Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXXXX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, I initiated several wire transfer requests out of my Chase checking account. Each time it was denied due to security concern. In the security verification process I gave correct answers ( e.g. sum of first two digits of my social security number ) and their system rejected these answers every time. Getting additional help is only to get into infinite call loops and no avail. Chase is using non-functioning fraud check system to deny wire transfer service, and wasting my precious time

Complaint narrative:
Yesterday I was able to access my credit score on Experian and Equifax. They both had incorrect information with my name and phone number. I edited the information and today I tried to sign onto their websites but I am unable to. I have tried for over an hour to talk to someone at Experian but the phone numbers they provide are worthless. There is absolutely no way to talk to a real person only an automated system. One of the problems is they are sending responses to my XXXX email. XXXX had informed me that my storage was full and I am unable to send or receive emails. I have the XXXX email on both Experian and Equifax. XXXX is trying to coerce me into paying for extra storage. I have a second XXXX email that I rarely used. XXXX won't let me use it.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing regarding my account # XXXX { XXXX XXXX ). During the XXXX pandemic, I experienced documented financial hardship due to reduced income and death of my mother because XXXX which resulted in late payments being reported to the credit bureaus. I can furnish a death certificate if needed. 

As you are aware, the CARES Act, signed into law on XX/XX/XXXX, amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( F ) ) to prohibit adverse credit reporting for consumers who were affected by the XXXX crisis and received accommodations, such as payment deferrals or forbearances. 
Given the protections afforded under the CARES Act and subsequent CFPB guidance, I request that Capital One promptly investigate my account and remove the late payment notations reported during this period. 

Please understand that I value my relationship with Capital One and would prefer to resolve this matter directly. However, if my account is not corrected to reflect compliance with the CARES Act, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter by filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and any other applicable regulatory agencies During the XXXX pandemic, the CARES Act provided certain protections for consumers, especially regarding late payments. If you had a payment relief arrangement with your lender, they had to report your account as current to the credit bureaus. These protections have expired as of XX/XX/XXXX, so its a good idea to contact your lender to see what current options are available

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates for reporting inaccurate and unverifiable information to XXXX XXXX and XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, I sent Portfolio Recovery Associates a formal Debt Validation Request under FDCPA 809 ( B ). Their response contained no signed contract, no original account agreement, and no proof of legal assignment. Instead, they provided only a generic account summary, which does not constitute validation under federal law.

Despite their failure to validate, PRA continues to furnish this account to all credit bureaus. This violates FCRA 623, which requires furnishes to report only accurate and verifiable information. Additionally, the account is being reported in violation of Metro 2 compliance standards, making my credit file misleading and inaccurate. Under FCRA 607 ( b ), the bureau must assure maximum possible accuracy, which is not happening here.

This conduct also violates 18 USC 894 ( extortionate credit transactions ), as they are attempting to enforce an alleged debt without proof of legal obligation, while damaging my credit standing. 
I request that PRA be ordered to delete this UNVERIFIABLE account immediately from all credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management is reporting and attempting to collect on an alleged XXXX XXXX XXXX  account. The account contains contradictory balances and Midland has failed to properly validate the debt despite my written requests. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : XXXX {$720.00}. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : XXXX {$1100.00}, but only {$61.00} in fees/interest itemized leaving {$410.00} unexplained. 

Midland Response  ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : States Original Balance {$1100.00} with Accrued Interest {$0.00} / Fees {$0.00}, failing to explain the increase from {$720.00}. 

Midland continues to report this inflated balance to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without proof of how it was calculated. No signed contract, account-level itemization, or documentation of the additional {$410.00} has been provided. This is a failure to validate under the FDCPA and inaccurate reporting under the FCRA. 

Additionally, Midland has continued collection activity during the dispute, including repeated calls from known Midland numbers ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) even before sending me a written notice of debt ownership and after I disputed in writing. These calls are harassment and direct violations of the FDCPA. 

Critical Reporting Error : On my Equifax credit file, Midland is being listed as the original lender. This is factually false and misleading, as the true original creditor is XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Reporting Midland as the original lender alters the account history and violates the FCRAs requirement for accurate reporting of the character, amount, and legal status of any debt. 

Midland also sent misleading letters in XXXX suggesting litigation review despite the debt being unvalidated.
