Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

I was shocked and devastated to see credit inquiries without my knowledge. I have reached out to the creditors to ask the following but they have FAILED to provide such.

Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry.

Application Documentation : Request copies of any credit applications or other documents related to the inquiry. This may include application forms, agreements, or disclosures that you would have completed or received when applying for credit.

Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report.

Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor.

Internal Records : Ask the creditor to provide internal records or notes related to the inquiry, including any decision-making processes or reasons for initiating the inquiry.

Identity Verification : If identity theft is a concern, request verification measures taken by the creditor to confirm your identity before initiating the inquiry. This may include verification of personal information or identity documents provided during the application process.

Compliance Documentation : Inquire about the creditor 's compliance with relevant laws and regulations governing credit inquiries, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AK)

I received an offer in the mail for and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I applied online with the promo code and was offered a card through Bank of America. On the same day that I got the card in the mail I also got a " suspicious activity '' letter in the mail that I found out later was just an intentionally misleading letter used to get me to call in and answer a series of security questions that were supposedly meant to confirm my identity. When I became suspicious that this could be a phishing scam I started to ask a lot of questions. They did nothing to ease my discomfort and ultimately urged me to go into a Bank of America branch to get help. After doing some research I called them back and attempted answer their questions so I could get the hold cleared so that I could use that card. After answering ALL of the questions ( which included both personal information as well as a series of " public record '' questions ) I was told I had to go to a branch to provide 2 forms of ID again! THERE ARE NO BANK OF AMERICA BRANCHES IN XXXX! They knew this fact but they would not work with me at all. I felt like I was being treated like a suspicious criminal the entire time and was never able to get the card activated. So here I am... I am basically in limbo with this card.. waiting until they close the account which is going to negatively impact my credit score. I have been working to build my credit score for 8 YEARS and this has got me extremely angry and frustrated.

My mother passed away in XX/XX/XXXX, and I contacted the bank to inform them of her passing a few days later. I requested that they place a lock and a post no transactions on her account, which they informed me they would do. When I was able to take the time to go in to close her account in XXXX, I learned that they allowed XXXX debits to come out of her account. I requested to put in claims for the XXXX items that came out of her account and I was told that they were going to investigate the matter. I never heard back from the bank and had to follow up on numerous occasions. I requested the matter to be escalated because I wasnt getting any updates and was told that it was still being reviewed. The Branch Manager, XXXX XXXX was the person helping me, but I did all the follow up. I finally heard from a district manager, also named XXXX, and an operations manager, I believe was named XXXX. Both informed me that they would be following up with me. This was back on XX/XX/XXXX and I have received XXXX follow up yet again. My original claim was started on XX/XX/XXXX with Flagstar Bank and to this day, they have not provided any updates to me.
