Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT)

Spoke to both XXXX and Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX. Indicated that this was not a valid hard inquiry because I did not request the account. I have since frozen all credit accounts, but since there is a hard inquiry that I did not authorize, the freeze will not apply to Bank of America as an " existing relationship ''. 

I requested that the inquiry be marked as attempted fraud, removed from my credit report and that all relationship between Bank of America be deleted so that it could not re-access my report without permission. The rep indicated that this would be complete within 5 business days. This has still not been completed, which puts me at continued risk of fraud, even with the frozen account. 

XXXX also indicated that they would document the issue and await further instruction from Bank of America, but neither has done their job and the issue appears to be left on my report.

Company: American Coradius International LLC (MD)

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am filing this complaint against AMERICAN CORADIUS INTERNATIONAL LLC for furnishing false and misleading information to my consumer report as a means to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. This account is listed as a Charge off on my consumer report as shown in attached exhibit A. This is false and misleading. 

I am aware the definition of a Charge Off, pursuant to 7 CFR 1956.54, is The writing off of a debt and termination of collection activity without release of personal liability.

Im also aware that once a debt is cancelled, it now becomes gross income.

Pursuant 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 11 ), Gross income includes income from discharge of indebtedness. 

Was a 1099-C filed on this account? If so, I never received one.

I am aware that a 1099-C must be mailed to consumers by XX/XX/XXXX the following calendar year in which the identifiable event occurs. If your company has mailed me a 1099-C, please provide documentary evidence, such as a tracking number, that proves I in fact received and was aware of a 1099-C. 

Knowingly furnishing this false and misleading charge off to my consumer report is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2.

If AMERICAN CORADIUS INTERNATIONAL LLC has filled out a 1099c form and is continuing any kind of collection activity as defined under 31 U.S. Code 3711 ( e ) by performing any of the following conduct ; administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to private collection contractors, referral to agencies operating a debt collection center, reporting delinquencies to the credit reporting agencies, garnishing wages, pursuing litigation or foreclosure, you are committing tax fraud and should be reported to the IRS for a fraudulent financial gain. 

I am aware and I am invoking my right as the consumer to demand the money audit trial in accordance with 12 U.S. Code 5562 ( c ) ( 10 ). I would need this product of document material as documentary evidence in order to properly address this subject matter and without this documentary evidence there can be no validation of such debt. 

Furthermore, in order to validate the debt, please provide verification through audit certification of debt entry in accordance with GAAP, IRS, in accordance with Basel 3, and UNCITRAL conversions. 

If any of the above can not be provided, this account must be removed from my consumer report immediately to prevent further harm to me and my financial reputation.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MI)

On Monday XX/XX/2022, my XXXX personal and XXXX business accounts with Citizens Bank were abruptly closed and I was unable to access my funds. 
I made this discovery because I was unable to access my personal accounts with Citizens, whether through a Browser or their App. I called and was put on hold for over an hour, after which I hung up. The next day, XX/XX/2022, I went into the local branch. Initially, I was assisted by a Teller, who determined the problem needed to be escalated because she was unable to access my account information. At that time, I decided to check my business account via the App. I determined that all of my business funds, {$220000.00} had been withdrawn the day before. Needless to say, I began to panic. 
Thereafter, I spoke with the manager, XXXX XXXX XXXX. My initial thought in speaking with her was that I was a victim of fraud. She made some internal calls while I sat with her. She conveyed to me that Citizens had terminated my business accounts an sent the funds via mail to the addresses on file. I was told they had sent a letter, via snail mail, to tell me that my business accounts were being terminated. I never received a call, a text message or an email concerning my $ 200K+ account. 
I was told my personal accounts, which collectively contained almost $ 60K, were put on hold for the purpose of ensuring all transactions would be completed. I thought that to mean that my mortgage, due on XX/XX/2022 would be paid. That was not the case. They put holds on my account on XX/XX/2022, not allowing any other transactions to take place. I had to scramble to make sure all of the autopays I had setup with my account were properly addressed and transferred to a new account. As for the personal accounts, I received NO CORRESPONDENCE whatsoever! 
I went into the bank today, XX/XX/2022 to speak with someone directly. I asked that she make some calls to determine why my personal funds were being held. I was told my funds would be released via check on XX/XX/2022, by which time my mortgage and other payments would be delinquent. The manager with whom I spoke made an internal complaint on my behalf. The complaint number is : # XXXX. Prior to writing this letter I called the Citizens complaint department. It was answered in about XXXX mins. I was then put on hold for over an hour, listening to music. The call was terminated by Citizens without anyone ever coming to the line.

CFPB, Please help me work with the credit bureaus to make sure these accounts that do not belong to me get removed from my reports. I just want my report to be 100 % mine and 100 % accurate. I want my voice to be heard and I want the credit bureaus to do a proper investigation and review every detail of all these accounts as well as my ftc report and police report and remove these unauthorized accounts. Like I said, I believe I'm a victim of identity theft so they should be removed within 4 days of receiving this anyways because I just filed the ftc report and police report.
