Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding a recent fraudulent transaction involving my XXXX XXXX account. My father was deceived by an XXXX seller who requested that the transaction be taken off XXXX. He was selling a camera and was subsequently contacted via an email that falsely claimed to be from XXXX support. This email instructed him to ship the camera with the promise that payment would be deposited into his account once the item was shipped. 

After the camera, valued at {$1100.00}, was delivered to the buyer, the buyer claimed that they no longer wanted the item and offered to return it if an additional {$1700.00} was sent to facilitate the return through XXXX  so-called " processing '' system. Unfortunately, my father, acting in good faith, sent {$1700.00} from my XXXX XXXX account under the assumption that the buyer would return the camera and reimburse him. However, the buyer never returned the camera, nor refunded the payment. As a result, we have lost both the camera and the {$1700.00}. 

This situation constitutes clear fraud, and despite this, neither XXXX XXXX nor Chase Bank have provided reimbursement for the funds lost or offered any assistance in resolving the matter. Enclosed, please find the police report filed in connection with this incident, which should serve as sufficient evidence of the fraudulent activity. 

If this matter is not addressed promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue, including pursuing legal action through a class-action lawsuit against Cash App and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank XXXX 

I appreciate your immediate attention to this serious matter and look forward to a swift resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Apple Card support regarding the incorrect reporting of my account.

XX/XX/year> contacted XXXX XXXX Capitol One to find out account number so I could pay if off with balance transfer. They have my account restricted as my boyfriend ( at that time ) tried paying it off and they want info from his bank. My boyfriend has since broken up with me and cut off all ties, I can not get ahold of him. I have been making all my payments but they have my account locked. 
They are charging me 30 % interest and I called them about doing a balance transfer to pay it off and they won't allow that. 
I don't know what to do, I will never be able to pay off the balance of {$4700.00} with that kind of interest. Why won't they allow a balance transfer of a card in my name. I feel like they are just taking advantage of me
