A simple overdraft does not constitute fraud. Moreover, any fraudulent act must also demonstrate intent. This is why that BANK OF AMERICA must produce any and all documentation that would warrant suspected fraud. Suspected fraud without documentation is not fraud at all thus BANK OF AMERICAs intent is to cause harm to me the consumer in this case. When did BANK OF AMERICA notify me, the consumer, of this adverse information as required under FCRA. 

Since EARLY WARNING SYSTEM has repeated the inaccurate information, this has caused additional harm to me, the consumer. 

This false information has caused me financial and mental harm since you ( BANK OF AMERICA ) has refused to correct or delete this false information. I am unable to open another checking account due to the SUSPECTED FRAUD ACTIVITY that BANK OF AMERICA has noted on this closed account without any documentation demonstrating fraudulent activity. I demand that BANK OF AMERICA forward valid documentation of fraud or delete the account as required under FCRA. 

I am demanding that you ( BANK OF AMERICA ) provided accurate documentation of fraud activity to me with regards to this issue or delete this information and halt reporting this inaccurate information to the reporting agencies, XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXXXXXX XXXX, with in thirty days of receipt of this letter. 

Failure to do so as required under FCRA, I will seek {$1500.00} per day from the time you ( BANK OF AMERICA ) began reporting this false and inaccurate information, XX/XX/XXXX, until it is deleted. 

BANK OF AMERICA, provided me with accurate documentation or delete the erroneous information and send me a copy.

Complaint:
I opened an account with XXXX and I tried logging on to make a payment but I was locked out, they said they opened a case and they would look into it as I wanted to recover my account so I can pay it as I have excellent credit. I called a few times and they said they were still working on my case that they would expedite it. I called again and they said the same thing. A month went by and they sent me an email that needed to verify my identity and I needed to upload a picture of my ID, I did as what I was told and never heart back. I went to try and log in a few weeks later and it let me log-in and pay my balances off in full. After I paid it I received a ding on my credit for 60 day and it dropped my credit score XXXX points. I have no other late payments besides this. I would like this removed from my credit as this was not my fault. I may have to sue them because I can't have this on my credit report.

Complaint:
I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute. This information is unauthorized, and I did not approve it to reflect on my credit reports. I believe I may be a victim of identity theft. I have a security lock on my credit report, and I was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report. I have placed multiple disputes and complaints, and police reports with these companies, but these companies continue to show neglect by refusing to remove the accounts. These companies are continuously unreasonably halting commerce and have damaged my relationship with other creditors and have hindered my ability to obtain certain licenses with the state. This is a recurring problem that needs to be rectified. These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. in addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items. If the accounts are not removed a federal charge will be filled against the following companies " XXXX XXXX XXXX, EQUIFAX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ". This charge may lead to a lawsuit.
