Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (IN)

BOA called me about my credit card payment. I told them that my husband has been very ill and XXXX co pays and doctor visits prevent me from paying my credit cards at this time. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I was checking my account and saw there was a {$170.00} payment made to my BOA credit card. I called them about it and they said I made the payment which was not true. They said they would refund the money in 7 to 10 business days. After 15 business days I called them again. They said it was done through my bill pay which I do not use. Again was told they would refund the money. I called them back and they told me that since it was done through my bill pay they could not refund the money. I even checked bill pay to make sure that I didn't somehow do it but was sure I do not use it. It said no activity. Now I have overdraft fees and overdraft protection used which brought my credit card over the limit. 
They also used both my husband and my overdraft protection for a joint account we have for the same overdraft so we were both charged on our credit card.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I have been sending numerous letters to Transunion for them to remove the accounts and information that resulted due to the theft of my Identity. The last letter I sent to Transunion was XX/XX/2022, with complete attachments of my Personal information, but despite all my efforts, Transunion seemed to ignore my appeals and neglect their duty to comply with the FCRA section 605b. In my Previous letters and complaints, I am requesting that Transunion investigate and verify the accuracy of the items I am disputing by providing me with documents that bear my Signatures. Since then, I have been waiting for them to respond to my letters regarding the investigation and the documents I have been requesting, but after a time of waiting, they sent me nothing. I also reached out to the bank and they agreed to remove the accounts from my file BUT TransUnion has some internal block that they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why. The Credit Bureaus are given ample amount of time to do and finish their investigation but their investigation had done nothing to correct my File. Now, I am submitting this complaint to urge Transunion to remove the disputed items with or without proper investigation since the time allotted for them to conduct their investigation is already over. Once again, I AM REQUESTING THATTRANSUNION REMOVE THE ITEMS COMPLETELY FROM MY CREDIT REPORT : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

This is XXXX XXXX submitting this CFPB Complaint once again to request to the Credit Reporting Agencies to reinvestigate the disputed accounts completely from my Credit File. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Credit Bureaus are required to correct and or remove the disputed accounts that are reporting erroneous information on a consumer 's credit file. I have been submitting multiple dispute letters to the XXXX Credit Bureaus and the last dispute letters I sent was XX/XX/2022, to correct these suspicious information. I think that the Credit Bureaus have not validated these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I will pursue legal action against them in the event the Credit Bureaus do not comply with the Federal regulation.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Experian and XXXX was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I unlocked my credit files at Experian, XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/year> using the on-line feature on the companies ' website. All XXXX companies listed my credit file as " unlocked '' in my accounts. A screen shot of my Experian account information is attached as documentation. 

I applied for a new credit card on XX/XX/year>. It was held up because Experian had not unlocked my file, even though my file was listed as " unlocked '' in my account information on their web site. 

I called Experian on XX/XX/year>, to use the automated customer service option for unlocking my file. There, my credit file was still listed as " locked '' despite the website showing it as " unlocked ''. I unlocked the credit file using the automated service. 

Experian should be forced to fix this feature on their website. I keep my credit file locked, and occasionally unlock it as needed. I should be able to rely on the information shown in my account on their website. This has caused an unnecessary delay in processing my new credit card application.
