Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding FCRA and FDCPA Violations by DISCOVER BANK I am writing to file a formal complaint against DISCOVER BANK for multiple violations listed below of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Over the past several months, DISCOVER BANK has repeatedly re-aged the account on my credit report, which has caused significant damage to my credit score.

Details of Violations : 1. Re-aging of Account DISCOVER BANK has continuously updated the dates on this account, making it appear as though these debt is more recent than they actually is. This practice is in direct violation of the FCRA, which prohibits the re-aging of debts to extend the reporting period. 
XXXX. DISCOVER BANK ACCOUNT # : XXXX a. STATUS DATE : CHARGED OFF STATUS DATE : XXXX XXXX LAST UPDATED DATE : XX/XX/XXXX b. CHARGE OFF EACH MONTH XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX instances XXXX. Damage to Credit Score : Due to the repeated re-aging of these account, my credit score has been negatively impacted. This has resulted in higher interest rates on loans and credit cards, as well as difficulty in obtaining new credit.

3. Monthly Penalties : According to the FCRA, violations can result in penalties of up to {$1000.00} per month for each violation. Given that this has been occurring for several months per account, the total potential penalty could be {$9000.00}.

4. Continued Updates : Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue through my attorney with XXXX XXXX, the account continue to be updated monthly, further exacerbating the damage to my credit score.

Since these disputes have been ongoing through my attorney for over a year without corrections, the 30 day time frame is forfeit. 

Supporting Documentation : Attached to this complaint are copies of my credit reports that support my claims : my attorney has been diligent in trying to get responses from them, sometimes to no avail.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address a serious matter regarding the unauthorized and fraudulent use of my identity. It has come to my attention that an account has been opened in my name without my consent or knowledge. I would like to make it clear that I did not authorize this account, nor did I participate in any way in the creation or use of it. This is a clear case of identity theft, and I take this breach of my personal information extremely seriously.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against [ Creditors Name ] for inaccurate and unfair credit reporting in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ). 

Nature of the Complaint : Inaccurate and Misleading Charge-Off Reporting : The creditor has continuously reported a charge-off for multiple months, which is a violation of the FCRA. A charge-off is a one-time accounting event and should not be repeatedly reported, as this creates false delinquencies and extends the negative impact on my credit score. 
Improper Reporting of an Account No Longer Held by the Creditor : If the account has been sold or transferred, the creditor no longer has the right to report a charge-off. Continuing to do so misrepresents the debt and violates accurate reporting requirements under the FCRA.

Failure to Correct the Issue Despite a Formal Dispute : I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with [ Creditors Name ], but they have failed to take corrective action. This is a violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which grants consumers the right to dispute inaccurate information.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Every time I initiate a wire transfer from my Chase XXXX Account, the bank locks my account and cancels the transaction. This has occurred multiple times despite my compliance with all security protocols and documentation requirements. I have contacted Chases customer support via phone, visited their branch in person, and provided all requested information to verify my transactions. However, my account continues to be locked each time I attempt to make a wire transfer. 
Impact on My Business : Financial Loss & Missed Opportunities These recurring account locks and transaction cancellations have led to missed payments, delayed transactions, and even lost business deals. As a business owner who frequently travels, including overseas, access to my banking services is critical. The inability to make timely wire transfers has disrupted my business operations significantly. 
Unjustified Actions by Chase Bank When I inquired about the reason for these repeated account locks, Chase representatives provided vague responses, stating that the action was taken for " security reasons. '' However, they failed to provide specific details or a legitimate justification for why my account continues to be flagged. Instead, they insisted on " setting up expectations, '' implying that their actions were procedural rather than based on any real security concern. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. 
Failure to Resolve the Issue Despite multiple visits to Chase Bank branches and numerous phone calls with their customer service team, the issue remains unresolved. The banks refusal to provide a clear explanation or implement a lasting solution has caused undue hardship and frustration. 
Chase Banks ongoing actions have negatively impacted my ability to run my business effectively. Their lack of transparency and unwillingness to resolve the issue raise serious concerns about their business practices. I seek XXXXs assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring that Chase Bank takes immediate corrective action.
