Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I purchased a XXXX from XXXX XXXX using my Chase credit card. I later returned the XXXX using the prepaid return label that XXXX XXXX provided. According to the carriers tracking, the package was delivered to XXXX XXXX, and I also received an email confirmation from XXXX XXXX stating that my return was received and that a refund was being processed. 

Over the following weeks, I contacted XXXX XXXX several times because the refund had not appeared. Their representatives repeatedly told me that my refund was in process. After about a month, XXXX XXXX changed its position and claimed that the item they received did not match my order. They refused to issue a refund and did not provide me with any explanation, description, or proof of what they claim was received. 

I then disputed the charge with Chase. While the dispute was under review, Chase issued a temporary credit, but the dispute was later denied. I requested that Chase provide me with the evidence XXXX XXXX submitted ( such as serial numbers, photos, or documentation ), but I was told that XXXX XXXX did not provide that information. The only documentation I received was proof that the package was signed for when it was delivered XX/XX/XXXX. Neither XXXX XXXX nor Chase has been able to tell me what specific item was supposedly received in place of the XXXX I returned, nor have they returned the item I shipped. 

I returned exactly what was sent to me, but I have not received a refund, the item, or any evidence to justify the denial. I am now being held responsible for the full cost of the XXXX despite following XXXXXXXX XXXX return process and despite their own confirmation that the return was received.

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo opened one or more accounts in my name without my knowledge or consent. I did not authorize these accounts or request overdraft services. Despite this, Wells Fargo charged me overdraft fees and other related charges tied to accounts I never opened or approved. 

When I contacted Wells Fargo, I requested documentation showing how these accounts were opened and proof of my authorization. To date, the bank has not provided this information or reversed the fees. This has caused financial harm, stress, and the potential for damage to my credit. 

I am filing this complaint because these actions violate my consumer rights under federal law, including the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Act, which protect against unauthorized accounts and unfair fees.

Upon reviewing my latest credit report, I discovered that a fraudulent account from KOALAFI has been reported on my XXXX credit file. I have never applied for, opened, or authorized any account with KOALAFI. I have never signed any contract, nor do I have any obligation to this company. This account is the direct result of identity theft, and its continued reporting is unlawful.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to seek clarification regarding the closures of my bank accounts and the subsequent difficulties I have faced in opening new accounts. 
In XXXXXXXX Bank of America closed my accounts without providing any explanation. Following this, I opened an account with XXXX XXXX which was also closed six months later without any reason given. Since then, I have maintained an account with a local credit union and have been satisfied with their services for the past couple of years. 
However, I recently started a business and urgently need to open a business account. Unfortunately, my credit union does not offer business accounts. I have applied for accounts with Bank of America, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, but all my applications have been denied without clear justification. 

In XXXXXXXX I became XXXX XXXX XXXX, and in the process, I changed my name from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. However, this was way before I opened the Bank of America accounts. I don't know if this is related, but I want to mention this in case this information has any value I would appreciate your assistance in understanding why these banking institutions have denied me both personal and business accounts. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
