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 XXXX regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes XXXX 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 an 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 bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as equifax 's XXXX date 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.

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:
Back in XX/XX/XXXX I had been laid off and struggled financially the whole year looking for work at many places and took a few jobs that helped prolong my savings while I continued to apply for more positions. It was finally in XXXX of XXXX after my savings was depleted and the couple jobs I worked didnt bring in enough that I contacted XXXX XXXX who we pay our mortgage through to let them know I am going to be experiencing a financial hardship and what can I do ahead of time so that I dont mess my credit up and have to go into foreclosure. They sent me to a department where I make smaller payments but they still marked me as late payments which I feel does not reflect my character and my financial habits which I am very responsible. Thats why I reached out to them ahead of time. I feel that under the circumstances I should have the derogatory mark on my FICO score removed so my score can improve. I am purchasing a business with up money Ive saved up and would like to apply for a business credit card but dont want to apply until I know that once my credit takes a hard hit that it will be worth it.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Bank of America Credit Card Rewards Revocation Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with Bank of America and the revocation of my credit card rewards without a proper explanation. I believe that my rights as a consumer have been violated, and I seek your assistance in resolving this matter. 

On [ XX/XX/2023 ], I received notification from Bank of America stating that my credit cards were cancelled & when I tried to use my rewards it didnt let me when I reached out to them I was told that was there policy and they can not give more explanation.However, despite multiple attempts to seek clarification, I have not received a satisfactory explanation for this action. As a long-standing customer of Bank of America , I have always fulfilled my obligations and maintained a good credit history. 

I am deeply concerned about the lack of transparency and communication surrounding the cancellation of my cards & rewards. I have diligently accumulated these rewards through my regular card usage, and their revocation without a valid reason has significantly impacted my trust in Bank of America as a financial institution. 

I also have all my wealth management retirement accounts with them. And that really makes me think how I should trust a institution like this. I used these cards to pay for my child classes and regular daily gas groceries etc. 

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with Bank of Americas customer support, but I have not received a satisfactory response or a clear understanding of why my rewards were revoked. Given the circumstances, I believe it is appropriate to involve a regulatory authority like the CFPB to ensure a fair resolution. 

I kindly request that the CFPB thoroughly investigate this issue and intervene on my behalf to rectify the situation. I seek an explanation for the revocation of my credit card rewards and appropriate restitution if it is determined that Bank of America has acted in error or violated any consumer protection regulations. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to protecting consumer rights. I look forward to a prompt and fair resolution of this complaint. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CO
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I had an invoked power of attorney over my father who was deemed XXXX  early in XX/XX/2018. I made dozens of calls to NFCU overseeing his accounts to prevent any more fraud and theft from occurring. I had a valid POA in place and the very person who had abused him financially was then allowed to take over his financial through a fraudulent document and phone calls by manipulating the system/him and calling in saying he wanted my valid POA to be revoked and to place her in control. They went with the criminal activity all along, which in essence is aiding and abetting crime. He was XXXX by two medical doctors, in a locked XXXX unit, and had no ability to make XXXX XXXX. NAVY FEDERAL should have protected his accounts by not allowing the theft to occur as I gave them all evidence prior, during and after the fact. I have continued to fight to get this money back that was stolen from my father and that NEVER should have been, had Navy Federal done their job. There is no way his financial documents should have been taken over and diverted, period. There is no question as to the FRAUD that took place. He was XXXX! My power of attorney was invoked to protect him. They not only did not protect him but have given me the runaround for the past 7 months trying to dispute this. Credit Union NAVY  FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Desired Resolution They need to take responsibility for allowing a XXXX XXXX   adult who was in a locked XXXX to be the victim of upwards of {$20000.00} in theft by a known perpetrator. They need to refund his account as they ALLOWED the theft to occur. They did not do their background check and erroneously took part in this crime and argue that he should be held responsible. 
While this is not technically Identity theft per se, it is similar, as the person who stole form the account holder impersonated herself as some one who should be given the POWER of Attorney under false pretenses. She knowingly and willingly knew she was not to touch any of his financial accounts. She had just been deemed to have exploited him in a state investigation for elder abuse. This was all conveyed to the NAVY FEDERAL credit union, along with phone numbers and documented paperwork. She in no way had any notarized power of attorney, had not revoked mine and no authority to take over his funds and steal from him. The fact that NFCU is in my opinion a crime, as I worked tirelessly to protect him and what they did is not only help the perpetrator but force me to get an emergency court injunction, adding thousands of dollars in legal fees.
