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 reportin
g 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. ''

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
- Apparently, someone pretended to be me on XX/XX/XXXX and went to a Chase Branch in XXXX  and fraudly added an authorized user to my account without my consent. I still can not understand how this could happen and Chase authorized such transaction when Chase well knows that I live in XXXX and I have a banker assigned to me in XXXX Furthermore, I have not lost any piece of ID and I have been very diligent and have not shared any passwords nor used unsecure connections. Attached is proof of the account XXXX XXXXXXXX status before the theft. 
- The balance of my account XXXX XXXXXXXX was exactly {$86000.00} before the theft. 
- The thief made two unauthorized withdrawals from my account # XXXX in the amount of {$9800.00} and {$14000.00}. That left the account # XXXX at {$62000.00} ( XXXX minus {$9800.00} and {$14000.00} ). Attached is the bank statement as of the day of the theft, XX/XX/year>. 
- Such {$62000.00} ( which dont include neither the {$9800.00} nor {$14000.00} ) were transferred to a new account XXXX XXXXXXXX on XX/XX/year>. Attached is proof of the bank statement showing than only {$62000.00} were debited to our account XXXX XXXXXXXX on XX/XX/year>. 
- On XX/XX/year> XXXX reversed the first amount of {$9800.00} and we received this amount on our account XXXX XXXXXXXX. See attached the statement. 
- After XX/XX/year>, I have been chasing the remaining {$14000.00} unsuccessfully. I have been trying to get a solution from XXXX XXXX ( banker assigned to us in XXXX in XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) but she has been most unhelpful and even stopped answering my emails. I personated the branch several times to file the theft and ID theft claims and follow any other steps that were required from me. I also called Chase phone lines several times ( unsuccessfully ) and while Chase recognizes the issue and I am told that I will be refunded, I never got the money as of today.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Good afternoon, I need help please. I have a credit card with PenFed Credit Union which I rarely used for balance transfer purchases, the card is secured in my home safe. In XXXX ofXX/XX/XXXXI received email about a min pmt due when I knew there was no balance on the card for a long time. When I checked my card I saw one transaction with XXXX for {$150.00}. Nothing before, nothing after. I immediately called to report and the agent said they opened a case and issued a new card. 

Ever since that day, my XXXX started. I am getting calls, texts, emails and letters daily for payment. I call in every few days. Today I have discovered that noone has opened the case, noone reported fraud transaction. I was bounced around the departments and am on hold for 1.5 hours to talk to yet another department. This can't be happening in a financial institution inXX/XX/XXXX I even wanted to pay the damned amount just to make it stop but my wife said you should fight it even with the most incompetent financial institution. One thing I worry about is that they will send me for collections and ruin my credit. I can't wait to get this over with, cancel and want everyone to avoid this place like a plague. 

Please, let me know what I can possible do to resolve. 
Thank you

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Due to increasing costs such as rent, food, energy, etc., I've fallen behind on my Discover credit card. They've sent me threatening letters saying I must pay a certain amount before a date or they'll call their lawyer. I made the payment they said they needed to avoid submission to their lawyer, and they immediately sent me a new similar letter this time with an amount of XXXX of dollars ( ~ {$2000.00} ) with the same due date. I called them, and they misled me. I was told I could get a 72-month plan with a .09 % interest rate, and I told them I'd call back. When I called back, it was a different, less attractive plan with only 60-month terms and higher monthly. Discover is not working in good faith with me, and they're trying to make life more difficult to get the maximum amount of money out of me. This Discover and their industry and the government regulators are out of control with an almost % 30 % interest rate! When I signed up, the interest rate was not this high, and now I'm being held to this ridiculous standard that the government and credit card industry are all working me into. I want them to stop playing games with me.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding multiple violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I demand immediate correction and removal of the following inaccurate and unverified information from my credit report : 1. Invalid and Unverified Debt ( FDCPA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1692g, I am disputing the listed accounts as they have not been properly validated under the FDCPA. Your failure to provide legal validation means you can not report or collect on these accounts, and they must be removed immediately.

2. Incorrect Late Payment Remarks ( FCRA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1666b, I am disputing inaccurate late payment remarks on the following accounts. These accounts were paid on time, and the false reporting of late payments is a violation of FCRA and TILA. I demand that these remarks be removed immediately to ensure the accuracy of my credit file.

3. Unauthorized Hard Inquiries ( FCRA Violations ) I have reviewed my credit report and found multiple hard inquiries that I did not authorize. According to FCRA regulations, if an inquiry was not explicitly authorized by me, it must be removed immediately.

Additionally, I have already filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under Reference Number : XXXX regarding these violations. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action to protect my rights. 

I expect a written response and correction within the legally required timeframe. Failure to comply may result in additional legal consequences.
