I was received an emailed about my information being in the Equifax data hack so I pulled my credit reports and found there were multiple accounts that are inaccurate and should not be on my credit report.

An XXXX item ( sink water dispenser ) purchased on XX/XX/2023 for {$190.00} was delivered to my house from USPS. Almost immediately, someone followed the mail carrier up the path and stole the item. The mail carrier tried to stop him but the person wouldn't leave the package. I filed a police report and called BofA Card Benefits. The agent there said it was covered ( my guess is there is a tape of the call ), and gave me forms to fill out. I filled them out, sent them and receipts and police reports. I got a response of " this benefit does not apply to real estate and items intended for real estate, including hard-wired and hard-plumbed items, garage doors and openers, ceiling fans, among other items. Please refer to your Guide to Benefits, which outlines what items or losses are not covered. '' The promotion of the card says " Purchase protection for items lost or stolen within 90 days. '' Nowhere on the website can one find a link to a Guide to Benefits, nor can one find one in BofA 's search facility. 

If BofA wants to promote " Purchase Protection '' on its website, it should be required to have a very visible description or link to a description of all of the caveats. They can't just promise something and then apply rules to which customers have no access.
