Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I called Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX AM Arizona XXXX. I asked if a goodwill adjustment could be made to remove my missed payments from being reported to the credit bureaus. The representative agreed. I asked if he was able to remove all of the missed payments ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ) and he confirmed that he was removing all of them. 

Shortly after, I began searching for a home as a first time home buyer since I was expecting these late payments to soon be removed. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I saw that the credit bureaus had received updated information from Bank of America, however, the missed payments had not been removed. 

I have since made numerous calls to Bank of America trying to get an update on the process as well as get some documentation that this is happening I haven't gotten either. Knowing that it's not the phone reps fault, I've aimed to be as kind and understanding as possible. However, phone representatives have been unhelpful at best, and XXXX have even blatantly hung up on me. I have been told to keep waiting and that there is nothing that they can do. It seems that the notes that have been left on my account are nondescript or insufficient for representatives to understand what is happening with my account. 

To make matters worse, these missed payments were partly due to the fact that Bank of America hasn't allowed me to set up auto-pay for my account. I have tried numerous times to set up auto-pay dating back to the end of XXXX. When accessing my account through both the website and app, it says that I have to call to set up auto-pay. When I call, I am either met with confusion, or given an attempted solution that does not work. I have had XXXX representative try to reset my account and another try to set up auto-pay by taking my checking account information through the phone. Both times, the attempted solutions failed. To this day, I am still unable to use auto-pay. 

I am now under contract to buy a home and the financing is at risk of falling through because Bank of America has not made this update or provided me any documentation of this update.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Experian regarding my inability to access my free credit report and online credit monitoring services. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am entitled to a free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting agencies, including Experian. However, despite multiple attempts to access my report through your website and the monitoring services, I have been unable to do so. 

Since XX/XX/year>, I have tried multiple times to log into my account to view my score but received error messages stating " Sorry, we can't show you today 's report. This might mean that your lenders have different personal info for you than we do. Until this issue is resolved, you won't be able to see your report. '' I have not been able to regain access to the credit report or monitoring services. This is causing my Experian score to show XXXX points lower than my other scores. 

I have attempted to resolve this issue by contacting Experian customer service. Despite my efforts, I have not received a satisfactory resolution, nor have I been provided with a clear explanation as to why I can not access my services. 

I am seeking immediate access to my free credit report and online credit monitoring services as entitled under the law. Additionally, I would like a thorough explanation of why I was unable to access these services, as well as assurance that this issue will not persist in the future. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope to receive a prompt resolution.
