Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Complaint:
I have received a notice from Bank of America that I tried to open an account and was declined. I did not try to open an account and I have been trying to get in touch with Bank of America to determine if someone is fraudulently applying with my information, but it is impossible to reach them. They won't let you talk to customer service unless you have account details, and since I don't because the application was fraudulent it is impossible to reach them. They need to give me information so I can know if my identity has been stolen or not.

Complaint:
Good Afternoon- In XXXX of last year I purchased a new vehicle. XXXX XXXX is to whom I owe my loan to. However XX/XX/2022 I tested positive for XXXX XXXX. While being sick many financial complications came with it. When I called the auto loan department on the XXXX of XXXX when my payment was due she stated I had 30 days to make the payment. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I called to confirm my payment and she said it was now 30 days late and will now be reported to all 3 credit departments. 

My payment was made however they never once contacted me via phone or email to let me know it was due. Today she updated all of my personal info. Email, phone and Address. I discovered it was all in correct and the agent said the phone number they have for me was completely different from what I stated. How was i supposed to receive calls to make my payment if the info they have was not correct. 

If I would have known it would affect my credit when I called on the XXXX I would have made my payment. 

Thank you kindly

Complaint:
XXXX, Submitted on XX/XX/2022 & XXXX, SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/2022. 
XXXX, SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/2022. The response states, the company will reply back in 60 days. 
This is not acceptable. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the CRA has a certain amount of timegenerally 30 days but up to 45 days in certain circumstancesto resolve a dispute. If the item can not be verified by the creditor within the time frame, it will be removed from the report. 
Therefore, 60 days, is not acceptable according to the FCRA Guidelines, when the disputed information was received by the credit reporting bureau agencies in a timely manner. Therefore, 30 days, is the maximum allowable time frame, from the date which dispute was received.

Complaint:
I'd like the attached accounts to be reinvestigated before I seek litigation and remedy for the blatant disregard for the FCRA and erroneous reporting that you place onto my accounts. Each account has not been verified, date of last activity are not the same across all 3 credit reporting agencies, accounts are reported charge offs but still showing a balance owed which is definitely wrong because this account has been written off the companies profit and loss statement so as defined by the IRS Even if you didn't receive a tax form 1099-c you must report cancelled debt and gross income The IRS clearly states charge off as income the reporting of this account is inaccurate. This account clearly wasn't investigated and your company just parroted information from these " creditors '' and slapped in on my consumer report damaging my credit worthiness and character in the eyes of present and future financial institutions. 

I have done my own investigation and have researched numerus legal cases in which other consumers were victims of the same things that I am now experiencing, and the courts have ruled each an every time that the credit reporting agency could not merely parrot information from the creditors and/or collection agencies. you are required to conduct your own independent reasonable investigations to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty, and integrity of the creditor and/or collection agency in question. Sending out generic form. Through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. Also according to 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate on my consumer report and metro 2 compliant.
