State: IN

Complaint narrative:
**Subject : Formal Complaint Against Chase Bank for Unfair Account Closure** **Dear Sir/Madam, ** I am writing to file a formal complaint against Chase Bank concerning the recent unjust closure of my business account. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am the owner of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Chase Bank informed me that my account is pending a 10-day closure due to alleged unusual activity, despite my compliance with all regulations and protocols.

Since 2020, I have been a victim of identity theft, and despite my efforts to secure my personal and business information, it is possible that someone still has access to my identifying details. I communicated this situation clearly to Chase Banks representatives, explaining the significant financial strain, stress, and crisis I am currently experiencing. 

As a business owner, this decision severely impacts my ability to manage my finances and maintain operations. XXXX XXXX XXXX relies on a stable banking relationship, and the abrupt closure of my account with such a prominent financial institution poses substantial challenges. It undermines my credibility and hampers my efforts to establish new banking relationships. 

Additionally, Chase Bank 's representatives have wrongly attributed all issues regarding transactions and disputes to my fault, without providing a proper investigation or justification. This is in clear violation of proper banking protocols and possibly the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) provisions. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) investigate this matter. Chase Bank has failed to acknowledge my unique situation and has proceeded with closing my account despite my repeated explanations and requests for reconsideration. 

This action by Chase Bank not only causes immediate financial hardship but also jeopardizes my businesss future. I seek your intervention to ensure that Chase Bank reconsiders their decision and provides a fair resolution to this issue. Should Chase Bank refuse to reconsider, I am prepared to pursue legal action, including filing a small claims court case or a class-action lawsuit against Chase Bank XXXX and I am determined to seek compensation for any misconceptions, discrimination, and litigation, aiming for up to {$1.00} XXXX USD in damages. 

For further information or to discuss this matter, I am available at XXXX. Thank you for your attention to this urgent complaint. I look forward to your prompt response. 

**Sincerely, ** XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
For years I was enrolled in some " debt protection '' program that was costing me close to $ XXXX. It shows up under my transactions as " XXXX ''. The Best Buy representatives told me this was apparently optional yet I was never given any option to sign up for it or cancel it. This is a scummy move on their part and a big reason why I can't ever get my balance any lower as even paying over the minimum due my balance never gets any lower due to that charge on top of their extremely high interest rates. So far today after calling them ( XX/XX/year> ) they've apparently " canceled '' any future charges for that charge and are supposed to be letting me know if they'll give me that money back ( I'll be shocked if they actually do ).

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My payment was due on XX/XX/year> and I paid the full {$100.00} on XX/XX/year>. The payment is fully processed in their system and the funds were removed my bank account. My account is showing past due by 6 days even though the payment was received prior to the due date. I called on Friday ( XX/XX/year> ) and was told that XXXX system showed I was fully paid and that the past due payment was a glitch on my side that would be resolved. I received an email on Sunday ( XX/XX/year> ) stating my account was past due. I called on Monday ( XX/XX/year> ) and was told that it was not a glitch and that my payment was received, just not allocated to my loans. I was told it would be fixed by XXXX on XXXX. On XXXX  ( XX/XX/year> ) my account was still showing past due and I called NelNet back and was told that it would be fixed by XXXX. I called back at XXXX and was told my request to allocate my payment was rejected and that I could not get a letter stating my account was not past due, because they incorrectly allocated my a payment making it past due, even though the payment itself was not past due and paid prior to the due date. This is a reporting error on XXXX side as the payment was made timely and they made an error with allocating the funds to the loan.
