Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I went online to acquire a short-term loan. I was matched with Max Lend and a representative from Max Lend then called me. I only wanted to borrow {$250.00} but the least amount they would loan me was XXXX XXXXXXXX was told that my payments would be XXXX XXXX monthly XXXX through XXXX, and that XXXX payment would be more. I repeatedly confirmed with the representative that the payments would be $ XXXX except for XXXX and she answered yes. I told her that that was alright, and I would pay it off before XXXX. She had me sign for the loan electronically while I was still on the phone with her. I was not sent all of the documents until after I had signed for the loan. The first payment due was actually for {$84.00}. I paid {$100.00}. On XXXX went online to make my payment and saw that they now wanted {$230.00}. I did not understand but did pay {$250.00}. On XXXX again and saw that they wanted {$230.00} again and now the payments only went through XXXX, not XXXX. I then called Max Lend to find out what was happening. I was basically told that once I signed for the loan that they could make any changes they wanted to the loan. I did not pay and they tried to automatically deduct the money from my account. I did not give them permission to do so. O called them again and they said since I signed that they had the right to do that. I stopped the payment through my bank. I called Max Lend again and told them That I would pay {$250.00} more and would not give them any more money. From XX/XX/year> XXXX I had paid them a total of {$610.00} for the {$400.00} loan. I told Max Lend several times that that was not what I agreed to, that they never told me that the interest and payments would significantly raise, That I could not afford {$230.00} monthly, and I would have never taken the loan if I had known that. I told them the amount they were asking was ridiculous and I was never told about the changes that were made to the loan after I signed and did not receive the documents until after I signed. I was going by the phone conversation with the representative. I was again told that once I signed for the loan that they could make any changes that they wanted. I have not made a payment since XX/XX/year>. They call me at least once daily and state that I have a past due balance of {$520.00}. I tell them every day that I will not pay until I am advised by an agency on what to do regarding the matter. I also tell them what happened and how I was misled and lied to regarding the loan.

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up on compliant XXXX. I do not agree with the company 's assessment. I received all of my historical statements from the company and made a spreadsheet of my own. 
I looked at all my payments and can not see a pattern or mathematical reason why some of my payments were applied to one balance at a certain % and another at a different %. It seems like the company wanted me to have a balance left for the highest amount charged for the promotion to charge me the highest interest. I am attaching my calculations derived from the statements the company sent me as evidence. Can they explain why the payments were applied in this manner? I have paid all of my balance cause I do not want to fight with this company as they will charge me 25-35 % interest on my balance even though I am disputing it. I feel like I was robbed. It is very disheartening as I can see how a household without means would struggle with this kind of treatment.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This morning I received a notification that my primary credit card was closed. I called customer support and was informed that not only was that card closed, but all credit cards on my account. They were unable to give me a reason as to why beyond the phrase not using the card as intended. I have no idea what that means, and I have been an exceptional customer for many years. I have never been late on a payment and have been paying thousands of dollars on my cards every month. 

The only thing I believe could have been a trigger was around {$20000.00} of disputes I recently filed. I was scammed by an XXXX seller for that amount. However, XXXX ultimately admitted my case was correct and told me ( I can provide the email as well ) that they would tell Chase my disputes were valid. I received my refunds/dispute resolution and everything was fine. I have to imagine there was some algorithm tripped and a human was likely too lazy to dig deeper and see that everything was fine. 

I have a XXXX credit score and by closing my accounts that are about to destroy years and years of fantastic credit history. Ive lost over {$60000.00} in open credit lines. I have and will suffer other damages, too many to list here, as a result of this account-wide closure. I need to speak to a human with authority to act on this to find out where the mistake has been made.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
