Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I had been a Chase credit card holder without interruption for more than 20 years with few, if any, missed payments. 

I was on an extended trip overseas when I lost my Chase Freedom card. When I returned home I received a letter from Chase Bank stating that since my account had been inactive they would close my account if I did not respond by the established date ( beginning of XX/XX/2023 ). 

I called Chase Bank and requested a new card in XXXX a week before the deadline. I received the new card and attempted to activate it immediately ; however, I was told my account had been closed. 

It seemed illogical to close someone's account while a new card was en route to them, so I requested that the account be reinstated. Chase refused and encouraged me to open a new account instead. I insisted on having the matter escalated and provided appropriate call back times. 

I received XXXX voice messages, both of which were not at times when I stated I would be available. I returned the calls a number of times, but was never able to speak with anyone. I also received a written notice that the decision to close the account was final. This does not occur as fair or reasonable account handling on the part of Chase. 

I responded to the letter within the set time frame and yet my account was closed anyhow. Losing one of my oldest credit relationships was detrimental to my credit score and credit history. 

There is an obvious flaw in the operation of account closures as it should not be possible to terminate an account for inactivity when there is a pending card delivery.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate bankruptcy information that has been reported on my credit file. The bankruptcy reported is erroneous and can not be verified through reliable sources. I have diligently contacted Experian, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to validate the bankruptcy they are reporting, and each has confirmed they received their information from the Bankruptcy Court. 

However, according to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, they explicitly state they do not report information to any XXXXredit reporting agency, as they lack jurisdiction over such reporting activities. This discrepancy indicates that the bankruptcy on my credit report is not valid and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am enclosing a link to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court 's statement verifying they do not report or validate any information to credit reporting agencies, as instructed by their customer service, to support my dispute. Therefore, the information on my credit reports did not originate from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and can not be validated through legitimate sources.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Notice of Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Compliance Violation of Ohio FCRA Identity Theft Fraud Laws Dear WELLS FARGO CARD SER, I am writing to address a serious issue regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, which violates both federal and Ohio state laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as Ohio Revised Code Sections 1349.19 and 1349.191, and identity theft laws, specifically Ohio Revised Code Section 2913.49.

It has come to my attention that WELLS FARGO CARD SER has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly requires consumer consent for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Ohio state law, specifically Ohio Revised Code Section 1349.19, mandates that consumer consent is essential for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 1349.191 of the Ohio Revised Code establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity theft laws, such as Ohio Revised Code Section 2913.49, underscore the seriousness of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert unequivocally that I have not provided consent for WELLS FARGO CARD SER to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a clear violation of my rights, potentially harming my creditworthiness and disregarding federal and state laws. 

I demand, with absolute certainty, that WELLS FARGO CARD SER immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Ohio Revised Code Sections 1349.19 and 1349.191. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft laws. 

Obtaining consent is not optional but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Ohio state law, and identity theft laws. This is not negotiable ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I expect your immediate attention to this matter and prompt rectification of these violations, respecting my rights under federal and Ohio state laws. 

Done in good faith,

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful.

And makes all sorts of fraudulent excuses regarding nonpayment of the advertised {$200.00} statement credit cash reward. Please see their attached advertisement to that effect.
