Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the accuracy of a debt reported by my former landlord related to the property at XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), with an account that appears to have ended on XX/XX/XXXX. 

According to the transaction breakdown, I am being charged for various damages, fees, and replacements dated XX/XX/XXXX totaling over {$4500.00} that I believe are inaccurate, inflated, or completely untrue. These charges were never clearly communicated to me, and I was not given a proper opportunity to review or dispute them at the time. 

Some specific issues I dispute : Excessive carpet and appliance replacement fees ( {$1000.00} for carpet, {$620.00} for refrigerator parts, etc. ) Duplicate or questionable charges for light bulbs and fixtures ( multiple line items for different bulbs, totaling nearly {$100.00} ) Unfair re-letting fee of {$1000.00}, which appears to be a full rent charge despite the unit being vacated early Cleaning and repair charges that were not justified or backed by documentation ( e.g., {$600.00} cleaning fee, broken blinds {$220.00} ) Additionally, the security deposit of {$1200.00} was deducted but does not appear to be properly applied toward these alleged charges.

Complaint narrative:
My Cash App account was permanently closed without a clear explanation. I contacted Cash App Support many times over the past year requesting the specific reason for my account closure. Instead of a transparent answer, I was only told that my account was linked to activity that goes against the Terms of Service.

I repeatedly asked for details about what exact activity allegedly violated the Terms of Service, but the company refused to provide this information. I also provided all the information they requested, including how I used my account ( personal use such as sending money to family and friends, online purchases, and receiving payments for freelance work ).

Despite this, Cash App continues to give only generic responses and has not provided a clear or final explanation. This lack of transparency has left me frustrated and without a way to understand or resolve the issue.

Company: Climb Credit Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Misleading Loan and Services with Climb Credit/ XXXX XXXX XXXX I am filing a complaint regarding my experience with Climb Credit and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe I was misled into signing a loan agreement under false or unclear circumstances, and I did not receive the services I was promised. 

I was under the impression that I was enrolling in educational services, not taking out a loan. At no point did I receive a full, clear explanation of the financial terms. The process was rushed, and I was only asked to click a box without a proper review of the contract. I was not given adequate time to understand what I was agreeing to, and no funds were ever disbursed directly to me. 

After realizing what happened, I attempted to cancel but was denied. Despite not receiving any services, I was still held financially responsible. I had to dispute charges with my bank in order to protect myself. This entire experience has felt deceptive, predatory, and unprofessional.

I am also submitting this complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) so that others are aware of these practices.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my physical Chase business credit card was stolen along with other personal items. Shortly after, the card was fraudulently used in-store at XXXX XXXX to make purchases totaling nearly {$1200.00}. I did not authorize these transactions in any way. 

A police report was immediately filed documenting the theft, and I contacted both Chase and XXXX XXXX. When I followed up with XXXX XXXX, they confirmed that they do not request identification or signatures for in-store purchases of this type. They also provided me with a copy of the receipt for the fraudulent transaction, which showed no connection to me or my company, neither my name nor my business name appeared on it. 

This is a clear and documented case of fraud : the physical card was stolen, unauthorized charges were made, and the merchants own admission confirms that no verification was performed to ensure the purchaser was the rightful cardholder. As a result, I have been left with almost {$1200.00} in fraudulent charges on my business account, despite having taken the proper steps to report the theft to law enforcement and the merchant.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
