Therefore, this account is inaccurate and needs to be deleted.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I sent letters out to all 3 credit bureaus regarding items on my credit report that are not accurate which is a FCRA violation and you must abide by the law. All information I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I am the one sending the letters and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair or 3rd party. I know this is a violation of my rights due to the bureaus not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I just want these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I am trying to purchase a home soon and these negative items are holding my score back.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

I sent a dispute letter by certified mail on XX/XX/2023 to Bank of America to dispute the charge off they put on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/2023, I received a response letter from Bank of America to the dispute I had sent. First of all they sent their response is written in XXXX and they did not send an English version of their response even though my dispute letter is in English so I had to have the letter translated. 

In this letter they do not send competent evidence or records of validation that is bearing my signature, they only sent one page letter with a recently written dollar amount in the letter and the date the account was supposedly open without any official records or competent evidence bearing my signature for that debt. 

The dispute letter I sent specifically requested this, " I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with the corresponding local state laws. Please note that I am requesting " validation '' ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay you. '' Bank of America did not provide this in their response letter, they did not properly verify the debt. 

Please also be aware that any negative mark found on my credit reports ( including XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) from your company or any company that you represent, for a debt that I don't owe, is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA ; therefore if you can not validate the debt, you must request that all credit reporting agencies delete the entry. 

I attached the dispute and response letters to this complaint

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY)

I bought an item from an online store and returned it. I reached out to the company about my return and they told me there would be a {$12.00} fee to return the item using their label, which was fine. The amount of money I should have received from that company was the purchase price minus the {$12.00} return label. After they received my return in the mail, they refunded me far less. They sent an email ( attached ) where they have some random 26.19 % charge on my return- with XXXX explanation as to what that is or why it's coming out of my return. I reached out to them to ask why I wasn't refunded my full amount and they didn't give me a straight answer. Given that the product I returned was unopen AND returned within the 30 day window as stated on THEIR site 's return policy ( attached ) I should be entitled to a full refund less return shipping costs. I raised a dispute with American Express with screenshots of the store 's return policy as stated online and despite raising a ticket twice, American Express has told me there's nothing they can do- which is ridiculous. Return policies are posted online for a reason. Stores can not just make up reasons to keep part of your funds because they feel like it and if a company like American Express is presented with ample evidence as to the store 's return policy, they need to ensure the store honors it.
