Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of a federal student loan account from Experian 's credit reporting records, based on an apparent violation of my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ). 
Recent reports confirm that XXXX XXXX so-called Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) gained access to Department of Education systems housing borrower data, including personally identifiable information ( PII ) such as Social Security numbers , income, and citizenship status. Upon review of all relevant System of Records Notices ( SORNs ) and routine use disclosures, I found no mention of DOGE as an authorized party. Therefore, this access appears to be unauthorized and in violation of federal law. 
Under the Privacy Act : Unauthorized disclosure of records without consent or lawful routine use constitutes a violation. 
Individuals have the right to request amendment or removal of information that was accessed or maintained unlawfully.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I lawfully tendered payment to discharge the balance on my Chase credit card account. Despite submitting this payment before the due date ( XX/XX/year> ), and not making any further charges, Chase closed my account and sent a letter on XX/XX/year>, stating there would be no further communication. Yet, on XX/XX/year>, I received a bill for {$48.00}. 

This contradicts both their stated position and my lawful tender. The tendered instrument included proper documentation, was sent via registered mail, and followed due process. I am requesting full cancellation of this improper balance, return of the instrument, and acknowledgment that the account was satisfied per my tender. Chases actions are misleading, improper, and violate lawful discharge.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
