Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Frost-Arnett Company
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received a collection notice from Frost-Arnett regarding an alleged medical debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/year>, I sent them a certified debt validation request under the FDCPA and XXXX XXXX XXXX. The letter was delivered to their XXXX XXXX. XXXX on XX/XX/year>, per XXXX return receipt. 

Despite this, Frost-Arnett contacted me by phone on XX/XX/year>, and continued to pressure me to confirm personal details. I reminded them on the call that I had sent a certified validation request and that they were not allowed to continue collection activity until they responded in writing. 

As of now, they have not sent any written validation. This is a clear violation of my rights under the FDCPA ( 15 USC 1692g ) and Texas state law. Im asking the CFPB to hold them accountable and stop any further collection activity unless they validate the debt as required.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Chase has a credit card promotion with XXXX, the hotel group. Before I had a chance to use the card, they had already charged the annual fee. Because I have multiple Chase credit cards, I can view the charge online on my dashboard ; however, I have never received the card. I set up autopay on all my credit cards, so the annual fee was paid. However, I did not have the physical credit card to make purchases, which allowed me to earn the XXXX points as advertised. 
I have spoken with Chase several times about the situation. They have declined to refund the annual fee for something I have not used and I will not use. 
I believe this is an unfair business practice that takes advantage of consumers from the largest bank in the country.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

paypal email : XXXX I am writing to formally complain about the limitation and repeated holding of my PayPal account funds. 

My account under the email XXXX was limited over XXXX days ago. At the time, I was informed that my funds would be held for XXXX  days and then made available for withdrawal. I patiently waited for that period to end, but to my surprise, I was recently informed that the funds will be held for another XXXX days without any clear explanation. 

I have already contacted your support team multiple times, but I have not received a reasonable justification or resolution. The responses I received lacked clarity and did not provide any actionable solution. 

At this point, I respectfully request that you review my case and release the funds for withdrawal immediately, as the original XXXX holding period has already passed, and no disputes or chargebacks are pending to my knowledge. 

Please take this matter seriously and escalate it if necessary. I would appreciate a clear and detailed response. 

Thank you for your attention.
