Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2023 I agreed to use my smartphone to make a donation to someone asking for money for a cause. When I accessed my XXXX account through the Chase app and asked for their number to make a donation to, they physically took my phone and accessed my account in order to send themselves an amount that I did not authorize. When I demanded they return my phone, their demeanor became very hostile and they refused. After they claimed my app was not working and returned my phone, they fled the area and I saw they had sent themselves {$1000.00}. I immediately called Chase Fraud to file a claim. After filing two claims, they rejected it on the basis that I authorized the transaction using my touch ID. I did log in to my banking app, but my phone was forcibly taken from me and funds were stolen. The Chase Fraud department has been extremely obtuse and difficult regarding this claim and has refused to permanently refund me for the amount. They gave me a credit for the amount twice, and twice they took it back. The recipient that received the funds is not someone I have ever sent money to before, nor are they anyone I know.

Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Office of Consumer Finance XX/XX/XXXX I would like to report the BMO Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA, for ghosting me and not sending my checks as I ordered them on XX/XX/XXXX, and not giving me any kind of service or help, forcing me to move to a different bank and have lots of chaos in the process. The end result is overdraft charges by BMO for what they call an overdraft on a line of credit available for me that I did not want, nor did I ever use, but in order to close this account they are charging me {$100.00}! This is very very unfair. They were unfaithful in their contract with me. They did not send the checks that I ordered, and that I needed to continue banking there and they did not give me any reason why they werent sending checks and I kept thinking they were coming because the bank kept saying yes they should be there in a week, be patient, you should be patient, theyll be there in another week, oh the mail is delayed, wait another week and all this time, Im thinking Im going to hacked. Someone is going to use my checks, where ever they are, and Im going to look online and all my money is gon na be gone, so I changed to a different bank and this charge of {$100.00} which probably is gon na keep going up every month is really unfair and I try to talk to someone and they were not receptive. They spoke with sarcasm in their voices. 

Im very very upset about this. I dont know what to do, I know the times are bad. My XXXX XXXX XXXX account that Ive had for 24 years is a {$600.00} plus a month yet I dont have Internet. I have a very strong feeling that the Internet through XXXX XXXX XXXX is compromised on purpose in order to influence the votes as did XXXX when XXXX bought XXXX and then proceeded to interfere with all of the different voting stations that communicating on XXXX. Banks are supporting authoritarian governments around the world and now they are really sticking it to me. They are on a big pre-election money grab. The same thing happened to my XXXX  daughter and she had to pay XXXX XXXX dollars to close her account and go to a different bank. 

When I went tXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX to change my direct deposit to a different bank, they said that BMO has been doing this right along and several complaints have come through about that bank. 

I have demanded they close my account. Instead, they continue to text and email this message : BMO Alert : Your overdraft protection line of credit was used. For more details, sign in or call XXXX. 

Someone probably has the checks that I ordered that never arrived. 

Very concerned taxpayer, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request your compassionate consideration in removing the late payment entries on my credit report, which were directly attributed to the unprecedented hardships I faced during the national COVID-19 pandemic. 

Like millions around the globe, the pandemic significantly impacted my financial stability, hindering my ability to meet my financial obligations on time. During this period, I endeavored to manage my finances to the best of my abilities, prioritizing the well-being of my family and striving to stay afloat amidst the turmoil. 

The unexpected job losses, reduced hours, and the overall economic downturn caused by the pandemic placed immense pressure on my financial resources. Despite these challenges, I have since made a steadfast recovery, ensuring that all my bills are paid promptly and maintaining a responsible financial stance. 

I kindly request that you consider the extraordinary circumstances that led to these late payments. The removal of these entries from my credit report would significantly alleviate the lingering burden my family and I continue to bear, offering us a chance at financial recovery and stability. 

I understand the importance of credit obligations and take full responsibility for my financial health. Since the challenging times of the pandemic, I have demonstrated a consistent and timely payment history, reflecting my commitment to financial responsibility. 

I respectfully ask for your understanding and favorable consideration of my request. Removing these late payment entries will not only significantly impact my life and that of my family positively but also accurately reflect my current financial responsibility and commitment to upholding my obligations. 

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I am hopeful for a positive resolution.
