Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter to the court house asking if they reported my bankruptcy to the credit bureaus. I received a letter stating that they do not report bankruptcies to any entities. If that is indeed true how is it that the credit bureaus verified the bankruptcy action as 100 % accurate. The bureaus did not complete a fair investigation according to the Credit Report Act 15 U.S. Code 1681.

15 U.S.C. 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) states : The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

The credit bureaus also violated my rights given under Credit Report Act 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 ( A ) ( 4 ). According to this law I have a right to privacy. 

Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

According to 15 U.S.C. 181 Section 604 A Section 2 also states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to beliefve that the information is inaccurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I filed a complaint with the CFPB against Equifax for using personal information without written consent. I advised Equifax that they violated XXXX5 USC 1681 b ( a ) ( 2 ). On August 3, 2022, I learned Equifax has misused my personal information. Equifax has caused intentional harm to me by providing false and inaccurate information to lenders in response to a credit extension request. I am filing this complaint to DEMAND Equifax terminate the usage of my personal information and any information pertaining to me ; name, social security number, birthdate i.e. without written consent from myself. At this time Equifax has in their possession zero written consent and zero affidavits from me to permit furnishing, distributing, or selling any information on my behalf. I have given zero consent to mishandle any information given to Equifax by any party. Harm has now been done to me because my information was illegally and unlawfully misused. I seek the amount of {$550000.00} ; or what is ordered as the highest payout from any judgment against Equifax concerning issuing wrong credit scores or issuing misinformation to lenders, as a remedy.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a new chase account after dealing with an incredible hardship last year. I had been with Chase prior to this for 12 years. I was in a scam marriage and had to end up filing bankruptcy. I recently called chase to find out if I was eligible to reopen. Someone from the charge off department and the banker themselves told me I was able to so I opened one. They walked me through how to perform an external transfer which I did. Now {$4800.00} is in that account, and as soon as the transfer went through, they restricted everything on my account and said they decided to close it. I have {$4.00} to my name. Rent was due XX/XX/XXXX. I have late penalties, and it could be 14 days or longer to close my account and then they have to mail me a check. I will have incurred XXXX in late penalties and a negative impact on my credit report saying I missed a payment which I have never done with rent. They can take their time on closing it and getting my check which is truly scary. When I call in they keep me on hold for 30 mins to 1 hour. Or they answer and sit in silence for a long time until I finally hang up. They also hang up regularly on me and refuse to tell me anything about what happened to my account. My roommates money is also in there that she paid for rent. I do not know where to go from here but this is not a good situation. I have XXXX locked away that I can not access until they decide an appropriate time to send my money to me has passed. Meanwhile I live in LA, have XXXX dollars to my name and have not paid rent. I trusted them when they told me exactly what to do to get the account up and running and now I am left at the will of a bank. It seems shady they told me what to do to send all my money over only to lock me out of my account and leave me XXXX. I need this resolved ASAP because I can't afford XXXX a week in late penalties when I have XXXX dollars in my name. I have also not paid my electric or car payment.
