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: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
After a long investigation On XX/XX/XXXX, Bank of America Fraud department mailed me a letter stating that {$16000.00} was credited to my account ending on XXXX. The purchased was made by XXXX XXXX at XXXX and XXXX 's who was in cahoots with XXXX XXXX. Merchandise and hand written receipts are on XXXX XXXX name***Please see attachments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was pending the credit for account ending on XXXX for {$16000.00}, with the same issue that happened with the purchased for the card ending in XXXX which was resolved and I received the credit. After I called I was transferred to the dispute department, which was not the correct department, because the dispute department was not handling the fraud purchases, after explaining the situation to the representative she said that she was taking away the credit for the {$16000.00} on credit card ending on XXXX, this credit was given to me by the Fraud department. I was very surprise that this representative did not know anything about the matter that was revolved by the fraud department, so I asked for the supervisor, I spoke to the supervisor which immediately said that they were giving me the credit back and closed the case. Few laters I learned that was not the case, she did not give me the credit. Since it was late, I called the Fraud department next day in the morning and told the fraud department representative what had happened the night before, and the representative said to call the dispute department and tell them to close anything they have opened regarding the fraud charges, he also said that since the credit was given to me already that he was going to honor that and close the cases and reopen a new case on credit card ending and XXXX for the {$16000.00}. The representative also said that the claim department and fraud department are not connected, one department does not know what the other is doing and they have this happen in regular basis. I waited few days and the credit was never given back to me for the {$16000.00} on card ending on XXXX, and also the representative never re-opened the case for the {$16000.00} for the card ending on XXXX. I am very frustrated with Bank of America and their employees, I have been dealing with this for XXXX month and something that should have been resolved long ago is a completely mess now. Bank of America representatives are so unprofessional and have not knowledge of their business, these people are put there to answer the phone without any proper training. Their representatives are misleading, altering and changing the information provided to avoid doing the work.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
This summary addresses the issue of inaccurate reporting on my credit profile, which has resulted in the unauthorized use of my Social Security Number ( SSN ) by someone else. I am seeking resolution and assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to rectify the situation.I have discovered inaccuracies in my credit profile, specifically related to the unauthorized use of my SSN. These inaccuracies have led to fraudulent activities, with someone else falsely assuming my identity and utilizing my SSN for financial transactions and credit applications. As a result, I have experienced significant financial harm and potential damage to my creditworthiness.I have taken initial steps to address the issue by contacting relevant credit bureaus and reporting the fraudulent activity. However, the situation remains unresolved, and I now seek the CFPB 's intervention to ensure a thorough investigation and resolution of the matter. XXXX, XXXX, Transunion both received letters from me dated on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each credit bureaus have failed to provide proper validation for the alleged accounts : eastern account systems ( reporting on Transunion ) and XXXX XXXX  ( reporting on all XXXX bureaus ) None of the credit bureaus have provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. I have requested that all information that could not be properly validated be deleted immediately and my requests have been ignored. Based on FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ), Each bureau is required to forward all relevant information provided by the creditor for their investigation of my dispute. All each bureau has done is merely update the account date and imputed my name with the alleged debt. This blatant negligence to be compliant and refusal to take my request for proper validation will no longer be tolerated. The unverified items Eastern account systems and XXXX remain on my credit report and are a violation of Federal Law. As a consumer my rights have been violated by the credit bureaus. This refusal to remove the accounts after requesting proper validation is " negligent noncompliance '' under ( Section 617 ) I fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
This card is a Walmart Credit Card that is issued through Synchrony Financial. Over a month ago I noticed they were randomly applying payments to different promotional balance due dates. I called them up and requested them to re-apply my past payments from the later due promotional balances to the promo balance due first. Instead, they went back several months, took all my payments from non-promotional, interest accruing balances that had already been paid off, and re-applied them to promotional balances. This has resulted in interest being charged each statement period. I called and was told this would be correct immediately and that it was illegal ( a representative said so herself ) but I am still accruing interest for balances that were already paid off. I give them the benefit of the doubt to fix it and statements later it is still wrong so now I have to make a complaint. I need them to re-apply the payments and close out all of those interest accruing balances that they opened up by misapplying my payments in the first place. After going back several statement periods and fixing all payments they messed up and after ensuring they applied all said payments to interest accruing balances first, then they need to apply what payments are leftover to the promotional balances.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
Today I received an e-mail from Capital One Visa stating that my max credit line was decreased from {$53000.00} to {$30000.00}. The explanation for such dramatic decrease was worded this way : " Recent usage of this account for monthly spend has been too low ''. 

This is my business card and I intentionally keep high credit line to be used when I need to purchase expensive equipment or a large amount of supply. Such needs arose in the past and this prompted me to have a high limit available to provide more flexibility. 
My usual monthly utilization is about 20 % -25 % of the maximum. I have an excellent credit score and has never been late in my payments with any financial institution. 

As soon as received the e-mail, I contacted Capital One and spoke a rep and her supervisor. They expressed no interest in trying to help me reinstate my credit line max. 
" Wait for six months and then ask to increase your limit. Maybe you'll be successful, maybe not ''. 

Now I don't consider it to be even marginally acceptable. This is not how a respectful institution would treat a loyal business customer who maintained an impeccable record, and not only has an active business account, but also used personal credit cards and a sizable saving account with the lender. 

I would like the bank to reinstate the max credit line amount I had before they cut it almost in half without either notifying me or giving me an opportunity to agree or disagree with their decision. I see no reason for them to do what they did.

The issue is with XXXX XXXX arbitrarily adding a comment to the credit bureau identifying my home as " Affected by Natural Disaster ''. When I called the Bank the employee notified me that this is simply a comment that they add when the area around a home has been affected by a Natural Disaster. This is an unfair practice and affects the value of a persons home. This is something XXXX is doing to others and I feel that they are going to affect the home values of many people by doing so.

About three years ago my wife became XXXX and applied for Social Security XXXX. She has an attorney and a solid claim, but is still waiting for a hearing.
