Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Statement of Complaint : Chase Bank XXXX XXXX, Virginia Date of Incident : Wednesday, XX/XX/year> On Wednesday, XX/XX/year>, I visited the Chase Bank branch located in XXXX XXXX, Virginia, to cash a federal tax refund check. Upon presenting the check to the bank teller, I inquired about the expected timeframe for the funds to be made available in my account. I was informed by the teller that the deposit could take up to XXXX business days to clear. 

Given the urgent nature of my financial situationparticularly needing to pay my rent on the same day to avoid late penaltiesI politely requested that the teller return the check so I could attempt to cash it at another financial institution that could process it more quickly. 

However, before handing the check back to me, the teller stamped the back of it, stating that the stamp would indicate to other institutions that the check had not been deposited. I was not informed in advance that this action could make the check unacceptable at other banks. As I soon found out, most banks have a strict policy against cashing checks that bear such stamps, as it violates their endorsement and processing guidelines. 

As a direct result of the check being stamped, I was unable to cash it at any other institution. I visited multiple banks in an attempt to do so, each of which declined to process the check due to the stamp. With no other options left, I was forced to return to Chase XXXX the only institution that would accept the checkand deposit it there, subject to the same 14-business-day hold. 

This situation has caused significant and immediate hardship. I was unable to pay my rent on time, resulting in a late fee and potential consequences with my housing. Additionally, I could not afford gasoline for my vehicle or food for the day. I rely on my vehicle to commute to work, and now face the risk of missing a shift due to this entirely avoidable situation. 

I called the branch to explain the urgency of the matter and the consequences I was facing, but I was told there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation. At no point was I advised that stamping the check would limit my ability to negotiate it elsewhere. Had I been given that information, I would have made a different decision. 

Due to the negligent actions of the Chase Bank employee, I suffered financial loss, emotional distress, and potential employment risks. I am requesting immediate compensation for the following : 1. Rent late fee and any associated penalties 2. Transportation costs ( gas ) 3. Food and basic expenses for the day of XX/XX/year> XXXX. Any additional damages resulting from this delay in accessing my funds If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will consider pursuing legal action against the branch for negligence and financial harm caused by their actions. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there.

Complaint narrative:
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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
