- A lender accessed your credit through Chase
This entry typically appears as a hard inquiry.

Why JPMCB Card Services Appears on Your Credit Report
There are several reasons you might see JPMCB on your credit report:
- You applied for a Chase credit card: Any credit application triggers a hard inquiry.
- You received a preapproval offer and applied: Preapproval alone doesn’t affect your credit score, but applying does.
- You were added as an authorized user: Some activity may appear on your credit report, depending on how Chase reports it.
- You closed a Chase account: Closed accounts can remain on your report for years.
- Fraud or identity theft: If you didn’t authorize the application, someone else might have used your information.
How a JPMCB Hard Inquiry Affects Your Credit Score
Hard inquiries can cause your credit score to dip by a few points. A single inquiry isn’t a big deal, but multiple inquiries in a short timeframe can hurt more. Lenders may see frequent inquiries as a sign that you’re taking on too much new credit.
How Long JPMCB Inquiries Stay on Your Credit Report
Hard inquiries stay on your credit report for up to two years. However, they usually only impact your credit score for about 12 months. After that, they’re still visible to lenders but carry less weight.
What to Do If You Don’t Recognize the JPMCB Inquiry
If you’re not sure why JPMCB is showing up on your credit report, take these steps:
- Contact Chase: Call their customer service line to ask about the inquiry and confirm whether it was linked to a legitimate application.
- Dispute it with the credit bureaus: If it was an error or unauthorized, file a dispute with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each bureau allows online, phone, and mail-in disputes.
- Monitor your credit reports: Check your reports from all three bureaus to make sure there’s no suspicious activity.
- Place a fraud alert or credit freeze: If you suspect identity theft, consider adding a fraud alert or temporarily freezing your credit to block new account openings.
