Complaint narrative:
I will not accept your attempt to downplay my identity theft claim as a mistake or misrepresentation of essential information. WHO HAS GIVEN YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHAT CONSTITUTES A SIGNIFICANT FACT? YOU ARE NOT A JUDGE, A JURY ORIN ANY POSITION TO MAKE SUCH JUDGMENTS! Your right to do so is non-existent. My distress arises because I have fallen victim to identity theft, a criminal act that has caused me severe emotional and financial turmoil. However, the response from your bureau, or rather the lack thereof, has shown a shocking disregard for the urgency and seriousness of my situation. Let me be perfectly clear : I will not tolerate the indifference and apathy I have encountered so far. As an identity theft victim, I have suffered from unauthorized accounts and transactions that have tarnished my credit profile and jeopardized my financial stability. The consequences have been severe, impacting my ability to obtain loans, mortgages, and even job opportunities. My rights as a consumer must be upheld, and justice must prevail. PLEASE DELETE THESE ACCOUNTS : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The issue involves Chase XXXX card. 

On my XXXX statement it included the amount of {$10000.00} as the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Payment due date is XX/XX/XXXX. I paid {$11000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On My XXXX statement I was still charged interest of {$130.00}. 

Talking to Chase customer service they explained because I didn't pay the entire balance of my XXXX statement. When I asked then why would my XXXX statement specifically mention one number to avoid paying interest when its not accurate.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I was in the lobby of my apartment building checking the mail and set my phone on my countertop. I went to the elevator and made it to the XXXX floor before I realized I had left my phone downstairs. When I came back for it, the phone was still unlocked and my credit card and cash were missing from my wallet case. I immediately called to cancel the card. I got an email later that my chime had been logged into but the email said XXXX which I have so I didnt think it was suspicious. I later saw a transaction for XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and then XXXX cash transfers that were all fraudulent. Chime did not alert me to these transfers nor did I get a confirmation text. I opened a complaint today for all of them. I asked chime for the name of the person whose chime account the cash transfers went to, as I want to file a police report against them. I have also gone to the leasing office to see if there is camera footage as per the Police departments request. Chime has not reversed the cash transfers nor have they given me the name of the individual who took my money. The case number they assigned me was XXXX. There is no live phone rep to talk to, only email and chat. The phone rep directs you back to those to options.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXX, 2023 Equifax placed a fraud alert on my credit file. I never requested this in any way. I am trying to purchase a car, and I am being denied credit from out of state lenders because of this fraud alert. Many require me to verify my identity inside their ( only out of state ) branch. I am not able to do so, so the application is denied. On XXXX I followed their instructions to remove the fraud alert by mailing a letter along with a copy of my driver 's license and social security card. The required time has elapsed to remove the alert, but this has not happened yet. On XXXX I contacted them at XXXX to follow up on the status. They said they could not help me because they could not verify my identity. I provided the same information the other credit agencies use to very my identity. I asked for a supervisor, and I was placed on hold for an hour. No one called me back. I have cleared the fraud alert from XXXX and XXXX, but Equifax is still reporting an active fraud alert to them. So, the other agencies keep re-adding a fraud alert.
