Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

My account with Bank of America - XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made me the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Bank of America - XXXX  Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have identified significant inaccuracies on my credit report, which XXXX, Experian, and XXXX continue to verify as correct, despite clear evidence to the contrary. The continued reporting of this incorrect information is not only misleading but also a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 609 and Section 611, which require accurate reporting and thorough investigations of disputes. 

I have included proof that demonstrates the inaccuracies, yet the credit bureaus have failed to make the necessary corrections. This negligence in correcting the false information after being provided with clear evidence is unacceptable. I demand that this incorrect information be removed from my credit report immediately to prevent further damage to my credit standing. 

Please take immediate action to rectify this matter and ensure full compliance with federal regulations.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

I opened a high-interest savings account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I deposited {$100.00}, and then on XX/XX/XXXX, I deposited {$40000.00}. I received a mailed letter in late XXXX requesting copies of my DL and other documents to verify my identity, stating my account was suspended. I wrote a message to the bank in the bank 's online messaging portal on XX/XX/XXXX that read the following : Hi, I got a letter saying that my account has been suspended, and you need more info from me. I just want to make sure that the letter is legitimate before sending my personal info. Thank you! 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a reply that simply cut and paste the text from the letter I had already gotten. I sent in all required documents by mail in XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I still had heard nothing and my account remained restricted, so I messaged the bank asking for an update. I got no response. I wrote again on XX/XX/XXXX again asking for an update. This time, the response was an auto-generated message that read : Thank you for your message. One of our customer care representatives will respond to your inquiry within the next three to five business days. If you need more immediate assistance please call us at : XXXX. 

But I never actually received any response to my question. 

Finally, I called the bank on or around XX/XX/XXXX. The rep I spoke to had no access to information as to why my account was still restricted and said they would forward my request to a manager. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I got this message : Dear XXXX, Thank you for contacting Comenity Direct Customer Care. 

This request is still under review. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I can be of any further assistance. 

I have yet to receive a response, despite sending multiple messages again. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and the rep I spoke to again could not find the reason for my account being restricted, and said she would send a request for an account status update. I requested to close my account, as I no longer trust this institution with my finances, but was unable to do so, because of the account restriction. 

In short, my account has been restricted since XX/XX/XXXX, with no response from my bank as to why or how to resolve this immediately. These are my only savings and I need to be able to access my money. 

Thank you! 
XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

I submitted case XXXX a while back which was not correctly resolved and I opened other cases accordingly. On XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX again regarding this case.
