Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
XX/XX/2021 : I placed an order with XXXX ; the {$120.00} charge was approved. 

XX/XX/2021 : When I checked my bank account, I discovered that a second charge of {$120.00} was charged. This made the total deducted from my account {$250.00}. When I contacted XXXX, I was informed that the banking industry allows their company not only charge on the original order, but they are " legally able to make a second pre-authorization charge referred to as a 'soft-charge ' ; the second charge will drop off in 4-5 business days ''. 

The banking industry and the company are disregarding the negative impact that this double charge can have on non-commercial and/or large deposit bank accounts. Individuals who are only able to keep enough on deposit to pay bills, risk having their accounts overdrawn through no fault of their own. 

I take issue with this practice. I will be contacting my local Politicians, Congress and the Senate to lodge a complaint about a practice that borders on usury!

Complaint:
In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

The information attached below, which appears on my credit report, does not relate to any transaction ( s ) that I have made. It is the result of identity theft.

Hello, I have recently noticed fraudulent activity on my credit reports.

I am requesting that the fraudulent items be deleted from my credit report at your earliest convenience. I actually have a security freeze on my accounts which should have alerted me prior to my credit being ran. I did not receive any notification or alert to my credit being ran for these accounts which is concerning. These fraudulent items are reporting inaccuracies which is directly impacting my relationships with creditors as I am going through the home buying process. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission, please review the enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commission 's Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. I have listed the additional fraudulent accounts below : XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Amount : {$170.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account # : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Amount : {$2700.00}

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

I never attended XXXX XXXX College nor lived anywhere near XXXX. ( Please see attached letter dated XX/XX/XXXX reiterating the situation ). ALSO, attached is a copy of the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - ( XXXX ) dated XX/XX/XXXX wherein they state in paragraph two that the " XXXX   was inadvertently directing our collection efforts to your attention for a federal student loan account belonging to another individual ... '' This incorrect reporting is harming my credit score.

Complaint:
Disappointing Service and My opinion not worth the {$95.00} per year. 
I found Chase XXXX rewards membership is misleading in couple of counts. 
I booked my hotel via Chase website. But they are not adding the hotel loyalty number despite the fact that they do not pass the information on to the hotel group. 
When I signed up I was looking for a good travel card where I can optimize my hotel loyalty membership. During my research I found that Chase has flexibility with Hotel reward membership, at least thats what they want people to believe. 

Now when I signed up I found that it is totally misleading. The hotels reservations you make through Chase ; you can not add your loyalty membership. Although they ask you to enter it while booking making you believe that your loyalty membership is considered. Possibly to make the customer feel that they will get their hotel membership privileges. Preveleges like late checkouts, free breakfast etc wont be available which Otherwise would have been available. 

When you call customer service they ask us to call the hotel directly to make them add your loyalty number. Again misleading customer to get off the phone and just try to 'escape ' the call.

Complaint:
Experian.com has been sending me emails that have in the subject the total of my debt. These emails also show up as notifications on my phone and because they are in the subject line, anyone can see them if my phone is present. This is an egregious privacy problem, especially because it's in the subject line and can be seen when I open an email account without opening the email. I never have received emails from any business that had exact figure personal financial information in the subject line.This started shortly after asking for credit report XXXX and I receive these and similar emails with credit limit info in the subject line. I have contacted them XXXX about the problem and received a message of a reply in 2 days. I never received a reply.

Complaint:
I have two student loan accounts open with XXXX  XXXX XXXX in XXXX, PA. The problem at hand occurred in XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I had graduated from my university and no longer had access to my .XXXX XXXX account. For some reason, XXXX  XXXX XXXX was only sending my bill to the .XXXX  XXXX address, even though they had my mailing address AND personal email address on file. I didn't notice until XXXX of XXXX that my account was overdue and marked delinquent from no payments from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, for 2 accounts, which would equal 16 late payments in total. Upon contacting XXXX  XXXX XXXX, they provided me no resolution and told me nothing could be done except for me paying the overdue accounts, which I did immediately. This practice is extremely unfair and has brought down my credit score significantly, for a problem with this Federal Servicing agency, that is taking advantage of students by not communicating or providing notification through the proper channels for payment and billing. The fact that it took me 6 months to realize my account was overdue by pulling my credit is very alarming. I could only imagine how many others have faced similar problems with this agency. I have started formal disputes with credit score agencies as well, but have received no resolution on these matter as my credit still stands and these late payments will tarnish my credit score for long-term and prevent me from buying a home. I am not receiving and help or solutions from this XXXX XXXX XXXX department, nor the major credit unions on my dispute to get my credit score fixed so i can move forward. I could even pay off all the accounts in full today, so it's unfortunate that I have to suffer because of a systemic issue of this XXXX student loan agency from years ago that made a big mistake and refuses to take the action necessary to make it right for someone to move on in their future and purchase a home.
