Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OR)

I purchased a secondary market gift card at a XXXX % discount from XXXX XXXX XXXX. They charged my Amex card through XXXX for the amount - {$25.00}. XXXX then issued a separate charge of {$10.00} for " cash equivalent - transaction fee '' This amounts to XXXX %, no notice and vague definitions do not even get close to this type of transaction. I have been buying gift cards for years from various vendors and have never encountered or been aware of this a fee. I feel scammed and the fact that there is no notice and the high percentage should not be allowed.

I have asked Pinnacle Credit to validate a collection they are reporting on my credit reports on XXXX/XXXX/15 and they have failed to provide anything that would support the fact that they are attempting to collect interest on a debt without an agreement or contract. Nor have they supplied anything other than a statement on one of the collections. I told them that I would be reporting them to you but they obviously do n't fear you because they failed to delete themselves or answer questions about the debt ( s ) that they are using to damage me financially. Its damaging my credit and it is important to me.

Debt Recovery Solutions , LLC indicated on my credit report that I owed them {$150.00} for a debt that was not mine. I suspect that the debt is my son 's because he has the same name and when I called them I confirmed that fact and asked that they remove the collection from my credit report. I was told they could not so when I asked to speak to a supervisor I was told to hold and after 20 minutes I was told I would receive a call back. That was at XXXX so when I did not receive a call back by XXXX I called back and was told that they returned all calls by XXXX same business day. I had not received a call back by XXXX so I called back again and was laughed at by the gentleman that answered my call who said that it was 10 minutes until closing and they had 48 hours to call me back, The next day I received a call at XXXX from somebody who refused to spell her name who literally bitched me out and threatened to hang up every other sentence and racially harassed me until I hung up on her. This is not my debt and I am suffering from a decreased credit score as a result of this company not doing their due diligence to ensure they are attacking the credit report of the correct person by either checking the SSN or date of birth of the party before they arbitrarily put a black mark on somebodies credit report and I demand somebody from our governing authority do something about this.

The above property was built by XXXX XXXX in XXXX in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sale was transacted in XXXX XXXX then re-sold to a XXXX owner in XXXX XXXX. After 6 years, sink-holes appeared around the property causing the owner to vacate and foreclosure commenced in XXXX XXXX. 
I unknowingly transacted the XXXX sale of said property in XXXX XXXX. The property was appraised and inspected by XXXX XXXX XXXX and there were no sightings of sink-holes. 7 years later in XXXX, I have encountered the sink-holes appearance at the sides and rear of the property. Listing agent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Seller : US Bank, National Association as trustee for XXXX Corp, Seller 's Agent : XXXX XXXX failed to disclose this problem before the property was sold. They were the companies involved in listing and preparing property for resale. 
My neighbor next door, XXXX XXXX, XXXX of the first residents to occupy a home in the sub-division, witnessed the dumping of trash on my property during construction and also saw large openings around the perimeter during the residency of the XXXX owner. 
Whoever prepared the property for re-sale was aware of the openings around the property. The seller and/or listing agent had contracted with a company for dirt/soil to be spread around the property to temporarily hide the recession of soil around the perimeter and the impending disaster to an unsuspecting buyer. I understand that my property was sold as-is, however, the seller had knowledge that the property was built on a trash pit and hid this fact by filling the holes and cover with sod. This pertinent information was withheld from the buyer. The seller of the property should be liable for the repair cost which should have been his/her expense in the first place and as such, the buyer was deceived. 
There is an XXXX horizontal hollowness below the slap, the right rear of the building is presently XXXX '' lower and the left rear is XXXX '' lower from the original dimensions ( re-measured on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). Kitchen tiles are cracked, kitchen counters are off balance and using the back door is hazardous because one may step out into a sink-hole. Being built on inferior soil has caused the rear right corner of the building to be supported by air ; piers were omitted during construction so gravity is in process on the structure. Decomposing waste is buried under my home! It is affecting the structure and contaminating my health! 
What I was sold is equivalent to a house built on quick sand and I would not have knowingly purchased a house built on quick sand neither on a trash pit. I am a retiree living on fixed income and this expense will cause an increase in my debt. 
This is unfair business practice therefore I need to be reimbursed for the cost of repairs to stabilize this property. 
I kindly appreciate your help.
