Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PA)

On Sunday XX/XX/XXXX I accessed my XXXX credit card and noticed my credit score had substantially decreased. I accessed my XXXX credit report through XXXX. In addition to the current credit accounts I own, an additional credit line was listed through Bank of America. Per the report the account was opened on XX/XX/2017, its current balance is {$6600.00} with a credit limit of {$6000.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX regarding the issue. They requested I contact Bank of America and initiate a fraud complaint. I called Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX. They were unable to identify the account based on my name, social security number or the account details listed above. They initiated an investigation that I was told would take 7-10 business days, with final outcome being reported to the credit bureaus and taking up to 90 days to process. I relayed this information to XXXX who advised I report this issue to the FTC ( which led to this page ) and my local police. They also informed me that I can complete a dispute through XXXX which would be an independent process from the Bank of America investigation, and take up to 45 days.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal to comply with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they fail to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EQUIFAX multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Equifaxs responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than XXXX years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE.
