Company: MOHELA
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
Mohela added the incorrect balance to my credit report after verifying the correct balance. I spoke with XXXX XXXX who misrepresented himself as a supervisor, and was unable to help me. I then spoke to XXXX XXXX ( supervisor of customer advocacy ) who stated there's nothing he could do about the balance until they verify it. This is extremely frustrating because I sent a copy of the discharge letter. The customer service I received from both XXXX and XXXX was very upsetting. I definitely regret that XXXX XXXX transferred my loans. Now my credit report is suffering due to this mistake. According to XXXX, it could be incorrectly reporting for 90 days or longer!!!!!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you today to appeal a negative credit report entry that has caused a significant drop in my credit score. The issue at hand is a {$13.00} interest charge that I was not aware of due to travel, which was reported by JP Mogan Chase XXXX Credit Card after I had already paid off the entire $ XXXX balance. 

I strongly believe that this negative entry is unreasonable after making every effort to ensure that I paid off the full balance owed. The fact that this small amount of interest has resulted in such a significant drop in my credit score ( -60! ) is extremely concerning and has the potential to impact my financial future in a significant way. 

I respectfully request that you intervene in this matter and work with JP Morgan Chase Southwest Credit Card to have this negative entry removed from my credit report. I have been a responsible borrower and have worked hard to maintain a good credit history, and I believe that this one-time oversight should not be allowed to have such a negative impact on my creditworthiness and potentially a negative impact on my security level and job suitability. JP Morgan Chase Southwest Credit Card has a strict policy and they are unwavering. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution of this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
