Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Recently, on XX/XX/2023 I did another investigation on my credit report and realized that there were several inaccuracies, invalidated and unverifiable items that the credit bureau agency is reporting. 

Per the FCRA, any item previously removed can not be reinserted into a consumer 's credit report without written notice to the injured consumer within five business days. I have not received such notice, nor have I received any evidence of the accuracy and completeness of their reported claims. Their failure to remove these claims is a violation of my consumer rights and is unjust. 

The credit reporting agencies are either not responding or stating that these were investigated and verified. Again, they're several inaccuracies still showing on my credit report and in some cases have been removed and then reinserted causing me to lose housing opportunities and from obtaining credit. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S.C 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % 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 accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

I was charged a late fee by Bank of America for paying the credit card late by just 2 days. Instead of XX/XX/18, I paid on XX/XX/XXXX and I am charged XXXX $ late fee and then purchase interest. I dont usually miss it. I call the customer care requesting to waive off and they say its not refundable. When every other bank can refund and show value to their customer, why cant BofA. They have the worst customer experience. Definitely horrible. Then I go to the base branch and the banker can not do anything about it either. Totally ridiculous.

Complaint:
Dear Credit Reporting Agency,
I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I am writing to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity.
Fortunately, in accordance with the FCRA Sections 605B,615(f) and 623 (a)(6), an identity theft report can be used to permanently block fraudulent information that results from identity theft, such as accounts or addresses from appearing on a victims credit report. Identity theft reports can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from Identity theft. Pursuant to the FCRA 605B (15 U.S.C. 1681C-2), PLEASE BLOCK ALL INFORMATION RESULTING FROM IDENTITY THEFT, except as otherwise provided in this Section A, in which a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer identifies as information resulted from an alleged identity theft, NO LATER THAN 4 BUSINESS DAYS after the date of receipt by agency.
I ask that you comply with the Federal Laws in place, and swiftly and permanently block the accounts, addresses, inquiries and other information that you are reporting listed on the Identity Theft Report List Of Fraudulent Accounts. I am also requesting to be mailed a new credit report to my address of record above.

Complaint:
I have or had been with Wells Fargo since XX/XX/2006. This past year I had a few problems with my account. Everything was golden UNTIL I received a call from Wells Fargo saying that " due to a business decision '' they're terminating my relationship with me. I asked why they're terminating the and the only reply I received was " because the bank wants to. '' After researching online about Wells Fargo I've seen that Wells Fargo often closes consumer accounts for " business decisions. '' I've given literally tens of thousands of dollars to this bank and when you call them you're treated like the bad guy. The kicker of this all is that I didn't ask for any action to be taken. Wells Fargo decided to initiate the actions on the account. I called Wells Fargo last week because the claims department is still investigating past their 90 day limit and the representative said " the disclosure you signed says we can close your account whenever and wherever. '' Unprofessional, dishonest behavior from a major company.
