Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
GM Financial is continuing to report a balance on the charged-off account, despite having sold the debt to a collection agency. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), which requires that the original creditor report a {$0.00} balance once the debt is sold.

The charge-off account is being updated monthly on my credit report, inaccurately suggesting ongoing negative activity. This practice is misleading and in violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), which mandates the accurate reporting of account information.

The simultaneous reporting of a charge-off with a balance by GM Financial and a collection account for the same debt constitutes a form of double reporting, which is unfair and misleading.

XXXX : Formal Complaint Against Chase Bank Dear CFPB Hello! 

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Chase Bank regarding an unresolved issue that began in XXXX. 

**Issue Description** : In XXXX, I wrote a check to my friend, who deposited it into his bank account. However, this caused his account to be closed. When my friend went to his bank to inquire about the status of the funds, he was informed that the money had been returned to my bank account. 

In XXXX, I contacted Chase Bank by phone and requested that they file a claim with my friend 's bank to recover the funds, but I never received any follow-up or response. Due to work commitments, I was unable to visit the bank in person to discuss this matter with their staff. 

**Recent Developments** : In XXXX, I finally had time to visit the bank in person. However, the bank staff informed me that it was too late to file a claim due to the amount of time that had passed. I am extremely dissatisfied with this response, as I had initially requested a claim back in XXXX and received no action or communication from the bank. 

**Expected Resolution** : I hope that Chase Bank will take this matter seriously and take appropriate measures to recover the withheld funds or provide another reasonable solution. 

Thank you for your attention and assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely,
