Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received a call from XXXX XXXX, the Branch Manager at the Chase branch in XXXX XXXX. She informed me that I was denied the opportunity to open a business checking account because I was selling religious coloring books for children online. XXXX 's behavior during this interaction was both unprofessional and discriminatory. Instead of offering assistance, she seemed more interested in asserting her authority. 

When I requested written documentation of the denial and asked her to repeat the reason, she abruptly hung up on me. I called back and spoke with XXXX XXXX, a relations banker, to express my intent to close my personal checking account due to the discrimination I faced. XXXX then joined the conversation and insisted that I come into the branch to close the account. 

When I visited the branch to close my account and withdraw my funds, XXXX denied me access to the branch and the money in my account. She informed me that my account had been closed and that I would receive a check in approximately two weeks. 

In XX/XX/year>, I received a letter from Chase dated XX/XX/year>, stating, " We believe that its in our best interest to close your account ( s ) due to inappropriate conduct with our employees. '' However, the only inappropriate behavior was from XXXX XXXX, who acted unprofessionally, entitled, and discriminatorily. 

XXXX actions were unprofessional but also unlawful, as she withheld my money. It is deeply concerning that someone with such a discriminatory attitude holds a managerial position at Chase Bank. I hope this matter is taken seriously and addressed appropriately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for reporting a debt on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit report that was previously removed due to identity theft. This debt was originally removed in XX/XX/XXXX following a successful dispute that confirmed the debt was a result of identity theft. Despite the debt 's removal, it has reappeared on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit report, causing significant distress and potential harm to my creditworthiness. 

This re-reporting violates several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). **Violation of FCRA : ** 1. **Re-Insertion of Previously Deleted Information : ** Under the FCRA , specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), if information that has been deleted from a credit report is reinserted, the consumer reporting agency must notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing within five business days. I did not receive any such notification from XXXX regarding the reinsertion of this debt. 

2. **Accuracy of Information : ** Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. The reappearance of this debt, which was confirmed to be a result of identity theft, violates this requirement. 

**Violation of FDCPA : ** 1. **Failure to Provide Validation of Debt : ** Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), if a consumer disputes the validity of a debt, the debt collector must cease collection of the debt until it obtains verification of the debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide any such validation despite my previous dispute and the confirmed removal of this debt. 

2. **Unfair Practices : ** According to 15 U.S.C. 1692e, a debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting a debt that was previously identified and removed as a result of identity theft is both deceptive and misleading. 

**Supporting Legal Cases : ** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : ** This case supports the need for credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of an item on their credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) : ** This case emphasizes the requirement for debt collectors to provide verification of the debt upon a consumer 's request, halting all collection activities until such verification is provided.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
