Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A merchant charged my account for hundreds of dollars, unauthorized and unprompted. I contacted the merchant and they had no explanation, they just sent me a blank invoice. It had no description of the charge, no reason for the charge, just the amount and that they had already taken it from my account. I contacted chase about the charge online and by phone, and submitted all necessary invoices, emails, any communication I had with the merchant. It was closed due to missing documents. I asked what else I could possibly provide and they ignored me and said a letter would be mailed to me with the result. The letter said only that my dispute was denied. I filed a complaint with CFPB about my experience, and they reopened my case, just to close it less than XXXXne full day later, again, due to missing documents. Again, I asked what document they need and I have yet to receive a response. Looks like Im stuck paying hundreds of dollars for a purchase I did not make, authorize, or receive any product for. Never got any answer from the merchant, from my bank, anyone. Im stuck paying this random fraudulent charge, thats how Chase treats a long time customer!

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
