Company: BMO HARRIS BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Complaint:
I am filing a complaint about the BMO Harris Bank because I have received a bank statement about a checking account that was opened under my name without my approval nor my knowledge. I have never opened any type of bank account with BMO Harris Bank as I live in New Jersey and there are no BMO Harris Bank branches that are located in New Jersey. I had called the phone number that is listed on the bank statement a couple of times to verify who had opened this account but they refuse to disclose this information by either stating this this account does not exist or that they would close this account and submit a " credit dispute '' so that this would not negatively impact my credit score. I highly suspect that this is a case identity theft because in addition to opening the checking account without my approval nor my knowledge and not disclosing the information that I was asking for ; the bank statement that was sent to me appears to be fake as the po box address that are listed on this letter are inconsistent and does not match with the actual bank branch addresses that are listed on BMO Harris Bank 's website. I would truly appreciate it if someone can please take a look into this matter and take the necessary steps to report this company to appropriate law enforcement authority or make the public aware about these fake bank statements are being sent from BMO Harris Bank. 

I had filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX about this matter. The response that I had received from BMO Harris Bank was the following : " We are in receipt of the complaint for the above referenced consumer. We welcome the opportunity to respond to the consumers inquiry. A letter was placed in the mail to the consumer on XX/XX/2023. We are not posting the contents of the letter in this forum. Please let us know if we can assist further regarding this matter. Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. ". In addition, I received a letter from BMO Harris Bank acknowledging that the bank account was opened using my personal information without my authorization and they had recommended that I should file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about this issue.

It's exhausting and has damaged my reputation and caused me to not be approved for life sustaining necessities.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I received a text asking me if I had tried to send XXXX via XXXX to XXXXXXXX XXXX. I responded No but immediately called Wells Fargo Bank to see what was going on. They told me it was a scam and had me to send a screen shot of the text to their phishing department. Less than 10 minutes from sending the email I received a phone call from the Wells Fargo number and put it on speakerphone. The gentleman told me he was an employee of Wells Fargo and was calling to save my money. He proceeded to tell me to transfer my money in savings to my checking account. He even knew how much I had in my accounts. He gave me an email address of XXXX. He had me go to XXXX on my WF app and had me to start sending my money to this email on XXXX. I told him I didnt feel right about this but he said he would never jeopardize his job with WF and gave me a badge number of XXXX I had a witness, my roommate, XXXX XXXX who was hearing the conversation so she can attest to what was said. I begrudgingly sent my money telling him the whole time I didnt feel good but he just kept reassuring me everything was legitimate. He then told me he would send me an email to change my username and password but didnt receive in 5 minutes and called WF to find out why and she said I had been scammed. She filled out disputes for me and told me how to change my username and password. I am in a XXXX home and have no way to replace my money. This was for me to go to my daughters wedding and if I dont get the money back I will not be able to go to her wedding.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I was checking my credit reports in early XX/XX/2021 and noted my TransUnion credit score is much lower than XXXX and XXXX. After further research I found an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that only appears on my TransUnion credit report. The report shows a delinquent account in the amount of {$350.00} that was supposedly initiated in XX/XX/2021. I know I do not have any accounts through this company, nor do I have any accounts that are not in good standing. After conducting a XXXX search of this company I noted hundreds of people have this same issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting fraudulent accounts to TransUnion ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I initiated a dispute with TransUnion and received results from TransUnion today ( XX/XX/2021 ) stating the account is valid. This is simply untrue and is causing me to have to pay higher interest rates on accounts that I have. I need to have this removed from my credit report as I am seeking to make other purchases that will require my credit to be run.

Complaint:
In XXXX, I visited a few car dealerships to shop around and explicitly told these dealerships that I do not want my credit report run because I will be getting financing through my credit union as well as making a down payment. These dealerships then took it upon themselves to run my credit report over 20 times across different banks to try and find a rate that would beat my credit union even though I had just asked them not to do that. They did so against my wishes because they were aggressively trying to make sure I left with a vehicle that day. Below are these frivolous inquiries segmented by credit bureau.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
Based on my investigation, the credit bureaus are misrepresenting the information because XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage 's reported that my mortgage increased by {$10000.00}. There was a forbearance taken which should not have resulted in {$10000.00} being added to my mortgage loan to give the appearance to the credit bureaus that it increased. I was told by XXXX XXXX Mortgage that it would not be reported in this manner to the credit bureaus which was untrue. I was led to believe that there would be no penalties for taking a forbearance. This process of convincing a customer to take out a forbearance and that it will have no impact on the credit score should stop. It is misleading and deceptive to a customer. In addition, XXXX XXXX is reporting the mortgage account one way on their " XXXX XXXX '' dashboard with a different balance than in another section of their website under the mortgage payment section. So there is conflicting payment information on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website for my mortgage loan. This appears to be a " glitch '' in their system that is unresolved which creates confusion for the customer. Their on-line website reflected conflicting information for my mortgage loan beginning in XX/XX/2021. Prior to XX/XX/2021, it was being reported correctly on their website. Their new enhancements with the " XXXX XXXX '' has created conflicting information in their system for my mortgage loan resulting in the way the balance is reported and shown to others.
