Complaint:
I transferred {$100.00} to an individual through XXXX XXXX  which is linked to my Bank of America checking account. The recipient also has XXXX XXXX. She refunded the {$100.00} back to my XXXX XXXX account on XX/XX/21 and on XX/XX/21 I selected the option to refund the XXXX XXXX  back to my Bank of America checking account via a transfer. After two weeks I noticed the funds were still not in my BOA checking account, so I reached out to XXXX XXXX to file a claim and was given a case number. XXXX XXXX  said the account number was wrong and so that is why the funds didn't transfer to my BOA account. I did not physically enter the account information for the refund ( I only selected the option to transfer the funds back to my BOA account where the funds came from ) and all other XXXX XXXX transfers before, during, and after that were processed without any problems, using the same method. However, the account number XXXX XXXX  transferred the refund to is not my BOA checking account number or my BOA debit card. I don't know where the other account number that XXXX XXXX  used for the refund came from. It makes me wonder if my account was hacked. In any event, I promptly notified each company. XXXX XXXX was notified immediately and did not do a proper investigation. Now they say too much time has lapsed for them to retrieve my funds. I should not be penalized because they did not conduct a proper investigation into their mystery account number that I did not enter and does not show up on my XXXX XXXX profile. Either XXXX XXXX or BOA owes me a refund. 

I disputed the missing funds with BOA and they sent me a final letter on XX/XX/21 stating the claim was denied and they reversed the provisional credit. BOA said, " PMNT SENT XXXX XXXX  XXXX  - XXXX is a third party who's responsible for transferring the money from your account to the recipient. We recommend you contact the recipient directly for further assistance with your dispute. '' I have been given the runaround by both BOA and XXXX XXXX. One of them has my {$100.00} that I urgently need to pay bills during this pandemic. I am 8 months pregnant and their inability to resolve this is causing me a lot of stress. Please help me get my {$100.00} back.

Complaint:
I have been disputing this account for some time now with VANCE AND HUFFMAN. I sent an initial dispute letter asking for verification of this account because I am not familiar with this account and they sent back documents that still do not prove that I am the owner of this account or that this debt is mine. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. My letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, and here is the tracking number XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't provide valid sufficient documents pertaining to this account that it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. I am sure there is a law that proves it.
