State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There has been a hard pull on my Credit report by Bank of America dated XX/XX/2023. 

I never authorized such hard pull to Bank of America, or any products affiliated with them. I am not a Bank of America customer nor was I soliciting any of their products or products affiliated with them. 

I have done extensive research to see what could have caused the hard pull, but all I can conclude is that this was not me, I never authorized this credit check. It was either an error or it was the result of fraud/identity theft. 

I have sent a written letter to both Bank of America and the credit reporting agencies a few weeks ago but have yet to hear back. 

I would like to speak with someone in Bank of America who can provide more context and ideally, acknowledge the mistake and have the hard pull removed from my credit report.

Complaint:
I am going through a very ugly divorce, my estranged husband joined a cult ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX ). He filed a bogus lawsuit against XXXX, XXXX, the VA, etc... .I took over making the mortgage payments in XXXX when I discovered that he was not making the payments. I reached out to XXXX and was working with their legal team to help me protect myself and the mortgage. I was advised to place a security pin on the account so that he could not call in under me when I filed for divorce in XXXX. In XXXX the XXXX Police Department XXXX team removed XXXX from the house when an order of XXXX was served against him. I have made every payment on time for the past few years since I took over the payments. I schedule my payments in advance due to my extensive travel schedule. I scheduled my XX/XX/XXXX payment in advance as I usually do, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX stating that my payment was not made and I told her my payment was made back in XXXX. I looked on my bank account and did not see the money withdrawn. I went back on the website and the payment had been canceled. I immediately rescheduled the payment and spoke with another representative about what I could do to protect myself. I was advised that they could not stop him from accessing the loan account online because his name is on the loan. The part that hurt the most that XXXX would go months and months without reporting my positive payments but this one incident that I had no control over was reported immediately and it affected my credit score. I reached out to them and asked them to correct this as it was not my fault. I emailed them twice and called numerous times. I opened a dispute with the credit bureaus and nothing was done. I was told to schedule my payment the day I want it to come out, to keep him from canceling. I can't do that when i am overseas or traveling. I have tried refinancing but he would have to sign the documents. My attorney is back in court with a TPRO against my estranged husband as he has did this also with my bank account. I sent this over to XXXX XXXX. The mark on my credit report will hurt me with trying to refinance as my credit has been affected. This is unfair to me as I make my payments and there is no way to help me against this man and the malicious things he is doing. I am asking for XXXX XXXX to remove the 30 day mark against my credit.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Grain Technology has inaccurately reported a 30 day late payment on my credit reports. My minimum payment is {$20.00} due on the XXXX of each month. The late payment is for the month of XXXX. My due date was XX/XX/XXXX. I made a payment of {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX days after my due date. It was a few days late but Not 30 days. Grain Technology acknowledged the payment through email on XX/XX/XXXX. A week later after acknowledging payment Grain sent me an email stating I was 2 weeks past due on my account. I was very confused by this but knew it clearly had to be an error in their billing department. So I tried to contact Grain immediately. Grain has no way of communicating with customers. Their phone number is an automated voicemail and they dont respond to emails or letters. They are also breaking the law by not having a way for customers to directly dispute an issue with them. Ive also disputed the late payment with XXXX and XXXX it has not been reported to my XXXX report yet. After sending proof of payment XXXX has still denied my request for removal. XXXX is going to send results in the mail. 30 day wait time thats a long time to wait while my credit score has been ruined by this. I want Grain Technology to inform the Credit Bureaus to remove this inaccurate 30 day late from my credit reports update my account to the correct balance and create a way for customers to communicate with them. This could have easily been resolved with a phone call but they have no customer service. That is unacceptable when you have such a major responsibility to consumers.

Complaint:
Investigation Request Letter To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had the right to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. 
Some of the people reporting things on me. I have never heard of which made me write to you all. 

Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 i ( a )? I hear that if you can't provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well. I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back to me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them. 
I demand the following accounts be verified or removed immediately. 
Name of Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SD XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
First the credit card company has been wonderful about trying to resolve this complaint. The problem is XXXX XXXX refusal to admit to incorrectly force me to purchase another ticket in order to fly. XXXX XXXX shares with XXXX where I purchased XXXX tickets from XXXX, FL to XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/2022 for travel on XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Everything seemed fine, including a valid PNR in my XXXX account to this day. Seat assignments email reminders were sent and acted upon with no problem. Upon arrival at the airport we were told that my wife 's ticket had been voided. We stood at the ticket counter for 3 hours XXXX told us that we would have to purchase another ticket. Since it was 45 minutes before the flight, we had no choice but to do so for {$850.00}. There was nothing in the computer in my XXXX PNR nor as of XXXX XXXX on the XXXX PNR. How would a ticket voided on XX/XX/XXXX remain valid in both airline systems to this very day. Additionally, XXXX did not issue the ticket until XX/XX/XXXX. Both PNR 's are attached. 
XXXX does not maintain a customer service line and the only available communication is by chat. You can see that the agent in the chat, admits holding the ticket in question not as void but as 'not flown '. XXXX insisted i resolve the issue with XXXX. 
XXXX, though, issued the new ticket as a XXXX ticket not as a XXXX ticket and therefore the new ticket was the property of XXXX. My credit card company has tried twice to get XXXX to refund the {$850.00}, to no avail. 
I have never heard from XXXX or XXXX outside of the initial chat session. They document to my credit card company that the ticket was " VOIDED DUE TO REASONS UNKNOWN ''. How does that hold up anywhere. They don't know why the ticket was voided after 8 months time. Credit card company has all documents
