Complaint:
Bank of America ( BoA ) through their Card Services division is using their size and might to influence legal transactions by discouraging legitimate commerce in otherwise private transactions. Specifically BoA is advocating for anit-gun groups by refusing to do business or allow business transactions to occur using their credit/debit card services for firearms and firearms accessories. It is not, in any manner, a good business model for a large corporate bank to stick their nose into my affairs by tracking/assessing what goods and services I choose to purchase which are legal, and thereby disallowing my transaction to occur simply because of the BoA mantra in how they want to influence the marketplace.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I went online and made a payment to my American Express credit card account in the amount of {$3800.00}. The funds were taken out of my account by ACH on XX/XX/2023. I received my next statement for XXXX and XXXX XXXX payment was reflected as received. I received my next statement for XXXX  with no mention of the {$3800.00} on it. Now, on XX/XX/XXXX I get an email from American Express saying there is a problem with your account and they have not received the {$3800.00}, two months after they received the payment. American Express did a three-way call with my bank who assured them that the funds had come out of my account and were never returned. I have called American Express multiple times and can not get it resolved. They keep saying it was returned but it was verified by my bank that it was not returned. American Express has been horrible to deal with and I am at a loss as to where to go from here. We have had this account for over 30 years with no issues. I always thought American Express was the safest credit card to use but I was terribly wrong. I am in desperate need of help to resolve this issue.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a significant issue I have encountered with the credit reporting agencies regarding an identity theft incident. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify the situation, I have been met with inaction and a lack of proper investigation from the credit bureau, which has resulted in significant harm to my financial and personal well-being. The incident in question pertains to a fraudulent account that has been reported on my credit report. I filed an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I also submitted disputes to the credit bureaus involved numerous of time, along with all necessary supporting documentation, including the FTC identity theft report, police reports, and notarized affidavits. However, instead of conducting a thorough investigation as required by law, the credit bureau in question merely asserted that the account in question was mine without providing any concrete evidence to support their claim. This response is not only inadequate but also violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its requirement that credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation when consumers dispute information on their credit reports. The violations that I believe have occurred include but are not limited to : Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation : The credit bureaus in question failed to fulfill their legal obligation to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the disputed account, as mandated by the FCRA. Lack of notification : The credit bureaus did not provide me with written notification of the results of their investigation within the required time frame, denying me the opportunity to review their findings. Disregard for supporting evidence : Despite providing extensive documentation, including the FTC identity theft report and police reports, the credit bureaus did not consider this evidence during their investigation, undermining the integrity of the process. Failure to block fraudulent information : The credit bureaus did not block the fraudulent account from my credit report, allowing it to continue negatively impacting my credit score and financial standing. Refusal to correct inaccuracies : The credit bureaus refused to correct the inaccurate information on my credit report, thus perpetuating the harm caused by the identity theft.

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute accounts and inquiries that are reported on my consumer credit report referenced below that are the result of identity theft and any unauthorized inquiries and demand verifiable proof bearing my signature/electronic signature. I never authorized such action and this constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B.

I have contacted these companies and found these actions were initiated without any compliant validation or original proof from any of the companies reporting. These accounts and inquiries are not factual since I never authorized them and are therefore the result of identity theft and or the illegal reporting of my consumer information by creditors and or 3rd party data furnishers.

Issue: Getting the loan

Complaint:
I went onto XXXX to look for an auto refinance loan. 
Autopay.com was offering me a personal loan quote for my refinance of 3.97 % and a term of 60 months. 
I applied for this loan offer and spoke to Autopay and informed them that I am only interested in a loan at those terms. 
They promised me I had nothing to worry about. 

Later I receive notice from one of there partner lenders that I am being approved for a loan at 8.01 %. I did not apply for any loan at this interest rate. I did not apply for a general refinance loan where the lender would offer me interest rates after a credit inquiry. 
I applied specifically for a loan at 3.97 % and a term of 60 months. 
This hard inquiry has now caused me damages to my credit report.
