Consumer complaint received 2022-08-03
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

Fraud dispute filed with Bank of America on or around XX/XX/XXXX for a charge of {$670.00} on my Customized cash rewards MasterCard. This charge labeled " XXXX XXXX " occurred on XX/XX/XXXX. This transaction was completely un-authorized and charged without my consent and knowledge. On XX/XX/XXXX Bank of America declined the dispute and reassessed the charges to my credit card bill without providing any evidence or reason as to why. 

Today XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the Fraud department to reopen the case and find out why they had not sent me any information regarding the decision. I also provided them with information and additional facts that should easily identify this fraudulent charge as fraudulent. 
Those facts are : 1. All XXXX transactions were supposed to be blocked on my account in the first place. This charge should have been blocked from the get go and never gone through. 

2. Bank of America had originally flagged this charge as a fraudulent in the first place, but still let the charge occur. Bank of America and I both have the text messages sent to me from them marking the charge as fraudulent. I work in XXXX a majority of the time. Therefore, I don't receive any domestic calls or texts. It was when I arrived back in the US that I received the text messages and promptly reported the fraud. This was 3 weeks after the charge occurred, well within the time-frame allowed to report the fraud. 

3. This transaction is well outside of my consumer spending habits. I have never spent over $ XXXX on the credit card. Usually for gasoline purchases as its a cash reward credit card. A {$670.00} charge is well outside of my spending habits, and should have immediately marked the charge as fraud. 

4. I was never sent any information on why this dispute was reversed.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  has placed a collections account on my credit stating I owe them {$37000.00}.

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC (NJ)

This account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX balance {$1900.00} has just popped up on my credit report without ever communicating to me. This company is violating my rights and not using proper communication methods when showing up on my credit report. I need the CFPB office to please look into my case. There was no written letter to me or calls to me so I can explain that they have the wrong person. They have recently just popped up on my credit report and I am not familiar with how they got my information or how they have my social security number. I do not owe this company and I Right now I am getting an alert on my credit karma and credit monitoring service saying my credit score has dropped tremendously. I can furnish the images of this alert showing the collections company. They are hurting me financially and this is a really big issue. To my understanding they must be compliant with laws and regulations that say they must write the consumer within days of the first communication. They are using my credit to communicate with me yet they NEVER wrote me before.If they don't write me then how could send me a right to dispute or explain my rights? Please review the original paperwork for this account. I request they send me a copy of this information to my address. I also request the original contract signed showing my signature long with all other pages of the original agreement. I am suffering damages because of this error. I have been a victim of ID theft before and I monitor my financial affairs very closely.To me this seems like an instance of debt parking that I read about on the FTC website. The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against debt collection companies that allegedly placed bogus or highly questionable debts onto consumers credit reports to coerce them to pay the debts. They label this as DEBT PARKING.The Federal Trade Commission recently took action against a Missouri collection company and its owners, alleging that they collected more than {$24.00} XXXX from consumers, largely by placing bogus or highly questionable debts on their credit reports. The defendants used this illegal debt parking to coerce people to pay debts they didnt owe or didnt recognize, XXXX XXXX XXXX director of the F.T.C.s bureau of consumer protection , said in prepared remarks about the agencys settlement with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS COMPANY and I am concerned they have unethically acquired my information and they are acting unethically with their debt collections. There is a process in law that protects consumers from these illegal actions. This account is lowering my credit score and if I am declined for anything, I will seek financial remedy by talking to an fdcpa lawyer.

I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.
