" 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. ''

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MI)

I was told by a bank teller on XXXX that XXXX money orders for {$500.00} each would clear my account on XXXX. It was printed on my receipt that they would be available on XXXX. On XXXX I received an email stating that they would be placed on an extended hold until XXXX and was given no reason why. On XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX with the money order receipt numbers and was told that that had been cashed on XXXX so the funds were available. 

Bank of Americas website states Deposit holds typically range from 2-7 business days, depending on the reason for the hold. For deposits made on weekends, funds are considered deposited on Monday ( the first business day ), so the hold will go into effect the next business day ( Tuesday ).

In some cases, the length of the hold can change based on new information we may receive or discover. If this happens, you will be notified promptly through mail and/or email. 

I was advised on XXXX to call the bank the next and speak with a supervisor to see if they could release the 10 day hold on my money orders, which they could not. I would like to get my money and close account. They deceived me when they told me one business day in person when it actually turned into 10 days which isnt even in their policy

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing
Company: OpenRoad Lending (TN)

I was checking into my credit score and accounts on XXXX XXXX. Saw recommended that I had very good or excellent odds of approval for the total outstanding balance on my vehicle. Good interest rate ( almost half of current rate ), advertised for the entirety of the loan amount remaining. I applied with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Was informed after my credit had already been run that they would only be able to finance me half of the amount of the loan. There is more on the loan than the current vehicles MSRP, but the issue for me is that what was projected to me for application ( and even pushed as a great option with great approval odds ) was based on my specific loan amount tied to my vehicle information. It was unethical in my opinion for this firm to advertise the full amount of loan for refinancing. Cost me time, got my hopes up having found a good option, cost points on my credit score and an additional hard inquiry on my credit report. They took my information, but did not hold up their end of the bargain. To me that is misleading advertising and marketing and cost points from an additional hard inquiry. I cant be playing games like that. Trying to get my family into a home and protecting my credit is important to me. Simply put, what was advertised was not the case.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Direct Recovery Services, LLC (NY)

I get repeated calls from ( XXXX ) XXXX & ( XXXX ) XXXX. They leave a message that this is a confidential matter and that they are trying to collect a debt. I do not identify myself on my VM, so they should not be leaving this message. They have also called my parents house and my ex-husband and left messages on their VM. They are not respecting my privacy. They say on the message to go to the website and enter the account number they give to pay the debt. I tried just to see if this is for a legit debt and the account number doesn't exist. As far as I'm concerned this is a scam. They threaten to take legal action if the debt is not paid. The voice on the message sounds like a robot. They identify themselves as Direct Recovery Services.
