Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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 was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. 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 as soon as possible.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (ID)

Bank of America closed my credit card account due to no purchase activity for 24 months. The credit limit was ~ $ XXXX and factored into my overall credit score calc used by XXXX. I found out about the issue through a text and email from XXXX XXXX asking if I intentionally closed an account. When I attempted to investigate and access the Bank of America app on my phone, the app told me it was " temporarily unavailable, try back soon ''. I then called B of A to investigate further, and they simply read their script that they had sent an email prior to closing and they would not undo the decision, and my only option is to apply for a new credit card with a hard-pull credit check ( all options presented by BofA would XXXX and further deteriorate my credit score ). I escalated to XXXX levels of management, and none of the employees were helpful. I shared with each of them that BOA sent me XXXX solicitations over the past 6 months so that volume created a junk mail status and sorted accordingly. I shared with them they also send me text messages and app notifications frequently and that would have been a better way to inform me that activity needed to occur to retain the account, though none of those methods are used by BofA for this scenario. Sending two, non-descript spam-like email is all BOA does to alert their customers in this instance and that is entirely shocking given the ability and authorization to text and use their app to communicate with me. The impact to me in this instance was a drop in my credit score as notified by XXXX XXXX.

After reviewing my submission I noticed that the Credit Bureaus stated that my account was properly investigated but how is that possible when some of the open dates are inaccurate, the dates last active are inaccurate, dates last reported are inaccurate and a constant reporting of collection every month is inaccurate and illegal? This is grounds for removal. 
They also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; 15 USC 1681 Section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

" 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. ''
