Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I deposited a check on XXXX XX/XX/2022. I asked specifically about a funds hold because I know the bank often does that, particularly for a large check ( over {$80000.00} ). She said the systems didn't show any. I was surprised and figured I'd wait and see. Not surprising was that the next day the deposit showed a funds hold for up to 10 business days. I know that the banking system is more efficient than that and that the check cleared and funds were likely transferred the next business day, and yet I was not able to access the funds for over a week. I finally see today that the funds are fully available ( XXXX XX/XX/2022 ) and know that Friday was a bank holiday, but it is still ridiculous. Banks holding our cash XXXX while they earn interest on it is completely unfair to consumers and an abuse of their position. They should be required to make funds available as soon as the other bank approves the payment and sends the funds.

Complaint:
See Attached Dispute Docs detailing blatant consumer rights violations, The fact that you have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that you can not, and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as you stated in writing that you did. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law. I am writing to request the immediate deletion of certain information that is being reported on my credit file, which is in violation of the Metro 2 Credit Reporting Guidelines. The inaccurately reported information is causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. Ive studied constitutional consumer protection laws extensively along with cIvil/federal court procedures such that of Dixon-Rollins v. Experian Information Solutions

Complaint:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and wilfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

Here is the list of items which are UNKNOWN to me XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
