Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card. I was going on an international trip so I tried to get one of the incentives of the card set up, a priority pass, which would allow me to enter various lounges in participating airports. The night before I left, XX/XX/year>, I noticed that the priority pass still was not allowing me access through my app on my phone. I called and spoke with a rep at Chase bank and was assured that I could visit any of the participating lounges they partner with and purchase a pass and I would receive a one time credit for that charge. The next day, XX/XX/year>, I arrived at the XXXX airport and talked with the front desk clerk at the priority access lounge in terminal XXXX. There machine was down so the clerk told me that to buy an entry pass I needed to scan a XXXX code for an app called XXXX and pay for the daily pass. One of the benefits of the Chase Sapphire card is a priority pass access for you and up to 2 guest. Additional guest you would pay a {$27.00} fee for them to get in. Since I was traveling with my spouse and 2 kids, I was expecting to pay the full rate and get all of it refunded minus a {$27.00} fee for my additional guest. The total came to {$190.00}. On XX/XX/year>, I called Chase bank and spoke with another representative about this charge. She assured me that what I had heard was correct and put in for a one time credit for {$160.00}. A week and a half later, I still had not received a credit and I called back to speak with Chase. I was then told that everything I was told before was not correct and a credit could not be issued. If that was initially told to me, I never wouldve made this charge. I kept asking to escalate the call until I was finally called by XXXX in the XXXX offices. She also told me she wasnt able to credit this amount back even though she admitted to pulling the tapes of my previous phone calls and hearing that I was told that i could. She stated that the problem was the charge was made with LoungeMe and that wasnt a covered lounge. I explained once again that XXXX was an app, not a lounge and I only used that because the XXXX lounges system was down that day. Its over a month later and we still have no resolution in this case. I did make her aware that if Chase did not honor what they told me and credit me back, I would move all of my banking and credit card needs away from Chase.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


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 to be 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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


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


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


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
