Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to get my address corrected on my Experian credit report since XX/XX/2023. Experian as of XX/XX/2023 has not put my correct address on my credit report. 
I have been given 16 different dispute case numbers- 3 of which pertained not to my address but my name or social security number. I have been on the phone for hours with their dispute department and told numerous times that my address was fixed. It has not been. I have downloaded and sent by registered mail copies of my drivers license, social security card, bank statement, cable bill, renters insurance policy, and proof of health insurance from the state of Montana. All of these had my correct address. 
Experian has stated that they have received these documents and that they needed nothing further to fix the problem. They have not fixed the problem. I filed a complaint with you- # XXXX but the problem remains. I was sent a hard copy of my credit report from Experian which I received on XX/XX/2023 which had an incorrect address and which was different from the address listed on my online report. I am asking you to contact Experian again to please try and finally fix this problem. 
Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Affirm has been working on dispute since XX/XX/2022. While this account was in dispute I was not allowed to make payments on this account, I was notified on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX that XXXX the original seller had charged off the account for no payments received. Affirm immediately sent my balance to collections because they had let the dispute sit there for 5 months and with no notice or payment options said I needed to pay a debt collection agency. I said no. I have never made one late payment to affirm. That is not ethical. Affirm reported the balance to the credit agencies and stopped me from making any future purchases from them saying that I had not made payments on time,

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Commencing on or about XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  my bank account was hacked by an unknown scammer, after that I got disturbing messages saying that I have a new bank account balance with more money on it. When I went to withdraw the money I found out that I withdraw my own money there was no additional money. Scammers told me that I have to act quickly and withdraw the money. A number was then displayed on the screen of someone who could help me. I then contacted the number, and the person on the other end disguised themselves as a representative for XXXX and told me that I was hacked. I spoke with an individual, named XXXX XXXX, who manipulated and brainwashed me into believing that this was real. They used advanced technical language to confuse me and convince me that they were professionals so that when they told me that I needed to make payments to them on XXXX ATMs to stop the scammers from stealing more of my money, I believed them. 
I made multiple withdrawals, thinking I am withdrawing money someone added to my bank account, totaling around XXXX USD that I paid to the Scammers at the end from my JPMC account.
