Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I received an alert from Experian, XXXX  and XXXX  about an account being reported by XXXX. 

Please be advised I have requested validation { not verification } of an item reported to Experian by XXXX. I have received a response that clearly violates my rights according to XXXX. 

XXXX did NOT provide me a XXXX release that releases my medical information to them, therefore by providing such information they are in VIOLATION of my XXXX  rights. I am proceeding with legal action as prescribed by law against XXXX should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law. I will seek every legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation as well. 

I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously as I have no idea where this debt is coming from and I do not owe this company any money.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I attended an event and was introduced to XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX   as a prospective lender to work with. We had a brief discussion where I asked him from the onset if he executes a soft or hard credit pull because I did not want my credit to be pulled without the appropriate planning. He indicated that he does a soft pull for pre-qualification and it would not affect my credit score. Later on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent XXXX XXXX an email ( attached ) refreshing our conversation. Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX replied back ( see attached ). On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, at approximately XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX and I spoke via phone to discuss my needs. He took my information which included my address, SSN, DOB, etc. I assumed that he was acquiring the information to have when he would run my credit. XXXX XXXX never asked for consent or indicated that he was pulling my credit right at that moment and I never provided written consent authorizing XXXX XXXX to run my credit. Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification that my credit score had changed because of a credit inquiry. When I investigated further I found out that Informative Research was who pulled the credit. I immediately reached out to XXXX XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX to inquire whether he pulled my credit. He indicated that he did and I expressed that I had no idea that he was doing so. Additionally, I expressed that when we spoke on XX/XX/XXXX where I inquired about whether he conducted a hard or soft pull that he said that it would be a soft pull and would not affect my credit score. XXXX XXXX said that he completely explained to me that he would run my credit. I expressed that I was clear that my credit would be accessed but I should be the one to decide when that would take place and that it should be perfectly clear and he should be given consent from me to access my credit. XXXX XXXX then expressed that he was upset that I was contacting him early Saturday morning. I asked XXXX XXXX to look at things from my perspective as a customer and that if I knew that he was going to be pulling my credit I would not be reaching out to him to inquire and I only knew because my credit monitoring service alerted me. XX/XX/XXXX, I sent XXXX XXXX an email ( see attached ) requesting that he rescind his actions as an error. XXXX XXXX advised that it was not possible and that he felt that he completely explained that he was pulling my credit.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I received a new Bank of America card for my account and was told by customer service today XX/XX/2018 that my account XXXX had been closed last month for inactivity. When I spoke with customer service I was informed that the account could not be reinstated because the terms and conditions were no longer available. 

I have had an account with them for nearly 30 years and I suspect that my account came under scrutiny because I had retired last year and this was an easy way to eliminate the account that was no longer as profitable for them. 

They offered to let me apply for a new account under what I assume would be less favorable conditions ( Especially because my income has obviously changed since my retirement.
