Consumer complaint received 08-11-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NV).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: There were withdrawals being made from my bank account at Chase Bank, the origin being XXXX XXXX bank. This was an automatic withdrawal that had not been approved by me. I did not become aware until more than 6 months later when I checked my statements. I had put my trust in this bank, that they would notify me of any unusual activity, since they told me they would when I opened up my account with them. which they failed to do. Upon contacting Chase, they told me it was from a dealership. They made XXXX different withdrawals, for an amount {$800.00} every month. I have contacted Chase on several occasions to inquire about the exact dealership as well as the name the person who is making all these withdrawals, and they have refused to give me any information except to tell me that they are only returning 3 months worth of withdrawals. I also let them know about another withdrawal that had been made for almost {$500.00} from XXXX, which I do n't have an account with either. I have pleaded with them for help, and even let them know I would be contacting other mediums if they refused to help. I have proof of the vehicle that I owe nothing to any dealership under my name. I have also contacted XXXX to make sure there are no accounts currently in my name to prove I did not pay those. I also can prove that my residence is not the one that my account paid for. I contacted XXXX and was told that Chase would be the only one that could reverse that charge. I am hoping that there is something that you can do for me, because these funds are mine, and I have NOT authorized for anyone other than myself to use my account for any purposes.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I spoke to a rep over the phone and told her that I have disputed the XXXX account before and has come back verified. The rep stated she will submit a request and make sure to add that this account is not an unsecured account and the company will have to either update it to reflect wha the account really is or delete. I have previously sent in disputes as well disputing that I do not have an unsecured loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent in verfication from XXXX XXXX XXXX bwith documentation from the creditor that is not an unsecured loan. The results came back as paid and closed. No one is addressing that the account is reporting incorrectly. I do n't have an unsecured loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act that the credit reporting agencies provide you in the credit report that is sent out in the mail. Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within XXXX days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not verify that I have an unsecured loan with them. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX ext XXXX, spoke to a representative that stated the reason the credit report is showing XXXX XXXX is because they do n't have any other options to choose. The explanation that I was given of this action that has taken place on credit report is not my fault and supposed to be removed for reporting false information.

Consumer complaint received 02/26/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with I.C. System, Inc. (VA).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint: I disputed an amount with XXXX XXXX in XXXX. They refused and said they would ruin my credit. They then put the amount they said I owed {$82.00} on my credit as unpaid debt. As of XXXX XXXX, a debt collection agency added this debt to my credit as a new debt and has claimed it as late for the last year. This was an old debt, added onto my credit as a new delinquent debt. I found it on XXXX, due to an app I have, and suspect it is also with the other two credit bureaus, but have not paid to receive a copy of those reports yet. This is underhanded ... adding this debt as a new delinquency. 

I contacted XXXX  and disputed the debt and as of XXXX Experian has removed it from my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 06-03-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with National Credit Systems,Inc. (KY).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016 at around XXXX I called national credit systems at XXXX and was transferred to XXXX XXXX. I inquired about settling the debt for {$2000.00}, with the original amount being just under {$3900.00}. XXXX informed that she would have to submit a formal request to the original creditors, XXXX on XXXX, the apartment units I originally owed money to. When I asked about obtaining a copy of this formal request for my records she denied me this request and said I have no right to know what they are sending. I explained to her that as a consumer I felt I did have a right to a copy of this request since it has my name and it is a request for a financial settlement. I was again denied this request later in the day after being transferred to her supervisor, XXXX XXXX. On XXXX I reached out to XXXX XXXX who is XXXX and XXXX 's manager. XXXX also informed me that he is unwilling to provide me with the official request that was being sent to XXXX because it is client privilege and he does not have to release such documents. I asked him he could then provide me with a letter from the company to myself stating that they sent a formal request to XXXX on XXXX inquiring about a possible settlement for my account. He also refused to provide me with this letter. As a consumer, I feel that I am entitled to keep track of what this company is doing regarding my inquiries to settle this debt. Their refusal to provide me with any documentation of their attempts is making me question if they are really taking these actions at all.

Consumer complaint received 04/16/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WV).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: On XX/XX/18, I spent nearly an hour on the phone with TransUnion trying to get my credit report freeze temporarily lifted so that I could apply for a XXXX credit card. I first tried TransUnion 's web site and was unable to find a link to unfreeze my report. All I could do was order a credit report. So I tried the phone number that XXXX  had on its letter ( XXXX, a number XXXX  said had been specified by TransUnion ), which led to another dead end ( after being forced to listen to ad after ad after ad ) and a disconnect. I tried again. Same thing : long wait then disconnect. So I found another number, XXXX, which, after again being forced to listen to ads, NEVER gave me the option leading to a credit freeze lift. I tried that twice. Finally, I tried XXXX and eventually found a real person. ( I wont even complain about the terrible connection and hard-to-understand accent. ) TransUnion then charged me {$5.00} to temporarily lift the freeze.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Hunter Warfield, Inc. (MO).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX 2015 because I lost my job and was forced to move in with friends. During the same month I was told that I could buy out my lease, but only had 20 days to do so for about XXXX. I could n't come up with that amount of money that fast. By XXXX 2015 I started receiving collection notices via mail and phone by a bill collector named Hunter Warfield in Florida. They are trying to collect over {$8000.00} for moving out of the apartment before the end of the lease. I told the bill collector that I had agreed to buy out the lease with the apartment complex manager via emails and he did n't care. He told me to call the apartment complex and discuss that with them in which I did via emails. The apartment manager told me there was nothing that she could do since it was at the bill collectors office. Also, I asked her to let me have my apartment back and I would catch up the late rent but she said no. I had only been out of the apartment for a month and a half. Taking to the bill collector again I told him that I could prove the agreement for buying out the lease for {$2600.00} but he refused, said the emails could be altered. He said they want over {$8000.00}. and nothing less. I asked for an itemized bill in which I received XXXX letters. XXXX letter with no itemization on it just the {$8000.00}. amount. The second letter said all collection processes were going to stop until the debt could be verified. Now, this past week the bill collector started calling again demanding {$8000.00}. When I told him the amount was wrong, not within the laws of the state of Missouri, asked him not to call my cell phone anymore, he hung up on me. Today, my mother said Hunter Warfields office called my moms home phone asking for me which I found embarrassing because I had to explain why a bill collector was calling them. There number is listed in the white pages so I guess they are going around calling all my relatives.

Consumer complaint received 05/21/2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Nations Recovery Center (VA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint: I have been contacted by a collection agency that never leaves a reference number. I have always had to call them back. Most of the time I get the same collection 's rep, who always says she always leaves a reference number and if I ca n't give her a number, she ca n't assist me.. Once I got another rep. I gave my address. 
She said the issue had been solved. The agency continued to call. I do n't know who I could owe. I would hate the debt to grow because of non-payment. How can I get information on who I may owe without having information and without giving someone I do not know my personal information?
