Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Failure of Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to Comply with FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear CFPB, I am submitting this formal complaint against the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies Experian Information Solutions , Inc. , Equifax Information Services LLC , and TransUnion LLC for their failure to comply with federal law in removing fraudulent information from my credit reports.

I am a victim of identity theft and a data breach, documented by a valid FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report, both of which have been submitted to these agencies. Despite this, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion continue to report fraudulent and inaccurate information.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), consumer reporting agencies are required to block information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report and supporting documentation. The agencies refusal or failure to act constitutes a direct violation of this law.

Furthermore : FCRA 607 ( b ) requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Metro 2 compliance standards prohibit the furnishing or reporting of data that does not accurately reflect the consumers liability.

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and compel Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to : Immediately block and remove all fraudulent accounts, inquiries, and tradelines associated with my identity theft.

Provide me with corrected credit reports reflecting accurate information.

Notify all furnishers and recipients of my credit files of the corrections, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( d ).

Enclosures provided : FTC Identity Theft Report Police Report documenting identity theft Government-issued identification Proof of address The failure of Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to comply with FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) is a serious violation of my consumer rights. I respectfully request the CFPBs immediate intervention and enforcement to ensure full compliance with federal law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, JPMorgan Chase Bank abruptly closed XXXX of my personal accounts without notice, warning, or explanation and then informed me I was permanently banned from opening any future accounts. This action was taken despite my maintaining XXXX other personal and business accountsall in good standingand XXXX active mortgages with Chase. 

I was given no opportunity to address any alleged issues. The lack of transparency and sudden denial of banking services causes substantial harm and may constitute an Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Act or Practice ( UDAAP ) under the Dodd-Frank Act. Additionally, the unexplained termination and restriction on deposit account access may involve Regulation CC concerns regarding fair access to funds and account services.

This action has significantly disrupted my personal and business banking operations and could cause reputational harm if Chase reported adverse information to XXXX  or other consumer reporting agencies.

I request the CFPB investigate Chases conduct, require a full written explanation, review the lifetime ban, and ensure any negative reporting is removed if unjustified.
