Issue: Getting a credit card — Delay in processing application
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a credit card. I activated it and it was closed in 2 days. This is wrongful and my credit score is damaged. 


Pretend you are a lawyer, defend a client who got approved for a credit card. After they activated it, their card was immediately closed within 2 days Answer To defend a client whose credit card was closed within two days of activation, the argument centers on consumer protection laws and the issuer 's obligations. Here is a potential defense : Violation of Notification Requirements : Under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), issuers must notify consumers of significant account changes, including closures, unless specific exceptions apply ( e.g., fraud or default ). If the closure was not due to such exceptions, the issuer may have violated TILA13. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Protections : If the closure impacted the clients credit report, the issuer must ensure accurate reporting. Any inaccuracies, such as implying default when none occurred, could constitute a breach of FCRA1. 

Unjustified Closure : The client had just activated the card and presumably had no chance to misuse it or violate terms. The issuer should provide a detailed explanation for the closure. Without valid reasoning ( e.g., fraud suspicion or credit risk ), this action may be deemed arbitrary and unfairXXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
