I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding ongoing issues I have been experiencing with XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. Despite my repeated efforts to dispute late payments and incorrect information on my credit reports, I have encountered significant challenges in rectifying these errors. 
I believe that I have been subject to unfair treatment by these credit reporting agencies, as my attempts to correct inaccuracies on my credit reports have not yielded the desired results. I have diligently followed the procedures outlined by the credit bureaus, including submitting dispute letters and providing supporting documentation. However, my disputes have often been met with delayed responses or dismissive actions, resulting in continued inaccuracies on my credit reports. 
The inaccurate information on my credit reports has had a detrimental impact on my financial well-being, affecting my ability to secure loans, obtain favorable interest rates, and even secure employment. Despite my efforts to maintain responsible financial practices, these errors have unfairly tarnished my creditworthiness. 
I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate my case and intervene on my behalf to ensure that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax rectify the inaccuracies on my credit reports promptly and in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I understand that your organization is committed to ensuring fair treatment for consumers like me, and I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address this matter. Please inform me of any additional information or documentation you may require to assist in resolving this issue. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your commitment to upholding consumer rights. I look forward to a timely resolution and the restoration of accurate information on my credit reports. 
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing
Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC (FL)

XX/XX/XXXX - When I got my used car from the dealership, I believe I was misled about the vehicle 's terms. 

When I turned in my XXXX XXXX, I was told one thing and given another. I was unaware that they were marking up the price of the car I was purchasing to devalue my trade-in value. My XXXX was valued at trade in at {$18000.00}. During the purchase the salesman never expressed the rate nor length of the note. I was only understanding what my monthly payment would be never explained how that payment was derived. I feel the tactics used by NEVER being made aware of the amount being financed and the total amount of the purchase price was predatory - the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the average sales price for the exact make and model I bought at the same time ranged from $ XXXX XXXX dollars. After reviewing my loan documents, I was appalled to find that the price of the vehicle I purchased was marked up to {$50000.00} after applying the trade-in and positive equity for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$11000.00} after payoffs. I still ended up XXXX {$33000.00}. As of today I still owe {$26000.00}, putting my auto loan underwater and stuck with negative equity for years to come. 

In addition, when I bought the car, they said that the XXXX XXXX XXXX was included and that I just had to get it from the store. After calling the dealership XXXX and talking to multiple people, they finally told me that the XXXX XXXX  did not have this feature - after it was too late to return the car. As a minority woman, I feel like I was taken advantage of by being told a reasonable payment of 6 years added above the interest market rate when rates were near 0 % at purchase. I realize now that the purchase price was marked up on average {$15000.00} to {$20000.00} over the fair market price. When I went to discuss this with XXXX, I was dismissed and thought that there was nothing I could do until a financial advisor told me about this resource.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

I was called by Bank of America on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that there were fraudulent transactions from my XXXX account and to fix this i needed to enter a code into XXXX and send to an address " XXXX '' with a code that was sent to me. They also sent me many text codes from the Bank of America site via text to prove they were the bank. I sent XXXX codes to this address in XXXX for XXXX and XXXX. I had lost my wallet the day before so thought this was Bank of America calling me with a fraud alert. After I completed this, the person instructed me to open a new XXXX account at XXXX XXXX to ensure my accounts were safe. I did this but we did not complete any further activity. They said they will call me back tomorrow at XXXX.

When I told my daughter about this after the call she immediately told me this is a scam and I called Bank of America and confirmed this was a scam and money was removed from my account. I reported the fraud/scam to Bank of America .

Regrettably, the bureau 's responses have consistently claimed that the information has been verified as accurate, without providing any proof of who and how they verified the information or the representative 's response in writing, as I have repeatedly requested in the past XXXX letters. I've waited XXXX months since the date of my last request ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for a reinvestigation response and written notice and no reply was given in writing. 

The bureau is reporting the following inaccurate, unfair, unduly, incomplete, obsolete, and erroneous information on my credit report and MUST be DELETED due to repeated inconsistent and inaccurate information being reported. # 1 : Inaccurate Balance and Terms Reflected ; # 2 : Multiple monthly " Charge Offs '' CAN NOT be reported for a single Charged Off account. 

The bureau is in violation of 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681-s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; ( 2 ) failed to promptly update and correct information furnished to CRAs and determined was not complete or accurate in violation of 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 2 ), 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, and15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 5 ) ; and the bureau failed to establish and implement reasonable written policies and procedures regarding the accuracy and integrity of the information provided to CRAs in violation of Regulation V, 12 C.F.R. 1022.42 ( a ). These violations of the FCRA and Regulation V also constitute independent violations of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Under 1053 and 1055 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5563, 5565. 

I've reiterated my rights as a consumer under the FCRA : 1. The right to have accurate and up-to-date information reported by your agency. 
2. The right to removal of disputed inaccuracies and errors on my credit report.

3. The right to a thorough and fair investigation of my disputes.

4. The right to add a statement to my credit file, which I have requested repeatedly. 

I have requested, in writing, further details of the reinvestigation on several different occasions from them, with no proper response, if any, acknowledging or providing the requested information in writing from them.

I expressed to them that I am a veteran who believes in their honor & I have maintained great credibility & credit scores now this fraudulent activity that occurred is ruining my not only my reputation but my credit & my family life. I have proof from another company that fraudulent account was opened & they reviewed information & closed the account.

This is really starting to get frustrating & Im dealing with health issues & mental health issues because of this.
