scheduled a payment of the full balance due through my bank. I am requesting a refund of the {$25.00} late fee since this was an error that I thought was previously resolved. Chase 's collections department should not be calling customers " deadbeats '' when they have been paying their bill IN FULL, every month for years until trying to use their ridiculous auto pay service.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request you open an investigation surrounding what I believe are unfair, improper and perhaps even illegal practices engaged in by ExperianIn XXXX of XXXX I suffered a significant financial blow when a business I owned failed, which ultimately necessitated a bankruptcy filing in XXXX of XXXX. 

I had several accounts with XXXX XXXX, all of which were in good standing until XXXX XXXX. Up till that point, I had never had any inaccurate credit reporting, or felt poorly treated by XXXX, and in fact had a stellar reputation with them and a very good credit rating overall. 

In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX was notified, as were all of my creditors, as to the Bankruptcy proceedings. At that time the accounts mentioned should have been reported to credit bureaus as " closed ''. 

Further, XXXX has repeatedly, and with what seems to be malice and purpose, incorrectly reported the disposition of my accounts to The Credit Bureaus. I have tried to resolve this by opening over XXXX investigations with each credit bureau, sending supporting documentation including bankruptcy orders, discharge orders, etc. to the credit bureaus, sending the same documentation to XXXX as well as having my attorney contact XXXX. Ultimately this has yielded " XXXX '' results, and the Credit Bureaus, despite my submission of supporting and explicit documentation, claims XXXX has verified the reporting. It is my belief this constitutes a willful and purposeful intent to harm me as a consumer, and is a violation, at the very least of the FCRA, but may consist of even more severe violation of other laws and/or regulations. 

XXXX has consistently incorrectly reported account on all XXXX of my reports in this way and despite supporting documentation to the contrary, the credit bureaus continue to incorrectly report it : '' XXXX '' accounts showing them XXXX, thus severely damaging my credit rebuildingHas reported accounts as being enrolled in a " wage earner program '', which has never been the case, and has damaged my credit worthiness. 

Is reporting most accounts as closed XXXX XXXX, even though they should show closed in XXXX of XXXX, which is severely damaging my credit rating. 

Has/Is reporting accounts as " open and late ''. 

the credit bureaus refuse to revise these inaccuracies, and seem only willing to list what XXXX tells them, despite my myriad documentation to the contrary.

The XXXX Department of Education discharged my student loans as a result of my total and permanent XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX in turn discharged my student loans and reported this to all XXXX credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX. The XXXX Department of Education received notice from XXXX on XXXX that my loans were discharged. Nonetheless, and inexplicably, the XXXX Department of Education reported my loans not as discharged, paid in full, with XXXX balance, but rather reported them as in a balance status of {$100000.00} and {$95000.00} on XXXX XXXX XXXX. Now, each of the XXXX credit bureaus -- XXXX, Experian, and XXXX -- is incorrectly reporting that my loans are in balance status when they have been discharged by the XXXX Department of Education and XXXX for total and permanent XXXX and should show XXXX balance, paid in full, and closed. This represents deliberately false reporting to the credit bureaus and is discrimination against a XXXX person. These loans have been discharged for over 130 days. Please immediately resolve this and ensure that all parties and all credit bureaus show these loans as discharged, paid in full, and closed, with XXXX balance.

The only thing in my name is my car which is paid off and taxes are paid every year. I do not owe money to the government so I know it has nothing to do with that. the only thing I could think of was something medical from when I was in high school under my parents insurance which means it is not my problem

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI)

I have asked the credit bureaus to validate the bankruptcys on My credit report. Their response has been they have validated the items. They responded that they did. I spoke to them on the phone and Asked how they verified the information. Their response was they used a 3 party to validate these claims. They would not say who this third party was. I spoke with the clerk of courts and they do NOT supply the credit bureaus with this information when I disputed the items. Not only that the address supplied by the credit report company is in accurate, thus another reason why these items need to be removed. When these items are validated by a 3rd party we do not know how many other parties are in the string of validation and does not come from the original source. I feel This is violation of the fair reporting act which clearly stated this information needs to be validated directly from the source. By using another credit reporting to validate a debt is NOT verifying a debt!

I have a loan that is from XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX. I was paying then the bank that had the loan went under. I did not hear anything for yrs then when I did the loan was XXXX. No records of any $. I asked about other $, was told they did not have a record and this was the loan amount. Starting payment again. Then new company took over, loan was again the XXXX with no record of $. This has happened over & over so many times I can not keep count. Now Great Lakes has it; they had the loan at XXXX w/n record of $. I have called them over & over to try to get this settled. My loan went to default once & I was paying XXXX monthly. Great lakes did not have this records either. I called the default department to get this moved over. I asked them to contact the company that I was paying & great refuses. They refuse to look for any payment history! The student loan is listed 3 times on my credit; I have gone around & around with the student loan to get this corrected. So they finally closed XXXX of them just to leave the XXXX listed as money owed. What money is listed on the other XXXX that they closed, that money should be transferred to the great lake account. I have cks showing payments great lakes does not have & they refuse again to accept or try to help get this correct. I was buying a house in XXXX TX in XX/XX/XXXX is when I got the student loan to close out the open accounts that was listed incorrectly. I was not in default and was paying at that time I have ck to XX/XX/XXXX. This loan should be paid off, yet as I sd before Great Lakes refuses to look for the other companies that has this loan & find the payments. This is an in just to me, I want the history of my payments found and applied to the 4K which is what the loan should be. I went to school to be a nurse. I have worked in the XXXX field for over 20yrs and now XXXX. They are threaten to take my SS. I want this removed & shown as paid. I have even tried to get them to take a pay off & they refuse. I do not owe XXXX$! Please help get this settled; I do not know how you will do this without me being able to leave personal info. So I feel this is also a waste of my time & who ever reads this.

Company: GREAT LAKES (PA)

On Tuesday ( XXXX ) around XXXX, I called XXXXGreatLakes to arrange a payment to pay XXXX of my Stafford loans IN FULL. The customer service rep gave me an amount and then took my card info so that the payment could be processed. To my surprise, I checked my online account info and found that this payment amount was not directed to the XXXX loans that I requested, but it was also spread onto my other XXXX loans. My account says that it is paid ahead by over a year, however, my request was to completely pay off XXXX loans, while not touching the others. This request was made well before the monthly due date so there is no reason to apply any type of payment to the other loans, especially considering the payment applied to the other loans included both interest and principle. Whether the payment being applied this way was due to error or due to policy, it is completely unacceptable and the customer service rep acknowledged my intent to completely pay XXXX specific loans ( XXXX with the highest interest rate ) and failed to follow through properly.
