Complaint narrative:
Discovering that I have been a victim of identity theft has been an incredibly stressful and upsetting experience. My personal information was used without my consent, resulting in unauthorized accounts and transactions appearing on my credit reportaccounts I have no knowledge of or connection to. Taking immediate action, I filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) as advised by Equifax and submitted it in hopes of resolving the issue and having these fraudulent items removed. Despite my efforts, these false entries remain on my credit report, continuing to affect my financial stability and peace of mind.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I have been unable to use my JP Morgan Chase credit card. I contacted the bank this evening and was told that they have a policy of putting a block on credit cards that have a payment due until several days after the payment is made. This is an unfair practice because consumers pay for credit cards so that they can use them XXXX  days a year. The new Chase policy adversely affects a the entire class of customers who use their credit cards. Here is the message I received on XXXX  today from Chase : XXXX, XXXX! Thank you for your payment. We're sorry for any inconvenience if the credit is not available right away. When you make a large credit card payment, a hold is placed on the payment to verify the funds are available before applying the full amount to your balance. This practice allows time for the funds to clear from the originating bank before fully applying them to the account. 

We appreciate your business, and glad to be of service. XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.
