I have grounds to dispute these charges in my favor for the following reasons : Charge Error A charge error is a transaction you recognize but appears to be incorrect, such as : A recurring transaction or trial subscription you canceled FRAUDULENT POLICY CANCELLED XX/XX/XXXX A product or service you never received or received late FRAUDULENT POLICY FOR SERVICES WAS NEVER RENDERED. 
A one-time purchase you returned or canceled, and you still havent received a credit SPOKE TO CHASE THREE TIMES TO STOP PAYMENT A charge higher than the amount on your receipt FRAUDULENT POLICY CHARGED WAS NOT AS SAME AS FRAUDULENT POLICY UNDERWRITTEN FOR A product or service you received and are dissatisfied with FRAUDULENT POLICY I have spent many hours working on this issue. I will be filing a complaint with the consumer protection financial bureau ( CFPB ) and the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) if Chase does not return my funds. I should also be entitled to compensation for the finance charges associated with these fraudulent charges. 

I appreciate your time and effort in looking into this matter.
