Complaint narrative:
Chase Bank is the issuer of my XXXX Credit card. 

Chase has been sending me emails stating that they will automatically enroll my credit card in XXXX- without my permission, if " I '' don't contact them to request that my account and Credit Cards Not be linked to the XXXX service. They say it is on ME to contact them to stop it, if I don't want XXXX, otherwise I will be enrolled! 

I did not know what XXXX was, so I clicked on the link Chase provided to get " More Information ''. The moment I clicked the " More Info '' link, I was signed up. It took me nearly an hour after that to get Chase Customer Service to stop the unauthorized enrollment, at which point I was told that I was no longer going to be enrolled, and need not worry about it in future.

Until yesterday, when I received Another email - identical to the first, stating that it is incumbent upon ME to stop them, otherwise I will be enrolled in XXXX - Again! 

Is this Legal? XXXX says it's NOT! I say it's Wrong - Legal, or no, & I would very much like this to STOP! I've spent an hour on the phone with these people, over multiple phone calls, trying to STOP them, but while each call ends with assurances that it's over, and not to worry - soon after, I get another email, saying the same thing, and the Customer Service person looks into it, only to find out it is going to go through if I don't stop them. Not Cool! Criminal? Please help.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up request regarding my ongoing dispute with XXXX  about the inaccurate reporting of my XXXX  student loan account. This account is currently under active investigation with XXXX  and has been acknowledged as in forbearance. Despite this, XXXX  continues to report missed or late payments, which is inaccurate and damaging to my credit profile. 

To clarify : XXXX  and XXXX  have already removed the same account from their reports after reviewing my documentation and confirming the forbearance status. 
XXXX  has confirmed that the account is in forbearance and under investigation, meaning no payments should be reported as missed. 
XXXX continued reporting is inconsistent with both federal guidance and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements for accuracy and fairness.
