Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2020 I contacted the three main credit bureaus and the individual debt collectors about debts that are on my credit report that I am not familiar with.

The three credit bureaus responded that these accounts were verified, but could not tell me how they were verified or what information and documentation was provided to them to verify these negative accounts. 

In XXXX of 2020, I contacted each debt collector directly via letters that were sent by USPS and by phone. None have sent any documentation showing that these are my accounts. I have only been provided with an account statement showing a debt. 

Because of all the fraud that has taken place throughout the world I am asking for documentation showing these debts are mine. Not an account statement. If these are indeed mine, they should be able to provide me with this information. 

After contacting my attorney, in order to move forward with a lawsuit - I will be sending another letter via Certified Mail to each company involved. If these accounts aren't removed or original documentation provided we will move forward with our legal process.

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: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020, while traveling oversea in XXXX, I got pickpocketed and lost my Chase Sapphire Reserve card. {$2600.00} was immediately spend on my account and luckily I discovered the fraud and reported the card was stolen the same night. Without any question from Chases dispute department, the amount {$2600.00} was removed from the statement and I was sent a new card. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/2020, I saw the previous disputed fraud charge {$2600.00} reappeared on my account without any notifications ( ie. mail, email, phone call ). I logged onto the Chase site and tried to dispute it on the site but it says I have to call XXXX to complete the dispute. 

I called the number and Chases dispute service responded this dispute is not within their responsibility, I need to reach XXXX. The fraud recovery department no longer accepts phone call and email is the only way during this time. So far I have emailed XXXX twice and still no response from them. On top of that, I have called Chases credit card customer service and dispute department on average once a day, total 4 times. They all told me the same response. Theres nothing they can do without fraud recovery department but the fraud recovery department has not responded to me at all. 

Im very frustrated on this how Chase Sapphire Reserve treats their customer. No alert and no notification to just put the fraud charge back on the bank statement. At the same time, Chase 's fraud recovery department makes it impossible to reach for help. 

Im willing to do anything to help Chase fraud recovery department to work on disputing this charge but they are making it impossible to reach and to get help from.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I had a credit card with Barclays Bank, it was opened in XXXX of XXXX. The account has been delinquent since XXXX. I had attempted to call multiple times within the past couple of years in an attempt to settle this account. During the times I was able to get in touch with a representative, I was either told I would be given a call back about a settlement ( which I never did ), or they said that they no longer had my account ( this is what I was told when I called in XXXX of XXXX, which was also not true ). In XXXX of XXXX, I contacted Barclays again in an attempt to reach a settlement, once again, because my boyfriend and I were pre-approved for a mortgage loan, and our lender said that I needed to settle the account in order to be fully approved for the mortgage loan. Barclays agreed that, out of the total that I owed them ( {$2200.00} ), I could settle with them by paying {$990.00}. I was to make three payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I had to send payment in form of a check to an address they gave me. All three payments were sent in, and all three checks were processed by their bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that I hadn't received any letter stating that the account was officially settled, nor did I see an update on my credit report. I called Barclays that same day, and a customer service representative told me that they never received my XXXX payment, and so my account is still charged off. I told this representative that this is not accurate, that the check was cashed and endorsed by Barclays. The representative asked if I was okay with him calling my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on 3-way so they could confirm that I did, in fact, submit payment. A customer service agent with XXXX  XXXX XXXX confirmed that all three checks were processed, cleared, and endorsed by Barclays Bank. After this was confirmed, the customer service representative was still saying that they could not confirm that I had made this payment. He then transferred me to a supervisor who tried to search for the payment and could not find it. At this point, she said they would open a case in an attempt to locate the payment. She said it would take 25 days to complete this request. Then, when I called back a few weeks later, I was then told it would take 45 days to investigate. I am supposed to have my credit ran again by my lender in XXXX in order to get full approval for my mortgage and to close on my home. I can not understand how all of the checks cleared on my end, and were endorsed and made payable to Barclays Bank, and they received my first two payments, but somehow did not receive the third payment. I have also sent them copies of the checks that were mailed to them, including their endorsement on the back side of each check.

State: OH

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it May Concern : I am writing this letter to notify you of a continuing violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) committed by Chase Card. 

After several acts of disputes and letter submissions made on my end, each attempt proved futile. At times, some of the requests made were not even acknowledged with a response. As I attach some of the articles in this compliant evidencing correspondence that took place, it is unequivocally clear that I never made a refusal to pay, but gave notice that the claims alleged were disputed. Due to their negligence, noncompliance, and refusal to delete UNVERIFIED information from my consumer file, it has cost me tremendously in regards to employment opportunities, residency approvals, loan/credit line approvals, and administrative fees for the dispute process.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is serviced through AmeriHome Mortgage. I applied for and was granted a 90 day forbearance under the CARES Act. The forbearance was to start for my XX/XX/2020 payment and extend through XXXX, with the next payment due XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached a copy of the acceptance letter. They then sent me an invoice which was for the XXXX payment. In that invoice, there was a threatening message about being delinquent on my payment and threatening late fees and negative credit reporting. Both of these are against provisions of the CARES Act. I sent AmeriHome an online message stating my concern and unhappiness about how they word invoices and in general, how they treat their customers. The response was an automated message about applying for a forbearance. I have attached both XXXX and XXXX invoices. The acceptance letter and a printout of the online message. I have since paid both of XXXX 's and XXXX 's payments ( {$6000.00} in total ) because of their poorly worded invoices and threatening messages.
