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: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

I met with a financial counselor who checked my XXXX report and we noticed two debts, one with XXXX and one with Bank of America. I first went to XXXX and they dropped this fee and I was able to open an account there. I later went to Bank of America and decided to pay the debt that showed under " suspected fraud activity '' not because I did the fraud but because I wanted to clear that debt and open an account at XXXX. The date reported on the debt is XX/XX/2013 I was out of the country during this time as I was vacationing in XXXX, so it was impossible for me to deposit a fraudulent check in the account at this time. After I paid the debt with Bank of America I was under the impression that I was cleared and could open my account at XXXX, when I tried to I was denied and they said it was due to debt on my XXXX report. I called Bank of America multiple times to have this removed and they informed me that they will not be able to remove this from my report. I explained to them that I was away on vacation and sent them a dispute letter with my passport showing the vacation days as proof but still nothing was resolved. I then called Bank of America Check Fraud Claims department with my financial counselor, the representative told me that I should be able to open an account. She said to visit a branch and have a representative at the branch call the Check Fraud Claims department to have this cleared up. So when I went to the bank the representative called and informed me that I would not be able to have an account with Bank of America. I would like some help in clearing this from my XXXX in order for me to be able to open an account at XXXX.

I disputed an inaccurate reporting account in XX/XX/year> with XXXX and Transunion. XXXX has found that the account was indeed inaccurately reporting which is a violation to my consumer rights and removed the account from reporting. Transunion on the other hand never sent me a response or update from this account disputing. I recently just checked and the inaccurate account is reporting via Transunion. Transunion never held an investigation on their end and disregarded my dispute. XXXX removed and deleted account from reporting and to my understanding is that all 3 bureaus receive the same information on these accounts and should be reporting the same across all 3 bureaus. There is some discrepancies in this prior investigation with Transunion.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
