Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Late Payments on XXXX Mortgage Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of late payments on my XXXX mortgage account, reported by Equifax. I previously filed a dispute regarding these discrepancies, yet no corrections have been made to reflect the accurate payment history. This letter serves as a second dispute request, and I am asking for a full investigation in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as per 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a thorough investigation upon receiving a consumer dispute.

Summary of Discrepancies Upon reviewing my payment records, I found no late payments on this account, yet each bureau reports different late payment dates : XXXX and XXXX report late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, as well as XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 
Equifax shows XXXX late payments in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 
These discrepancies violate the FCRAs accuracy requirement and negatively impact my credit score. Therefore, I request a full investigation of these entries and a correction to accurately reflect a Paid As Agreed Never Late status.

Request for Documentation and Investigation Process Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), I request a detailed description of the investigation process your agency conducted for this dispute, as required by the FCRA. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), I request that all transactional information regarding this account be reviewed for accuracy.

Furthermore, please provide in writing the procedures in place, as per 15 USC 1666 ( b ), ensuring timely issuance of periodic statements. Should your agency be unable to provide valid evidence of these late payments, I demand that the account be updated to Paid As Agreed Never Late. In the absence of verifiable proof, I expect immediate rectification to maintain the accuracy of my credit report.

Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) Given my record of consistent on-time payments, this account should reflect a Paid As Agreed Never Late status. This correction is essential to accurately represent my commitment to financial responsibility.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a resolution aligned with the legal obligations outlined by the FCRA, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Truth in Lending Act. Please respond within the FCRAs specified 30-day timeframe. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I reported fraudulent transactions totaling over {$5000.00} on my Chase credit card. After their investigation, Chase agreed that the $ XXXX was fraudulent and reversed those charges from my account. However, they are now insisting that I pay an additional {$1000.00}, which includes interest on the previously reversed fraudulent charges. 

Despite my repeated requests, Chase has failed to provide any proof beyond a reasonable doubt that this {$1000.00} debt is valid. They initially assured me they would contact credit agencies to remove the negative marks from my report but failed to follow through, leaving my credit negatively impacted. This ongoing dispute has lasted for over a year, causing significant emotional and financial distress. 

I originally closed the credit card after the identity theft incident, yet Chase reversed more than {$5000.00} in fraudulent charges after the card was closed. Their handling of this situation has been unethical, as they continue to demand payment for a debt I do not owe. 

I seek justice and resolution in this matter. I refuse to pay for fraudulent transactions, and I want Chase to take full accountability by removing the {$1000.00} debt, along with any associated negative marks on my credit report.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint to EXPERIAN regarding unauthorized inquiries reflected in my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit file, I noticed that several companies have accessed my credit report without my permission. These inquiries were made without my knowledge or consent, and I did not authorize any of these companies to review my credit history. As a result, I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated, specifically the provision that requires a company to have a permissible purpose before accessing my credit information. 

I respectfully request an immediate investigation into these unauthorized inquiries and that the EXPERIAN will remove them from my report. I am also requesting that the companies responsible for these unauthorized inquiries provide documentation showing that they had the required consent or permissible purpose to access my credit file. I trust that your agency will take the necessary steps to address this violation and ensure my credit report is corrected in accordance with the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went into a Bank of America branch office and opened a checking account. After successfully opening a checking account I made and initial deposit of XXXX dollars. I then deposited XXXX checks into my account in the amounts of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX the clerk informed they would be placing a hold on my checks until the XXXX of XXXX. After leaving the bank I discovered my account was already in the negative by XXXX XXXX Trying to give the bank the benefit of the doubt I did not call immediately to rectify this situation. However 48hrs later I still did not have access to my account. I then contacted Bank of America and was informed by their representative that although it says your account is negative, disregard this information and you can still access your funds. Immediately after receiving this information I tried to make a transaction to no avail. It was not until XX/XX/XXXX that I was able to access my funds. I had no access to any money for 6 days. After an underwhelming first experience I received a letter stating that they were delaying the release of my funds an additional 5 days from what I was initially informed until the XXXX of XXXX under the presumption that these checks would be returned. Let me explain that me and my family were affected by a major disaster and all these checks were from FEMA to be used as emergency funds during these hard times. I took it upon myself to contact Bank of America again and was informed by a representative that half of my funds would be released on the XXXX of XXXX. Fast forward to the XXXX of XXXX and my money was still not available. Not only did I not have access to my money but after calling in again I was informed that my account is in the process of being closed. Determined to finally get some answers I made it to the same Bank of America branch where I initially opened my account and spoke with the same representative. At this point I was informed that that the checks were not returned and the money was in my account but that I could not make a withdrawal, transfer funds or even close my account for that matter. The representative said she had no ability to help or any information as to what I should do next or why my account was inaccessible in the first place nor could she find anyone who could give me the answers. The representative contacted the appropriate department to help me with this and the department manager informed the representative that it was nothing they could do either. Today is the XXXX of XXXX I still have not received an update I contact the bank everyday and consistently receive different answers no one is helping with this and my family is suffering because of it.
