Complaint narrative:
Spoke with representative and confirmed account is paid and closed. When ask for proof, was told I would get it mailed and that this will be reported to the Bureau and updated on my credit report. When asked about the late payments being removed, again I am told this will accrue once the Bureau is notified of settled account. Most accounts have been paid and closed for at least 6 months. I also have 6 duplicate accounts open dept of Education with the same account number and information all also stating closed. I have one account open with the correct balance and information.

These account remaining on my credit are hindering my ability to open and gain more credit. This is costing my family hardship as I am limited to receiving approval any additional credit as it currently shows I have 27 accounts on my credit when 18 accounts should have been removed.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of an inaccurately reported charge-off from my consumer credit report, which you have furnished to the credit reporting agencies. This erroneous information has severely damaged my personal and financial reputation, adversely affecting my ability to secure credit for personal and housing purposes. 
Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), as a furnisher of information, you are legally obligated to provide accurate information to consumer reporting agencies. It is unlawful to report information that you know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. The continued reporting of this charge-off, despite its inaccuracy, constitutes a clear violation of federal law. 
Misrepresentation of Debt as Income : According to the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), canceled or forgiven debt is considered taxable income and should be reported as such on tax returns. This is typically documented through Form 1099-C. Income, however, is not to be reported on consumer credit reports. By inaccurately reporting this canceled debt as a charge-off on my credit report, you are misrepresenting income as outstanding debt, which is both misleading and unlawful.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
First, I was a victim of identity theft. Someone used my personal information to open an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and then used this company to create an account at Chase.I will upload this company 's information, the address is not me.I have also reported this company to the IRS. Chase did not properly verify the companys information before opening the account and did not even make a copy of the ID during the review process.What makes me even more furious is that they used this account to link my personal and business accounts. I couldn't see any linked information from my account, but they could see everything about my accounts.Through this linked account, they changed my address and phone number and replaced my debit card.On XX/XX/XXXX, they withdrew money from my bank account using the replaced card.During this period, I did not receive any security alerts or confirmation notifications from Chase Bank.I discovered the issue the next day and reported it to Chase.This claim is under reviewing by the executive office now.The executive office has been very irresponsible with my case. They haven't even properly reviewed all the evidence I provided. Every time I call to inquire about the progress, their attitude is dismissive. They've been focusing solely on my own account and haven't acknowledged that my information was altered through a linked account that doesnt even belong to me.If they had conducted a proper review, they would have noticed that the IP addresses and devices used to log into that account, which doesn't belong to me, are inconsistent with my account. In fact, one is from XXXX and the other from XXXXThe executive office also stated that because the PIN number was correct, they determined it was an action made by me.I have proven that it was not my own operation, but they still don't care.If my personal information can be stolen, why is it impossible for the PIN number to be stolen? For an account that has been used with Chase for over 5 years and has always been in XXXX, but was stolen and used in XXXX, do you really help customers solve these issues, or do you pay more attention to unusual activities and operations? You have been constantly trying to find fault with the customer. trying to shift the responsibility onto the customer.All the information comes from banker and the evidence they can easily find. but the executive office chooses to ignore it.I am very grateful to the banker for helping us gather the materials.But Chase 's claim department is really terrible.

Complaint narrative:
once again, Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Despite my submission of clear and compelling evidence demonstrating the inaccuracy or unverifiability of certain accounts, Experian has neither corrected nor removed the disputed items. This failure has resulted in ongoing harm to my credit standing, directly violating my rights as a consumer under federal law. 

Notably, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic failures in its dispute-handling process, including its failure to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, its acceptance of unreliable responses from data furnishers, and its inadequate notification to consumers regarding dispute outcomes. These allegations align with my personal experience, as Experian has disregarded the evidence I provided and failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required under the FCRA. 

Given these serious legal and regulatory concerns, I am formally requesting immediate corrective action to remove the disputed accounts in compliance with federal law.
