Complaint:
I am writing to you today to express my concerns regarding fraudulently furnished late payments that have been added to my credit report by your company. I have reason to believe that I am being extorted by your company, which is a serious violation of my right to privacy. As you may be aware, Congress has mandated that all financial institutions have an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. The addition of these fraudulent late payments to my credit report has caused substantial harm and inconvenience to my financial reputation due to fraud, which undermines public confidence in the banking system. According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b ( a ), a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. Additionally, I should have received a negative information notice no later than 15 days after the alleged debt was validated with me as the consumer. If your company can not provide proof that they lawfully validated this alleged debt with me before furnishing it on my consumer report, then it is my belief that this has been a fraudulently furnished late payment with forethought and malice intended to cause me harm. Please be advised that under 15 U.S. Code 6821, any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation to a customer of a financial institution is a violation of federal law and will be held liable under 15 U.S. Code 6823 ( a ), with fines up to {$500000.00} for a felony by an organization, imprisonment for five years, or both pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 6823 ( a ). I demand that these late payments be updated to PAID AS AGREED and that each late payment be deleted from my credit report immediately to prevent further harm to my financial reputation. I will consider any non-reasonable response as frivolous and will file a fault judgment in the favor of the interest of me, the consumer, the holder in due course, the attorney, and the administrator in fact. I am giving you 15 days from the date of delivery to respond to this notice. Failure to disclose requested documents SUCH AS all documents, papers, correspondence, books of account, and financial and corporate records. or provide a response to rectify any faults by Bank of America will serve as acquiescence and your agreement to a default judgment against your company for the dishonor in the negotiable instrument, bank fraud, creation of the false and deceptive form, mishandling of goods, compromising my relationship with other financial institutions, and including stress caused to me in the attempt of exercising my rights in good faith. I expect you to handle this matter with ordinary care and address all subject matter. I thank you in advance for your anticipated quick cooperation on this important matter.
