I contacted BofA regarding the rejection of my XXXX XXXX XXXX and expected a reasonable explanation. Instead, I received a generic response listing all possible reasons for rejection. Please refer to the attached. 

Allow me to address these points : Ineligible purchase : The charge was for a check-in luggage fee, which is eligible. 
Combined with a ticket purchase : The luggage fee was paid separately during flight check-in, not combined with the ticket. 
Reached maximum benefit for the year : At the time of the purchase, I had not yet reached the maximum benefit. 

I have documentation that supports all of the above. If you need this evidence, please let me know. 

The remaining reason is that " it wasn't made with a qualifying airline. '' This is vague without a clear, publicly accessible list of qualifying airlines. If this is the reason, I request that you provide a URL link to the list. Otherwise, please provide the specific reason for the rejection, along with supporting evidence. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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

This reporting agency has repeatedly failed to maintain accurate and consistent information on my credit report. This widespread inaccuracy demonstrates a clear failure to adhere to their legal obligations under federal consumer credit laws, including : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) - Requires credit reporting agencies to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information. The numerous inaccuracies and inconsistencies across my credit report suggest a failure to properly investigate and correct erroneous information.

2. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605 ( c ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) - Limits the duration that negative information can remain on a credit report. Potential re-aging of accounts, as evidenced by inconsistent " Date Last Active '' entries, violates this provision by potentially extending the negative impact on my credit report beyond the allowed time frame.

3. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) - Obligates furnishers of information to update and correct inaccurate information. The persistent reporting of inaccurate information by the creditors or collection agencies reflects non-compliance with this requirement.

4. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ) - Prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations. Inaccurate reporting of account statuses, balances, and dates constitutes misleading information that can significantly impact a consumer 's creditworthiness.

5. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6802 ) - Protects the privacy and accuracy of consumer information. The mishandling and inaccurate reporting of my personal financial data indicate a breach of this act.

The numerous inaccuracies and inconsistencies in my credit report highlight a systemic failure by the credit reporting agencies to fulfill their obligations under federal consumer protection laws. These violations have significantly harmed my creditworthiness and resulted in financial damage and distress. Immediate corrective action is required to address and rectify these issues to comply with federal consumer credit laws.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that this account is fraudulent though your company claims to have verified this. 

Depending solely on your flawed XXXX system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX  the courts ruled each and every time that the XXXX  couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question.
