Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I closed my deceased mother 's estate account at Chase Bank, for which I am the executor, by phone on XX/XX/XXXX, and asked a check to be mailed to me. I never received the check, and started calling to have a new one sent at the end of XXXX, on the date Chase said I could officially request a new check. They never told me I needed to file a form to stop the check, and only found out a few weeks later after multiple phone calls. I filed a lost check form by email on XX/XX/XXXX and can not confirm that it was ever received. Chase customer service has been denying me status updates on where my check is for 2 months now. I can not access any details of my account with any level of customer service and have filed multiple complaints, the last being on XX/XX/XXXX, and I was promised a call back this week, which I did not receive. Customer service claims they have no access to that level of account detail, but can not connect me with anyone who does, and can not give me any status updates. I literally have no information, despite how many hours I have spent trying. Many times after being passed to multiple representatives and on hold for a long time, the call will get simply cut off. By the time I get to the top representative that I'm told can help me, it's always the same answer : they can only send a message to the " back Office '' and I must wait for a response. There has not been a response in " the system '' yet. No amount of escalations, case numbers or complaints will get me any answers to where my money is. I'm filing this complaint because Chase Bank has failed to send me the money from my own account for since XX/XX/XXXX, and their customer service is unacceptable and worrying. No one who lost a parent and is trying to close their estate account should have to go through this.
