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

Complaint:
Dear CFPB, I'm writing out of desperation. 

I'm a Bank of America customer, and have been using their credit card to pay off a balance transfer. I had set up automatic payment so that {$800.00} gets deducted every month. However, for whatever reason, this feature was turned off without my knowledge, and as a result my credit card balance went unpaid for one payment cycle. I didn't sign-in to my bank account because I assumed it was on auto pilot. 

It's weird that Bank of America didn't notify immediately but instead waited 1.5 so that they can charge me late fees. It wasn't until a week ago that I received a notice from them about the outstanding balance. I immediately called BoA and they re-set up automatic billing ( which still doesn't show up when I log into my online account ). However, the damage has been done as my credit score went from a XXXX to a XXXX. If they had notified me immediately after the first payment was missed, this would never have happened. It is irresponsible of them to wait until late fees have been added and the late payment has been reported to the credit bureau to contact me, especially given that I have never in my 20 years of being a banking customer missed a payment. 

I've always had excellent credit, have NEVER missed a payment in my life, so this is truly a major blow for my financial situation as I'm about to look for an apartment in the XXXX area but with a XXXX score, I won't qualify for housing and am looking at the possibility of being homeless. I'm trying to rectify this situation and would appreciate your help. Bank of America needs to be held accountable for what they did. 

I would like your help in removing the late payment from my credit report. 

From what I can see, they purposefully disabled my auto-pay, did not notify me that the payment didn't go through so that they can charge me late fees. In my 20 years of being a bank customer with many different banks including XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. I have never encountered anything like this. However, I suspect BoA is doing this to a lot of customers to generate additional revenue in fees. They need to be investigated and stopped. This is how regular, financially responsible people like myself can go from financially stable to destitute and homeless. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you can help me get this situation sorted out and hold Bank of America accountable. 

XXXX

On XX/XX/2016 an individual contacted me via telephone stating he worked for student loan relief/Obama forgiveness program.

State: MI
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:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I initially disputed a bankruptcy discharge which was reporting on my XXXX and Experian credit reports. As a result both credit reporting agencies falsely claimed that they verified the account with the US Bankruptcy Court XXXX Michigan. On XX/XX/XXXX, I re-disputed the Bankruptcy account again with XXXX and Experian. As a result both credit reporting agencies falsely claimed that they verified the account a second time. At this point I decided to reach out to the Us Bankruptcy Court asking them to provide me with confirmation that their office verified the account with XXXX  and XXXX. As a result the Bankruptcy Court sent me a letter in writing, which I have attached as proof to this complaint, stating that they do not report individual case filings to credit reporting agencies, nor do they update information directly to the credit bureaus. The month of XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a third dispute to both credit bureaus, with the letter from the Bankruptcy Court attached, informing them that I have proof that they falsely verified the account. I also requested for them to provide me with valid proof of how they verified, and if they failed to provide proof to immediately remove the bankruptcy account from my credit report. I understand that XXXX XXXX is the reporting agency that verifies bankruptcies and other public records. I placed a freeze on my XXXX XXXX profile as of XX/XX/XXXX, which would have made it impossible for XXXX and XXXX to verify. The account still remains on both of my credit reports with XXXX and experian, which has caused me mental and emotional stress, and I have not been able to obtain several financial goals due to this unverified account being on my profile. Their failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the 317 FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if credit agencies are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, the account must be removed. I ask that the CFPB demand this action to help me resolve this matter.
