Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, {$4500.00} I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate information reported by your company to the consumer reporting agencies. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested verification of a debt and its accuracy. By the date of XX/XX/XXXX, your company verified it. I believe this information is incorrect and has negatively impacted my credit report, affecting my character, reputation, and livelihood.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, as a furnisher of information, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of information provided to consumer reporting agencies. The reported charge-off, according to IRS guidelines , is considered income, not a debt, and should not appear on a consumer report.

The IRS defines a charge-off as income, which is not to be reported on credit reports. Therefore, the current reporting is inaccurate. Furthermore, the IRS requires a 1099-C form for cancelled debts over {$600.00}, which I have not received.

By law, you can not furnish information you know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. I demand that you cease reporting this inaccurate information immediately and remove it from my credit report.

Please consider this letter as formal notice of the inaccuracies, and I request that you address and rectify this matter promptly. You have 10 calendar days to remove this entry from my credit report.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
when opening account i set a pin for my ATM card that has not changed since the account has been opened. i tried to enter my pin and kept saying its incorrect/invalid. got onto the website into my account to try to change the ATM pin and says can not that they will send a number within 5-7 business days or go into a branch to change it. issue is 1. going into branch is usually a wait and i am not going to wait 5-7 business days to receive a pin in the mail. i contacted chase and asked why this is that i can not just change it online once logged into my account. they claim its for security reasons which is ridiculous when other banks have this option. all chase appears to be doing is making it more difficult for their customers to do business. i work and a single parent and can not waste time going into a branch. the rep got rude with me when i suggested they need to change this policy and make it easier for customers. she said would relay my complaint but i could tell she wasnt going any further with it. this is very unprofessional and ridiculous way to do business when we cant even change our ATM card pins online as able to do with other financial institutions.
