Furthermore, all this was discussed with XXXX XXXX via telephone on XX/XX/XXXX, and I stated at that time that I can prove with a driver 's license, current rental agreement, and job verification that I was not living at that address. Job offer stating the start date in XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, is attached as proof that I was not at this address. I am still with this employer if further job verification is needed and the division manager on the offer letter is still my current division manager who can confirm all location information. I am happy to send my driver 's license, current rental agreement, current electric provider, all with start dates, on a more secure link.

State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
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:
On XX/XX/year>, I disputed a debt reported by Portfolio Recovery Associates ( PRA ). I requested complete and legally required debt validation documentation, including the original signed credit agreement, detailed account statements, and proof of proper assignment showing PRAs ownership of this debt. PRA responded on XX/XX/year>, acknowledging my dispute but failed to provide any of the required validation documentation. Despite this failure, PRA continues reporting this unverified debt to the credit bureaus. This violates my consumer rights under FDCPA 809 and FCRA guidelines. I'm requesting immediate deletion of this account from all credit bureaus.

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!

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I used my Chase credit card via XXXX XXXX to make a small {$5.00} candy purchase at a local deli. However, I was charged {$500.00} instead. I was not shown or informed of the {$500.00} charge before it was processed, and I did not authorize or approve that amount. 

I immediately locked my Chase card that same day through the app to prevent further misuse. I have attached a PDF email from Chase confirming the card was locked on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to a Chase branch to report the issue. Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from a Chase representative named XXXX, who told me they couldnt dispute the transaction because I didnt have proof. I had a bad experience during this call I wasnt given any real options or a clear path forward. 

After that call, I called XXXX myself. I spoke to a different representative who was more understanding. He listened to my full explanation, said he added notes to my account, and told me to wait 15 business days for the dispute process. 

The charge shows up under XXXX, categorized as an Apparel and accessory store, which doesnt match a {$5.00} candy purchase at a deli. This suggests either a fraudulent transaction or a misrepresented charge. 

I am requesting a full investigation and reversal of the {$500.00} charge. I should not be penalized or delayed due to Chases internal confusion or lack of a clear dispute process.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.
