Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Your failure to comply with federal regulations is a serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and could result in an investigation by the FTC.

Im sure youll want to tend to my request as soon as possible. To recap it all for you the following needs to be removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please delete these fraudulent accounts from my file ASAP. Also, I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate a list of inquiries that I believe are reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will not be tolerated.

Please investigate the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, 2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 2023, and XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/2023.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

What happened : In XXXX, before leaving the country, I diligently requested Bank of America ( BOA ) to close all my accounts, including both my debit and credit cards, through their phone customer service. I was assured that all outstanding balances were cleared, and the accounts were successfully closed. However, unbeknownst to me, the credit card account was not actually closed ( while the debit card was closed ), leading to the accrual of a small amount of interest. Unfortunately, I wasn't informed of this until it had already become past due for several months while I was already in a different country, adversely affecting my credit score. Despite promptly settling the dues upon discovery, the incident has significantly hindered my credit opportunities since my return to the country this year. / What I did : I tried to contact BOA through the phone around two weeks ago, the customer service said they couldn't find any of my credit card history but could submit a report for me. Yesterday, I received the letter from BOA ( letter date is XX/XX/XXXX ) and it states : '' We reported that we closed this account on XX/XX/XXXX. This means we won't be adjusting our report like you requested and consider your dispute resolved. '' / How it impacts my life : Experiencing a sense of neglect from Bank of America after being assured of account closures, I'm struggling with the belief that once you cease to be their customer, they no longer prioritize your concerns. This has significantly impacted my life, leading to new credit application rejections, despite steady employment, due to the overlooked credit card issue. I earnestly hope for a fair resolution and a chance to rebuild my credit standing.
