Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
Summary of My Experience with XXXX XXXX and Chase Bank : In XXXX XXXX I purchased a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX, but I never received the product. After a long and exhausting process with their customer service, I finally received a refund. However, a month later, XXXX XXXX charged me again for the exact same amount. When I disputed this charge with my bank, Chase, they denied my claim, stating that it was an authorized charge from my original purchase. 

I am at a loss for where to turn for help. I never made another purchase from XXXX XXXX, yet I was charged again for the same amount after receiving a refund. This has caused my bank account to overdraft, leading to severe financial strain. 

Details : On XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX I purchased a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX for {$4300.00}. The transaction was successful, and I received a tracking number ( XXXX ), with the package scheduled for delivery on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX However, the package was severely damaged during shipping and returned to the sender before it reached me. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX multiple times about this issue, but they repeatedly told me I would be notified via email, with no resolution for over a week. Frustrated, I contacted my bank, Chase, for assistance, fearing I would not receive a refund due to the lack of communication from XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX confirmed that the product had been returned to their warehouse and processed a refund. However, on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX I was shocked to see another charge of {$4300.00} from XXXX XXXX exact amount of my original purchase. Believing this to be fraud, I reported it to Chase as an unauthorized transaction. 

To my disbelief, Chase denied the claim, stating that the charge was authorized, referencing my original XX/XX/XXXX purchase. When I checked the amount, I realized it was identical to the charge for which I had already been refunded. I immediately reached out to both Chase and XXXX XXXX, explaining the situation. Unfortunately, Chase upheld their denial of my claim, and XXXX XXXX pointed me back to the bank. 

Now, I am stuck in a loop, with both parties refusing to take responsibility, leaving me with a severe financial burden. I urgently need assistance from XXXX XXXX, as this situation feels like a case of financial fraud.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you to request a goodwill adjustment for a late payment that is on my account from XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I always make my payments on time and make every effort to fulfill my financial responsibilities, but the past few months have been a hardship for me. At the time of these late payments, I was laid off from my job due to unforescen medical issues, and still made the effort to make my monthly payment although I am still out of work. I say that not to justify why the payment was late, but rather to show that the late payments are not a good indicator of my actual historical creditworthiness. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing these marks from my credit reports. Theyre also old addresses where I use to be resident at that I dont live at anymore I wish to have removed off my credit report. 
I am now trying to lease a car and I am having trouble doing so due to my credit score decreasing due to these late payments.

I understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1631a ( 2 ( Al ), a consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the payment. I also understand that according to federal law 15 U.S. code 1666b ( a ), a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

I am asking that these late payments be removed from my report in response to this letter as a gesture of goodwill. I hope that you will deeply consider my request and prove once again why XXXX is heads above the rest. I look forward to your reply. 

Very Hopefully yours,
