I am an XXXX XXXXXXXX female and I signed up for a COVID19 related program with Bank of America. I was given the month to start to pay again so when I paid when the lady to me the pay they said my account was pass due bc the total amount was not paid. I explained that it was a misunderstanding and that I have never ever been late & that I pay more than minimum sometimes but it didnt matter. Anyone, can make an error, Im old but am a good customer and should not be punished for a misunderstanding. It was their error and their responsibility to notify me by email when the program was ending an payment would be due. Now that they corrected my account, they will not Correct my credit. My credit history speaks for itself & one misunderstanding shouldnt cause me to have bad credit. We are struggling and I notified them, I didnt just stop paying ... its a PANDEMIC! I would appreciate any assistance that you can give me.

Company: VYSTAR CREDIT UNION
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I paid VYSTAR XXXX  the entire balance alleged due of {$240.00} on the account they charged off a few months after they denied my dispute of purchases in regard. I never received services for one of the transactions relating to incorporating my business with the state of Florida. The other transaction, I agreed, belonged to me after careful research. The state denied my filing request to form an XXXX from XXXX because I filed incorrectly. I disputed with Vystar XXXX providing proof the state of Florida did not create my XXXX  as requested even though they debited my payment account. Regretfully, I could not reach anyone by phone in the business services division attributed to the COVID pandemic. Today I never received a response. As a result, Vystar closed my account and labeled it a chargeoff. Though I disagreed with Vystars ' decision to deny my request, I decided to pay them the alleged amount owed. After all, they were kind enough to offer me conditional credit as they investigated my claim. However, XXXX and the three major credit bureaus report this as a chargeoff though I paid the entire balance. I was unaware of how conditional credits and disputes worked with the banks. Now, I have a better understanding as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX employee. The credit reports show the account as " chargeoff '' and " paid, '' which has negatively impacted my ability to obtain adequate housing for myself and my family. The reporting is a bit confusing. Vystar charged it off a few months later ; however, I paid them in full.

Complaint:
Dear XXXX XXXX ; XXXX ; Equifax ; XXXX ; I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and I still found multiple inaccuracies on the credit report from the XXXX major credit bureaus. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. 

I'm quite not what's going on, but I can tell you that this account doesn't belong to me, and also it continues to report incomplete, and multiple inaccuracies on my credit report. It's my understanding that once an account is in charge-off status, it can not continue to report any more payment activity as XXXX days late or a C/O. For example, the dates of XXXX delinquency, dates of last active, etc are all incorrect, and with multiple inaccuracies. Still continue to report multiple inaccuracies and incomplete, unverifiable info! Different dates of DOLA, DLP, DLR, questionable balance, and inconsistent payment history and payment status. Delete for still multiple inaccuracies. DELETE!!! 

" CFPB Released a recent report detailing deficiencies of the XXXX major credit reporting agencies : Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX relied heavily on template complaint responses instead of providing meaningful and thorough responses to consumers, despite having up to 60 calendar days to respond. ''

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

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, our debit card was used for fraudulent purchases totaling {$540.00} ( XXXX different transactions {$170.00}, {$170.00}, and {$180.00} ) at XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Bank of America ( BOA ) issued temporary credits to offset the amounts and closed our debit card ( closed XX/XX/XXXX ). By letter from BOA XXXX XXXX department dated XX/XX/XXXX, we were informed that they were " unable to approve '' our recent claim. They also informed us in that same letter that the temporary credits would be reversed on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, we faxed additional documentation to the BOA Claims Resolution department showing evidence that supports our claim. On XX/XX/XXXX, BOA reversed the temporary credits ( as they stated in the letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ) and left our bank account with a negative balance. On XX/XX/XXXX, we contacted the BOA Claims Resolution department at a phone number provided in the letter, and we were given run-around answers by the many people we talked to, many of which were rude and very unhelpful. They kept saying they couldn't reverse the credits and that they would send messages to the Claims Resolution department with the information we were sharing. One person ( who was the most helpful of all ) took note of the details that we provided about the case, and he said he was convinced that we should not be liable and that he was requesting that the money be put back into our account. He said it would be a few days. On XX/XX/XXXX, we were expecting the money to be back in our account, and to our surprise they had hit our account for another {$180.00}, now bringing our account balance more negative and totaling {$720.00} that they now owe us. Upon discovery, we contacted the XXXX XXXX department yet again to be give more run-around answers leading us to believe it might take 45 days for the additional information to be evaluated. We were also told that the bank would not be issuing temporary credits during the waiting period. Meanwhile, our account has a negative balance. 
We repeatedly asked for phone numbers or to speak with someone at the bank that could help us, and we were repeatedly told that the people in the investigation department were unavailable by phone. Really? How ridiculous that BOA would employ such a process. 
Details pertaining to the fraud are as follows : - the purchases were made at XXXX by someone at an IP address traced to XXXX- we live in XXXX, and we were traveling at the time in the state of XXXX XXXX provided copies of our airline itinerary along with debit card transactions that we initiated in XXXX while on our trip.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX In the last week I have over {$600.00} dollars over charged by a grocery store I shop. 

Upon reconciling, then comparing and contrasting the charges to my checking I discovered - the same merchant debit over {$600.00} dollars above and beyond that which I authorized or consented to. 

Immediately, XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of Americas claims department to file a claim, I was told it would take 10 days or more to be credited those funds in excess of {$600.00} prior to calling my bank, I attempted calling the merchant and was on placed hold over 1 hour, and then disconnected. 

When calling B of A I was treated rudely, hung up on and disconnected numerous times just to report the matter. 

B of A claims process for their customers to report issues is extremely burdensome- and waiting 10+ days in order to receive my money back seems questionable. Not to mention it places a further hardship on their customers especially when it comes to being able to pay to pay their bills by getting their monies back timely.
