I am writing to dispute the inclusion of this bankruptcy on my credit report. The dates filed and reported, as well as the closing dates, do not align. This situation is highly concerning as I possess a letter from the court clearly stating that this bankruptcy should not be reported to you.

On XX/XX/2023, I contacted BofA to file a claim for two transactions in the same amount for {$190.00} for the same merchant because the merchant tricked me after I made a purchase and I immediately requested a refund because I felt as though they had scammed me. I explained that to my bank and the claims process began. The bank issued a temporary credit for one of the transactions but not the other and I didnt understand why and I filed a complaint with the CFPB on XX/XX/2023. BofA finally concluded both claims and paid one of the claims and denied the other and I called them for an explanation on XX/XX/2023 and spoke with XXXX. XXXX told me that BofA received documentation from the merchant and that based on that documentation, both claims should have been approved and that she was going to re-submit the second claim for reconsideration and ask that it be expedited and she stated that it was a bank error but that it could take up to 45 days. I asked her why would it take so long given that the bank already received the documentation from the merchant to approve the claim and that she acknowledged that it was a bank error and she said that they could approve it faster. I asked her who she was referring to when she said they and she stated that she was referring to the research department at BofA. I asked her if the call was being recorded and she said yes and I advised her that I planned to file another complaint because I didnt believe that this was fair to me as the customer. 

***Footnote***I have another open complaint ( XXXX ) with the CFPB regarding the original claim and it has yet to be resolved even though BofA has stated that both claims have been resolved and I have yet to receive any written correspondence.

I read the clause and there is no place where it says payment should be made before XXXX, it says it should be made on the due date on a timely manner. It does not specify time. Now they are refusing to do anything about it, even after I paid them every month.
