Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I upgraded my old phone and mobile carrier ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  phone- ( XXXX ) XXXX ) to a new phone with a new mobile carrier ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ). I reported my new telephone number to Bank of America ( hereinafter BofA ) on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I explained extensively to BofA via phone, and, at my local BofA branch-at the insisting of the BofA phone customer service representatives, whom claim, your contact info can not be upgraded and as a result your BofA online banking services are locked indefinitely. Bank of America has refused to update my new telephone number and is locking me out of their BofA Mobile Online Banking App. BofA has, subsequently to my civil procedure communication with them, ( BofA ) insisted, and insists, that I go to my local branch with my identification to see local branch agent ( s ) whom will then contact other BofA customer service representatives elsewhere to validate my identification, so that I can gain temporary special access to my BofA online banking featuresat my local branch only. I have important automatic bill payments and one time monthly bill payments to schedule and manage regularly and need to regain access to my BofA Mobile banking App to receive important security alerts and two-step verification codes via text or email whenever I log-in to my BofA mobile banking App like I was doing before I upgraded said old phone to said new phone. I even requested to BofA to change my text 2-Step verification codes to email 2-verification codes, and BofA denied my request and continues to refuse to update my new telephone number for online banking purpose. I have filed other complaints against BofA for other wantonly malicious torts BofA has perpetrated against me, before. This is my fourth complaint I file against BofA and the XXXX  different intentional tort BofA has wantonly maliciously perpetrated against me. I have been keeping a meticulous banking responsibility with BofA for XXXX years to date living on a [ earned income entitlement ] XXXX XXXX Social Security XXXX Income, and I have [ verbally ] repeatedly asked Bank of America to cease and desist their harassments and infliction of emotional distress against me. I am requesting that my telephone number be updated immediately, so that I can keep a vigilant safety management of my checking account security with Bank of America via their online banking mobile app. Thank you for timely addressing this very important legal matter that is in accordance with my legal rights, per the United States Code of Federal Regulations.

State: MA
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:
EQUIFAX is in violation of FCRA and is civilly liable for willful noncompliance for failing to comply with a BLOCK request despite received the supporting identity theft documents. 
On XX/XX/2022, I submitted a BLOCK request to EQUIFAX regarding fraudulent account, XXXX XXXX, that is on my credit file. As per 15 USC 1681c-2, once a Credit Reporting Agency receives a lawful identity theft report it must BLOCK the fraudulent account within four business days, which it failed to do. 
Instead, EQUIFAX responded to me on the sixth day stating that my dispute results were available online. The results, posted on your portal, came in the form of a credit file, which states that the XXXX XXXX account was verified as mine. With that said, I am requesting that EQUIFAX provide me with a description of the procedure used to determine that this account is actually mine. 
Also, by EQUIFAX making the claim that the account has been verified as mine, are you declining to BLOCK the fraudulent account? 
As per 15 USC 1681c-2 to decline a block you must have reasonably determined : ( A ) a block was requested by the consumer in error ; ( B ) a block was requested by the consumer, on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by the consumer relevant to the request to block ; or ( C ) the consumer obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the blocked transaction or transactions. 
EQUIFAX must provide material proof for points A through C that resulted in a reasonable determination to decline block.

Complaint:
I the consumer sent a letter to the consumer reporting agency Experian on XX/XX/, 2022, pertaining to the reinvestigation of an inaccurate account furnished on my account without any validation from me the consumer regarding the information the creditor gave Experian without my consent, which is a violation of my rights. Experian stated that they sent a reinvestigation letter and notified the creditors. Creditors responded by just saying that they rejected my request for account deletion, without informing me the consumer of the process of their reinvestigation by following what the states the process should be. Experian failed to inform the consumer of their reinvestigation process and how an account and information on an account were reinvestigated, not asking for the validation of the consumer under 15 USC 1692g. The law states that only a consumer can validate a debt that I did not validate. This wrongdoing towards me, the consumer, has caused me to be mentally and physically injured, be denied credit, and affected my family and character. Experian stated that they mailed me the result summary on XX/XX/, 2022, which I didn't receive. Congress states that there isn't any evidence without testimonials, so I would like to know how a decision can be made without witnesses or testimonials or determine the accuracy of the information the creditors and the consumer reporting agency formulate a response. Down below will be a document and another reinvestigation letter I sent out to Experian. I asked what is the method of your verification as I stated above asking how this reinvestigation was conducted. Pursuant to 15 U.S. code 1681 ( i ) talks about the procedures in case of disputed accuracy

These furnishers did not respect my right to privacy under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), they did not exercise their grave responsibility which is unfair and partial. They assumed the credibility of these companies that the information The furnishings were correct and accurate. They never had a permissible purpose under 15 USC 1681 ( b ) ( 2 ) 15 USC 1681 ( a ) 1 The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.
