Complaint narrative:
The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living and my ability to obtain credit for personal house purposes, and is cause actual damages. 

According to FDCPA 1006.30A/New Rule REGULATION F and its new rule by parking this alleged debt on my consumer reports. 

I am reaching out to XXXX in regards to this account and I am receiving vague communication and was emailed a letter on XX/XX/2023 stating they received information that " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. 

This letter is in response to your recent claim that Portfolio  Account # : XXXX / PORTFOLIO RC Account # : XXXX has verified that the account they are reporting under my name is accurate. I noticed on my Consumer Report that this company is reporting this account TWICE under two different names, one is named Portfolio and the other is called Portfolio RC.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
As a customer, I respectfully disagree with the response provided by JPMC regarding the late payment reporting on my credit card account ending in XXXX. While I appreciate their response and willingness to assist, I believe there are valid reasons why the late payments should be removed from my credit history. 

Firstly, I have spoken with the credit reporting agencies, and they have acknowledged that late payments related to COVID-19 hardships should not negatively impact my credit history. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused financial difficulties for many individuals, and the government and financial institutions have recognized this by implementing various relief measures. It is essential for JPMC, as a responsible lender, to take into account the exceptional circumstances brought on by the pandemic when reporting late payments. 

Secondly, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) emphasizes accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. While the Cardmember Agreement may state that JPMC can provide information to credit reporting agencies, it is equally crucial for them to ensure that the information furnished is accurate and up-to-date. If there were extenuating circumstances, such as those caused by the pandemic, that led to the late payments, it is only fair that these be considered when reporting to credit bureaus. 

Moreover, Regulation P ( Privacy of Consumer Financial Information ) does not supersede the FCRA 's requirements for accurate credit reporting. Both regulations should be interpreted and applied in a manner that upholds consumers ' rights and protects their financial well-being. Reporting late payments caused by circumstances beyond the consumer 's control, such as COVID-19, is not in line with the spirit of fairness and accuracy promoted by these regulations.

I understand that JPMC has received a dispute from the credit reporting agencies regarding my account. However, it is my right as a consumer to communicate directly with JPMC regarding my credit reporting concerns. Ignoring direct correspondence from customers can hinder open communication and resolution of disputes.

In light of the above arguments, I kindly request that JPMC reevaluates its decision and removes the late payments from my credit history. I believe this is not only fair but also in accordance with the FCRA and the guidelines set forth during the pandemic to protect consumers from undue harm to their creditworthiness.

I look forward to a positive resolution on this matter and request that a response be provided directly to me to ensure effective communication and transparency in this process. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope we can reach an agreeable solution promptly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I tried to open a checking account with Chase in mid XXXX. I tried to make transfers into the account throughout late XXXX and XXXX, but my transfers repeatedly were rejected. It was to the point where I was going to get charged a fee for not having an account balance despite REPEATEDLY trying to make valid transfers. I went into the branch, called Chase XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23, XX/XX/23, so many times on different numbers. I was told by a chase representative that it was simply NOT possible to make external transfers into chase ( false ), which lead to me asking them to eventually close my account. At the time that I asked them to close my account, my balance was XXXX, so I thought, no problems. However, 3 weeks after this call, the account is STILL not closed, and my transfers are going through. So then I have $ XXXX in the account and it is openappears account is not being closed after all. On XX/XX/23, 3 weeks after my last call to Chase, suddenly the account disappears from the website, it is closed, and it says the XXXX is withdrawn. I go into the bank and work with the banker, they call the closings line, who says they have NO idea why the account a ) didn't close when I originally went through, b ) then stayed open and MULTIPLE {$1000.00} transfers went through, c ) then closed arbitrarily 3 weeks later with no notice and d ) where exactly the {$2000.00} has gone. They can not even tell me whether they have mailed me a check and if so where to ( I informed them I do not have residence at my mailing address and CAN NOT receive a check there ). This is absurd behavior by a bank that I literally pay to have a card open on. I feel that Chase stole {$2000.00} from me simply by " not knowing '' what they were doing and having no knowledge of how their own internal banking processes worked. Additionally, while my account was held open for 3 weeks after I made the call, Chase allowed my transfers but did not make my funds available for WEEKS- which I am pretty sure is illegal, without a reasonable hold reason they should not be able to simply hold my funds for that many business days. I have been trying to resolve this issue with Chase for a month and a half at this point and have seen NO resolution.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice for you to cease making unauthorized hard inquiries into my credit report, and a formal demand that you immediately instruct XXXX ( and any other applicable credit bureaus ) to remove your illegal inquiries from my credit report. Please note that I WILL be checking my credit report next month to ensure you have had the following unauthorized inquiries removed : XXXXSEE ATTACHED DOC* To the best of my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing your company to pull my credit, which means you are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 1681b ( c ) : Transactions Not Initiated by Consumer.

Otherwise, if you are in possession of any document that has authorized your company to make inquiries into my credit report or proves any type of permissible purpose ( as outlined in FCRA Sec. 1681b ) then I request that a copy of any such document is immediately mailed to my address listed above so that I may review it.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
This complaint pertains to XXXX and the Consumer Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. The issues involve a breach of fiduciary duty in a implied trust relationship, unauthorized practice of law, and failure to provide opt-out notices and disclosures for non-affiliated third parties. All these are in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, the Trustee Indenture Act of 1939, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and other laws. 

Starting from around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, along with the above-mentioned CRAs, began reporting nonpublic personal information about me to non-affiliated third-party consumer reporting agencies without offering me a notice of the right to opt out. This has led to a negative impact on my credit score, which in turn has caused housing and credit denials, as well as lost entrepreneurial opportunities. 

Specifically, the involved entities did not provide a clear and conspicuous disclosure that such information may be disclosed to third parties, nor did they give me the opportunity to direct that such information should not be disclosed, as required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Title 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ). 

In response, I issued a pre-arbitration demand notice on XX/XX/XXXX, to XXXX and the CRAs ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ). The notice clarified my position as the implied surety of a federally protected consumer in an implied trust relationship with their organizations. Despite this, my dispute has not been satisfactorily resolved. 

As a result of the unauthorized disclosure, I have suffered emotional distress, insomnia, disruption to mental clarity, and opportunity loss, quantifiable at {$110000.00} USD. I am also claiming damages of {$1000.00} USD per monthly reporting instance per party for a reporting disclosure period of two months in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. 

If my dispute is not resolved within 5 days from the notice date, I will proceed with arbitration. I request the CFPB 's intervention in this matter to rectify these violations and to ensure the protection of my rights as a consumer. 

I am eager to cooperate and provide further information as required. Please find attached the original complaint notice sent to XXXX and the CRAs for your reference.
