Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple previous attempts to rectify these errors. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. 

These inaccuracies have adversely affected my creditworthiness and have caused undue stress and financial hardship. 

I would like to draw your attention to recent enforcement actions that underscore the importance of accurate credit reporting : The CFPB sued XXXX XXXXor failing to properly investigate consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports.

XXXX faced a {$23.00} XXXX fine for failures related to tenant screening and security freezes, which included not ensuring the accuracy of rental background checks. 

These cases highlight the serious consequences of non-compliance with the FCRA. 

I am requesting that you : 1. Conduct a thorough and impartial reinvestigation of the disputed items.

2. Delete or correct all inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. 
XXXX. Provide me with a copy of the updated credit report reflecting these changes. 

Please be advised that failure to comply with these requests may compel me to seek legal remedies, including filing complaints with the CFPB and pursuing litigation for damages resulting from your non-compliance.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Im filing this complaint against JPMorgan Chase regarding the mishandling of two separate credit card limit appeals and the unauthorized initiation of two hard credit inquiries without my knowledge or consent. 

In XX/XX/year>, I visited my local Chase branch to appeal a significant reduction in my credit limits across two of my Chase credit cards. At no point was I informed that this appeal would result in a hard credit pull. I later discovered that a hard inquiry had been conducted on my credit file without my authorization, which is deeply concerning. 

Worse still, I was informed that a second appeal was filed on my behalf on XX/XX/year> again without my knowledge, consent, or any explanation that it would involve another hard inquiry. I did not authorize this second appeal. 

Both appeals were denied, and I later learned they were evaluated using inaccurate credit reporting, specifically regarding a XXXX account that had been falsely reported as closed in poor standing. That account has since been corrected by XXXX to reflect closed in good standing, with all late fees and interest refunded and I can provide documentation to support this. 

I attempted to resolve the issue directly with Chase, including multiple visits to my branch and conversations with the branch XXXX. Despite this, I received inconsistent communication, vague responses, and continued escalation delays. 

I did not authorize either inquiry. These actions have negatively impacted my credit score, and I believe they constitute a clear violation of consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
