Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.

Complaint narrative:
In early XXXX, I was affected by a natural disaster, which severely impacted my financial situation and my ability to maintain regular payments. Upon contacting Chase in XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that I qualified for the natural disaster relief program and that my payments would not be reported as late due to this hardship. I followed all necessary steps and provided the requested information to be placed under this program. 
Despite this, when I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that Chase had reported my payments for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX as late across all three major credit bureaus. Additionally, I was charged interest and late fees, even though I was supposed to be covered under the disaster relief program. This reporting is inaccurate and does not align with the terms I was provided.
