Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to bring to your immediate attention a serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) committed by JPMorgan Chase Bank ( JPMCB ), specifically regarding the furnishing of a credit report to consumer reporting agencies that contains transactions and experiences, which includes a reported balance, available credit, high credit, credit limit, balance, and highest balance. I, as a consumer, adamantly assert that such actions of furnishing negative information is causing substantial economic harm to myself and my household. As a result, I have suffered various harms, including the denial of new credit and increases in lines of credit. This invasion of my privacy has caused reputational, emotional, physical, and economic harm. 

I wrote a notarized letter to JPMCB on XXXX XXXX via certified mail [ # XXXX ], which was received on XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX  concerning this issue. I referred to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( f ) and requested their general or specific certification pursuant to Rule 1002, as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( a ) to furnish information on my consumer reports. Additionally, I requested that JPMCB provides me with the tracking number and certified mail receipt of the notice of negative information that was to be provided to me, in writing, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) within the timeframe established by 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( B ), prior to JPMCB furnishing any negative information on my consumer reports, also pursuant Rule 1002.

To date, I have not received any of these documents. Failure to provide this documentation is an indication that JPMCB has violated 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( a ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( f ). This would also indicate that 15 U.S. Code 1681q is applicable, which is tantamount to 18 U.S.C. 1028A. Under this provision, JPMCB is liable for damages pursuant 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ).

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
