Complaint narrative:
Experian has refused to remove or block information from my credit report that is included in my official identity theft report, in direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 605B. Under this law, consumer reporting agencies must block identity theft-related information within four business days of receiving both the identity theft report and my request. Experians refusal to comply has caused ongoing harm to my creditworthiness and financial standing. I am requesting that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Experian fulfills its legal obligations and permanently removes this fraudulent information.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: OUT TECH, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the collection account your company is reporting under BUR OF ACCT Account ( XXXX ). I do not recognize this account, and I was never notified about it prior to seeing it on my credit report. I have never received any letter, notice, or validation from your agency, no explanation of the alleged debt, no itemized breakdown of the amount, and no proof that you have the legal authority to collect on it. Under Regulation F of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ), I have the right to receive a complete validation notice that includes the name of the original creditor, a full breakdown of the balance, and evidence of your right to collect this debt. You failed to provide any of these. This also violates 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), which requires you to notify me of my right to dispute the debt before reporting it. Additionally, furnishing unverified information to the credit bureaus without my consent violates 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 1681b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am demanding that you immediately provide me with all of the following : ( 1 ) a complete validation notice, ( 2 ) a copy of any signed agreement bearing my signature, ( 3 ) a detailed breakdown of the alleged balance, and ( 4 ) documentation proving your authority to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. If you can not provide these, then the account MUST BE PERMANENTLY DELETED from all consumer reporting agencies. Reporting unverifiable and unauthorized information is harmful, unfair, and illegal. I expect a written response confirming the results of your investigation and immediate removal of this account from my credit file.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I discovered on my own that Chase had closed all of my credit card accounts without providing any prior notice. I immediately contacted their customer service department to understand the situation and attempt to reconcile, but was told there was nothing they could do unless I agreed to a new hard credit inquiry with no guarantee of reinstatement. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid my entire outstanding balances to Chase in full and contacted them again, this time speaking with a supervisor. I explained that I had never missed a payment, was experiencing temporary financial hardship, and that the sudden closure and potential negative credit reporting would severely harm my credit profile and financial stability. I asked if they could reopen the accounts or, at the very least, ensure the reporting would reflect that the accounts were closed while in good standing and paid in full. 
Despite my efforts, I was told that the decision was final and there was nothing they could do. I requested the closure be reported accurately and fairly, and I asked about the copy of the adverse action notice. They claimed it was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX, but as of XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received it. 
Chase refused to offer any resolution, assistance, or reasonable accommodation. I am now seeking assistance to ensure this is reported accurately to the credit bureaus, that my credit is not unfairly harmed, and that Chase is held accountable for failing to notify me properly or act in good faith despite my history of responsible payment and prompt resolution.

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.
