Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I received a call from an XXXX number. 
As I was on the phone with the supposedly representative, I was researching the number on XXXX, and it said it was a legit Bank of America number. The rep claimed that there were some fraudulent transactions in my account, but I couldn't see them online, next, they sent me a XXXX request from the same number that BofA sends me notifications in regards to XXXX, at this point I was very confused because my gut told me it wasn't a legit BofA call but all of their communication channels matched those of BofA. Finally, I hang up and called BofA back just to confirm that it was in fact a scam. How can they use BofA 's communication channels without BofA having any knowledge of it?
