Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I opened a new personal checking account with Chase Bank. On the same date, I deposited a legitimate check for {$25000.00} issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The purpose of this payment was payment for services rendered. 

Shortly after the deposit, the {$25000.00} was placed on an extended hold by Chase Bank. My overall account is active and not frozen, but these specific funds are inaccessible to me. 

When I contacted Chase Bank on multiple occasions, I was informed that the hold was due to their inability to verify the check issuer 's business phone number. They stated the number I provided did not 'match ' their internal records or public databases. 

I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this issue and provide the necessary verification. I contacted the check issuer, who confirmed their legitimacy and provided their current contact number. On XX/XX/year>, I communicated this number to Chase, but was again told it does not match their records and that they " can not do anything ' without a matching public number. 

The check issuer, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , is a legitimate business and is willing to directly cooperate with Chase to verify the check. I have conveyed this willingness to Chase and offered to have the issuer contact them directly, or provide a formal letter on company letterhead with their EIN and contact details for verification. 

Despite my full cooperation and the issuer 's willingness to verify, Chase has not provided any alternative verification methods that would lead to the release of my legitimate funds. This indefinite hold on {$25000.00} is causing significant financial hardship/inconvenience.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Complaint narrative:
Im contacting you to formally dispute an item currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, the information in question does not meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy, as required under FCRA Section 607 ( b ).

I take my credit and financial record very seriously, and I expect that anything being reported under my name is fully accurate and properly verified. In this case, that standard is not being met. Whether due to outdated, incorrect, or incomplete reporting, the presence of this item is misrepresenting my credit history and unfairly affecting my financial reputation.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the collection account currently listed on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1400.00}, which references XXXX XXXX as the original creditor. The account number reported by XXXX XXXX is XXXX * * * *. This is a re-reporting of the same debt originally listed under account number XXXX by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal identity theft dispute under FCRA 605B via the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). My submission included a valid FTC Identity Theft Report, government-issued ID, Social Security card, proof of address, and a credit report. As a result of this dispute, the original XXXX XXXX account was permanently deleted from all three credit bureaus ( Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion ) within 30 days as confirmed by my attached IdentityIQ reports for XXXX through XX/XX/year>, as well as screenshots from XXXX XXXX and the Experian XXXX app showing the complete removal of account # XXXX. In XX/XX/year>, this same debt was re-reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX under a new collection account. This is a direct and willful violation of FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 2 ) ( B ), which prohibits the reinsertion of any information previously blocked due to identity theft unless the furnisher certifies the informations accuracy and the consumer is notified in writing. Neither requirement was met. I received no written notice, and no certification was provided. I am demanding the immediate and permanent deletion of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit file. Furthermore, I request written confirmation that this account tied to a previously blocked identity theft dispute will not be allowed to reappear in any form under any furnisher. This is a legal obligation under federal law, and I expect full compliance.
