Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I saw on my credit card via computer login on XX/XX/year> that there was a charge for XXXX charged to my card from a XXXX XXXX purchase that I did not make. I called Chase and reported that there was a fraudulent charge on my card. The person looked at it and stated they would close my card out and issue me a new one and take the charge off which they did. Now today two months and 5 days after the issue I received a call from the fraud department stating they are reopening the case against me. I informed them again that I did not make the purchase and I had called XXXX right after it happened and XXXX told me the items were shipped to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The person at XXXX said the package had not been delivered yet and they were going to stop the delivery. That was the last I heard until today. I asked for a supervisor and he told me they were going to charge me for the purchase and he did not seem to care that I did not make the purchase and that I called XXXX. Now tonight I see they have put the charge back on my card for the XXXX. I got nowhere talking to the man about this. I am at a loss as to what to do but I did not make the purchase and I believe from what I read they have to prove I made the purchase and they are not doing that.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Aldous Associates, a debt collection agency, for reporting a fraudulent account on my credit report. I am a victim of identity theft, and despite notifying the relevant parties, Aldous Associates has erroneously included an account that I did not open or authorize. 

The details of the fraudulent account are as follows : Account Number : They Refused to Provide and its not listed on my consumer report Amount : {$560.00} Reported by : Aldous Associates I have previously informed Aldous Associates of the fraudulent nature of this account and provided evidence of my identity theft. Despite these notifications, they have failed to rectify the situation, and the fraudulent account remains on my credit report. 

It is illegal for debt collectors to report accounts that are fraudulent or not verified. The continued reporting of this account not only affects my credit score but also causes undue stress and potential financial harm. I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure the following actions are taken : Immediate removal of the fraudulent account from my credit report. 
Compensation for any damages or inconveniences caused by the wrongful reporting. 
Confirmation of the steps taken to address this issue. 
Enclosed with this letter are relevant documentation supporting my claim of identity theft. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to resolve this matter swiftly. Please confirm receipt of this letter and inform me of any additional steps required from my end. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Inaccurate Information under FCRA Compliance I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate information from my credit report, as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that all information reported must be accurate. In particular XXXX XXXX. This entity, XXXX XXXX must be reported as disputed due to FCRA violation until its resolved by being removed from all three credit reporting agencies. 

As of XX/XX/year>, I initiated disputes regarding several items that continue to negatively impact my credit. Despite my efforts, the inaccuracies remain, and I seek your immediate attention to correct them. 

XXXX. Discrepancies in Verified Information : All three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX ) claim to have verified information with XXXX XXXX, yet each agency has concluded different amounts that I allegedly owe. This inconsistency directly violates the FCRAs requirement for accuracy. If the information were truly verified, the amounts would be uniform across all reports. 

XXXX. Misreporting of Alleged Debt : The alleged debt from XXXX XXXX is reported as a write-off, indicating that the IRS has already credited this entity for the debt. This raises further questions about the legitimacy and accuracy of the debt being reported on my credit report. 

XXXX. Inaccurate Personal Information : My name and address are inaccurately reported across the credit agencies. I have only one name and one address : - Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Address : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has inaccurately reported my name as " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' on XX/XX/year>. After filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), XXXX then reported my name as " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' as of XX/XX/year>, but still did not address my disputed items. Recently, XXXX requested verification of my address by asking for a light bill, which further complicates the process and delays the correction of inaccuracies. 

The bottom line is that these XXXX agencies are required to report accurate information about me, and they have failed to do so as per the FCRA. Therefore, I formally request the permanent removal of the XXXX XXXX entry from all three of my credit reports with XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. 

Please ensure that my name is correctly listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX and that my address is accurately reported as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a resolution. I look forward to your confirmation of the corrections. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
