Complaint:
I purchased this loan product in XX/XX/2019 from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$12000.00}. I made my payments on time until I consolidated my loans. A payoff check was sent to them from my bank and process on XX/XX/2019. Their company sent me an email stated that my obligation to them was paid in full on XX/XX/2019. I still have that email in my possession and can provide it if needed. I requested a statement from them when they attempt to say that I still owe them money. That statement shows that they processed the check. They are still trying to get more money from me and it keeps increasing. It is also on my credit report. I saw online that they do this to customers that pay off their loans earlier. I do not know what to do and have attempted to resolve this with them. This has really destroyed my credit score. Please help! They should be shut down for these practices. I do not want anyone else to deal with this.

Complaint:
I am writing this letter on my own accord without any assistance from a credit repair agency/specialist or 3rd party individual. I have reported this error multiple times and the information is still being reported wrong. And due to this false reporting it is causing me anxiety/financial hardship by making it impossible to find a place to stay. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. The credit bureaus stated that my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is inaccurate.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX claims XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX that the account was not current. It was indeed current. Attempts to make contact have been met with hassle, run around, inaccessible email accounts, and limited contact information. I filed a dispute with credit reporting companies in a limited capacity. As they do not allow me to dispute issues within those date ranges for a reason that is not explained or articulated in any way whatsoever. 

XXXX XXXX dishonestly misrepresented themselves previously during refinancing after a COVID forbearance reorganization of the mortgage. Claiming they did not receive documents that I provided receipts of them receiving. After I filed an FTC claim on that issue they recended their claim and corrected the problem with an apology. 

The ability to contact anyone or resolve this issue is time-consuming, confusing, and misguiding and is not even available to dispute through at least one credit reporting agency. 

I simply desire the errors to be corrected as soon as possible.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report.I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd paty.They in fact did not come from a 3rd party.l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CT
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
I have not used my Bank of America credit card since XXXX of XXXX, nearly XXXX  years. The reason is simple : when I navigate to the Bank of America website -- or use its banking app on my XXXX -- I can not determine whether the auto-pay feature is activated. 
I have contacted Bank of America numerous times to point out this shortfall, and have indicated that I will not use my credit card until they revise their online portals to indicate CLEARLY whether auto-pay is activated. 

I have switched to XXXX and XXXX credit cards -- charging up to {$10000.00} per month -- because their websites and apps indicate clearly whether auto-pay is activated. 

Similarly, I have discouraged my wife, son, and daughter from using their Bank of America credit cards. 

An objective observer would conclude that Bank of America conceals this information because their business model depends on customers missing payments and accruing interest payments.
