Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I was just looking over my credit report and found some inaccuracies that I am demanding you correct. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are required by federal law to ensure that all details being reported on an account must be 100 % accurate and verifiable and have my full consent to report. Based 15 USC 6802 I was not given proper information on how to opt out per section 1 ( b ) and ( c ). Therefore, I have already contacted the companies to opt out of any current, prior or future reporting. I am now informing your Company that any unauthorized continued reporting will result in legal action. As the accounts which are listed in this letter are my personal information and you DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION to report any of it. Furthering reporting by your unaffiliated third party company will be a violation and cause a civil and criminal suit. Please remove the items listed in this letter effective immediately. 

The only verified proof that will be accepted in this process will be proof of the proper notifications through a verifiable source of my rights to opt-out of reporting and instructions on how to do so, with a record of receipt showing it was mailed, delivered and received. These are hereby my formal written instructions on what is acceptable as proof and actions to take. No other validation will be accepted. 

Since your company has taken upon itself to act as my entrusted fiduciary. I have provided you with the instructions to act on my behalf as to what serves my best interest. Failure to do so will result in a federal suit to the fullest extent including compensation based on the FRA section 29. 
Here are the inaccuracies I have identified : Account Name : Achieve Personal Loans Account Number : XXXX Reason : Do Not consent to this private personal information to be reported. I am opting out of this account being reported prior, present or future. To continue to report after receiving this is in violation of 15 USC 6802 and I do not consent. 
Also, please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old and add a Promotional Suppression to my credit file. 

The company that I requested the information from claimed that the information disputed had been verified, however I have received no such proof. I ask again that the above information be verified per the means requested.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The Chase Freedom Card provided no clear information about charging foreign transaction fees. I already have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card, which, along with most advertised credit cards today, does not charge foreign transaction fees. 

When I went away on vacation last month, Chase quietly racked up Foreign Transaction Fees on my account, without notifying me. Foreign Transaction Fees are not clearly stated on the website, in any advertising for the card. I get emails and letters constantly from Chase, and text messages, they could have and should have told me my charges overseas were incurring foreign transaction fees. 

ESPECIALLY since I have another chase card! They should have immediately messaged me to tell me that my transactions were incurring fees and that I should consider using my other card. 

These charges occurred between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> totaling {$110.00} When I called Chase after getting home, twice, they were obstinate and refused to overturn the charges or refund me. This is RIDICULOUS. I am charged hundreds of dollars per year for all three of my Chase credit cards. It is ridiculous and unfair to charge foreign transaction fees in addition, stealing money from consumers, when these should be CLEARLY STATED on the website, marketing materials and inside of my chase portal. I should also have received notice and warning about incurring these fees instead of them sneakily ending up on my statement. 

How can you call a credit card a FREEDOM UNLIMITED and then charge foreign transaction fees that most other cards no longer charge?!?! That is insane... it is false marketing. 

I am demanding a refund of {$110.00}, this is plain wrong.
