Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Under the FDCPA and FCRA, verification is not just a name matchit is a sworn affidavit or certified statement of truth. Per 15 U.S.C. 1681n, your continued reporting without proper verification is willful noncompliance.

I demand proof of delivery of the initial dunning letter within 14 days of placing this account on my credit report, including a certified mail tracking number. If you can not provide this, you must delete this tradeline immediately and cease all collection activity, including reporting. 

I never had an account with XXXX XXXX, and you are neither the original creditor nor a valid assignee. Debt buyers are not creditors under the law. 

This account is still within the federal debt validation window, per 1006.34. Failure to comply will result in further action to seek justice for the harm caused.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase while traveling internationally, totaling XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Rupees ). However, my Chase Sapphire Reserve card was charged {$12000.00} USD. This reflects an exchange rate of approximately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which is significantly lower than the official XXXX exchange rate on the transaction date, which was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

According to XXXX 's official exchange rate tool, the correct charge should have been approximately {$11000.00} USD, meaning I was overcharged by {$810.00} USD due to the unfair exchange rate applied by the merchant. 

I raised a dispute with Chase, but they initially claimed that they could not help with issues related to exchange rates. A Chase manager later acknowledged the discrepancy and initiated a dispute. After 89 days, Chase closed the dispute and reapplied the full charge, stating that the merchant had submitted a receipt and that they could not intervene on matters involving the " transaction rate. '' I hold a Chase Sapphire Reserve card, which advertises no foreign transaction fees and premium customer service. However, Chase has refused to advocate on my behalf or recognize the exchange rate discrepancydespite clear evidence from XXXX  official rate tool and the fact that the rate used by the merchant ( XXXX ) has not matched the actual market rate at any time this year. 

This has resulted in a financial loss of over {$800.00} and a poor customer service experience. I am requesting that the CFPB look into this matter, and that Chase be held accountable for failing to support their customer in a clearly unfair transaction scenario.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Account Reporting and Request for Verification for the Fourth Time To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the continued inaccurate reporting of the account associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) on my credit report. This marks my fourth attempt since XXXX to resolve this matter, and I have also reported this issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for the second time. 

Despite my repeated requests, the inaccuracies are still unresolved, and I have yet to receive adequate documentation or responses to my inquiries. The continued lack of transparency raises significant concerns regarding the validity of this account and the verification process. Specifically, I am requesting the following information : 1. Chain of Custody : Documentation showing the chain of custody for this account, including any transfers or sales of the account.

2. Insurance Policy : Confirmation of whether an insurance policy was taken out on this loan, and if so, whether that policy was paid out. Please provide proof.

3. Form 1099-C : Evidence that a Form 1099-C was sent to me and filed with the IRS regarding this account .

4. Verification Process : A detailed explanation of the process used to verify this loan and confirm its accuracy. 

Furthermore, the only documentation I have received is a contract that does not contain my signature. This raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the account and the verification process followed by your organization. 

Given that it has now exceeded the legal timeframe for providing this information, I am concerned about how the CFPB can close out this matter without ensuring that I receive the requested documentation. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed accounts and provide accurate reporting. 

I demand that you either correct the inaccuracies or remove the account from my credit report entirely. Please respond to this letter within 30 days of receipt, as required by law. Failure to address this matter appropriately will result in further action, including escalation to the CFPB and potential legal remedies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
