Complaint narrative:
I recently gained access to my credit report and seen some inaccurate items and information. These errors have caused me great financial distress and im demanding proof of documentation showing permission consent with signature. Please help me in removing deleting these fraudulent fraudulent inquiries off of my report : CXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> 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. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I've had to claim opened with the Chase credit card department for months now. Every time I call I get a new explanation of the status. I submitted more than enough actual evidence supporting my claim and just found out today that my claim was actually filed with the wrong XXXX code number and the merchant challenge the dispute and won because Chase input the wrong chargeback code information. I spoke with them today and one person said the claim can be reopened and then the supervisor said there's nothing they can do at all and was extremely rude on the phone. This department does not know what they are doing as they give so much mixed information.
