Complaint narrative:
There are inquires on my credit report that I did not authorize. I verbally gave my credit score to the dealership representative, explicitly stating that I did not want their company to do any credit check but inform me, based on my score given VERBALLY, if there is any chance that I may qualify due to the fact I was only weighing out my available options towards purchasing a vehicle if so decided. Also, there was no signature involved granting permission to access my credit report to any car loan lender. I wrote a letter to each credit bureau indicating this issue and nothing has been done as yet. Below are the attached documents sent to each individual bureaus indicating the specific hard inquires on my account.

( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I bank with Bank of America and apparently the other bank involved is XXXX XXXX. There was an unauthorized XXXX transaction of {$500.00} pulled from my account to a person I do not know. I called the fraud department and told them what happened, and they offered a promising message that I would be able to get my money back. Days later I received a message on my account saying that the claim was denied because it was on a device used in the past. I was unaware and did not authorize the transaction. The legal definition of fraud is " the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right. '' The bank should have no authority to redefine the legal definition to avoid honoring their commitment to the consumer. I took it upon myself to reach out to the individual on XXXX whose information was detailed in the XXXX transaction, and they said that they were hacked and they got their bank to freeze their account ( Screenshots attached | I should not depend on someone else 's bank to fix this if I am the victim ). The paper trail should clearly show that I was frauded from a compromised and fraudulent account. I don't feel like Bank of America is really listening to me or trying to understand what happened and instead pushing aside my complaint that clearly shows I was frauded. On XXXX 's website it states that : " If someone gained access to your bank account and made a payment with XXXX without your permission, and you werent involved in any way with the transaction, this is typically considered fraud since it was unauthorized activity. If someone gained access to your account, and stole money or sent it without your permission, this could be defined as fraud. Immediately report suspected unauthorized activity to your financial institution. Because you did NOT authorize a payment, you are typically able to get your money back after reporting the incident.
