Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
around XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to use my Chase card and found out it had been canceled without my consent by a customer rep who I had talked to a few days earlier. I called and bitterly complained. The card was reinstated.

Subsequently, I wrote a letter to the CEO of Chase and copies to other departments. I received an email 4 weeks ago saying that they have received my complaint. However, that was the only and last communication. Since then I have called Chase only to be shuffled around and not called back.

At this point, Chase has lowered my credit score when they went to approve me but are forcing me to go elsewhere. 
I want a repair to my credit score ( the ding was minor since I already have a good score, but it still was unnecessary ) and I want someone in the EXECUTIVE office ( not a lowly rep who has no power and will just try to placate me ) to call me back.

Complaint narrative:
Ive filed a dispute to correct and remove an account thats more then 7 years old twice and it keeps getting denied. Its been 3 times already and Ive called them several times and the most recent time as of XXXX  Equifax is saying the account is not showing a date of last delinquency. I know the account itself is old and Ive reached out to XXXX and they told me theres nothing that they can do about it. If theyre denying the dispute then they have to know the date of last delinquency so Im not sure why this account from XXXX XXXX can not be deleted from my report. Ive tried several times and waited for months to end up constantly going in circles about this. I just would like this off of my credit report so I can continue to build and fix my credit. But this hinders me even though its old. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Costco Citicard but decided I did not need it. I tried to close the account and thought I did ; however, later found out it was not closed. I tried contacting Citi bank multiple times but could not ever talk to a person or understand the phone prompt. Thinking the account was closed I did not realize there was a balance. Because of this, Citi was charging me late fees and interest. They sent threatening letters that made me realize it was not closed and the card had a balance. I feel like Citi discriminated against me and took advantage of me because of my age and not being able to access information on the phone or website. So now a {$110.00} charge has blown up into a {$190.00} bill.
