Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX recieved a call from Chase Bank that someone was trying to use my debit card in XXXX for a target purchase and we're trying to verify if it was me making the purchase. I told them no and they did not authorize the payment and ordered me a new debit card and was charged {$5.00}. The following day i recieved an alert from Chase that my funds were under {$50.00}. I checked my Chase Bank account and there was multiple unauthorized charges that were charged to my account. There was a XXXX withdrawal that was done at a XXXX XXXX according to the bank, another unauthorized charged for {$480.00} that was done at a non Chase atm withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX that also caused me to get a {$3.00} fee charge for using a non Chase ATM at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. In addition to this, there was XXXX separate transactions that were done at XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX. A purchase for {$65.00} with {$100.00} cash back, so {$160.00} and another purchase for {$4.00} with cash back of {$100.00}, so {$100.00}. I called Chase Bank to file a claim and also XXXX XXXX to let them know what was going on with my bank account since I submitted a payment of {$1500.00} and that it would most likely bounce since my Bank Account was closed and had to open a new bank account since someone had stolen my debit card information with me still having my debit card on hand. Chase discarded my old bank card and was waiting for my new bank card to arrive in the mail. The mortgage company explained that I had until XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX to submit the payment again before it was reported to the credit bureau. Chase Bank gave me a temporary credit for the {$480.00} and for the XXXX purchases for {$160.00} and {$100.00} but then recieved a letter that my claims were denied since a pin was entered for these transactions and that I would be liable for paying for these transcriptions since there was no way to prove that it wasn't me who made these transactions. I filed a police report on XX/XX/XXXX regarding my money being stolen for identity theft. The bank also has not given me the XXXX refund since it's still an open investigation and my mortgage payment still has not been submitted. When I called Chase on XX/XX/XXXX regarding the letter they said that my username and password needed to be changed since someone reordered a replacement card online sent to a different address. I explained to Chase that I need my full refund and they had me re open a new claim.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: Zip Co US Inc.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I used Zip to finance a purchase from XXXX through an installment loan, meaning I made my payments directly to Zip. After returning items, I expected my refund to be processed correctly. While Zip refunded {$200.00}, I am still owed {$72.00}. Instead of resolving this issue, Zip keeps deflecting responsibility onto XXXX and refusing to take accountability for their role in the refund process. 

Key Issues with Zips Handling of My Refund : Acknowledged System Error In response to my previous complaint, Zip admitted that their system continued to display an incorrect payoff balance of {$280.00} even after my items were canceled. This proves that their system failed to update properly, likely contributing to the missing refund. Despite acknowledging this error, Zip has done nothing to fix it or ensure I receive the full refund I am owed. 
Shifting Blame to XXXX Zip keeps telling me to contact XXXX, claiming they haven't received the remaining refund. However, they have provided no proof that XXXX failed to issue it. Instead of verifying this with XXXX themselves, they expect me to do the legwork, even though I made my payments to Zip, not XXXX. 
Inconsistent and Misleading Responses Every time I follow up, Zip provides a different explanation, making it clear that they are stalling rather than resolving the issue. They acknowledge the partial refund they received but refuse to process the final {$72.00}, despite having full visibility into the transaction. 
Unacceptable Delay My refund should have been processed long ago. Instead, Zip keeps running me in circles, doing everything possible to avoid issuing the remaining balance. 
At this point, its clear that Zip is trying to skirt responsibility rather than handle this refund properly. I expect them to either issue my full refund immediately or provide definitive proof that XXXX has not processed the remaining amount. If this isnt resolved, I will have no choice but to escalate further.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to the Bureaus regarding the inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't received a response even after 30 days. It feels like my concerns are being overlooked, and I'm not being treated fairly. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. Since that time has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated right away. If this doesn't happen, I may have to consider legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was compromised in the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which adds to my worries about the safety of my personal data.
