Consumer complaint received 2024-05-21 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Chase will not issue my new banking member bonus of XXXX dollars as I've meet all terms and conditions. 

It's been 15 days from the 90 day term requirement that Chase has outlined in its own terms. 

Note : This situation has arrived because my ATM card account was compromised when I never used it ( this is another issue I have with Chase regarding the security of its information systems ). 

Chase has visibility on all of my transactions ( which were solely comprised of direct deposits, ) thus the above could have never happened. 

Since I had to close my account and create a new one, Chase has been dragging its feet on applying the new member bonus code from my original account to the new one. 

I asked the Chase rep for her to escalate this AND refer me to a manager, but she was unwilling. 

My phone call took place at XXXX PST.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally report an issue I am experiencing with XXXX 's credit card and their reporting system to the credit bureaus, which has resulted in a significant and unexplained drop in my credit score. 
Details of the Issue : 1. Credit Score Impact : On [ insert date ], I received a notice from the credit bureau that my credit score had dropped by XXXX points overnight without any prior warning or notice. This sudden drop is highly irregular and concerning. I have never received a statement or a bill for this account and that is why it has not been paid in a timely fashion. 
2. Account Confusion : XXXX 's informed me that I had opened the account in XX/XX/year>. However, I distinctly remember opening an XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>, not a XXXXXXXX XXXX card. I understand that XXXX XXXX does not have a card bearing XXXXXXXX XXXX name. It seems XXXXXXXX XXXX may be converting some accounts from XXXX XXXX to XXXXXXXX XXXX without consumer consent or approval. This is deceptive and potentially illegal. 
3. Penalty Charges : XXXX 's charged me over 50 % of the due amount, labeling it delinquent for being over 30 days late. This penalty is excessively high and unfair, especially since I did not receive any bill, notice, or warning. 
Request for Resolution : I have always paid my dues on time and maintained an excellent credit score ( over XXXX across all three credit bureaus ). XXXXXXXX XXXX actions have unjustly impacted my credit standing. I respectfully request the CFPB to : 1. Investigate XXXX XXXX credit reporting practices, especially concerning the sudden and unexplained drop in my credit score. 
2. Ensure that my credit score is restored to its previous excellent status. 
3. Address the unfair penalty charges imposed by XXXX XXXX for the alleged late payment. 
This situation has caused me significant distress, and I hope for a fair and just resolution. I appreciate your assistance in this matter. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. Please contact me if you require any additional information. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I put all my Syncrony cards on paperless after they said theres a fee and now theyre charging even though I received NO statment, they also lowered my credit rating that now impacts my overall credit worthiness by raising my useage even though Ive no late payments, its on auto pay and I rarely use it because of skyrocketing interest rates. I filed with the XXXX  but that went unanswered and I feel this is retaliation for the XXXX  complaint If they say its because of my credit useage its truly because they lower limits and that falsely shows high useage..
