Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
Ordered the PenFed Credit Union XXXX XXXX card about a month ago to make a few purchases ahead of overseas travel. Nearly every purchase attempted was declined from XXXX, to XXXX, to various airlines. Had 5+ hours of phone calls with customer support and bounced between various departments. Supervisors blamed me for entering card number incorrectly and then tried to blame vendors for not transmitting the number correctly. Clearly a problem on PenFed 's intake side. Still no resolution.

Complaint:
I have sent in affidavits to request specific verification that the CRA 's have been avoiding giving to me to verify that they are actually doing the investigative consumer reports prescribed by FCRA. These companies believe that they are above the law because they are large and have automated systems set up to detour consumers from getting personal access to someone to rectify and remedy these situations in person. 

I do not want my personal information analyzed, serviced and resold by companies who do not have my best interest at heart. These companies report erroneous claims because they have a financial interest in consumers having inaccurate reports. That means more credit monitoring, reports, security freezes and inquiries. How is this fair ir equitable for the consumer as required by Congress in the FCRA. 

I have used this medium to complain over the past years of the inaccurate information that they report and make money off of and not once, even with the deletions and admissions of guilt did they pay me the monetary compensation due. Its been a complete run around with rectifying this and now I am prepared to take this to court if they do not comply. Final attempt to settle outside of a class action suit that I have gotten prepared by my consumer attorney for me and a class of similarity injured Americans nationwide.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, Checking, Savings & Credit Card were opened from Bank of America online in my name. Then a cash advance was taken out on the credit card in the amount of {$1400.00} & mailed to my address. B of A states the cash advance was mailed to me because they ( B of A ) detected suspicious activity and closed the checking and savings account so the check/cash advance needed to be mailed since there was no where to deposit the money. I received the check and since I knew I did not open any accounts from B of A I kept the check in my stack of documents I began collecting from B of A and wrote the words " VOID '' across the check. 
I began working with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and together we called B of A multiple times on different days and at different times and were continually transferred, hung up on, sent to the wrong departments and wasted HOURS of my life that I will never be able to get back. No one could help us so XXXX suggested that I go into a local branch of B of A that they should be able to help me. The only thing that was different was that the Relationship Manager that assisted me ( XX/XX/XXXX ) called and was told that I needed to deposit the cash advance check of {$1400.00} back into the credit card to get anything done. They would not accept my check since the word " VOID '' was written across the check. So B of A had to create another {$1400.00} cash advance check and mail back to me again. I received the check in the mail, went back to the local bank ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and had the same Relationship Mgr. deposit the {$1400.00} check on the credit card account. The Relationship Mgr. called & spoke with someone in the collections department and they stated that the late fees and interest charges along with derogatory marks on my credit should be corrected and this should take place in 2 weeks and I will receive a letter in the mail stating this. Instead of any of this happening I received a letter stating that B of A is " unable to complete your request '' and provided a phone number to call to receive an explanation. I called the number ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and no one can help me and I have derogatory marks on my credit and the fees and interest charges continue to add up. Now B of A has sent my balance due ( XXXX ) to a debt collector ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they are trying to charge off my debt. 
I have filed a police report, report the information to the FTC and am in the process of also filing a complaint to the XXXX XXXX XXXX.

After I escaped and filed for divorce I started getting letters in the mail from all different credit card companies. Here to find out these were open Freudianly from my ex husband and he had all the statements coming paperless. My attorney has filed contempt charges and fraud charges are reported also. The 3 credit reports are attached that show all these credit cards in my name and they were not opened nor used by me. This is causing a major problem as I am receiving calls non stop and even to my employer. Can you please help with this?

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed. Please dont respond to my request by saying that these accounts have been verified by the information provider, I a aware of the E-OSCAR process.I do not give your company permission to publish unverified information on my credit file. I am asking your company to legally verify the accuracy of these disputed items and not to just parrot what the information provider tells you. By publishing these unverified items on my credit report you are in violation of the FCRA and by distributing my credit report to 3rd parties you are damaging my reputation and credit worthiness.

Complaint:
Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and pr
ocedures outlined in the FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus
