I Sent my letter off on XX/XX/2022. I told the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. I have also attached the letter I sent out and here is the Tracking #. 
XXXX and XXXX. 

According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They stated my account were verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate. And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. 

I have attached the updated credit reports still with inaccuracies across the bureaus after these items were verified according to the law.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NV)

On XX/XX/2020 we my wife received a welcome letter from Bank of America thanking her for opening both a savings account and checking account with them. She didn't do either. We received the letter on Monday XX/XX/XXXX, we immediately visited the closest BofA branch on Tuesday the XX/XX/XXXX. We talked to a banker who called the BofA Fraud department who only said they would look into it. The banker told us the only way to open an accout was to walk in to a branch with ID and Soc Sec number or valid ID. 

On XX/XX/XXXX we received a letter stating " We've completed our research on your claim listed above and determined you are not the person responsible for opening the account '' " At this time we consider your inquiry resolved and no further action is needed. '' This is not acceptable we want to file a police report with the copies of the ID used and or email address used. We met with the manager of the branch today and she contradicted the banker saying someone could in fact open up an account on line. We need to know how it was opened and what ID 's they used to open it. 

I have called the Bank of America Check Fraud department and they refuse to give us any information saying it would have to be subpoenaed. This is all wrong

It seems that my credit file with Experian and XXXX has been compromised. Upon reviewing my records, I've noticed numerous entries that are not associated with me. As I am meticulous when it comes to research, I've discovered that, according to section 605b of the FCRA, the Credit Bureaus are legally obligated to remove these unauthorized inquiries, which have resulted from identity theft. These disputed inquiries are not part of my history. I've attached the necessary FTC Report and the bank 's records, as both parties necessitate them based on my further research. Kindly proceed to eliminate these inquiries. If there is a chance that these inquiries are legitimately mine, I will require all documentation bearing my signature. My research has indicated that you are required to verify these inquiries with 100 % accuracy to confirm their authenticity, correctness, completeness, and verifiability. Failure to provide any records and asserting that the inquiries are verified would compel me to pursue legal action. I do not tolerate games, and neither does my attorney. Therefore, I kindly request that you comply with the law to expedite the resolution of this matter : EXPERIAN : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

In XX/XX/2018 I cosigned a private student loan for my daughter with Discover Student Loans. We were told it would not be problem to consolidate and refinance the loans in order to have me removed as a cosigner and my daughter have a better interest rate once she graduates. This has been anything but easy. Discover will not allow my daughter to consolidate her loans ( 2 ) and remove me as co-signer, stating she does not qualify. They are unable to provide any credit criteria literally stating " its different for everyone ''. I have spoken to their consolidation department and manager - XXXX. They are unable to provide and unwilling to try and locate this information within Discover. They simply say " we put the application information into the computer and the " computer tells us '' whether it is approved.This is unfair and abusive credit practices. Consumers should have the right to know the credit score, DTI and any additional credit criteria required in order to be approved to consolidate the student loans. More importantly ; consumers should be told this information prior to accepting and obtaining the loan with Discover.My daughter 's interest rate is over 9 % which is awful for a recent graduate to have to pay when they are just starting out.The initial sales tactics are flawed and misleading ; only to now deal with their back operation pitfalls and a denial with no further information. Consumers should be provided with the criteria needed to qualify. Please stop these companies from taking advantage of college graduates who are trying to get an education and provide themselves with a better life and career.
