Consumer complaint received 2023-01-10
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX)

In XXXX XXXX XXXX I filed the complaint detailed below. Nearly 6 months have passed & still no refund of our money that was stolen. I am told by Chase that XXXX XXXX cashed the altered check & they must agree to refund our money, but XXXX XXXX will not discuss with me since I am not their customer. I need someone to force Chase & XXXX XXXX XXXX to deal with this & get us our money. It is clear they cashed an altered check on our account. Just " checking in to see how Chase will respond '' as was done before is worthless. Please actually help us. 

" My company, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has had a checking account with Chase Bank for over 16 years. We pay most of our bills using their online bill pay service. Some payments are electronic, but for others Chase issues a paper check & mails it to the payee. On XX/XX/2022 I directed Chase to pay {$1500.00} to " The XXXX XXXX '' on our behalf. Chase issued a check. On XX/XX/2022 The XXXX XXXX ontacted me about the payment they hadn't received. I recalled seeing it cleared my account, so I went the Chase website and pulled up a copy of the cleared check. To my disappointment I saw the payee shown as " XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ''. Since we nor the Personal Touch know anyone by that name or address, I can only assume the payee was altered ( Chase 's own records show it was originally written to The Personal Touch ). I immediately reported this to Chase. I was informed that they would be sending me a " Declaration of Unauthorized Endorsement or Altered Item '', which I recieved, filled out & returned on XX/XX/2022. I was told that although it would take Chase XXXX days to recover their funds, that my account would be credited within 10 days to two weeks. In the meantime we paid The XXXX XXXX for the money that was missing ( not their fault ). On XX/XX/XXXX I realized Chase had not added the funds to our account, & after reaching a supervisor ( XXXX ) I was told we will not get the funds restored to our account until Chase gets its funds back from the bank where the check was cashed or deposited ( 90-120 days ). Chase, having issued the check, could easily have in place a system to confirm payees are not altered to avoid this risk. Chase chooses to accept this risk. We did not. A cost of accepting that risk should be that Chase bears the burden of temporary or permanent loss of funds for their reckless policy. All we are seeking is the restoration of the stolen {$1500.00} to our account. I have included documentation of what's been described, & our account activity since XX/XX/2022 so you can see the funds have not been restored. Thank you. ''

This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified account listed below is still reporting on my credit report in violation of federal law. The XXXX, Equifax and XXXX Credit Bureau failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

I have tried to contact CITI for 4 months now concerning a credit card. On XX/XX/2022, I asked them to validate a debt they have placed on my consumer credit report which I did not recognize. Per the FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ) they are required to respond with the name of the original creditor, the address, and the signature of the contract. As of XX/XX/2022 I still have not received the necessary information to validate the debt. On XXXX XXXX I received a letter from their customer service team in regards to my 5th request that stated they did not have the correct account number. I checked my statements and credit card and it is the correct account number. 

CITI has violated many laws during this dispute process, which I have outlined in the attachment with my full process with copies of my letters and exhibits. The most upsetting to me was repeatedly calling me for almost a month straight, violating 15 US Code 1692d ( 5 ). This happened once or twice a day at my place of work and caused me stress and embarrassment. In multiple letters to CITI, I asked them to stop all collection attempts via phone or electronic. Since those letters received by them, I have received phone calls every day from their customer support center in regards to my bill. Per 15 USC 1692d ( 5 ), a debt collector may not cause the phone to repetitively wring and 1692c ( c ) a debt collector may not contact you after you have asked them not in writing. CITI has broken the law and is liable to {$18000.00} worth of damages per 15 USC 1692k for calling XXXX XXXX repetitively. 

CITI has also reported to all three credit bureaus various times that I am 60 days late on a payment. However, this account is inaccurate, and the account is under dispute and can not be reported a credit reporting agency. I have communicated with all three credit reported agencies to have this removed and they have removed it three separate times and CITI keeps putting it back on. This has caused my credit score to plummet and has stopped me from receiving credit that is imperative to my financial wellbeing. 

I have written to the CFO of Citi, Citi 's legal team, and their customer support team without response to my requested items. They are not even recognizing my account number when the account number is correct. I am now reaching out to CFPB to get this matter resolved.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to the 3 Credit Bureaus was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. The following accounts listed below are still reporting on my Credit Reports and XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

In XX/XX/2021, a debt validation letter was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. The company responded with a copy of the contract between myself and the dealership. Per the FDCPA, I refused to send another payment until they sent a certified copy of the promissory note. It never came. They then stole my car, giving my information to someone I gave no consent to, and furnished late payments to the reporting agencies. Under duress, I paid the entire remainder of the loan that they never proved to give me completely off. They still reported the repossession and did not attempt to correct or cure the injury done to me. As a result, I have suffered higher interest rates on consumer transactions I have been approved for and have suffered many denials. They have never given me full disclosure or time to opt out of my private transaction being made public. 

The Credit Reporting Agencies ( acting as Bureaus ) are guilty of not receiving a court order or express written consent from me, XXXX : XXXX and proceeding to furnish damaging information.
