Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer of Chase Bank for almost a decade as a credit card holder and have never received a credit line INCREASE, despite paying on time every month. Back in XXXX, they decreased my credit limit by {$2700.00} from {$8500.00} down to the balance on the card, which was {$6300.00} ( bringing my available balance to zero ), stating that because of the pandemic, they had to lower credit lines because they didn't want consumers depending on the card. I called and asked to reconsider as I never made a late payment. They told me they could rerun my credit report as a hard pull, to reconsider my limit. I agreed but shouldn't have, because nothing changed from the week prior that they pulled it ( and have it on record ) so they denied my reconsideration. Fast forward to XXXX, Chase offers me the XXXX card with a XXXX XXXX limit. Yes I've been using the card and it was below 30 % usage, so when my card declined at the store XXXX day, I was shocked because that shouldn't be happening. I looked into it and found out Chase lowered my credit line from {$21000.00} down to {$6900.00}, which is what the balance on the card was, putting me at 100 % usage, skyrocketing my monthly minimum and tanking my credit score. They also decreased my credit line on my other Chase card, putting that XXXX at 100 % usage now as well. I contacted Chase and they offered to " reconsider '' by again doing a hard pull of my credit, even knowing nothing would be different from XXXX days ago, and the rep on the phone didn't deny it either, but they're willing to hurt their customers credit even more with a hard inquiry, just to say " sorry we tried '' but they really didn't try at all. I was told the decision was not because of my good relationship with Chase, but because some of my other NON-Chase accounts were 'higher than they like '. It always seems to be a different vague reason with no basis of merit. This PREDATORY practice hurts Chase customers not only financially, but in regards to XXXX XXXX too and it shouldn't be allowed to continue.

Company: Herbert P. Sears Co., Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an entry on my credit file listed " XXXX XXXX ''. After being a victim of identity theft in XXXX, weird things begin to show on my credit report. This was one of them. I provided a police report to XXXX and the current collection agency at that time, XXXX  so the theft of my identity. The fraud account was removed from my account XX/XX/XXXX. I received an alert on my XXXX report on XX/XX/XXXX that a collection was added. I checked and it was an " HP SEARS ''. I called and they told me the above mentioned debt was sold to them. How when it was removed as fraud? Not to mention, it is my understanding that medical debt can not be added to your credit report anyway. Sounds like this is illegal and fraudulent as I did my due diligence for years to get it removed. I have since re-disputed this entry on all my credit reports. XXXX was the only one that honored the fact this has already been identified as fraud and removed it again. Please have HP Sears remove this illegal collection as it has been previously removed by all XXXX credit bureaus and resolved.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I always pay my bills on time, I know this for sure. I dont understand why this company says I paid late in some months. According to USC 1666b, any billing mistake should be fixed and marked as paid on time.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
