Consumer complaint received 12/22/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: I tried opening a bank Account back on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with XXXX XXXX. However, when they pulled my consumer report, it showed up that I have had 2 prior bank accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank of America within a month or so of one another which these accounts were BOTH OPENED ONLINE FRAUDULENTLY!! 

I contacted both banks, personally, once receiving a letter in the mail regarding a check in the amount of {$6000.00} plus dollars, was attempted to be deposited into the account via the web or app picture submittal on the newly opened bank account. This check came back as a Fradulent check & was returned! 
I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA UNTIL RECEIVING A NOTICE BY MAIL OF THE ACCOUNT EVEN BEING OPENED!! 
Not even a month or 2 later, they opened another account online with Bank of America. Exact SAME WAY, online. Attempted to deposit EXACTLY THE SAME CHECK VIA THE APP ONCE AGAIN. JUST THREW A NEW BANK ACCOUNT THRY OPENED ONLINE WITH A NEW FINANCIAL INSTITUTE!!

Once again I received a notice by mail of the RETURNED FRADULENT CHECK which was written off a bank account from Over seas!! 

Anyways, I immediately went to each bank, and closed each account, IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING THESE MAILED COMMUNICATIONS IN BOTH INSTANCES!! 

In both instances, the financial institutions NEVER GAVE ANY MONIES TO THE ACCOUNTS OPENED. IN BOTH CASES. THEREFORE THERE WAS NEVER ANY MONETARY VALUE FOR EITHER INSTANCE. 

SO ONCE VERIFYING MY IDENTITY AND THE FRAUDULENT OBTAINED ACCOUNTS AND EACH INSTITUTION COMPLETED THEIR OWN FRAUDULENT INVESTIGATION. I WAS CLEARED OF ALL WRONG DOINGS IN BOTH CASES. AND TOLD I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!! 

Now, THESE EXACT TWO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED ACCOUNTS OPENED IN MY NAME ILLEGALLY ALL THIS TIME AGO. IS CURRENTLY PREVENTING ME FROM OPENING UP ANOTHER PERSONAL BANKING ACCOUNT WITH MY ACTUAL SATISFACTORY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AT XXXX XXXX!! 

I have faxed and completed EVERYTHING I WAS ASKED TO COMPLETE, via by phone with you all, XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as Bank of America. 

However it is now going on MONTH FOUR AND I HAVE STILL RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLUTION REGARDING THIS INACCURACIES WITHIN MY ACTUAL CONSUMER CREDIT REPORT FROM YOU ALL. 

PLEASE CORRECT THIS INACCURACY IMMEDIATELY. AS I AM FIXING TO PURCHASE MY SECOND HOME AND CAN NOT DO SO UNTIL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED FINALLY!!! 
ALSO I CAN NOT EVEN OPEN ANOTHER BANK ACCOUNT WITHIN MY BANK UNTIL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED AS PROMISED FOUR MONTHS AGO NOW!!

I WAS PROMISED RESOLUTION IN A MAXIMUM OF 15-30 DAYS!

YET ITS BEEN FOUR MONTHS TO DATE, AND STILL NO RESOLUTION OR CORRECTION OF MY CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AND CURRENT STANDINGS WITH MY CONSUMER REPORT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DATE AND CURRENT SHOWING I HAVE A GREAT CREDIT STANDING AND ALWAYS HAVE!!! 

Please correct this immediately.
