Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Citi mistakenly added a {$9200.00} balance on my credit card and has not removed it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment to a merchant called Ingenes in the amount of {$4600.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a second payment to the merchant Ingenes in the amount of {$9200.00}. This was foXXXX XXXX XXXX. I ended up cancelling the service and filed a dispute with Citi. Over the course of three months, Citi investigated my dispute and put conditional credits on my card and then reversed them. I withdrew my dispute for both charges on XX/XX/XXXX, because the merchant refunded me. On XX/XX/XXXX, Citi reversed a second {$9200.00} amount on my card by mistake and now it shows that I owe Citi that {$9200.00}. I confirmed with the merchant that this extra charge did not come from them. I then called Citi and escalated this to a supervisor on XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke to " XXXX '' Reference # XXXX, where I recorded the conversation. Citi admitted to the mistake and said they would remove the charge by XX/XX/XXXX. To this date, Citi has not removed the charge and now my balance is {$9500.00} because of the interest. Citi has not communicated with me or sent a letter to me that they said I would receive. My next bill is due on XX/XX/XXXX, and this needs to be removed so I don't have to make a payment on a balance I do not owe.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Chase Bank regarding an unauthorized transaction dispute that has been mishandled, causing me significant stress and financial concern. 

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Chase to dispute unauthorized transactions on my account ( card ending in XXXX ). Despite my timely filing, Chase later falsely claimed that I had only filed the dispute on XX/XX/year>, which they state is beyond the allowable timeframe for dispute resolution. As a result, they have denied my dispute on incorrect grounds. Calls with Chase were on their recorded line and hence should be verifiable. 

Additionally, Chase required me to contact XXXX regarding these unauthorized transactions on a call with Chase Investigation team. XXXX could not verify that I made the purchases, further supporting my claim that these charges were fraudulent. They clearly stated the account I've on XXXX didn't use this particular card. Call with Chase was on a recorded line and hence should be verifiable. 

Despite my efforts, Chase refuses to acknowledge my original dispute date of XX/XX/year>, and has unjustly declined my claim. Their mishandling of this case has caused me considerable distress, and I request your office 's intervention to ensure that my dispute is properly investigated and resolved in accordance with consumer protection laws. 

I would appreciate your assistance in holding Chase accountable and ensuring that my dispute is given fair consideration. Please let me know how I can proceed with this matter. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this CFPB complaint because I noticed that there was misinformation being reported by a debt collection agency called LVNV Funding/Resurgent. The issue that I am having with this " collections '' agency is that they are deliberately reporting an inaccurate open date stated to be XX/XX/XXXX, when the account was actually stated to be opened on or about XX/XX/XXXX, according to supportive documentation that I have. The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates complete and accurate credit reporting. The misinformation that I have discovered is materially misleading because the collection agency is reporting the date when they acquired the account instead of the true account open date. This matter is a violation of the FDCPA section 1692e.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Request for Immediate Removal of Unverified Charge-Off Account from Credit Report Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally dispute and request the immediate removal of an unverified charge-off account from my credit report. The account in question is : Disputed Account Details : Creditor Name : COMENITYCB/ULTA Account XXXX : XXXX Status : Charged off with a balance of {$1500.00} ( now reporting {$0.00} balance ) On XX/XX/year>, I sent a certified mail request to COMENITYCB/ULTA, requesting a copy of the 1099-C Cancellation of Debt form associated with this account. They have failed to provide this documentation within the legally required 30-day timeframe.

Reason for Immediate Removal : 1. Failure to Provide Required Documentation : The creditor has not supplied a 1099-C form, which would indicate that the debt was canceled and should no longer be reported.

2. Violation of FCRA and FDCPA : Since they did not verify or validate the debt within 30 days of my certified request, continued reporting of this charge-off is unlawful and must be corrected.

3. Failure to Report Correctly : If a 1099-C was issued, the account should be marked as canceled with a {$0.00} balance. If no 1099-C was issued, the reporting of this charge-off as an outstanding balance without proper verification is misleading and unfair.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
