Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concerns regarding a recent interaction with a debt collector. I requested validation of the debt but did not receive a response. I have called several times and keep being told it is being " worked on ''.

Under both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Florida 's Consumer Collection Practices Act ( FCCPA ), debt collectors are prohibited from misrepresenting the amount owed. Specifically, adding fees not included in the original contract constitutes misrepresentation. The FDCPA allows collectors to charge only those fees that are " expressly authorized '' by the original agreement or permitted by law. If the original contract does not specify these additional charges, they can not be added later. 

Furthermore, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act protects consumers from unfair or deceptive practices, which includes imposing unexpected charges. 

Not only that but this item is list negativaly on my credit report twice. Please remove it.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a complaint regarding my Chase Bank account ( Total checking and College checking account ), which was recently closed without prior notice or explanation. On XX/XX/2024. I discovered that Chase had closed my total checking ( {$1000.00} ) and college checking ( {$4000.00} ) account and held my funds without a clear reason or timeline for when my money would be returned.

I have made several attempts to contact Chase to resolve this issue, including calling customer service , fraud department, court order and levies department. However, I have received limited information and no explanation for why the account was closed and when will my fund be returned.

I am concerned about my inability to access my own money and the lack of transparency and communication from Chase in this matter. This situation has caused me considerable financial inconvenience and stress, as I am unable to meet certain financial obligations due to the unavailability of my funds.

State: OH

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
