Complaint narrative:
I asked the credit bureaus to do an investigation on my credit report to make sure everything was true and accurate. I received their results back and they were verified as accurate.

These are violations of the FCRA. I have included my credit report before I sent the letters and my credit report after the investigation to show all the violations circled.

Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Zion Debt Holdings has failed to do any of this. As they are a 3rd party debt buyer. They have not shown cause to report this debt, or prove they are the owner of said debt. 

Before a debt collector can report your debt to a credit reporting company, the debt collector must do any one of the following : Speak with you in person about the debt, Speak with you by telephone about the debt, Mail you a letter about the debt and wait a reasonable amount of time ( generally 14 days ) for a notice that the letter wasnt delivered, or Send you an electronic communication about the debt and wait a reasonable amount of time ( generally 14 days ) for a notice that the message wasnt delivered. 
If a debt collector sends you a validation notice about a debt, it means they have satisfied their requirement to contact you and, in general, can begin to report the debt to credit reporting companies.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint due to an inaccuracy on my credit report. The creditor, PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES , LLC, is reporting the account open date as XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect. This date represents when the debt was acquired by PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES , LLC from the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ), XXXX, and not the actual age of the debt. 

The original account open date should be XX/XX/XXXX, as provided by the original creditor. The last payment made towards this account was on XX/XX/XXXX, for the amount of {$170.00}. The correct reporting of the account open date is crucial for an accurate representation of my credit history. 

I have already submitted disputes with the credit reporting company to address this issue. However, the account open date continues to be reported incorrectly, even though the documents they provide show an older date. This inaccurate reporting is negatively impacting my credit score and causing undue financial harm.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I entered into a payment plan with Chase, for a {$1000.00}. The clearly stated terms were a 12 month plan at {$5.00} a month. 

I made purchases during the current month for {$2800.00} and had returns of {$600.00} ( amounts are approximate ). Rather than apply the credits to the amount owed ( i.e. the {$2800.00} ), the credits were used to offset amounts included in the payment plan and my current amount due is {$3400.00}, despite the fact that only {$2800.00} in purchase were made. 

The payment plans market one type of service ( i.e. pay off over 12 months in equal installment ) and they do not clearly state how credits will offset current amounts. The essence of a payment plan is to help consumers, not make them worse off, as in my situation. Supposedly this located in disclosures ; however, disclosures are not readily available from their site while using a phone. 

I contacted chase and their employees were unable to answer any questions other than this is the standard practice. I had them explain, over a recorded conversation, how credits are not offset against an actual purchase but against a current balance due. This breaks every rule of how credits are to offset an actual purchase, as far as accounting XXXX is concerned. 

From my point of view, the way the credits were used to offset my outstanding balance is a scheme to make a consumers obligations higher than actual amounts due, so that the Chase could potentially earn 1/12 of 20 % interest on the full {$3400.00} due, as opposed to the {$5.00} monthly fee of the installment plan. Again payment plans should help not hurt consumers.
