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: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was imprisoned. That is the unfortunate truth of the matter. While incarcerated from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, my credit card was used and my accounts hacked. I provided a statement of incarceration to Chase bank and all my other banks and credit card institutions showing that I was in prison for the time my card was being overcharged and my accounts withdrawn. Prior to my incarceration I had a credit score over XXXX and never once had a late payment to my credit cards or any accounts. Chase bank is the ONLY credit card company not resolving my credit charges and new credit card application complaints/disputes. They say I am reliable for the charge because they found a forged check payment from my bank to this account and said I did it, but it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to have done any of this as I was incarcerated, but they are unwilling to do their job and hold whomever accountable. They want me to figure out who did it. That is unacceptable of a major credit card company with seemingly unlimited resources. I can not seem to get them to understand these new credit line applications and charges cant possibly have been me.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Every time I try to make a payment with OneMain I get an error message stating the website page didnt load correctly. This happens on their app and the OneMain website. Calls to the branch go straight to voicemail and even though I leave messages to get this paid, no one gets back to me and I have to constantly chase after the branch via voicemail meanwhile accruing late fees because of it. When I finally get to speak to someone, pay and tell them about the issue, they say they will forward the message to IT/tech support to find out about the issue and I never hear back. When Ive asked If could personally email/call tech support Im told its internal and something they can only do. Over a year ago my local branch closed and I had no idea my account had even been sent anywhere else or that the branch closed. I spent a day calling multiple branches to get a live person to even find out about my account. Now every month since, its been a hassle to just pay the loan, because of website issues or not being able to get anyone on time, all the while accruing late fees and interest.
