Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: Jon Barry and Associates, Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX  has put a collection on my credit. Ive already submitted a complaint about this. They said they would send out documentation showing consent was given to receive medical attention. They did not send any paperwork showing any details of the amount for any medical services I received with my signature nor did they show that they owned the debt by purchasing it from said medical institution. Furthermore, in my last complaint filed, they said they would remove the information from my credit report because they violated HIPAA and were calling me about my mothers account and my account according to them. I never received any written consent form showing my signatures and they stated that they would remove the negative collection in the last complaint that I filed. Which they did and now theyre calling again over and over and they just placed an open collection back on my credit report. When they call now, I answer, but nobody responds on their end. They just stay quiet and then hang up the phone and now this account has popped back up on my credit report this is a form of harassment with torturous intentions. I now plan on filing a lawsuit against this company for violating my rights and not following FCRA rules and regulations and the laws regarding harassment as this has now become a nightmare having to always expect them to call and I know theyre not gon na say anything when I answer the phone. Its happened six times in the past two weeks.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Experian Violating FCRA Section 605B Failure to Block Fraudulent Items After Identity Theft Report What happened : I am the victim of identity theft. I submitted a valid police report and a signed written statement to Experian per the requirements of FCRA Section 605B. These documents were received by Experian on [ insert date here ]. Despite this, Experian has refused to block the fraudulent accounts from my credit file within the federally mandated 4 business days. 

Experian representatives stated they are " following internal procedures '' that give them up to 30 days to investigate which directly contradicts federal law. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, Experian is required to block information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving valid documentation.

This is a clear violation of federal law, and their refusal is causing continued harm to my credit, my finances, and my mental wellbeing. 

What I want : I request immediate enforcement action by the CFPB compelling Experian to : Permanently block all fraudulent items I have disputed under Section 605B, Provide me written confirmation of this action, Undergo a formal review of their policies and call handling procedures which misrepresent federal law to victims.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity and continued reporting of a collection account listed by Credit Collection Services on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit file in preparation for purchasing a home, I was alarmed to find this collection account still being reported. I previously held an insurance policy with XXXX XXXX, which I canceled in accordance with their procedures. I received written confirmation via email that the cancellation had been processed, and at no time was I notified of any outstanding balance. The first and only notice I received regarding a balance came from my mortgage lender, after they pulled my credit report as part of the loan approval process. This unexpected and erroneous entry has not only jeopardized my ability to close on my home loan, but it has also negatively affected my credit standing. Furthermore, the balance in question has since been paid, and I was advised that the account would be removed from my credit report. Its continued presence is both inaccurate and harmful.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing regarding my credit card benefit claim with Chase on an interrupted trip. A Chase official representative told me it was covered, so I booked my trip, and later my claim was denied and Chase is not answering to my request at all. 

The claim ( number XXXX ) was for the hotel cost on XX/XX/year>, when I was stranded in a snowstorm in Arizona and could not make it to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because every single road was closed. I was stranded on XXXX XXXX for many hours and only made it to the closest city, XXXX, after midnight. My whole trip was booked by Chase credit card. 

When I initially contacted Chase Benefits BEFORE making my booking, I was informed by a representative that I would be covered if I proceeded with reserving the hotel. Relying on this information, I made the reservation. I made the phone calls from my husband 's phone ( number XXXX ), the phone calls were made on XXXX and XXXX. 

Unfortunately, my claim was later denied, which came as a surprise given the prior guidance I received. Their insurance guidelines are not clear at all. I contacted Chase customer service many times, and was told that " sorry that we gave you the wrong information, but that's your problem ''. I do not think that I should be the one who's responsible for this, because I got the confirmation from Chase first to go ahead and book the hotel, and now they are denying my request. 

I formally requested Chase to reopen the case, three times. It has been closed twice again without any formal explanation, and it looks like Chase is not responding to any of my requests anymore. I hope CFPB can help me with this.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
