Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Credit Control Service, for committing identity theft. I have never given Credit Control Service, any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). 

I have not validated any alleged debt with Credit Control Service and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of XX/XX/23, I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving Credit Control Service any right to collect on this alleged debt. 
I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Credit Control Service, before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Credit Control Service, can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Credit Control Service, can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Credit Control Service, continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Credit Control Service, will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I was charged too much for a vacation car rental ( roughly double the original amount or XXXX USD too much ). I have two documents that prove the correct amount, one is the confirmation from priceline which I had used to complete the reservation, the other document is a statement from the employee of the car rental company that states the correct amount and explicitly states that no one-way fee was to be charged for the rental ( which is the main driver of the difference ). I contacted the car rental company multiple times through different channels. As nobody at the car rental company felt responsible for the issue, I disputed the charge with Chase. The first agent at Chase asked me to go to the car rental location in person ( which is located in XXXX, I am based in the US ) to resolve the issue. The second agent pretended to take me seriously but closed down the dispute a few days later with no explanation or resolution, despite the documentation I had provided. With the merchant being unresponsive, it is the bank 's responsibility to resolve this dispute but Chase does not take its responsibility seriously.
