On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report, it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts should be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Wakefield & Associates did not produce an agreement between the said company and I that authorized the company collect on alleged debt. It is a violation to 15 usc 1692f ( 1 ) and considered unfair practices to claim that a consumer owes a debt without the proof of an authorized agreement. I am challenging Wakefield & Assoicates to provide the agreement under penalty of perjury. Wakefield & Associates attached a verification letter, but failed to state that I had 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt which violates 15 usc 1692g ( a ) ( 3 ). Wakefield & Associates also said that another company " referred '' the alleged debt. This is referral is also considered false and misleading pursuant to the FDCPA 15 usc 1692e ( 6 ) ( B ) Again, where is the contract between the company I? A sale, transferal, nor referral subjects me to any unlawful act under the FDCPA. No company can collect without an agreement. I would like to bring to the company 's attention and for the record. According to 15 usc 1692j ( a ), 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. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( c ), I demand Wakefield & Associate to cease and desist all communications including the removal of all accounts that the company alleges that I owe. The company 's failure to follow my cease and desist order will lead to the pursuit of remedy for all injuries against me pursuant to 15 usc 1692k. I will be sending my invoice along with my Affidavit of Truth to Wakefield & Associates stating all facts which includes each violation and the damages that you have caused me.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madame, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am an American citizen who lives in XXXX, XXXX. I have a bank account and credit card with Bank of America. 
This past XXXX, there were false credit charges on my credit card to places in the United States. Obviously, I could n't have been been in these places to make the charges. I contacted my bank, and had to close the credit card. Because of security, I had a new credit card brought to me by hand, and it had been specifically sealed in a way that nobody could have used the new credit card. When I got the new credit card in mid-XX/XX/XXXX, there were already charges on it. It was for a video place called XXXX for {$130.00} from XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I do not live in the States, so I could not have been renting videos. I contacted the XXXX XXXX company, and they could not find this charge, could not match the transaction number to me, and said they did not have an account for me. I contacted the credit card, and they said they would do an investigation into this fraud, and would not require shutting down my credit card, which I feel is a necessity for emergencies here. 
Recently, I got a letter from Bank of America requesting me to sign a statement that I had never authorized the charge, and that I needed to close my account in order to continue the dispute. This was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. In the letter, they said that if they did n't receive the letter back on XXXX XXXX, the same day they had dated their own letter, that they would close the investigation. I signed it, and sent it in, with some hope that they might recognize the error. 
Unfortunately, now I am being billed with the fraudulent charges, and the bank has not done any research into the smallest facts : I do n't live in the country, I did n't have the credit card at the time the charges were made, I never made an account with XXXX, which seem like part of a prior spree of fraudulent credit card charges.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. 
( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.
