Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Chase Credit Card Application Mishandled Repeated Fraud Accusations, No Resolution, and Credit Impact I applied for a Chase Freedom credit card and received my first denial letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, citing suspected fraud. I was given a phone number to verify my identity. What followed was over a month of repeated calls, unkept promises, failed verifications, and no resolution, despite Chase acknowledging I was the applicant. 
Key issues : Ive received three denial letters ( XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) all citing " suspected fraud '' despite verifying my identity on multiple calls. 
In early XXXX, I was told a verification code would be sent. It never was. Agents repeatedly failed to follow through or call back. 
On multiple calls, I was asked security questions and told my identity was verified, and that my application would be expedited. Yet, I continued to receive identical rejection letters sometimes dated the same day I was told it would be escalated, showing they did nothing. 
A supervisor refused to help and told me to call back during fraud department hours, even after I explained the full situation. 
When I finally reached a helpful representative in late XXXX, she reopened my application and said Id receive a link to upload documentation ( ID/address ) but the link never arrived. 
When I called back today, I was told again that they could not verify my identity and that I now must go in-person to a Chase branch , over a month after my initial application. 
As a result of this mismanaged process : I now have a hard inquiry on my credit report with no valid review of my application. 
Chase has given contradictory information from one agent to the next. 
Ive wasted hours on calls, only to be caught in a loop with no accountability. 
I am requesting : A full manual review of my application. 
A written explanation of why my identity could not be verified despite passing security checks. 
Removal of the hard inquiry from my credit report, as this process was unfair and unresolved. 
This experience has caused me significant distress and has damaged my trust in Chases application and fraud handling process.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One is reporting an account ( # XXXX ) as a charge-off in the amount of {$3600.00} on my credit file. 

I have formally disputed this account multiple times and submitted supporting documentation, including [ list : police report, FTC affidavit, prior disputes, etc. ]. Despite this, Capital One continues to furnish the charge-off tradeline to the credit bureaus without providing proper documentation or conducting a reasonable reinvestigation as required under FCRA 1681i. 

Capital One has not produced : the original signed account agreement, complete payment history, accounting records showing how the alleged balance was calculated, proof that the account is legally valid and within the statute of limitations, or evidence authorizing continued reporting after charge-off. 

Instead, they have continued to report the charge-off without verifying accuracy. This constitutes a violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681s-2 ( a ), and 1681s-2 ( b ) furnishing inaccurate or unverifiable information and failing to properly investigate consumer disputes. 

This inaccurate reporting is causing significant harm to my creditworthiness.

Complaint narrative:
When apartment complexs run a background check, my criminal record shows that I have a felony. That is incorrect because I was only convicted of a violation. My attorney has provided a letter and the document from the judge showing that the felonies were dismissed. One of the companies, such as Resident Verify, said I was denied because of my criminal record. I would like this to get corrected so that I can have a proper decision made by the apartments I apply to.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding fraudulent accounts that have been reported on my credit file. These accounts were not opened by me, and I have never authorized any transactions associated with them. They are clearly cases of identity theft. 
Despite disputing these accounts directly with the lenders and collection agencies, they have refused to remove the fraudulent entries.

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, which requires that : 1. All information reported to consumer reporting agencies must be accurate and verifiable.

2. Consumer reporting agencies must investigate disputes within 30 days of receiving notice from a consumer regarding inaccurate information.

3. Any information that can not be verified as accurate must be removed from the credit report.

I demand that the CFPB investigate this matter, compel the reporting agencies to remove all fraudulent accounts immediately, and prevent them from further damaging my credit. 

I am prepared to provide any supporting documentation required to verify this claim, including police reports or other relevant evidence, upon request.
