Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

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.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I booked a flight through Chase Travel for {$890.00} using my Chase credit card. Later, I rebooked a different flight using {$460.00} of that travel credit. At no point during the rebooking process was it clearly disclosed that this was a single-use credit or that I would forfeit the remaining {$430.00} if not used in full. If this policy had been clearly stated, I would have made sure to apply the full amount. 

I contacted Chase Travel customer service twice. During the first call, the representative was extremely rude and even asked me if I was able to read, which I found inappropriate and insulting. On my second attempt, I waited over 30 minutes on hold, only to be disconnected without speaking to anyone. I have been unable to resolve this issue despite making every effort to do so. 

I believe this policy was not clearly disclosed at the time of rebooking, and that the forfeiture of funds I paid out of pocket is unfair and misleading. I am requesting that Chase either reinstate the lost {$430.00} in travel credit or issue a refund.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiries listed on my credit report. Despite my previous letter with your bureau, these inquiries remain on my credit file. 
I have taken all necessary steps to address this issue, including contacting the institutions associated with these inquiries and providing comprehensive documentation to substantiate my claims. Despite these efforts, your bureau has yet to resolve this matter satisfactorily. It is essential to note that the nature of these inquiries has been confirmed by the respective institutions, and they have assured me that these inquiries were erroneous and should be removed. Furthermore, other credit bureaus have already acted and removed these unauthorized inquiries from their records. 
Therefore, I am perplexed and concerned by your bureau 's continued reporting of these inquiries. This ongoing issue not only undermines the accuracy of my credit report but also causes significant distress and potential financial harm to me. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your bureau is legally obligated to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation of disputes. This investigation must promptly review all relevant information provided by the consumer, such as myself. I urge you to reinvestigate these inquiries and remove them from my credit report immediately.
