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: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I purchased a cockatiel and related supplies from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a total of {$730.00}, charged to my Chase credit card. The bird was represented as a hand-fed, special-quality cockatiel, but after bringing it home, I discovered that it was a common standard variety priced far above market value and displayed neurotic behavior that made it difficult to handle. I contacted the merchant to request a refund, offering to return the bird and all items in good health. 
The merchant, XXXX XXXX, initially claimed he would offer a partial refund but later refused entirely after I filed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX complaint. He then made false and retaliatory public statements, including accusing me of holding stolen property. He also lied about being willing to take back the bird. 
I filed a billing dispute with Chase Bank soon after the purchase, submitting a detailed explanation of misrepresentation. However, Chase representatives repeatedly told me that no documentation was required from my side. After approximately XXXX months of waiting, I was notified that XXXX had denied my claim and closed the case without ever reviewing my supporting evidence. 
This process was procedurally unfair and violates the intent of the Fair Credit Billing Act, which requires that both parties have a reasonable opportunity to present information. I was not given that opportunity. 

Evidence available upon request : Email correspondence showing the merchants refusal to honor a refund. 
Proof of payment ( {$730.00} total, charged XX/XX/year> ). 
XXXX complaint and merchants defamatory response. 
Notes and dates from all calls with Chase Banks dispute department.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

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

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that my EXPERIAN XXXX XXXX is not appearing on my credit report. Despite checking multiple times and submitting disputes, EXPERIAN has failed to provide my score as required. This omission prevents me from monitoring my credit standing, comparing it with other bureaus, and ensuring accuracy across my reports. I have already submitted disputes and requests for correction, but no action has been taken. 

This is harming my ability to evaluate my creditworthiness and is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to provide complete and accurate information.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Makes Cents, Inc. dba Advance.Cash
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am a Pennsylvania resident who obtained a {$1000.00} installment loan from Advance.Cash. After making several payments, I discovered that the interest rate being charged was over 40 %, which is far above Pennsylvanias legal lending limit of 24 % under the Consumer Discount Company Act ( CDCA ). 

I have confirmed that Advance.Cash is not licensed to lend in Pennsylvania through the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Therefore, this loan should be considered void and unenforceable under Pennsylvania law.

Advance.Cash responded to my previous CFPB complaint by stating they are a tribal lender under the XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and therefore exempt from state regulation. However, Pennsylvania law and multiple court rulings make clear that tribal affiliation does not exempt a lender from state interest rate caps or licensing requirements when making loans to residents of Pennsylvania. 

My loan has since been charged off, but I want to ensure that : All collection activity stops, The loan is not reported to credit bureaus, and I receive a refund of any payments made above the principal amount. 

I am requesting that this complaint be reviewed as a case of illegal or unlicensed lending, not merely a payment or withdrawal issue.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I was enrolled in an Income-Driven Repayment ( IDR ) plan, specifically the SAVE plan. I never requested forbearance, but my servicer ( Advantage Aid ) placed all of my federal student loans into Administrative Forbearance without my knowledge or consent.

I attempted to make payments manually and even opted into Auto Pay again, but the system showed {$0.00} due, and the payments would not process. My loans remained in forbearance without any action on my part. I contacted the servicer to understand why this happened and how to reverse it, but I received no clear answers or resolution.

As a result, I was blocked from making progress toward forgiveness under the IDR plan. This has also negatively affected my credit all my loans are reported as being in deferment or forbearance, and my credit score has been stuck under XXXX. I have not missed any payments intentionally, and Ive been trying to stay current. 

To make matters worse, my repayment start date now shows XX/XX/XXXX even though I never requested this delay. I have documents and screenshots showing that I was not the one who placed the loans into forbearance. 

I am requesting that the forbearance be removed, my payment history be restored, and that I be allowed to continue my repayment under the IDR plan without further delay or credit damage.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 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 30 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.
