Complaint narrative:
CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Complaint Filed ) CC : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : XXXX, Equifax, XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. 

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder. 

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred. 
Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a complaint against Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus. I recently noticed a significant drop in my credit score as reported by Experian. An alert regarding a derogatory remark was triggered, however, despite a thorough review of my credit report, I am unable to identify any late payment or other negative factors that would justify such a drop. Furthermore, I haven't found any information that would substantiate this derogatory remark. I believe there is a discrepancy between my credit report and the score provided by Experian.

Despite multiple attempts to clarify and rectify this issue directly with Experian, I have not been able to obtain a satisfactory resolution. The situation is particularly concerning as it adversely impacts my creditworthiness and potentially affects my financial future. I understand under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information and Experian is obligated to investigate the items in question. I believe Experian has not fulfilled their obligations in this regard. I kindly request the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to aid in resolving this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Then they told me that they weren't authorized to take it. I asked how did I receive a message saying that my payment was received and a confirmation number if it wasn't paid. They told me that they couldn't see that and I would have to send a letter to a XXXX XXXX XXXX Then I was told they have the confirmation but they can't wave the extra late fee and that I can only send a letter to the company and they might do it. I have screenshots showing that I made the payment to them and that they are showing that I'm current.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXXXXXX I have conducted the payment in the amount of XXXX USD from my account with XXXXXXXX to account of XXXX XXXX opened with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX JP Morgan Chase Bank was an intermediary bank in this chain. On XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX was designated under the Executive Order 14024. Considering this, my payment must be blocked by intermediary bank according to US sanctions regulation. In order to unblock the payment, I need to apply for a specific license to OFAC. However, JP Morgan Chase Bank has not still blocked the payment or has not informed originating bank about freezing measures. Thus, I can not apply to OFAC for a license that is necessary to unblock my funds because to do so, I must fill in some data and specifically the date when the payment was blocked. Otherwise, OFAC may not locate the records of the blocked payment. On XXXXXXXX we tried to contact JP Morgan Chase Bank via XXXX from XXXX XXXX asking them to clarify if the payment was blocked and reported to OFAC and when. Still, JP Morgan Chase Bank has not responded. Thus, I can not apply to OFAC for a license that is necessary to unblock my funds.
