Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
FTC Report Number : XXXX Account Ending in : XXXX Type of Account applied for : Chase Freedom Application submitted by : Internet Date application : XX/XX/XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX XXXX credit card company ( BEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD ) informed me that there has been a hard credit check on my name. Thats how I discovered that CHASE has approved a fraudulent credit card application without any kind of due diligence. 

I have received a letter from CHASE Fraud Department ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ), which only show how easily they give out these credit cards. Most of the applicant data was wrong or expired almost XXXX years ago : 1 ) Name was wrong, since I have remarried in XXXX and registered my SS # under my new surname. 
2 ) Address was wrong, since I moved out on XXXX. 
3 ) Mothers maiden name was wrong. 
4 ) Email address expired in XXXX. 

Yes, the criminals had my correct cellphone, SS # and birthday, but all above was wrong in their application. 

I was trying to call CHASE Fraud Department and they returned my phone call, but they have no other detailed information or explanation, why they did approve this credit card application when clearly MOST OF THE APPLICANT DETAILS ARE WRONG in this fraudulent application. 

CHASE didn't conduct any due diligence to check any of the applicant data. This credit card approval seems to be AN INSIDE JOB, and CHASE must find out who in their organization is guilty for this kind of criminal act.
