Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MN
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
Bank of America has been charging me {$8.00} fees for a Savings Account - Advantage Savings - XXXX. Fees started to appear as of XX/XX/XXXX even though this account has been open since XXXX. 

When this account was opened in XXXX with another Checking account at the same time, I was advised that " as long as there is monthly auto reoccurring transfer from the Checking account to the Savings account, there will be no banking fees added to the Saving 's account. While the monthly auto reoccurring transfer is set up and has been completed every month since XXXX, I was advised today that they made a change to how their fees now work without my consent. This is clearly misleading. 

I have requested a refund for the fees added by Bank of America, as I did not accept their new terms. They claimed they can only refund 2 of the 4 fees made on the account.

State: NV
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
To provide some context, I have thoroughly reviewed my credit report and discovered numerous inquiries and accounts that I did not authorize or have any knowledge of. These items have negatively impacted my creditworthiness and have caused significant distressed inconvenience in my personal and financial life. It is worth noting that these fraudulent entries are clearly not reflective of my credit history and are therefore erroneous AND misleading. Moreover, it is important to note that these inquiries and accounts have bee reported without a permissible purpose. According to the FCRA, credit inquiries AND account reporting must be conducted with a legitimate reason, such as in connection with accredit application or account review initiated by the consumer. In this case, I have neither applied for credit nor requested any account activity that would justify the presence of these items on my credit report. The unlawful reporting of these fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries and accounts not only damages my creditworthiness but also exposes me to potential financial harm. It is imperative that you take immediate action to rectify this situation and remove these inaccurate and unauthorized entries from my credit report. I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide me with a detailed explanation of how such erroneous information was allowed to appear on my credit report. Additionally, I expect a prompt resolution, including the removal of all fraudulent and unauthorized inquiries and accounts, as well as a written confirmation of the correction made. Please be advised that the FCRA provides consumers with certain rights and remedies in cases of inaccurate and unauthorized credit reporting. I am prepared to exercise all available legal options, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and seeking appropriate legal redress, if necessary, to protect my rights and ensure compliance with the law. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I expect a prompt response within [ reasonable timeframe, e.g.,30 days ] from the date of receipt of this letter. Failure to address this issue adequately may result in further legal action. I strongly urge you to rectify this violation of my consumer rights promptly and to take all necessary steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Complaint:
The word " '' company '' / " the company '' '' refers to : kikoff.com ) The company is either committing fraud or an employee at the company or someone who hacked into their system has added an email and address ( XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC, XXXX ) to my credit report. I tried disputing before and they said I couldn't remove the information only the company could. After the last complaint I placed with XXXX they responded with " the company fixed the problem, etc '' which they did not. The information is still on my credit report and only the company apparently can remove/chamge this information according to XXXX. I filed a complaint about this before and they just gave me a " run around answer '' about how the company 's internal fraud group would look into it and respond to me, which they never did. And this was years ago and the fake email and address ( XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC, XXXX ) are still on my XXXX credit report.

Complaint:
I follow my credit report almost daily and the credit reporting agencies are not factoring in correct information to obtain my score and it keeps it low and substandard so I can not obtain reasonable interest rates because of their unfair reporting. 

I have an XXXX cold that gets paid off monthly and has no credit limit but my report shows XXXX  limit which directly and negatively affects my score because it appears as though my available credit is lower than what is truly available. 

They can not answer my question when asked and it was previously reported with a {$6000.00} available credit but per XXXX they are not supposed to report a limit for a GOLD card so when that changed my XXXX  listed it as a negative impact as if my " available limit had been lowered or closed " I can not get help from anyone with this issue and my credit score has literally dropped into subprime >.

State: AL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I filed a complaint with Experian credit reporting agency regarding an credit card which was closed in XX/XX/XXXX due to me filing bankruptcy. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, the creditor reported the account again as if it made an update or change to the account status which decreased my score by 21 points. 

The account status should not have been changed because the account is in active bankruptcy and no payments have been missed in the bankruptcy which mean no updates should have occurred on the account. 

However, Experian supposedly disputed the item given me until XX/XX/XXXX to complete it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from Experian stating the investigation was complete. My score went back to the previous score. Then, within an hour, it went to the negative score and did not give me a reason why it changed again and now I can not dispute it again.

Complaint:
If disputed this account several times over the years for incorrect reporting that is ruining my credit. I most recently disputed this account a few weeks ago and they continue to report incorrectly. At this point, it is fraudulent. They continue to verify information that is flat out wrong and enough is enough. And the credit reporting agencies continue to accept this fraudulent reporting without receiving proper evidence. This account must be removed from all credit reporting agencies immediately. The 30, 60, and 90-day late information they continue to verify is incorrect. I have told them this several times. To make matters worse, they continue to report that the amount of discharged debt is upwards of {$10000.00}. They know this is information is incorrect as they provided me with the cancellation of debt form that states {$6800.00}. Remove this account from all credit reports immediately.
