Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, a fraudulent charge for {$370.00} on XXXX was made using my debit card information. Within a few minutes of receiving this alert, I notified Chase of the fraud and they issued a temporary credit of the funds. On XX/XX/XXXX, the {$370.00} credit was removed from my account without any warning. Upon further investigation and reaching out to Chase again, I was informed that XXXX XXXX had deemed the charge to be legit and that I made the purchase. I then requested Chase to send me a copy of the XXXX XXXX report. After receipt of the report via standard mail, I learned that a different email address and phone number were used in the transaction that I have zero association with. The transaction also took place in XXXX, NY and I reside in XXXX NJ. Still, XXXX XXXX felt that I made the purchase. At this point I open a fraud claim with XXXX XXXX. I did not initially contact XXXX XXXX as I knew this was 100 % fraud and that Chase would handle it. After opening my claim with XXXX XXXX, I was told that I would receive an email update, which I never did. After waiting XXXX + days and a couple attempts at speaking with XXXX XXXX customer service to find out when I would receive my email update, I made another call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX to express my concerns. Being I was not permitted to speak directly with the fraud department, I was finally able to ascertain that there was an update made to the report .. to which I was never informed! This update said that the product purchased at best buy.com was picked up at XXXX XXXX store # XXXX in XXXX XXXX, NY and that it was indeed NOT a legit charge made by myself. I asked for a copy of the updated report to which i was told that Chase had to request it. A call to Chase resulted in me being told that they will not request it from XXXX XXXX and that if i was able to provide any documentation proving I did not make this purchase, they would reopen the case. A call back to XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX  on the same day resulted in me being told that they can not send me the report directly and that Chase has to request it. During that call I was able to ascertain the case number which contained the updated notes. Case # XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited my local Chase branch and while they tried their best to help me, even escalating a call to a Chase supervisor, it still left me with : Chase will not reopen the case without physical documentation ( Best Buys case number with updated notes was deemed not enough ), XXXX XXXX will not send me the report directly and Chase will not contact XXXX XXXX anymore regarding this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding Equifax 's violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B and 611, due to their failure to address fraudulent accounts on my credit report despite proper notification and submission of required documentation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed several fraudulent accounts and provided Equifax with all necessary documents, including a valid identity theft affidavit, proof of address, government-issued ID, and evidence linking me to a data breach. However, Equifax failed to block the disputed items within the XXXX business days required by 605B and instead " verified '' the accounts without disclosing the sources or evidence of verification, violating 611 's mandate for a reasonable reinvestigation and transparency. Their actions contravene established precedent, such as Andrews v. TRW Inc. and Menashe v. Bank of New York, which affirm the rights of consumers to accurate reporting and proper investigation of disputes. This pattern of non-compliance with statutory obligations and disregard for the CFPBs XXXX bulletin underscores Equifax 's failure to uphold consumer protections under the FCRA. This issue was previously raised under CFPB Complaint # XXXX and internal Case # XXXX. During a conversation with XXXX XXXX, I was told, We don't remove negative items, as the justification for Equifaxs refusal to remove the fraudulent accounts despite complete documentation.

Company: 21ST MORTGAGE CORP.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a hardship request while I was on medically documented XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX, and 21st Mortgage never responded directly. They falsely marked my CFPB complaint as responded, but I never received their reply by mail or email. 
I also submitted a Qualified Written Request ( QWR ) under RESPA, which they ignored. They continue collection threats and refuse to assist me, seemingly waiting for my account to fall too far behind to recover. This appears to be an intentional strategy to force foreclosure. I am requesting regulatory intervention and a written response to my QWR.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Nelnet reported my student loan account as 90 days past due to the credit bureaus without ever reporting a 30- or 60-day delinquency beforehand. This abrupt jump caused a severe and sudden drop in my credit score. 

I am in the process of bringing the account current and am fully committed to resolving the balance. However, I am requesting that the 90-day delinquency mark be removed or amended. 

I reached out to Nelnet, but they informed me they only consider goodwill adjustments for XXXX military or borrowers in school, and refused to review this reporting.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
