Complaint narrative:
Dispute of Collection Account Request for Immediate Removal To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy and validity of the collection account reported on my credit .Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), I am exercising my right to dispute the legitimacy of this debt and demand its immediate removal from my credit report.

Legal Basis for Dispute : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), the permissible purposes for accessing a consumer 's credit report exclude reporting or collection activities without proper validation. If the collection agency has not provided sufficient verification of the debt, including but not limited to proof of the original debt, the account 's validity is questionable. I have not received any proper documentation to support this debt. Any amount owed, accuracy of the dates, or lack of proper notice. 
Demand for Action : I demand that these discrepancies are immediately investigated, and this dispute and any other inaccurate account removed, and the inaccurate and invalid collection account removed from my credit report. Failure to do so within 15 business days will leave me with no choice but to pursue further action, including, but not limited to, filing a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Please see the attached document for supporting details. I expect immediate action to delete these unauthorized inquiries from my credit profile to prevent any further damage to my credit standing. Failure to act on this matter promptly may result in further escalation.

Complaint narrative:
I had a payment plan set up with this company and provided my card information, which the representative confirmed was on file. However, all follow-up calls came from a toll-free XXXX number flagged as Scam by my phone provider. As a result, calls and voicemails were automatically routed to a hidden folder that I dont routinely check. Even a later call from a XXXX number was flagged, though XXXX voicemail finally reached my main inbox. 

When I listened to that voicemail, I was shocked by the unnecessarily aggressive and hostile tone. I called the representative back and, while I briefly matched his tone, I quickly attempted to de-escalate. I explained the situation : their number was flagged as a scam by carriers, I never received the prior messages, and I was willing to resolve the matter. I also requested that we communicate via email going forward, as I was at work. 

Instead of responding professionally, he continued to yell, refused to send an email, and informed me that the account had been sent to an attorney, along with {$2000.00} in added fees. When I stated that his behavior felt harassing, he told me I didnt know what harassment means and hung up on me. 

I called back once more to clarify whether he still intended to collect the payment. During that call, I did settle the debt in full, and he confirmed the payment was accepted. However, he also stated that he wouldnt have raised his voice if I didnt have attitude. This kind of behavior is unacceptableespecially from someone representing a financial business. 

Afterward, I looked up the companys BBB profile and discovered multiple similar complaints from other consumers who described experiencing aggression, intimidation, and verbal abuse from the same representative. This appears to be a pattern, not an isolated incident. 

Im submitting this complaint not only because of how I was treated, but also out of concern for other consumers. Im requesting the CFPB investigate the companys conduct and ensure consumers are not subjected to threats, yelling, or unprofessional treatment when attempting to resolve financial matters in good faith.

I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ).

I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing again regarding my previous dispute request for the blocking of fraudulent information from my credit report, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. As of today, it has been more than four business days, and you have failed to take any action on this matter. This is an unacceptable delay and a violation of the law. 
This account was fraudulently opened in my name, and I have provided all necessary documentation, including a police report and FTC identity theft report. As per the FCRA, you are required to block this information within four business days of receiving my request-yet here we are, with no action taken. 
I demand that you immediately block this fraudulent account from my credit report and send me written confirmation that it has been done. If you fail to do so within the next 48 hours, I will be forced to escalate this matter with the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursue legal action for non-compliance.

Additionally, if you claim that you can not fulfill my request, you must provide a clear and detailed explanation as to why this can not be done. 
I expect prompt resolution of this issue, and I will not tolerate any further delay. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Negative Items Identified : XXXX - Collection/Chargeoff - Amount : {$500.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my debit card was charged {$1400.00} by a hotel in the XXXX XXXX for a stay that occurred nearly XXXX years earlier, in XXXX. I was never notified by the hotel of an outstanding balance, and I did not authorize this delayed debit. The charge was completely unexpected and caused significant financial hardship. 

I immediately filed a dispute with Chase Bank. They issued a temporary credit but later reversed it, claiming the claim was denied despite the extreme delay, lack of prior notice, and the fact that I would have provided a different card had I been contacted. The funds were pulled from my checking account without my consent or authorization in XXXX. 

I believe Chase failed to protect me as required under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( Regulation E ) by allowing an unauthorized electronic debit without confirming renewed consent, and by reversing the provisional credit without a fair investigation or providing any supporting documentation. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate Chases handling of this dispute, and that the funds be returned to my account. 

This charge was made without any prior notice, consent, or opportunity for me to approve or verify it. I did not authorize this delayed debit at the time of the transaction, nor was I contacted by the merchant before it was processed. Had I been notified, I would have provided an alternative payment method one that would not have caused significant financial harm to me this month.

This situation constitutes an unauthorized electronic fund transfer under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq. ) and its implementing regulation, Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005.11 ), due to the following : I did not authorize the charge at the time it was processed. The merchant waited nearly 24 m
onths after the original service was rendered to initiate a debit. 

The transaction was made without prior written or verbal notice, violating the principle of informed consent. 

The delay is so unreasonable that it undermines the legitimacy of the original authorization.

I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

These accounts are being reported under my name and Social Security Number without my knowledge, consent, or legal obligation.

- I have never received any court documentation or agency notification related to these accounts. 
- The reporting agencies have not provided original creditor information or valid supporting documentation. 
- These accounts are adversely affecting my credit profile and were added without my consent or due process. 
Additionally, both the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX child support accounts are being reported as 'Paid Off ' yet are still listed as 'Open. ' This contradicts the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ), which requires furnishers and credit bureaus to report complete and accurate information.

Reporting paid-off accounts as still open is misleading and noncompliant. I request immediate correction or deletion of these accounts. 
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I request that these accounts be investigated and permanently removed or corrected on my credit reports with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. 
Attached to this letter are the following documents in support of my dispute : - Government-issued photo identification - Proof of address - Identity theft affidavit or police report ( if available ) - Copy of my credit report showing the disputed accounts Please complete your investigation and provide written confirmation of the results within 30 days as required by the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against the Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against the Navy Federal for similar practice we transaction settled with insufficient despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and I request an investigation into my account transactions.
