Complaint narrative:
My complaint is with XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. Along with the collection companies that reported the inaccurate information. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  I have multiple accounts on my credit report showing they have been charged off. I never received a 1099c for the charged off debt to be reported properly to the IRS for any of these accounts. This is a violation of laws placed by congress to protect consumers. If a company charges off a debt as a loss they are required to send me a 1099c to properly file with the IRS. As well as the fact that the IRS states a charge off is considered ordinary income, additionally stated by the IRS income is not to be reported on consumers reports. This makes the reporting of the account INACCURATE. This is also a violation. Furthermore these accounts still show a balance due. Which is again, INACCURATE information and misleading. Since it has been charged off by the company the balance must be XXXX. I called XXXX twice and brought this to their attention and requested that these accounts be removed. As they are required by the FTC to report ACCURATE information. Or they are in violation and can be fined. They did not remove the accounts and only started a dispute. This dispute can take up to 60 days and in the meantime this is negatively effecting my report and life.

Complaint narrative:
I had an injury case settlement with XXXX XXXX and they mailed me a check for my settlement. When I deposited the check at Navy Federal it was incorrectly marked as fradulent and the funds were held. The lawyer and I provided documentation to prove the check and amount were correct but Navy Federal will not release the money and it is past the standard time for holds on amounts. I am in need of these funds for schooling and housing immediately and I believe the bank is not acting honestly to me in this regard and needs to release the money immediately and no longer mark the check as fraudulent or hold my account. I have asked the bank in person, email, and over the phone multiple times and they are not providing timelines or answers of any tangible nature. I believe my money has been taken from me and it needs to be returned now.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I'm transferring a large sum of money to an external account ( XXXX ). I initiated transfers through Chase 's online platform and, thankfully, both transactions flagged for fraud review. The first XXXX transfer was verified with my phone number on file via text. The second one was via a call that I missed. 

I called the number on the back of my card to ensure it was Chase. However, after verifying my identity with the number I called, I was transferred. The sound on the transferred line was scratchy and difficult to hear with background noise. They asked me to repeat a verification number sent to a phone number that I provided. The code came with a specific message : Thank you for calling Chase. Your code is XXXX. Remember : Chase WILL NOT call you or text to ask for this code. 

I asked the representative why they are asking for a code when the specifically states they will not call for it, and why they asked me for a number ( versus one file ). They did not provide an answer but only stated that this was their process. 

They did mention that I can go into a branch to verify the transaction, which is inconvenient, which is what I will do.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/year> the most recent i've sent, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done
