Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
The XXXX is reporting that I was 90 days late in XX/XX/2019 and 120 days late in XX/XX/2019. This matter is incorrect. In XXXX of 2019, I recently completed my income-driven payment plan. The information reported should not be on my credit report. This was also during a time of medical hardship, I was diagnosed with XXXX Stenosis and had to have major XXXX. I qualified for the XXXX payment plan, and I was told that my account would be backdated and updated to current. That also included my payment history to the credit bureau. As you can see in the attached document, the reporting makes no sense. It goes from current to 90 days late, etc. I request that this payment history be updated to reflect a current payment history. 

I tried to contact the creditor with no success. My loan has been sold to another loan servicer and my request was disregarded. I tried to explain to the new loan servicer that this reporting of my payment history was incorrect and asked for it to be updated to reflect that it was current. They stated that they were unable to update this payment history because the debt belonged to XXXX at the time of reporting.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

According to the consumer law, you are in violation. Code 15 usc 1692j states It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. 12 U.S. Code 582 - Receipt of United States or bank notes as collateral. No national banking association shall hereafter offer or receive United States notes or national-bank notes as security or as collateral security for any loan of money, or for a consideration agree to withhold the same from use, or offer or receive the custody or promise of custody of such notes as security, or as collateral security, or consideration for any loan of money. Any association offending against the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not more than {$1000.00} and a further sum equal to one-third of the money so loaned. The officer or officers of any association who shall make any such loan shall be liable for a further sum equal to one-quarter of the money loaned ; and any fine or penalty incurred by a violation of this section shall be recoverable for the benefit of the party bringing such suit.

Complaint:
My wife and I are retired, and we live debt free. We don't buy anything unless we can pay for it in full, including our new ( er ) XXXX automobile. 
If and when we buy another home, we'll pay cash for the property or we won't buy it. 
We have money in the bank ( 6 figures in savings ) and use our credit cards but ALWAYS pay them off in full every month. 
I froze my credit a few years back ; my wife 's credit is still 'open '. 
Our 'Credit Score'* is pretty good I guess : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX. XXXX : XXXX XXXX. XXXX : XXXX But the fact that it is dropping constantly even though we pay our bills every month, and WORK HARD to live within our means, is making me crazy! And it tells me in no uncertain terms that the credit reporting agencies, financial institutions, and the Fed are complicit in keeping Americans buried in debt, while penalizing those of us that pay our bills and strive to live debt free. 
The reasons for our falling credit score? 
1 ) 'Not enough balance paid down over time on revolving accounts. ' We always pay our credit card balances down completely. Every month. 
I'm not even sure what 'revolving accounts ' are - but apparently we don't have them or are somewhere misusing them? 
2 ) 'No open real estate secured loans in your credit file. ' What? We bought our last home in XXXX, and after qualifying for a mortgage** to buy the house, paid the mortgage off in full within 2 years. Is it because we don't have a mortgage that we're being penalized? 
There are a couple of other reasons listed for our falling credit score, neither of which make any sense to us. We just don't get it. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX.

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

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX : I arrived at a BoA location to make an ATM deposit. I attempted to use an ATM. It gave me an error. Another customer was off to the side and noticed this. He said that ATM is having issues and that he is on the phone with BoA right now about an error that ATM just made on his transaction. I cancelled out of that ATM, walked over to the next one and made my deposit. When I requested an e-mail only receipt as usual, it gave me an error and printed one instead. I didn't think more of that - I threw the receipt away. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I noticed that BoA made the deposit successfully but also made a withdrawal at the same time for the same amount. I called in to dispute this as I did not make this withdrawal. I gave the rep all info including about the other person who was on the phone making a claim. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I received notice from BoA that my claim was denied because it was " The same person that used both ATMs ''. At this point I realized that the ATM glitches were causing them to think I used and made a withdrawal at the ATM that gave me an error. I asked them to re-check the claim and get photo and video proof that I was withdrawing money from that ATM. I specifically mentioned this being a BoA banking location lobby on XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, blocks away from XXXX XXXX. I mentioned this because they should have very clear photos and videos of that entire transaction that would be easy to pull. The agent said they will get back to me within 10 days, the standard for claims. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I called in BoA to get an update on the status. The first agent said they don't see any updates since XX/XX/XXXX and they asked me if BoA had reached out to me since XX/XX/XXXX. I said they did not and requested an escalation to a manager. I spoke to a manager who told me that the guideline for reopening claims is actually 60 days and that they do not have any limit on the amount of time to review a re-opened claim may take. 

It's at this point now that I'm frustrated because BoA glitched out, took money from my account, refused to properly review the claim, did not communicate the " guideline '' for reviewing reopened claims, and now they are telling me they have no timeline to review the re-opened claims.

Complaint:
I had a tree take out my house XX/XX/2017. This traumatic event meant I had to live in hotels and an apartment while XXXX rebuilt my house. During this time, I was not receiving my mail on a regular basis and I had to establish an array of payment arrangements with XXXX, a creditor for my younger son 's viola. Despite my paying XXXX and the music collection agency, XXXX, these debts are still shown on my credit score. When I log into Experian, my FICO scores show as XXXX with Experian and XXXX with XXXX. However, when banks pull hard credit records, they report low scores of XXXX. It's very confusing as I paid off the majority of my home with my ex-husband but I'm being penalized as if I never had a good mortgage payment history. 

Documents I am including are : a snapshot of my current scores from when I access Experian 's website ; XXXX paperwork showing my case re : rebuilding my home and settlement paperwork from the sale of my house, which could not have gone forward if the loan was in arrears. Correspondence fro XXXX is also attached. 

I appreciate feedback why credit records have little accuracy and accountability ; I have been working to fix my credit for over a year ; it's quite disheartening. 

Thank you for your time. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
