State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I attended a Small Claims lawsuit hearing brought against me by Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC, represented by XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the Small Claims document it states that I owe {$810.00} and this is a different amount from what PRA said I owe previously. In addition, I am concerned because the telephone number on the Small Claims document is not mine. It is an Iowa number and I have never lived in Iowa. I asked that PRA verify this and provide proof that this was my phone number. I asked that he have PRA present ALL documents related to the debt PRA says I owe that is, proof that PRA indeed owns the debt and showing that the debt is mine and that I formally deny that the debt is mine. PRA can not demand payment for a debt they can't prove they own. He said XXXX XXXX would me validation of debt package ( XXXX  ). In addition, I am XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  and my only income my Social Security monthly benefit. Since XXXX I have only received 2 hardship documents asking me to sign them and send back. Why 2 of the same forms dated 1 week apart? their record keeping is suspect in my opinion. I believe PRA does own all the documents pertaining to this debt they claim that I owe. My XXXX  credit report does not show a last date of payment which would invoke Massachusetts XXXX of 6 years. I have all cancelled checks and originals bills in my possession. Something is awry here!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card provided by Chase Bank. I'm paying regularly via a bank account. In XXXX of XXXX the bank I'm using to pay this card changed my information and gave me a new account number and new routing number. 

I am able to pay other debts with this new information ( e.g. XXXX XXXX card ) but for some reason Chase Bank will not permit me to create an ACH transaction using my new information. Chase Bank representatives tell me that the account I am trying to use has been " blocked '' in their system. They tell me that a transaction attempting to use this account information was " rejected '' by my bank in XXXX of XXXX ( three years before I had this account ). They tell me that they have the account on records as a Savings account ( it's actually a checking account ) and that this account can not be used for ACH transactions. 

Chase is telling me that I must receive a form from them, submit the form to my bank, and have my bank request that Chase remove the " block '' on the account. The bank in question is part of the XXXX money transfer system and I have suspicions that Chase is just trying to make it harder for those of us with XXXX accounts as the XXXX service arbitrages traditional international money transfer. 

For my bank 's part, I've contacted XXXX and they've never heard of such a form, they've confirmed that this account has only been in force since XXXX of XXXX, and they have no record of a transaction being declined to Chase.
