Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I was deceived by an imposter for XXXX XXXX, a hiring manager for XXXX XXXX XXXX, conducted an interview and hired me with a signed contract for a position in procurement. He told me to make payments for his vendors to deliver electronics for the new position working remotely. 
Someone posing as an employer spent the last 7 days online with me, conducted a 2 hour job interview, made a job offer, and hired me. He then requested I submit money to a vendor to buy a work computer and printer for my usage working from home. He hired me to work for XXXX XXXX as a procurement specialist, along with a written job offer and job description given. Through mobile banking, I submitted a check he emailed, under the guise of buying these electronics. He instructed I pay out 4 accounts, which I did through XXXXXXXX bank XXXX He contacts me through XXXX app, and is waiting for me to cash the next deposited check. {$8400.00} Total amount given to me by check, and was instructed to make $ XXXX  in online XXXX  payments. 
Chase Bank told me the checks were drawn off a closed account. I ask Why were the checks cleared then? They should not have been. 
The scammer is posing as XXXX XXXX, a hiring manager and investor communicating with me for the last 5 days. Job offer arrived by email from XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX. I have saved the email communication, XXXX  app communication, and screen shots of the bank transactions on my computer. I only chatted and emailed with " XXXX '' but no voice or zoom meetings, and never spoke to anyone. He asked me to make a XXXX payment, but it appeared to never go through. I did a stop-payment for XXXX, but XXXX paid it anyway for {$1000.00} with my consent. Unusual activity was on the XXXX communication. 
It looks like the sensitive information he obtained was my Social Security number, home address, last 4 digits of my banking account, and my signature.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, my Synchrony bank Ashley Furniture credit card was charged ~ {$500.00} for a purchase that I did not make. Ashley Furniture told me that it was in Synchrony 's hands because they can not prove that I made the purchase ( since the charge was fraudulent ). Synchrony told me that they would dispute it and send it to the fraud department. The fraud department refunded the account and created a new account for me so that I could pay off what I owed on a previous purchase I DID make. Once I paid the card off, I tried to close the account by calling. They informed me that I still had charges on the account and the previous fraudulent charges magically migrated to the new account. Again, Synchrony sent it to be disputed, but this time ruled in favor of Ashley Furniture since I could not provide a receipt ( for something I never purchased ). I have since been trying to resolve this issue every couple of months hoping for them to right their wrong and just remove the fraudulent charge. Now on XX/XX/XXXX, I am still getting calls from Synchrony ( mind you, for some reason, I've yet to be sent to collections for this ) and when I threatened to get a lawyer involved, they claimed to have a purchase order but could not tell me whose name was on it, how much it was for, etc. When I told them that I never signed a purchase order and this was the first time this has been mentioned, they put me on hold for about an hour before I had to hang up because I am currently XXXX and had to work.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint narrative:
Fraudulent charge of {$920.00} was made on XX/XX/2021 to a Citi card previously held by me. I reported the fraud to Citi on XX/XX/2021. Citi cancelled the card on which the fraudulent charge was made and issued a new one but moved the fraudulent charge to the newly issued card. I received a letter dated XX/XX/2021 stating that my account had been credited and would be reversed in 2 business days. To date, Citi has failed to credit the account and remove the charge. Furthermore, they have assessed late fees and finance charges ( and continue ) on the fraudulent charge amount disputed and reported me as a delinquent account to credit agencies. To date, Citi has failed to resolve and remove the fraudulent charge and all related charges from my account. They have also failed to retract their erroneous reporting regarding my account to the credit agencies. To date, they continue their threatening attempts to coerce me into paying the fraudulent charge and related amounts charged to the account.

Hello my name is XXXX XXXX, I am writing to delete the following information in my file. The items I need deleted are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft and I did not make the charge. I ask that the items be deleted to correct my credit. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and I have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit please delete these items as soon as possible. Based on, 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of the receipt. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me with a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. It has been 30 days and you are in VIOLATION of this law because I am a victim of identity theft!! I demand the following accounts be verified or removed immediately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
1. I've have requested that Experian delete XXXX XXXX from the consumer file concerning me 2 times ( XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022 ) and requested full 609 disclosure of my consumer file each time. Experian in is violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I provided them with a copy of my ID and a utility bill and they have ignored me twice. I even notified Experian through their registered agent in New Jersey, so they can not say they did not receive my request and dispute. 
2. Experian has never responded to my dispute letters or even noted this account as being disputed. 
3. Experian was supposed to send me the full 609 disclosure of everything in my consumer file within 15 days of my 609 request and they have failed or refused to do it. I requested written copies. 
4. XXXX XXXX is not even a legal entity in Nevada or New Jersey. I have submitted proof of this with my dispute letters and Experian still refuses to delete this inaccurate in tradeline from my consumer file and consumer reports. I am including the same proof with this complaint. 

Failure of an entity to be registered to do business in my state or the state they are supposedly organized in is a violation of my rights and prevents me from being able to bring suit against them. I am being damaged by Experian allowing this inaccurate account that is not 100 % accurate to be in my consumer file or my consumer reports. Experian is required by law to ensure maximum possible accuracy which is 100 %.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2021 I filed a dispute with XXXX because their bureau was still reporting that a Capital One account that I am an authorized user on had been closed. In reality, the account was open. In the dispute I asked XXXX to verify that the account is open with Capital One. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One received a notification from XXXX that I was disputing this account. Capital One initiated a dispute investigation and responded to XXXX, asking them to delete the account from my credit profile, instead of telling XXXX that the account was open. This is not the outcome I wanted. More than four months have gone by and XXXX will not reinstate the account until Capital One reaches out to verify that the account is open. 

I would like Capital One to contact XXXX to let them know this account was deleted in error and I would like Capital One to verify that I am an authorized user on this account, and to include it on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
EQUIFAX BROKE THE LAW. I sent a FTC Identity Theft Report and all requirements for the removal of 4 fraudulent accounts and hard inquiries reporting on my credit report. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2, EQUIFAX had 4 business days to delete the information from my report, and EQUIFAX failed to delete all of them. Only one was deleted. It is WAY past the 4 business days from receipt of receiving the documents. I further received a letter in the mail stating they are not honoring my request for the deletion. It was not a request it was a demand that I am entitled to as a federally protected consumer. I did everything I needed to do in accordance to federal law.
