When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. The following accounts that need to be investigated and corrected from erroneous reporting in my file are listed on my credit report.

My consumer report contains accounts linked to identity theft, which I never authorized with a written signature. Following my recent communication with your organization, I formally request the immediate blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant distress and inaccurately represents my credit history. If not addressed properly, I'm prepared to take legal action. These fraudulent entries have impeded important financial goals, including home purchase and family needs.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PR)

I recently opened a credit card line with Bank of America. Ive only used my card like 4 times with a total balance of {$160.00}. Everything was okey till yesterday I tried using my card and it said it was suspended. 
Today I tried calling Bank of America and they explained that my account is suspended because of verification issues. They explained that if I want to use my card I have to travel to a near Bank of America ( office branch ) so that they can verify some information. However I live in a place where there is no office branch. I would need to buy an airplane ticket to the United sates just to fix that. I then proceed to ask if I can close my account because that would be better for me. Yet the agent ( XXXX ) tells me I can not close my account via phone. I say my goodbyes and call again to speak to another representative to see if they say the same thing. However the other representative tells me I CAN close my account via phone and I statement for my balance will be sent to my mail so that I can pay it. I ask them 3 times are you sure I can close it though the phone and they say yes of course. I let em know I will think about what to do and end the call. 

I call XXXX hour later with the purpose of closing my account and the agent who answered my call tells me I can not close it via the phone and that I have to go to the nearest office branch ( XXXX ) to fix it. I explain what the other agent told me and he says sorry but that is miscommunication on our part and that no matter what I do I need to see them personally to be able to remedy or close the account. 


Its insane how they let a person open a credit card line and let em use the card a few times to later suspend it for verification issues.

Company: EdFinancial Services (OH)

I enrolled through for the SAVE plan on the student aid website and the company Edfinancial stated that I was still enrolled in the previous IBR plan that I was enrolled in. They stated I needed to pay an amount to switch, it turns out that they were supposed to contact me for this payment, but they never did. They then stated that since I hadn't paid the amount to switch payment plans, they denied the switch and proceeded to start accruing the interest on my balance ( they did this XX/XX/23, prior to when the interest would resume ). They never admitted to any wrong doing on their end and consistently said over the phone that I didn't switch my payment plan and that is why I was being charged.
