Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I have been working on several things listed on my credit file that report as duplicates and are past the statue of limitations. XXXX  and Experian keep reporting several student loans twice under different companies. There are a total of 9 student loans reporting with XXXX XXXX that should have been removed because they were transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Both companies report the same exact information and XXXX XXXX no longer have the accounts. The delinquency months are the same, same open dates everything is the same. They are the same exact accounts however looking at the report they appear to be an extra 9 negative files. When a mortgage company transfers the servicing they remove the initial company and report the account with the servicing company the same with any other company for that matter. If you sign up with someone and they don't hold the loans they don't have the information because the new company has all information.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus a month ago, yet the erroneous information on my report persists. I have not received any updates from the Bureaus, apart from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have conducted a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my report? What procedures were utilized to verify the accounts? This entire situation is exceedingly frustrating. Over 30 days have passed since I lodged my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this issue is not resolved, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, which has been compromised by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT)

On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX XXXX, I called Bank of America XXXX to understand my withdrawal limits. I was told that I could withdraw, {$2500.00} each 24 hour period. I go to the atm, and try to withdraw, {$2400.00} and of course, denied. 
I call Bank of America and after 45 minutes on the phone, they finally, clear my account and allow me to withdraw the money. 

On Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX, I know I need to make another withdrawal. I call Bank of America in the morning to confirm everything is all set, after waiting the 24 hour period, to withdraw another {$25000.00}. They say yes, good to go. 

I go to the ATM, denied. I call Bank of America, and they tell me to try with {$800.00} withdraw, denied. They can't figure it out and I wait 90 minutes to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor tells me to try a few more times, denied. The supervisor tells me to go to another ATM. I take an XXXX to the other ATM, denied. I have tried now 8 times to access my own money, following Bank of America policies. 

I had people waiting for the money, who I know have to pay extra, because, this is 3 hours later.

After almost four hours on hold, and people trying different things, I had to go to a different banks ATM. I was charged a fee, and had to do multiple transitions as the ATM only allowed {$500.00} withdraw at once. That means I was charged multiple fees. 

I went into the bran the next business day, XX/XX/XXXX and I was told the manager is out and no one can help me. 

I called Bank of America again, to figure out what happened and close my accounts. In order to close my accounts, I needed to speak with someone on the investment side. They were supposed to call within 72 hours, never called.

I followed all of Bank of America 's policies, waited 24 hours the limit, etc. 

I am now out {$150.00}, that I had to pay people for waiting for me to get the money, two XXXX rides, and XXXX plus hours of my time, I don't have the funds for a lawyer and need assistance holding Bank of America responsible.
