Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

Complaint:
I received correspondence from Bank of America ( Letter head ) with their website information www.bankofamerica.com dated XXXX Reference # : XXXX I received a letter that stated I need to call them - they are working on my application for the XXXX XXXX XXXX and they needed to verify the information on my application. I never applied for a credit card from them. Furthermore, the letter stated that it is important that they hear from me within the next 30 days or they would have to cancel my application. I disregarded the letter, thinking it was a scam or a mistake. 

Last week, I received a credit card in the mail from them. I cut up the card, since I never applied for this credit card, nor do I want one. Over the weekend, on XXXX, I received an invoice in the mail with a balance due of {$59.00} with a due date of XX/XX/2022. I contacted their customer service number and was able to contact a representative that day. I asked how they obtained my information for an application I never completed. The representative could not answer this question and could not cancel my card over the phone unless I provided her with my address, which I did not want to disclose, thinking this could be a scam. 

What is very concerning is that I never applied for this card. I dont know how Bank of America obtained my information to process this application. In their letter they stated the information was not complete. Nevertheless, I received a credit card anyway and got billed for it a week later. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called Bank of Americas fraud line and spoke with someone who said they would cancel my account and not bill me for anything. Hopefully, it will be taken care of. Im worried about their business practices, though, which seem deceptive. 

Please advise. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Complaint:
I reviewed my equifax credit report and saw that they have 4 accounts named XXXX and 4 accounts named XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I sent them proof of the inaccurate information then I sent them another letter on XX/XX/XXXX due to the inaccurate information still reporting on my credit report and them not getting back to me. They have not responded back to any of my letters. Equifax has XXXX accounts that are wrong and should not be reporting on my credit. I have given them ample amount of time to get back with me and they have failed to do so. These accounts have caused me to be denied as I am trying to purchase a home. I have studied the consumer laws and see that they had 30 days to get back with me and because they didn't these accounts have to be deleted.

They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

Complaint:
Issue : I have 2 bankruptcies listed on my Experian report Action : I have repeatedly and regularly written letters to ask them to provide verification of these two items and provide me with documentation showing the validity of these items.

Result : Since contacting them once a month for the last 6 months, they have only responded by saying the information has been verified by the company that provided it.

I wrote to the United States Bankruptcy Court in Illinois and Florida inquiring about what they reported about me to the bureaus. They responded on letterhead stating " The bankruptcy court does NOT perform any activities with the credit bureaus. You must contact the individual credit bureaus for their procedure for removing your bankruptcy filing from their report. '' This MEANS that the information on my credit report was NOT reported by the courts. It was reported by a 3rd party. This information provided by a 3rd party has never been verified as mine and since it is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to report false information, I am asking that these two items be deleted permanently from my report. EXPERIAN is the ONLY credit bureau reporting this information.

Complaint:
I have contacted the collection agency XXXX XXXX directly, as well as, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX   since XX/XX/2019 disputing the error that is being reported in the amount of {$3200.00} Account Number XXXX ... and the amount of {$310.00} for Account Number # XXXX ... This is heavily affecting my quality of life. Neither the collection agency or the credit bureaus has provided me with a contract or other legal proof supporting their claim. Both of them just send form letters that avoid the request to show proof. I need their ridiculous paper shuffle to stop. By law, I do know that they must provide the information as I requested or stop collection effects and delete the errors.

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I am appalled by the ability of the Credit Reporting Agencies to keep ignoring a consumer 's request for the correction of the disputed accounts on my Credit Report. Under the FCRA section 609 and 611, the Credit Bureaus are required to verify the information and status of the account being reported on my Credit Report. But in my case, Experian has kept reporting the disputed accounts claiming that the information they present is accurate, in which I greatly disagree. I am submitting this complaint to you today to request that Experian provide me copies of documents bearing my signature to verify the status of the disputed account. If the Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the condition and continuer the reporting of the disputed accounts, please understand I will seek legal action. I need the accounts corrected as soon possible XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date XXXX Balance : $ XXXX Late Date XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance : $ XXXX Late Dates XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Balance : $ XXXX Late Date XX/XX/XXXX

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I just received the response from the company ARS and they are once again not sending me any signed documents stating this debt belongs to me nor any information pertaining to show that this debt ARS is claiming is mine. Any information they have sent is just showing my name and charges received. It is still not confirming by any signature of documents or anything specific to show the debt from them is my debt. It could have been possible identity fraud due to my social security card, birth certificate, and passport were all lost together so Im trying to validate in anyway to see if this is my debt by a signature, photo in the building etc. I 've already reported my items lost and once again ARS is refusing to show me what signed documents or any information from the hospital they are collecting from that I was the one to agree to any charges. They are not even showing me the original agreement only sending a paper saying the debt is validated from another party and assuming I am the one who agreed to it.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I recently submitted a complaint about my 7 late payments from XXXX XXXX. They took off 4 of my 7 late payments, not all 7 because they said that the time I reached out was not in Credit acceptances timely manner, even tho when I did reach out they assured me that they would report NO late payments but still reported 7. I now still have these 3 lates that is still hurting my credit score and completely stopping me from obtaining a mortgage loan. Section 4021 of the CARES Act, Credit Protections During COVID-19, temporarily amends Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under this temporary amendment, an institution that makes an accommodation for one or more payments on a consumer credit obligation must report the obligation or account as current. This Act was signed in XXXX of 2020 and is effective u til the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. My remaining 3 late payments are from XXXX  2020-XXXX  2020 which meets the time frame criteria in the cares act. I am asking that credit acceptance please remove those lates as they are the only creditor reporting late payments on my credit profile, hurting any chance of my obtaining new lines of credit.
