How Got To Get Chase Banking Relationship Restored and Have Late Payments Removed?
I posted something similar to this earlier but it was nothing but babble so I had to delete it and now I’m posting the updated version.
Hello everyone, this might be a bit of a long story, but I’m hoping someone here has dealt with something similar and can give me some advice.
For a while, I was homeless and living out of my car with my mom. I lost my job, and the backup money I had in crypto got completely tied up in Coinbase compliance. At the same time, I was helping take care of my mom and trying to keep up with her bills, so financially we were both in a really difficult position.
During that period, I had a Chase checking account and a Chase credit card. Honestly, I loved banking with Chase and had a really good relationship with them before everything went downhill. I used my checking account regularly, and I really liked my Chase credit card as well.
Eventually, Chase closed my checking account and told me they were ending their banking relationship with me because of claims made. At the time, I was completely broke and didn't have much money coming in, so I wasn't really in a position to fight it or understand what options I had. I also had no cash coming in for a while, which made everything even harder.
On top of that, I fell behind on my Chase credit card payments. I ended up with about six late payments showing on my credit history. I know that's obviously a serious negative mark, and I'm not trying to pretend that I didn't miss the payments. I was going through a genuinely terrible financial situation at the time, and I simply didn't have the money to keep everything current.
The good news is that my situation has completely changed since then. I'm employed again, my finances are stable, I've regained access to my funds, and I'm getting back on track credit wise. I also have a substantial amount of money available now, including funds from previous investments, new investments in the stock market, and my current employment income (totaling over 7 figures). I'm basically in a completely different financial position than I was when those late payments happened.
Because of that, I'd really like to rebuild my relationship with Chase if that's even possible.
I've already tried reaching out to basically everyone I could think of. I've contacted Chase customer service, escalated the issue, and even tried reaching out to the executive office (contacted them so many times they told me they would not respond anymore). I even contacted the Chief Of Staff office hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction, but I haven't gotten anywhere (in fact her secretary had the Chase executive office make a point to tell me to never call her office again, and I only called twice). At this point, I'm not sure what else I can realistically do.
Also, I was informed by someone that I should open a investment account at Chase transfer funds in that account, and then reach out to someone in the Private Client/Private Bank division and they would be willing to fight on my behalf to get them to allow me to open accounts. Don’t how try it is but surely someone can confirm this.
The biggest thing I'm trying to figure out is whether there's any legitimate way to have those six late payments removed.
I'm not asking Chase to erase something that never happened. I understand that the payments were late, and I'm taking responsibility for that. What I'm hoping for is some type of goodwill adjustment or courtesy removal based on the circumstances surrounding the missed payments.
I'm also wondering whether anyone has
successfully gotten multiple late payments removed through Chase after experiencing a temporary financial hardship. If so, what approach worked for you? Did you contact the credit-card department directly, the executive office, or someone else? Did you submit documentation showing that the hardship was temporary and that your finances have since recovered?
My long-term goal isn't just to clean up my credit report. I genuinely want to get back to having a normal banking relationship with Chase. I had a checking account and credit card with them before all of this happened, and I'd really like the opportunity to eventually bank with them again.
Is Chase likely to permanently consider me ineligible for banking services because they previously ended the relationship? Because currently I qualify for JP Morgan Private Client, and I would love the opportunity to join them.
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. I'm just trying to figure out what options I have now that my financial situation is stable again.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post. I'm just pretty frustrated after everything I've already tried.
