Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Starting on XX/XX/2021. Someone went into a Chase Bank in or near the suburb of XXXX to deposit for checks of XXXX and made a withdraw of XXXX. The checks were not written to anyone on the account and were not endorsed properly. We contacted Chase and file a dispute which was supposed to get settled because of the mistake of Chase Bank and potentially an employee ( s ) of theirs.I did not request nor was involved in that transaction and when Chase was informed, based on my experience, failed to investigate and remedy this situation. 

Next, according to the XXXX police department they came to my parents and sister place asking about this transaction and inferred we stolen or committed a crime. I am alleging that an employee or Chase bank gave my families and my personal information to the XXXX police department. The police did not have a warrant or any type of court order. How did the police get this type of information. I am requesting an investigation into all employees of Chase Bank who have access my account information and all information of my family connected to this account. Furthermore, Chase has not reached or mailed any type of information. The police departments have been targeting certain groups unfairly and this type of behavior from Chase, allegedly, is uncalled for.

I do not recall giving permission for the following companies : I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization, therefore my request is twofold and as follows ; Validation of Debt and HIPPA Authorization - Please provide a breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges - Provide a copy of my wet signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you - Cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me Please send this information to my mailing address listed above and accept this letter as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the FDCPA.

Additionally, and reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from your agency. I will await your reply with the above requested proof. Per the standard, you have 30 days in which to respond to this request, or this debt will be considered invalid, and removal from the credit bureaus expected or damages will be sought after.
