Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Claim Numbers:XXXX Claim Number : XXXX Claim Number : XXXX Claim Number XXXX These claims were unfortunately all connected. There was an online banking scam with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX that added me fraudulently to their bank account ending in XXXX. This took place on XX/XX/2022. I was a platinum honors client. The two people involved committed online identity theft and linked 3 of my online banking accounts to their fraud account and placed my name on it. As a result they were able to remove funds from my savings, personal checking and business account to their account through online banking. They were able to withdraw large sums of money. When I alerted BOA I immediately went to the branch to withdraw my money due to the lack of security. I was able to transfer my funds to XXXX XXXX. Now BOA states that I have a negative balance in all four accounts due to the money that XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX withdrew illegally. 

This is my second fraud case with bank of america in 2022 - I have attached information for all claims

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account was closed without warning by Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX. I found out via a negative credit alert, and was not informed via any correspondence of a pending account closure. I immediately called them and informed them of the context : I had requested a new card online several times with reason lost over the last two years, I recall once in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XXXX XXXX, but for unclear reasons I never was mailed a new one. I futher informed them that this was my oldest account and by closing it they are disproportionately impacted my credit negatively. 

Their process to address my request to reopen my account due to their error of not sending me a replacement card was not handled appropriately as a bank error, and the further never informed me of an upcoming account closure or actual account closure via correspondence. 
I learned of this when received a negative credit score impact alert from a credit monitoring service.

My request is Capital One to reopen my closed account without delay and to mail me my new card.

Complaint narrative:
I have sent letters to Trans Union on multiple occassions about 2 items on my report that are not right. I requested they investigate, send me a detailed description of how they verified it ( I want names, dates, and titles of people they talked to at these companies for my lawsuit ) and Trans Union sent me half XXXX responses saying it was verified. THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR. At this point I'm dealing with the companies legally and considering adding Trans Union to the party for continuing to ruin my reputation by reporting these accounts. Both of the companies were sent a cease and desist back in XXXX and have failed to give me what I asked for which is why I filed suit. I didn't forget about Trans Union though because looking at my reports I see they're still in cohoots with these crooks also

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Previous balance on a XX/XX/XXXX statement was {$3700.00}. I made XXXX payments. XXXX for {$1000.00} ( XX/XX/23 ) and the XXXX for {$400.00} ( XX/XX/23 ) before the billing cycle ended. The interest charged was {$46.00} for a XXXX day bill period. On the XXXX page of the bill it states how the interest was charged. They calculated the interest at {$3200.00}. This makes XXXX sense in that my payments before the end of the billing cycle was {$1400.00}. If I subtract my previous balance with when they calculated my interest for the billing cycle it only comes out to {$480.00}. This can not be right given how much I paid on the card during the billing cycle. I called the company ( obviously a call center in XXXX ). The girl on the other line had XXXX idea what to do or say and was mostly just reading off what sounded to be a script.
