Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : This letter is a formal dispute regarding the collection accounts reported on my credit file from Midland Credit Management. This account, as reflected in my credit report, are inaccurate and in violation of federal law.

I am requesting immediate investigation and verification of this account pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically under : 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ) This law prohibits debt collectors from continuing to communicate with a consumer after a cease communication request has been made. I have previously notified the debt collectors in writing to cease communication regarding these debts.

15 U.S.C. 1692g Under this section, a debt collector must provide a validation notice within five days of the initial communication, detailing the debt amount, creditor information, and my rights as a consumer. No such validation notice has been provided to me, rendering their reporting invalid and unverifiable.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had opened a claim with Chase bank about a transaction with XXXX where I had purchased an airline ticket for {$1600.00}. Chase denied my claim because XXXX told them that I never cancelled and I was a NoShow for the flight. 

I provided documentation to Chase bank that clearly shows that I had requested cancellation on XXXX XXXX and XXXX offered to refund me {$26.00} instead of the {$1600.00}. 
I requested a refund again on XX/XX/year>. After which, I never received a response from XXXX. 

I requested to appeal the claim decision with Chase but they refuse to help. They stated there is nothing they can do because the claim is closed. They continue to tell me that I should speak to XXXX even though I have explained to them that XXXX does not have a phone number and did not respond to my email which is why I had opened a claim with Chase. 

I believe this was a unfair decision because I have evidence to prove that I requested the cancellation in a timely manner. 

I will attach a copy of the receipt that clearly shows that I paid an extra {$210.00} to be able to cancel for any reason. 

I will also attach email correspondence with XXXX. 

I will also attach the letter from Chase denial of claim.
