I reviewed my consumer reports and noticed that I had XXXX to XXXX late payments on accounts that I was never late for. The consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I have never been late on payments for these accounts, so I have included screenshots inside this complaint. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can't be provided, I am demanding these payments be updated to paid as agreed on time, as well as updated in the monthly account history, because I was never late.

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 (NY)

On XX/XX/23, I received a package from XXXX 's that was delivered to my apartment building and left by the mailbox. The courier sent me an alert with a photo via email of the package in my building. When I returned home from work that day, which was approximately 2 hours after delivery, the package was nowhere to be found. I filed a claim with XXXX 's regarding the package being most likely stolen, and so they issued me a refund for the amount plus the shipping I paid. However, I was then informed that they couldn't actually issue me a refund when I called back to tell them the refund had not appeared on my card. The full refund would have amount to {$330.00}. 

I was informed by a representative that the person who clearly stole my package had brought it back to the store it was ordered from, and had exchanged it for XXXX perfume. So since XXXX 's " technically '' issued " me '' a refund or exchange, they claimed they could not issue ME the actual refund which is why I needed to take it up with my credit card. 

I received correspondence from my credit card with Bank of America which was used for the purchase saying that they issued me the credit while an investigation was done with XXXX XXXX. 

Around XX/XX/23, I received another letter from BoA saying that the claim was denied in the end and that the credit would be reversed back into a charge on my card. The reasoning behind the denial of the claim was " that the merchandise was available and delivered to the agreed upon location. '' BoA told me they are not responsible for the charge and that XXXX XXXX is also not willing to issue me the refund. 

However, I feel I should not be responsible for paying this amount due to the fact that I never actually got the package, and the fact that XXXX 's actually got the merchandise back.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit was ran without my permission. I had been lied to and deceived by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who had already previously ran my credit on XX/XX/XXXX. There was no need or permission given to XXXX to run my credit check a second time. As a result of XXXX 's violated action against me, my account received multiple hard credit inquiries from various auto lenders, which stay on your credit for 2 years, not to mention a reduction in credit score. I have attempted to contact XXXX, lenders, and credit bureaus, but I have only gotten the runarounds between these entities, with no resolution in sight. I was even told to file a police report from one credit bureau against these lenders if they were not willing to cooperate with me and help me remove unauthorized inquiries from my credit. I have not filed a report and hope that my complaint here will be resolved successfully, without any need to file a police report against these lenders- especially since XXXX was the one in charge and at fault in allowing this to happen. What's so  disheartening is that after I was lied to by a XXXX rep and he ran my credit against my knowledge and permission, I was told by his boss that he would help me resolve the duplicate and erroneous hard inquiries made into my credit report ; but he flat out lied as well, and that left me with little to no option unfortunately.
