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: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

On XX/XX/23 I visited a XXXX with my dog for an initial visit. They sold me an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX alleging that it would save me money. No terms were disclosed at point of sale. I was given verbal information only and the sales person answered my clarifying question that it could be canceled at any time without any costs in addition to the monthly fee which would end on cancelation. My dog was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/23 and XXXX repeatedly pushed to do imaging scans. My dog was unable to use any of the listed procedures under the wellness plan while undergoing costly treatment for XXXX. Due to this, I called to cancel since they sold me something he could not make use of. I was told I would have to call an outside number from the actual XXXX location. I called the number and was told they would need to look into it and call me back. They did not call back so I called again to cancel. I waited on hold several times at length and was unable to get through in a reasonable time so had to try again on different days. When I eventually got an agent again, I was finally informed that in order to cancel I would need to pay a hefty $ XXXX {$2000.00} debt I was unaware and uninformed of having incurred. I am still not sure where the amount supposedly came from. XXXX refused to cancel the plan without receiving the amount. 

I and my boyfriend have continued to receive calls and emails from the vet clinic who I have told for months to stop contacting as I will no longer do business with them after seeing their deceptive and fraudulent business practices. This also violates my consumer rights. 

I am concerned the vet may have treated my dog in error and he may never have had XXXX, as he showed no symptoms and acted extremely healthy. He put ten pounds on during treatment. I was informed repeatedly that the treatment was life threatening so we really needed imaging. I spent over {$1000.00} in four months only to hear they will not cancel the plan they sold fraudulently and supposedly I owe them 1-2x more. 

I contacted my card company to protect me from them because they are committing fraud and their response was to send the card company a copy of the terms which were Not disclosed. The card company sent the money to XXXX again to reward them for committing fraud and their unethical business practices which habitually violate consumer laws.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful.

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. This agency is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report.

Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletion of the above referenced account and a free copy of my report after the changes have been made will result in the above actions being taken against your company ; I will also be seeking {$1000.00} per violation for : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violations of 15 U.S.C 1692g

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, section 602a ) requires agencies like XXXX and XXXX to operate fairly, respecting consumers ' privacy. 
I am asserting my right to privacy, as outlined in 15 USC 6801. This law states that financial institutions, like those supplying data to credit agencies, must respect and protect their customers ' private information. I haven't given XXXX, XXXX, or any data provider explicit written permission to share my details, so any previous consent I might have given is now withdrawn. 

Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) specifies that financial institutions can not share personal data with third parties without informing the consumer how they can prevent such sharing. I wasn't given this information. Also, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) restricts agencies from reporting certain negative details that are more than XXXX years old. This hasn't been followed in my case. 

Furthermore, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) from 1974 protects students ' education records. As outlined in 20 USC 1232g ( b ), it applies to all educational institutions, from elementary to post-secondary, whether public or private.

Lastly, 15 U.S. Code sections 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A and 1681e require that institutions don't share incorrect consumer data and that agencies like XXXX and XXXX have measures to avoid breaches. I believe these measures aren't being followed. According to 12 CFR 1016.7, I can opt out of reporting services at any time, and I'm choosing to do so now.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaints regarding XXXX XXXX inaccurate reporting were submitted to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX ( # XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX ( # XXXX ). XXXX XXXX has provided a response ; however, the response is insufficient. The response from XXXX XXXX does not provide an explanation for the concerns raised in the complaint ; specifically, an explanation as to how late payments incurred in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX after the account was closed and had a {$0.00} balance in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Accordingly, I continue to dispute the inaccurate reporting of two late payments being reported by XXXX XXXX. I am again requesting an explanation as to how an account that was closed, with a {$0.00} balance for several months could owe a minimum payment on the account, several months after the account was closed. If XXXX XXXX is unable to sufficiently explain this issue and address this concern with factual information and adequate supporting documentation, then the inaccurate, derogatory information must be removed in accordance with Federal guidelines. 

In a letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX  indicated the following, In regard to the delinquencies that have been reported on your account, our records show the following billing and payment activity : On XX/XX/XXXX, the account billed with a minimum payment of {$20.00} due by XX/XX/XXXX However, what XXXX XXXX fails to acknowledge is that the minimum payment due by XX/XX/XXXX is where the inaccuracy begins. 

XXXX XXXX also fails to acknowledge that, per their own records, the balance on the account as of XX/XX/XXXX was - {$75.00}. As a result of adjustments, albeit inaccurate, as of XX/XX/XXXX the account balance was {$0.00}. At that point, the account was already closed ; therefore, after the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX and the balance on the account was showing {$0.00} in XX/XX/XXXX, no additional charges could have been made by the cardholder. Therefore, there should have been {$0.00} minimum payment due by XX/XX/XXXX. There was no balance on the account to owe a minimum payment on. 

XXXX XXXX failed to provide any statements between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to support their assertion that the account had an outstanding balance which would have required a minimum payment due in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Therefore, XXXX XXXX reporting of late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX are inaccurate. The continued reporting of inaccurate, derogatory information is a blatant violation of Section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
