Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX, I received an email saying I was opening a Bank of America Account, but I did NOT open the account. I called and was told that someone was trying to open an account in my name. The account was stopped and I was told that they would prevent someone from using my information to open an account. On XX/XX/XXXX, of XXXX, I was informed that an account was OPENED and I did NOT open the account. I called Bank of America again, and they said that they stopped the account from being used, and that my information could NOT be used to open an account with Bank of America. Again, today XX/XX/XXXX, I have received another messaging indicating that I have successfully OPENED a bank account with Bank of America. I have called, and will be calling again tomorrow, as they have closed operating hours right after the account was opened. I have NO idea who I need to contact, but apparently Bank of America does not have good identity proofing, and clearly are allowing people to open accounts after already assuring me that they had preventions in place to STOP it from happening. I would like BOA to improve their fraud handling so that when they say they are preventing any account from being opened with my personal details that they in FACT actually STOP it from happening. I do NOT bank with them, and will NEVER bank with them, as they clearly are not protecting my information, even after XXXX calls to prevent this from happening again.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PA)

I contacted Bank of America several times after my account was closed within 2 months of opening with no notice. The account was closed during the hold period for a recently deposited check. That money was claimed by Bank of America and has not been returned to me. When I asked when I should expect the check for the remaining balance in the account before it was closed, I was told 7-10 business days. When I responded that it had been well over that time frame and I still hadnt received any checks, I was told there was nothing I could do about it.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
