Complaint narrative:
in late XX/XX/XXXX, in my last phone communication with Chase card services, specifically in their credit card settlement department, which I made to them in an effort to remain in good standing, they recommended to me on a recorded line that I would be able to call back at the end of XXXX, prior to XX/XX/XXXX, and arrange for a schedule to specifically keep my two charged off credit cards in good enough standing to not send it to a law firm for collection. It was then made aware to me when I called back at the time they suggested that they had referred this situation to a law firm on XX/XX/XXXX. As such, Ive lost the ability to settle my amounts agreed upon and now face litigation even though I proactively tried to assist them in the process of recovering payment from me. A law firm is now harassing my XXXX XXXX father even though it knows my address.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration with the repeated unsuccessful attempts to remove charge-offs from my account. Despite multiple requests and efforts on my part, these charge-offs persist on my account statement, causing significant distress and inconvenience. 

I have diligently followed the procedures outlined by your institution to dispute and request the removal of these charge-offs. I have provided all necessary documentation, explanations, and evidence to support my case. However, despite my best efforts, the charge-offs remain unresolved. 

It is extremely disheartening to see that despite my repeated attempts and persistence, the charge-offs continue to negatively impact my financial standing. These unresolved charge-offs not only affect my credit score but also hinder my ability to access financial products and services. 

I have made several calls, sent numerous emails, and submitted multiple written requests in an effort to escalate the resolution of this matter. However, the lack of progress and the continued presence of charge-offs on my account have left me feeling frustrated and disillusioned. 

As a valued customer, I expect prompt and effective resolution to any discrepancies or errors on my account. The repeated failures to address this issue reflect poorly on your institution 's commitment to customer service and financial integrity. 

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this situation. I request that all erroneous charge-offs be promptly removed from my account, and that measures be implemented to prevent any recurrence of such errors in the future. 

Furthermore, I expect transparent communication throughout the resolution process, including regular updates on the progress made towards resolving this matter. 

Please consider this letter as a formal complaint regarding the handling of the charge-offs on my account. I trust that you will prioritize this issue and take the necessary steps to restore my confidence in your institution. I am asking for your assisstance to remove these accounts in my credit file XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$5200.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$20000.00}.
