Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC

Complaint narrative:
First received a telephone call from Transworld Systems Inc stating I as trustee of my sister 's family trust owed them {$190.00}. I told them to send me something in mail and I'd review. They did try to get me to pay over the phone. I refused. 

Just received mail stating I owed {$190.00} to TSI as debt collector for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I called XXXX and the account referenced in the letter does not exist. I have not paid anything. I'm not aware of anything owed, this trust literally only has an insurance policy in it so it didn't make any sense, given everyone still alive. 

I believe this is fraud attempt to collect a debt that does not exist. When I called XXXX  I was told they do not send claims to TSI. I fear the public will pay and possibly turn over their information to this company. Letters and calls were pretty professional, I'm grateful I did not scan any QR codes, or get on their website.

Complaint narrative:
The Covid 19 Pandemic destroyed me personally as well as my business. I never requested any free money through the PPP program or through unemployment insurance payments. My business was shut down, out of business for XXXX full years. Your financial institution received millions of dollars for offset losses from either PPP funding or direct payments from the U.S. Department of Treasury. Yet I as a little part of the economy has suffered permanent destruction to her credit. This was and is unfair. I believe that your institution should dismiss my balance altogether. Your institution could send out a 1099C in exchange for the write-off. I see no other way out of my situation other than a XXXX  XXXX filing. I pray that your institution can see through my problem and extend to me a complete write-off from any current indebtedness. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
If I make a purchase and the funds are available the money comes directly out of my account but can remain in pending from 5 to 7 days but, if one transaction put my account into negative instead of charging me overdraft fee for the single transaction that causes my account to be overdrawn, they charged me overdraft fees for all transaction in pending, even though the funds were deducted from my account. Also if my account becomes overdrawn I'm supposed to get up to 3 days to bring my account updated, but there has been times where I would be charged overdraft fees the very next day. Wells Fargo owes me XXXX or more between both checking accounts in overdraft fees.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a matter concerning the reporting of a charge-off on my consumer report, which I believe violates federal regulations and established case law. Specifically, I am concerned that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) considers a charge-off as income, and as such, it should not be reported to any consumer reporting agency. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is essential that consumer reporting agencies furnish accurate and fair information regarding an individual 's creditworthiness. However, the reporting of a charge-off, which is treated as income by the XXXX  contradicts this requirement. The XXXX  has explicitly stated in various publications and guidelines that a charge-off is considered taxable income. For instance, in Publication XXXX ( " Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions, and Abandonments '' ), the XXXX  outlines that cancelled debts, including those resulting in a charge-off, are generally considered taxable income unless specific exceptions apply. This confirms that a charge-off is recognized as income by the XXXX  Furthermore, case law supports the notion that a charge-off should not be reported to consumer reporting agencies due to its classification as income. A notable case in this regard is the United States XXXX XXXX case of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX T.C. XXXX ( 1987 ). In this case, the court ruled that a cancelled debt, which resulted in a charge-off, was indeed taxable income and should be treated as such for tax purposes. This ruling establishes a precedent that aligns with the XXXX  ' classification of charge-offs as income. Given the XXXX XXXX  stance and the precedent set by relevant case law, it is evident that reporting a charge-off on a consumer report is erroneous and XXXX potentially mislead lenders and other entities assessing an individual 's creditworthiness. Therefore, I kindly demand that you take the necessary steps to rectify this issue and ensure that any reporting of a charge-off on my consumer report is promptly removed. I trust that you will address this matter in a timely and appropriate manner. Should you require any further information or documentation from me, please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact information listed on the account. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

An agent called me on XX/XX/24 to let me know that she would be glad to review all the information and take care of the issue. That agent called me back today to say that the change was made on the same date the payment was due and it was " MY '' responsibility to " tell '' the agent to make XXXX payments and not just XXXX -- the same agent that had my account on her screen as we talked on the phone while I was sitting in an airport -- the same agent that could have said XXXX XXXX, we need to make the XXXX payment too, because this change will not go into effect until XXXX.
