I filed this complaint with an overwhelming mix of distress and anger that any person in my situation would feel. I am utterly appalled by the shocking and unjust refusal of my identity theft claims by your bureau, despite the fact that I have provided concrete evidence in the form of both an FTC and a police report. Let 's not mince words here : the fact that you have chosen to ignore my legitimate claims is not only infuriating but also an affront to justice. I have been victimized by identity theft, and the toll it has taken on my life, my financial stability, and my emotional well-being is immeasurable. XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I was invited to apply online for a checking account with Bank of America. I did so, and received an email a few days later asking me to login to my account to fund it. I received no other information. There was no instruction how to login to the account. On the next Sunday I received an email that I was declined. I have been with XXXX for at least XXXX years, and have a car loan with B of A that is current. The main reason I applied for the account was because in the last XXXX years of having the car loan I can never speak to anyone personally at B of A about having the loan debited from my current XXXX  account. 

Literally everything through this car loan has boiled down to me having to call a phone number to get it debited each month. 

I don't like B of A 's interactions regarding my applications/loan. It feels unnecessarily arbitrary.

Complaint to the CFPB Regarding Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX Introduction I am writing to file a complaint against the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ).

Nature of Complaint On [ XX/XX/XXXX ], I submitted disputes to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. These disputes included [ Brief description of disputed information ]. 
The FCRA mandates that CRAs investigate disputes within 30 days of receiving them and provide a response. Unfortunately, all three CRAs failed to respond within the legal timeframe. 
Legal Basis 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA requires CRAs to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer. This includes promptly investigating the disputed information and notifying the consumer of the results within 30 days. 
15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) further emphasizes the timeliness requirement by mandating CRAs to provide a written response to the consumer within 30 days of receiving the dispute.

Case Law References In addition to the FCRA statutes, I would like to reference the following case law that supports my claims : Case 1 : Murr v. Countrywide Home Loans , Inc., 45 F.3d 1329, 1333 ( 9th Cir. 1995 ) ( Case emphasizes the importance of CRAs adhering to the 30-day investigation timeline ) Case 2-6 : These unnamed cases serve as additional examples highlighting successful legal challenges against CRAs for failing to meet the 30-day response deadline ( Please note you can replace these placeholders with the specific case names and citations you provided ) Request for Relief I request that the CFPB investigate these violations by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX and ensure they : Conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into the disputed information on my credit report. 
Provide a written response to my dispute within 30 days of receiving this complaint from the CFPB. 
Update my credit report with any necessary corrections based on the investigation 's findings. 
Supporting Documents I have attached copies of my dispute letters sent to each CRA and any correspondence received from them along with postal receipts Conclusion The failure of XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX to comply with the FCRA has caused significant harm by potentially hindering my ability to access credit and obtain favorable interest rates. I urge the CFPB to take appropriate action to ensure these CRAs comply with the law and protect my rights as a consumer. 
Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ] XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Louisiana XXXX Please note : ID and Proof of address.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored.

Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Per my previous case XXXX XXXX. The creditor stated that this account was last reported on XX/XX/XXXX. That statement is incorrect all three Consumer Credit reporting agencies are currently reporting this account, with different statuses and balance updates for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. So the letter that was submitted to CFPB in XX/XX/XXXX was fraudulent with regards to how the creditor was reporting this account. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX was issued to this account. A 1099-C is considered income per the IRS and will need to be filed as income for my taxes.

Income is not reported as credit to the consumer credit reporting agencies. Also the creditor sold my information to a third-party debt collector that debt collector was demanding payment for more than double the amount originally owed this situation was resolved in my previous case mention above. 
Also stated in the letter by the creditor that any payment you choose to send is voluntary and or nonrefundable. There are no payments due to the creditor due to the 1099-C this creditor has already received credit per the IRS for this account.
