How other consumers Chase Bank complaints got resolved
Chase missed a $100 cashback offer and denied it repeatedly, until the consumer escalated with proof and got $98 back after executive review.
An unauthorized $120 charge was wrongly denied. After escalation and fresh evidence, the refund was approved plus a goodwill credit added.
After slow phone support, a locked bank account was fixed fast in-branch. The customer's ID was verified, the lock removed, and fees waived after the manager escalated.
If your issue isn’t resolved at the first level, here’s how to escalate:
1. Request a Supervisor or Manager
On the phone or in secure messaging:
- “Thank you for your help, but I’d like this complaint reviewed by a supervisor or higher-level specialist.”
Supervisors can:
- Approve larger credits
- Override some decisions
- Expedite investigations
2. Use Secure Messages to Explicitly Escalate
Reply in secure message:
- “My complaint remains unresolved. Please escalate this to your escalations team or a case manager.”
This keeps everything documented in writing.
3. Chase Executive Office / Corporate Escalation
For significant issues:
- Send a detailed letter to corporate HQ:
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
270 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017 - Or to the Customer Service PO Box used for complaints:
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. – Customer Service
P.O. Box 44945
Indianapolis, IN 46204-4945
Mark it clearly as a formal complaint and note that prior attempts have failed.
The Executive Office typically assigns a dedicated specialist to your case.
4. Social & Public Escalation
You can apply additional pressure via:
- X (Twitter): @ChaseSupport
- Public review + BBB complaint (see next section)
Chase’s social team often escalates cases internally.
5. Follow Up Consistently
If a case manager promises an update in “48 hours” and you hear nothing, follow up. Consistency shows you’re serious and won’t let the case go cold.
If you’ve tried internal escalation and still aren’t satisfied, you can involve regulators:
1. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
File a complaint at: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
CFPB will:
- Forward your complaint to Chase
- Require a response, typically within 15 days
- Let you track the case and review Chase’s written response
Use this for:
- Billing errors
- Unresolved disputes
- Unfair account closures
- Unexplained fees
- Poor handling of fraud
2. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
Chase is a nationally chartered bank regulated by the OCC.
File at: https://www.helpwithmybank.gov/
OCC’s Customer Assistance Group:

- Monitors responses and compliance
3. Better Business Bureau (BBB)
BBB is not a regulator but:
- Provides a public complaint platform
- Forwards your complaint to Chase
- Encourages a written response and resolution
4. State Banking Regulators & Attorney General
Find your state’s regulator via:
https://www.consumerfinance.gov/find-a-housing-counselor/ (or state govt sites)
