Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent closure of my Bank of America account. My name is XXXX XXXX and I received notification from the bank that my account was closed due to a " business decision '' without any further explanation. As a customer, I believe it is my right to be informed of the reason behind this decision. 

I understand that banks have an obligation to prevent fraudulent activities and I appreciate their efforts in ensuring the safety and security of their customers. However, in the absence of any explanation, I am left with concerns that my personal information may have been compromised and used for unauthorized purposes. It is imperative that I know the reason for the closure so that I can take necessary actions to protect myself and prevent any further misuse of my personal data. 

I went to Bank of America branch and called customer service, both were rude and talked to me like I committed a crime and that the reason for account closure is because of a mistake from my side, which is not true at all. 

I strongly believe that every customer deserves transparency and respect from their financial institution. The sudden closure of my account without any explanation is not acceptable, and I request that Bank of America provides me with a clear and detailed explanation for this decision. I hope that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible and that my concerns will be addressed accordingly. 

Thank you. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required XXXX XXXX XXXX compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH capital one 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 in XXXX days to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and it
s 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 XXXX days before the payment due date. 


Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX 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!

Upon contacting the respective companies, they confirmed errors and agreed to update my account, removing the late payments. 

The account in question is : XXXX XXXX. 

The reason for my dispute is that your agency has not provided sufficient information to verify the debt in question. XXXX and XXXX, another credit bureau, has already corrected the inaccuracy this account from their records due to an identified error.

I am writing this letter to convey my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with the manner in which your bureau has responded to my identity theft complaints. This issue encompasses not just the theft of my personal data but also the apathetic approach exhibited by your bureau in managing my situation. As a victim of identity theft, I have been forced to endure significant hardships, both financially and emotionally, due to the actions of my ex-wife, who maliciously stole my identity and used it to open unauthorized accounts, make fraudulent transactions, and tarnish my credit history. I provided all the necessary documentation to prove my innocence and the criminal nature of the actions. Despite the gravity of the situation and the profound impact it has had on my life, the response from your bureau has been alarmingly lackluster. I have received minimal communication regarding the status of my disputes, and the responses I have received were generic and unhelpful. This lack of attention and urgency has left me feeling ignored and abandoned by the very institution I relied upon to protect my credit and financial well-being. I request the deletion of the accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
