Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My phone was stolen on XXXX XXXX at XXXX from my pocket in a bar. The thief was able to gain entry to my phone, after contacting the police and explaining to them, I was told that the people responsible are a known group who watch people enter their phone passwords and then steal the phone afterwards. 

They were able to enter my phone, deactivate find my friends and change my apple passwords etc. 

I called Chase at XXXX to warn them and ask that my accounts be frozen. Chase have a call log of someone else calling chase at XXXX ( not me ) and gaining access to my accounts through password reset. They then made a {$1900.00} dollar transfer via XXXX. Chase is refusing to recompensate this amount because they state that XXXX transactions can not be reclaimed by Chase and that XXXX won't compensate as they can not prove fraud as the transaction was made from my existing device, which is obviously the case because my phone was stolen. 

There was other instances of fraud on my accounts over the course of that week ( e.g. chase credit cards, XXXX etc ) for which I have been reimbursed - i.e. acceptance that I was subject to fraud, but Chase will not compensate me for this {$1900.00} amount. 

I'm also in contact with the police who have confirmed that the XXXX contact listed under the fraudulent transaction is a known name to them associated with a ring of fraudsters. On this basis, I can not understand why Chase will not credit me my money back- I believe that I am covered under the The EFTA ( Electronic Funds Transfer Act ), but every chase representative that I have spoken to has claimed not be aware of this. 

I would also point out that when I initially went in branch to deal with the fraud, I was told in person that I would get this money back. I reported my phone stolen to them prior to the transfer, and then the transfer within 12 hours of it happening.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am respectfully requesting a review of the late payment currently being reported on my credit file as open or unresolved, as I believe this information to be inaccurate and misleading. This reporting is factually inaccurate and materially misleading. The payment in question has either been fully resolved, or I was never late as alleged. The continued reporting of this item as delinquent constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information furnished. The presence of this inaccurate entry has directly harmed my credit standing, resulting in adverse effects on my credit score and potentially impeding future opportunities related to credit, housing, and employment. Accordingly, I demand a full investigation of this matter, and if the late payment can not be conclusively verified as accurate and timely, it must be immediately corrected or permanently deleted from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
The listed entries remain unverified and appear inaccurate. Despite numerous efforts to have these discrepancies properly addressed, no substantial action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up multiple times, yet the errors continue to appear. This ongoing inaction has resulted in financial difficulties and has negatively impacted my overall well-being. The mental and emotional strain caused by these unresolved issues has been considerable. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report, which includes the removal of any incorrect or unverified information. I strongly urge you to take prompt action to investigate and correct these items, as continued failure to do so may constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted XXXX points transfer from my capital one account to my XXXX account to purchase my flight home from XXXX. I had made a transfer that morning for a separate flight of XXXX points and it went through no issue. Also, there is a 15 % bonus going on right now with the transfer so i would have received XXXX points extra. In my XXXX account the XXXX points transferred but the XXXX points still has not shown up. I've called capital one multiple times as they say they cant do anything as the points have left their system. I've spent HOURS on the phone with XXXX for them to tell me itll be fixed in XXXX hours, a supervisor will call me tomorrow, it'll be 7 days maximum, now its saying i have to wait for up to 15 days for a response. 

The company at XXXX finally today escalated me to a supervisor after i refused to get off the phone for over an hour for her to tell me capital one isnt being responsive in their questions so this is why it hasnt been solved.

State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate and damaging reporting of late payments by the XXXX major credit bureausXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXand the U.S. Department of Education ( Department of Education/XXXX ) concerning my student loan account. Specifically, my account was in deferment, and despite this, late payments have been reported on my credit file, which is egregious, unacceptable, and unlawful. 

During the deferment period, I was under the understanding that my account was protected from negative reporting, as stipulated by federal law. However, my credit reports from XXXX XXXX and XXXX  inaccurately show late payments for this period. The Department of Education, as well as the loan servicer, failed to ensure that this account was reported correctly, leading to significant harm to my credit score and financial standing.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Equifax deleted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account ( ending in XXXX XXXXXXXX ) from my credit report under Dispute Confirmation # XXXX. 

On XX/XX/year>, the same account was reinserted without providing me any required notice of reinsertion within five business days. I received no written confirmation, no certification of accuracy, and no method of verification all of which are required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). 

I sent Equifax a certified dispute letter ( Tracking # XXXX ) demanding removal of the improperly reinserted tradeline. I also sent a separate certified letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the furnisher of the account, requesting documentation and verification. 

This complaint supplements a previous complaint I submitted on XX/XX/year> ( # XXXX ), which remains unresolved. Equifax has failed to comply with federal law in its handling of this reinvestigation and reinsertion. 

I am now requesting that Equifax permanently delete this tradeline, confirm that no further reinsertion will occur, and provide a full explanation in compliance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), and 623.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.
