Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, Chase notified me that all my Chase accounts will be closed on XX/XX/XXXX. They refuse to explain why they made this decision both via phone and personally in the branch. I am very confused, as I believe I have done everything according to the rules, and even if they close my accounts I would like to understand the situation and learn from this lesson to prevent it happening in the future. 

I am a XXXX citizen, and engaged with US banking first in XXXX when relocating to the XXXX. I have been constantly employed ever since, and my employer deposited over 300.000 USD to my Chase XXXX Checking account. My credit score improved a lot as well over the years, going from low 600s to 750+, I have never had a late payment and my credit utilization is XXXX % on average. 

I have recently received a credit limit increase and also a salary increase, so I really do not understand why they decided to close my accounts. 

I would appreciate any help! 
Thank you

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery Associates has been reporting that I owe them money on my credit report. Before this, I have never heard of this company or ever done business with them. I have been writing to both the credit bureau and Portfolio Recovery to have this debt removed from my credit report. In order for this debt to stay on my credit report, Portfolio Recovery continuously approves or update the status that I owe this debt. But how? They have yet to substantiate or validate this debt according to FDCPA requirements. They have not shown any documentation with my signature on it in agreement with their company, They have not shown how they calculated this debt, or even where this debt orginated from with THEIR business.This is unfair and by far detrimental to my credit. They are in violation of both FCRA and FDCPA act.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My Chase business account was closed without my knowledge sometime in early XXXX. 

It has now been over a month of calls with the Chase Fraud Department and visits to branches as directed by the fraud department and Chase is still holding {$1900.00} of my money hostage. The fraud department says I have to prove the checks that were canceled were mine in order to release the funds in my account ( even though the account balance is not funded from the canceled checks ). 

All return check fees were payed from my account. All funds from the checks that were sent back were still in the account when they were returned. In other words, I dont owe Chase any money.

I also provided proof that the checks that were canceled were indeed written to me. But now they are saying the person that wrote the check needs to come with me to the branch in order to get my money. 
The checks are cashier 's checks written by the XXXX  of New York. Brining the comptroller of XXXX into the bank with me is not possible. 
And besides all that.. the funds in the account are NOT from these checks that they are harassing me over. 
the account is closed. I do not want to do business with them. all I want is my money. simple.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
CAPITAL ONE BANK account on my credit report was tagged to be LATES/CHARGE OFF with no specific date of showing the late status. The payment history is incomplete and with so many errors in the date of last activity, date opened, etc. The entire remarks for this account are a big error. Thus, I am doubting that the Bureaus have conducted a proper investigation. Moreover, I have been sending them written complaints and requests and they failed to give me feedback.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I reported to my local police department a Identity Theft Complaint and Affidavit. 

On XX/XX/2022 I forwarded a copy of my Identity Theft Complaint and Affidavit to TransUnion XXXX and XXXX by USPS certified mail. 

On XX/XX/2022 I forwarded a requested Affidavit statement to TransUnion XXXX and XXXX that confirmed that I have been a victim of identity theft and the listed accounts, inquiries and information was inaccurate dute to identity theft. 

On XX/XX/2022 I forwarded a second Affidavit statement to TransUnion XXXX and XXXX that confirmed that I have been a victim of identity theft and the listed accounts, inquiries and information was inaccurate dute to identity theft. 

I also referred to 15 USC 1681c ( 2 ) in which a consumer reporting agency shall block any information that is resulting from identity theft from the consumer no later than ( 4 ) business days from the receipt notice of the consumer. 

TransUnion XXXX and XXXX has failed to block all of the information from my consumer report that was the result of identity theft. All consumer reporting received the required documents as listed by federal law, and my consumer report still reflects inaccurate information due to identity theft.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I've just spent the last 3 hours at a Bank of America branch at XXXX XXXX and XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Ca. The business transaction that I initially visited the branch to complete was not accomplished in a timely manner due to my Business accountnot being labeledproperly. I opened XXXX XXXX ) business accounts online in XX/XX/2020. I sent all required documents showing me as the business owner. Today, I went into the branch to process a wire transfer. Upon attempting to verify my information as the business owner, I was advised that the account was owned by my spouse and I was listed as an " employee ''. Once I pointed out the direct deposits received are paid to the order of myself and ( not ) my husband, she understood but did not attempt to offer a resolution thatwould resolve the mistake made by " the back office ''. I've spoken with business banking over the phone on numerous occasions and was never advised that I was not the owner of my accounts. 

Then, I was advised that I would not be able to proceed with my businesstransaction unless my spouse visited the branch in person. So, I stated the account should not have initially been in my spouse 's name, seeing as though he is " not '' on any of the corporation paperwork. I also had to advise them that I am a XXXX business owner and I did not feel comfortable with continuing to do business with your bank or entrusting any additional business to their banks. 

I own a residence near this location and was considering refinancing my home and cars with your bank. I no longer have faith that their banks will securely handle my securities. In my 25 years of customer service experience, never would I imagine going through this type of ordeal and exhausting ( 3 ) hours of my day attempting to fix the issue and wire funds. 

Your immediate attention to this matter is appreciated. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, ILS ( XXXX ) XXXX
