Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I received a fraud text message from Chase Bank on XX/XX/year> for {$590.00} to a random children 's hospital. 

I closed the account shortly after, as I was just unhappy with the card itself. 

I had autopay on the card the entire time. 

After months of no contact, chase started sending me bills of XXXX  of dollars. 

When I contacted them and explained why I closed my account because of the {$590.00} fraud charge, they said " well that never made it to your bill ''. After escalating the call 3 levels, a higher representative said " oh it did make it on your bill '' So I disputed everything after that date and they refuse to care. Saying I have to pay the balance. 

It's been over 12 months and dozens of hours on the phone with these people and I am done starting over every time I HAVE TO CALL to resolve it. 

They are going to effect my XXXX XXXX if they continue to harass me and bully me to make these fraudulent payments. 

I have never missed a payment that went to collections in my adult life and again, had autopay on the whole time I actively used this account. 

This week I received two bills, after I had talked to someone at Chase who told me they'd refer it back to their fraud department. 

The bills were for $ XXXX and $ XXXX with no explanation of what their fraud department found. 

Again, over a year of nothing from them, and they are basically shaking me down for less than {$10.00}. 

I don't have the time or energy to dispute line by line charges from over 12 months ago, when they can't even tell me that a {$600.00} fraud transaction actually made it onto my bill. 

In summary, I closed this account and paid the bill and stopped using this card. Chase then sent me bills after my stop usage

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is inaccurately reporting a late payment on my account with XXXX XXXX ( Account XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), dated XX/XX/year>, in the amount of {$45000.00}. This is factually incorrect and a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have disputed this account multiple times, and each time TransUnion has refused to properly reinvestigate or provide any proof of the alleged delinquency. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, TransUnion is legally required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information. Instead, they continue to verify this late payment without producing any evidence from XXXX XXXX showing that I was actually late. A generic confirmation from a furnisher is not sufficient the law requires documentation and accuracy. TransUnion has failed to meet that burden. 

This false late payment has had devastating consequences. Because of this error, my creditworthiness has been severely impacted. I was denied refinancing on an existing loan that would have lowered my monthly payments and interest rate, directly costing me thousands of dollars in savings. I have been treated unfairly by lenders who rely on XXXX inaccurate reporting, and I have had to endure the embarrassment of explaining to creditors that the negative item is not even legitimate. Beyond the financial harm, the emotional toll has been significant it is frustrating, humiliating, and draining to be judged on false information that the law says must be reported accurately. 

The FCRA is clear : TransUnion must ensure maximum possible accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) and must not furnish inaccurate consumer reports to third parties ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). By reporting a false late payment, failing to reinvestigate properly, and continuing to allow this misinformation to harm me, TransUnion has directly violated these provisions.
