Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as my final and definitive communication to your noncompliant organization before I initiate legal proceedings against all responsible parties. Let me remind you that threatening legal action without intent to follow through constitutes a serious offense. Rest assured, I fully intend to protect my rights as a consumer and will proceed accordingly if this matter is not resolved promptly.

I have repeatedly contacted your company, submitting numerous formal requests for an investigation into a series of inquiries that I firmly believe have been reported erroneously. Your continued failure to respond or take action constitutes a blatant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This negligence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

However, in the interest of resolving this matter without escalating to litigation, I am providing one final opportunity to address my concerns. Below, I have listed the inquiries in question, which require immediate and thorough investigation in accordance with the provisions of the FCRA : I have made several attempts to directly contact the companies responsible for these inquiries using the contact information listed on my credit report. However, my efforts have been met with the following obstacles : A significant number of the listed phone numbers are incorrect or invalid.

For the companies I was able to reach, none have any record of my existence within their systems.

If these entities lack records of me, it raises a critical question : What permissible business purpose could they possibly have to access my credit file?

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again to follow up on my previous disputes regarding the inaccuracies in my personal information appearing on my credit report. My initial dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive confirmation that my concerns have been addressed or that any corrective action has been taken. Additionally, I sent a follow-up letter on XXXX, XXXX, but I still have not received a response. To reiterate, my correct and up-to-date personal information is : Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Social Security Number : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX In my initial dispute, I provided supporting documentation, including a copy of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and my Social Security card, to validate my identity and substantiate my claim. However, the inaccurate addresses remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are legally required to investigate disputes and correct any inaccurate information within the mandated timeframe. Your continued failure to address this matter not only violates my rights but also raises concerns regarding compliance with federal law.

I am formally requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of the erroneous addresses from my credit report.

An updated credit report reflecting the corrected information.

Written confirmation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request assistance regarding a {$500.00} loss due to a scam involving a XXXX payment sent through my Chase bank account on XX/XX/year>. 

On that date, I sent a {$500.00} deposit for a used car purchase to someone I believed was legitimate. Shortly after, the seller requested an additional {$500.00}, which I canceled after becoming suspicious. I promptly contacted Chase customer service, requesting that they investigate the transaction and cancel the second XXXX payment to prevent further loss. Despite this, the first {$500.00} payment was processed and has not been reimbursed. 

Chase opened a fraud recovery case but recently informed me that no further action would be taken and that they can not reimburse my {$500.00} loss. This has been extremely distressing, as I acted quickly, responsibly, and provided full documentation of the fraud. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus assistance in asking Chase to reconsider my case as a one-time goodwill reimbursement, as I am a first-time victim who took all appropriate steps to prevent further loss. 

Thank you for your attention and help.
