Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX : It appears that someone opened an XXXX XXXX credit card account with my personal information, used our business checking account number ( gathered fraudulently by hacking into our CHASE BANK online banking ), then paid off that XXXX credit card with our business checking account. 

The total stolen amount is of {$22000.00}. 

There was another attempt by potentially the same group, on XX/XX/XXXX, with a XXXX credit card for a payment of {$23000.00} charged to our business CHASE BANK checking account. Luckily chase stopped that XXXX. The one from XXXX wasn't stopped in time and CHASE is unable to return the funds because of Regulation E not being applicable for business accounts. 

We have opened a claim with XXXX to recover the missing {$22000.00} ( Claim number : XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX but we have not heard anything back to this date. 

Attached you will find the Chase claim, and our XXXX statements with none of the amounts matching the {$22000.00} stolen.

Complaint narrative:
I recently started to check my Credit Report around XX/XX/23 for the first time and I seen so much false information on it. There were false names, phone numbers, address and even a negative debt for {$3600.00}. My friend told me to download XXXX and XXXX app to dispute it. He wrote the dispute, and a few things came off but not everything. 

Then when I did more research, I learned that you should call the companies to explain the Identity Theft instead of disputing online. So, I called XXXX and they said they will get back to me. I called a weeks later and was just put on hold and then the call just hung up. 

Now I'm taking the proper steps to fix everything. This negative false information is affecting my family and me. The bank seen so many different names for me and like XXXX addresses. It even shows that I have an address in Colorado and I never even been to Colorado.

My credit is not the best and thats why Im trying fix it. I do have a few other negative debts and I take full responsibility for them but the one debt for {$3600.00} is not mines.

I lost my wallet few years ago and had to get a new ID and many years ago I lost my passport and had to report it and get a new one too. I don't know if that has anything to do with this.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Respected sir/madam, I have a checking account XXXX in Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  for XXXX XXXX XXXX decade. 
As such I had applied for new credit card with XXXX interest rate for a fixed time so that I could payoff my other high interest bearing credit cards. 
After I got the credit card the credit card department with the help of fraud prevention have blocked the card and it was because they expected wrong use of my credit card because of some " phishing ''. 
So I was asked to visit the branch with my ID and clear the hold in my credit card.I went to the XXXX the branch relationship XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX branch, XXXX, XXXX  XXXX. 
She connected me with the fraud department official and after reviewing my documents with the branch staff, the fraud prevention official cleared the hold on my card. 
After that I called the customer care and initiated the balance transfer that I planned. After a few days I got a message that my balance transfer has not been processed. As such I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX and enquired about my transaction which was declined. 
As I good account holder of the bank, I was given the credit card ( ending with XXXX ) but this strange card blocking shocked me and further the XXXX XXXX XXXX is asking me to go to the branch again with my ID and redo the same meeting all over again. 
I explained that I was having some health issues as I am now a senior citizen ( XXXX ) and XXXX unable to freely go to the branch, but the official did not seem to understand if she wanted to really help a new credit card customer. 
I am sure this repeated meetings to clear the same issue is not secure for me. 
Please check this matter as to why I have to repeat any action for the same issue XXXX even commented that if this issue kept recurring I will have to relocate to live inside the branch itself. 
Please help! 
I am feeling helpless and trying to reach out for more and more help I can submit more details if needed. 
Thanking you, yours faithfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have been working on my TransUnion credit profile and I noticed there is an incorrect addresses on my report. I am writing to dispute the errors on my credit report. I request that these errors be corrected immediately. Enclosed, please find copies of the relevant documentation supporting my dispute. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

The INCORRECT Address that should be deleted is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX and there is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Please keep in mind that Congress ( 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) makes it clear that I have a right to privacy. Privacy is not defined because only I can define what privacy is to me. 
( XXXX ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

Under the subsection 15 usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) the reporting agency does not have my written instructions to report anything. The code says they need permissible purpose in accordance with written instructions. The credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) do not have my written permission and this should be removed accordingly. 

I am under the impression that it seems as if a company has taken advantage of obtaining my personal address for their benefit. There is a huge risk of having the incorrect address on my consumer report because this could potentially be identity theft. 

I know that under the following law the CRA has to delete inaccurate information. 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy section ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. Lastly, see the below where there must be maximum accuracy and unfortunately they are not practicing this law. 1681e. Compliance procedures Section ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

Complaint narrative:
I was referred to an out-of-network ( which I don't know it's OON ) by a doctor in in-network hospital for doing a XXXX examination while doing the normal examination there. During examination, I confirmed several time that this XXXX should be fully covered by my insurance and I don't need to pay for it. While I was in the XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, where I did the XXXX exam, I wasn't notified of anything about the potential cost or receipt. Later I received the payment request of the XXXX for over XXXX dollars. 

This is a surprise medical bill, because first I've told this is covered by insurance. Second, I wasn't notified of that the provider is out-of-network and I need to pay for this possibly as well as the cost for this exam in advance. 

Besides, the price for XXXX is extremely higher than regular XXXX XXXX in market ( $ 100-200 is the normal price, but they charged me for {$1300.00} )
