Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to American Expresss refusal to provide appropriate protection in a dispute involving a clearly fraudulent merchant. Despite presenting extensive evidence that I never received the items I paid for, and that the merchant used falsified tracking information, American Express has denied my claim and is still holding me responsible for the charge. 

The dispute concerns a transaction with XXXX, a deceptive online retailer that submitted a fraudulent tracking document to American Express. The tracking shows a supposed delivery through a shipping company called XXXX name that is not affiliated with any legitimate XXXX shipping XXXX. The merchant used XXXX, a public tracking aggregator that does not verify the legitimacy of the shipping provider or the delivery. 

The tracking number provided by the merchant : Does not include my full address or name. 
Lists only a general location ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX  ) with no confirmation of delivery, no zip code, no signature, and no proof that any package was ever delivered to my home. 
Can not be verified on any official XXXX XXXX website ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. ). 

I have gone above and beyond to prove this is a fraudulent transaction : I provided evidence showing the merchants address and phone number are fake. 
I submitted screenshots of multiple outreach attempts to the merchant, all of which went ignored. 
I documented consumer warnings about this website from the BXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and other consumer protection sites. 
I began reviewing security footage from my home on the date of the claimed delivery to confirm no package was delivered. 

Despite this overwhelming documentation, American Express has taken the merchants false tracking information at face valuewithout validating the shipping provider or requiring proof of actual delivery to my address. As a result, I am being forced to pay for goods I never received, from a merchant that is clearly operating under deceptive and possibly criminal intent. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate American Expresss failure to properly investigate this dispute, and hold them accountable for their lack of due diligence in allowing fraudulent documentation to outweigh legitimate consumer protection. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
There are late payment remarks on my credit report that are entirely inaccurate and misleading. Many of these accounts show a {$0.00} balance and no past due amountso how can they be marked late? These notations are unfairly harming my score, despite my history of maintaining financial obligations.

Under the FCRA, no account may be reported as delinquent unless it can be backed by verifiable proof, including original signed documentation. If no such proof exists, these remarks must be deleted immediately. Most of these items have already been corrected or removed by other major bureaus due to lack of verifiable evidence, raising concerns about why they remain. 

The following late payment items are disputed and must be thoroughly reverified or deleted immediately : Late Payment XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am demanding the immediate removal of the unauthorized transactions and inaccurate information appearing on my credit report. These errors are a direct result of a data breach that compromised my personal and financial informationa situation entirely outside of my control. Despite my efforts to rectify these issues, I continue to suffer the consequences of reporting failures that should have been addressed long ago. 

The fact that these inaccurate and unauthorized entries remain on my report, despite clear indications that my personal data was compromised, is completely unacceptable. This reckless mishandling of my information is damaging my creditworthiness, jeopardizing my financial stability, and blocking me from important opportunities. I will not tolerate this negligence any longer. 

I demand that you immediately investigate and permanently remove these erroneous entries. Any delay, inaction, or refusal to comply will be treated as a blatant violation of my consumer rights, and I will pursue all legal avenues available under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and any other applicable laws to hold your company accountable.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding my XXXX credit card account, which is managed by Synchrony Bank. In XXXX, I enrolled in a 24-month promotional financing plan for a {$6600.00} air conditioner purchase. I consistently made regular payments, and by XX/XX/XXXX, I had only {$880.00} remaining. 

I was not clearly or adequately warned that failure to pay the remaining balance in full by the promotional deadline would trigger nearly {$3000.00} in retroactive interest charges. This was followed by ongoing monthly interest of {$30.00} {$70.00}. I received no prominent alerts, reminders, or urgent notices in the months leading up to the deadline. 

This is not simply a consumer oversight it reflects a systematic failure in transparency. Retroactive interest of this scale, imposed over a relatively small balance, is disproportionate, unfair, and exploitative. The practice appears to be designed in such a way that many consumers may fall into this trap, especially if disclosures are not clearly presented or effectively communicated.

I am requesting not only remediation of the charges, but also a regulatory review of Synchrony Banks promotional financing policies and disclosure practices. This situation has already cost me nearly {$4000.00} in unexpected interest a financial burden I would not have incurred with proper notice. 

Please help ensure fair treatment and clearer protections for consumers who participate in promotional financing programs.

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday, XX/XX/year>, I had a scheduled appointment at XXXX XXXX  with a representative named XXXX at the Chase Bank branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. The purpose of the appointment was to open a new business checking account. From the outset, XXXX demonstrated a clear lack of professionalism. She did not greet me when I entered or acknowledge my " Good morning, '' which immediately set an unwelcoming tone. 

Throughout the interaction, it became evident that XXXX XXXX was not only unwilling to assist but also lacked the necessary communication skills to conduct the appointment effectively. Her difficulty with the English language made it hard to understand the questions being asked. For example, she asked for my address without clarifying whether she meant my personal address or the business address. When I provided my personal address ( which is in XXXX  XXXX  ), she incorrectly stated that the business account could not be opened because the business is not registered in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

This is a clear misinterpretation of business banking requirements. My business operates in XXXX XXXX and XXXX, and I have previously opened business accounts at this very branch under similar circumstances without any issues. XXXX escalated the matter to an on-site manager, who was equally misinformed and insisteddespite multiple clarificationsthat the business must be registered in XXXX XXXX XXXXn order to open an account. This is categorically false and reflects a concerning lack of training and understanding among staff at this location. 

Due to this frustrating and unproductive experience, I am now considering closing my XXXX existing XXXX accounts ( XXXX business and XXXX personal ) and moving my banking relationship to XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I am submitting this complaint to formally document the poor service, misinformation, and unprofessional conduct I experienced. I expect corrective action to be taken, including proper staff training on business banking policies and basic customer service expectations.

My account was closed unexpectedly despite consistent on-time payments via autopay. The notification cited insufficient card usage, a criterion unclear to me.
