Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>2024, I signed my daughter up for a daycare and paid {$1700.00} via credit card. This included a {$1100.00} non-refundable registration and supply fee and a portion of the first months tuition. Within 20 minutes of submitting the payment, I unexpectedly lost my job and immediately contacted the daycare to cancel the charge. They refused. I then called Chase, and they told me that because the charge was still pending, they couldnt stop itbut once it posted, they would help me dispute it.

The daycare later refunded {$590.00} for the tuition portion but refused to refund the {$1100.00} fee, citing a non-refundable clause in the contract. However, that clause applies only if my daughter actually attended the daycarewhich she never did. In fact, they are now refusing to allow her to attend at all. 

I filed a dispute with Chase on XX/XX/year>2024, explaining that I never received the service and that the merchant was now refusing to provide it. Chase sided with the merchant. I filed an appeal on XX/XX/scrub> 2024, again explaining that I had attempted to cancel the charge within minutes and never received any service. Chase denied the appeal as well. 

At this point, I am being charged {$1100.00} for a service that was never provided and is no longer being offered to me. I attempted to cancel the charge while it was still pending, and neither the merchant nor Chase acted in good faith. I believe this is an unfair and potentially fraudulent business practice.

Complaint narrative:
( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1400.00}. 

As a federally protected consumer I'm seeking proof of the alleged debt, under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715, 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I demand for proof of the debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature in wet ink, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine. For the record, I state again that as I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered into a contract with you, I must ask for the following information : 1 ) Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) 15 USC 1692 ( f ) and USC 1692 ( g ) in this alleged matter. 2 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4 ) Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in the state. 5 ) Please provide proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my wet signature. You have 7 days of this notice to respond. Your failure to respond, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner, will work as a waiver to any and all of your claims in this matter, and will entitle me to presume that you sent your letter ( XXXX  ) in error, and that this matter is permanently closed. Your continued silence is unacceptable. Either provide the proof or correct the record to remove the invalid debt from my credit files with the three-primary credit-reporting agencies. You are currently in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Act.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

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.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I traveled out of town on XX/XX/25 and unintentionally left my wallet at home. The last authorized transaction I made was an online purchase of a bed from XXXX for my daughters college dorm room, which I completed prior to departing. While away, my nephew, who is currently residing in my household, used my debit card without my permission to initiate several transactions. Upon reviewing my account remotely, I noticed these charges and immediately contacted Regions Bank 's customer service support. A representative acknowledged my report and initially stated they would grant a one-time adjustment for the overdraft charges resulting from the fraudulent transactions. I explained that my daughters college tuition was scheduled to be paid from the same account and urged them not to interfere with the availability of the funds. To my dismay, on XXXX XX/XX/25, I discovered that over {$600.00} had been withdrawn from my account for overdraft and penalty fees, rendering me unable to pay my daughter 's tuition. Under regulation E ( 12 CFR section1005 ) consumers are protected against unauthorized electronic fund transfers, provided the consumer notifies the institution within two business days of discovering the issue. Section 1005.11 ( c ) ( 2 ) ( i ) and the Truth in Savings Act- 12 U.S.C. section 4301 et seq, states that overdraft practices must be clearly disclosed and not misleading and its questionable whether Regions properly disclosed or fairly applied its overdraft policy in a good faith, one-time courtesy situation. The Dodd-Frank Act section 1031 & section 1036 also protect against abusive deceptive practices which cause substantial financial injury. The overdraft fees in question lack transparency and exploited my vulnerability after a good faith report.

Upon arriving at the stadium on XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that I had not received the tickets within the timeframe necessary to attend the event. I promptly contacted XXXX customer service to report the issue and confirm the non-receipt of the tickets.
