Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had a listing on XXXXXXXX XXXX for a pair of XXXX XXXX boots. Someone reached out to me through XXXX XXXX to see if they were still available. While I had sold them and forgot to update the listing, they asked if I had any other XXXX XXXX shoes. I said yes and they said that they wanted to buy them. We agreed to do the transaction through XXXX. I sent them the email associated with my XXXX account. I received an email that said the buyer had sent the money and to release the money I needed to send confirmation that the item was shipped ( Friday XX/XX/2022 ). Then, I had received an email that said that my XXXX account could not accept the payment because it was over {$100.00} and my account was a personal account, not a business account ( Friday XX/XX/2022 ). To fix this, it said the buyer needed to pay {$400.00} on top of the cost of the shoes and I would have to reimburse them. I sent the money through XXXX ( which I use through Chase Bank ) and then received another email saying that XXXX had an error in their system and it double charged the buyer ( Friday XX/XX/2022 ). I needed to send them another {$400.00} before I could be credited {$810.00} ( it should have been {$910.00} if the math was correct ). XXXX prevents you from sending more than {$500.00} in one day so I waited until the next day ( Saturday XX/XX/2022 ) to send the money. Once I sent the money, I received another email asking for another {$500.00} ( Saturday XX/XX/2022 ). At this point, I had recognized that the email were fraudulent. There was also no evidence of these pending charges on my XXXX account. I contacted Chase on Saturday XX/XX/2022, and they said that since these payments were made through XXXX, they could not be reversed. I was able to place a request for USPS to intercept the package and return it to sender, but I lost {$800.00} and I am a XXXX XXXX I reported the buyer 's XXXX profile and the XXXX XXXX conversation we had.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX - I wrote XXXX  and asked them to validate the debt of {$620.00}. 
I disputed the debt through all three credit bureaus and requested that all details of the debt be verified as accurate, XXXX verified the details of the debt as accurate. 

On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I made a {$300.00} payment to XXXX  to pay down the debt. I requested a settlement amount and they stated I agreed to a schedule, which I never did. 

I reviewed my credit reports and the account is reporting inaccurately. XXXX is stating the original amount is {$320.00} and there is no record of any payments being made. 

XXXX has a responsibility to report the account accurately, per the correspondence they sent me, therefore, I am requesting the account to be deleted per 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX provided false and inaccurate information to Experian causing my credit score to reduce by XXXX points and my credit rating to go from Very Good to Fair on XX/XX/XXXX. I had only 2 % debt and have never been late with any of my credit cards. I disputed the information the first time without any thorough investigation done. I was not able to upload any supporting information to Experian. I was never told that they have a site where documents are uploaded. They concluded the investigation within few days and posted the result. I disputed the collection account again by XX/XX/XXXX and told them I have supporting documents to upload. Surprisingly, the investigation ended the next day with the result posted again even while they knew I was trying to upload some documents. By the time I successfully uploaded the documents, the investigation had already concluded. It was after the fact that Experian told me that their system accepts only pdf or tiff files. I day investigation for false and accurate information is not enough. And not waiting for the documents means that both XXXX and Experian had already made up their minds about the results without any investigation. The two files I wanted to upload will be uploaded here to show that I XXXX sent me a letter of termination dated XX/XX/XXXX, and agreed to it per my affidavit and letter. The second letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, will show that XXXX forged a request for termination and made it appear that I made the request. The letter is fraudulent because I never contacted XXXX between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX.
