Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: CarMax, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX, a check was sent to Carmax in the amount of {$23000.00} to pay off a vehicle that I had cosigned on. On that same day Carmax finance had taken {$700.00} out of my checking account through auto pay that I had set up on their website. I contacted Carmax finance regarding the refund and was told that it was going to take a couple weeks before I received it. I have contacted Carmax finance multiple times since the car was paid off and I have been continually told that the check was in the mail. At one point they said they were going to next day air the check, that never happened. I contacted my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to dispute the charge, and as a result, they did reverse the charge but after hearing back from Carmax, I was sent a letter telling me that they were going to remove the funds from my account because it was a valid transaction. I called my bank to see if Carmax had provided any documentation about the transaction. The representative informed me that no documentation was provided. All they did was state that the charge was valid and that was enough to end the investigation that I requested.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am filing this complaint because Chase is failing to protect me as a consumer by refusing a chargeback for a misrepresented, possibly unsafe injectable product. 

XXXX. Purchase Details : On XX/XX/year>, I purchased an injectable skincare product from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) using my Chase credit card. 

Upon receiving the product, I noticed that it lacked a tamper-proof seal and serial number, which are standard authentication features for verifying product safety and authenticity. I went into the manufacturer 's website ( skinniclabsuisse.com ). Per the manufacturer, there should be a seal and a serial number. The merchant did not disclose that this version would lack these critical safety features. 

XXXX. Contacting the Merchant & Their Vague Responses I contacted the merchant to ask about the missing serial number and seal. The seller could not provide a clear explanation and instead claimed that this was a " limited edition '' version that did not come with a serial number. I even asked for any documentation to prove the authenticity of their product but they stopped responding to me. 

Since this is an injectable product, authentication is crucial for safety. Without proper verification, there is no way to confirm whether the product is safe for use. At this point, I immediately stopped using it due to safety concerns. 

XXXX. Disputing the Charge with Chase ( First Call - Denied Due to Product Use ) I called Chase to dispute the charge, explaining that the product was misrepresented and missing key safety verification features. 

Chase denied my dispute, stating that because I had already used part of the product, they could not assist with a chargeback. 

I explained that I had no way of knowing the product was defective until after opening and attempting to verify it. Since missing authentication features are not visible until use, I could not have detected the issue earlier. 

Despite this, Chase still refused to assist. 

XXXX. Disputing the Charge with Chase ( Second Call - Denied Due to Merchant Return Policy ) I called Chase a second time to re-escalate the dispute under " Misrepresentation / Product Not as Described. '' This time, Chase gave a different reason for denial, stating that because the merchant has a " No Returns, No Refunds '' policy, they can not force a refund. 

This reasoning is incorrect because : - Chargebacks exist to protect consumers from misrepresented, defective, or unsafe productsregardless of a merchant 's return policy. 
- The product was missing required authentication features that were not disclosed before purchase. 
- A " no refund '' policy does not allow a merchant to sell unverified, potentially unsafe injectables.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite my submissions and attempts to submit, Equifax consistently responds within XXXX stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. I have also been trying to dispute XXXX inaccurate accounts by the same creditor yet Equifax does not allow for me to do so via their website, when I call the representatives always say they'll submit the disputes for me yet no investigation has been done. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C 1681i, which mandates a reasonable Investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceedings ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. Below is a list of accounts I have marked as inaccurate ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
