Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to dispute an inaccurately reported charge-off account associated with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX on my Equifax credit report. The creditor has failed to substantiate or validate this charge-off in compliance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. : The FCRA requires creditors to report accurate and verifiable information. The reporting of this charge-off account lacks adequate substantiation, as no documentation proving the validity of the debt has been provided.

Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 6050P : When an account is deemed uncollectible and charged off, the creditor is obligated to issue a 1099-C form for cancellation of debt if the forgiven amount meets the reporting threshold. In this case, no 1099-C form has been issued, which raises doubts about the legitimacy of the charge-off.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Guidelines : Under CFPB rules, creditors are required to ensure fair, accurate, and substantiated credit reporting practices. Reporting this account as a charge-off without proof of its validity may constitute an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, 12 U.S.C. 5531.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a no-fee checking account with Chase in early 2022. I had all incoming monthly income deposited automatically. Last month I realized Chase had been charging me {$25.00} per month for this checking account. The payments were not identified as being from Chase. It is outrageous that ( a ) I have been paying these fees and ( b ) that they were deducted without my permission. Chase stopped deducting the fees when I complained but refunded me only {$25.00}! I need to find out exactly how many times they deducted these fees but they acknowledged it has been going on for a long time.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a money order from Chase bank on XX/XX/year> to mail to a vendor for my mother 's XXXX birthday party. XXXX weeks passed and the vendor stated that they had not received the funds. I went to the Chase branch where I originally purchased the money order from and the branch XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) tracked the money order and informed me that it was deposited into another Chase account. They provided me a copy of the money order and I immediately informed them that the money order had been altered. After some investigation by the branch manger he informed me that the money order had been " washed '' and altered. I provided the branch XXXX with a picture of the original money order I took before mailing it out and he determined that someone had removed the ink on the money order I sent and then deposited it into their own Chase account. 
I went through the necessary steps with Chase to get my funds refunded back to me ( filed a fraud claim, signed a Declaration of Unauthorized Endorsement form ) and have been calling and emailing Chase for XXXX XXXX XXXX. My funds still have not been returned to me and Chase has failed to contact me. They are giving me the run around and not taking responsibility for allowing someone to deposit an alerted money order. In addition they will not refund me my money.
