Complaint narrative:
Subject : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Eqifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX for Violating Consumer Rights To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against XXXX XXXX XXXX  for blatant violations of my consumer rights. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter directly with the bank, I have received no responses or assistance, leaving me no choice but to escalate this issue to the appropriate regulatory authority. 

As a federally protected consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am invoking my rights outlined in 15 USC 6802. This statute grants me the authority to opt out of any and all authorizations, whether written, verbal, or non-verbal, that I may have previously granted to the bank. This opt-out is effective immediately, and I expect full compliance from XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX 

Furthermore, I urge you to consider the provisions of 15 USC 6802 and 15 USC 6805, which clearly outline the responsibilities of financial institutions regarding consumer privacy and data protection. XXXX XXXX XXXX  's disregard for these crucial statutes has resulted in a breach of trust and a violation of my privacy rights as a consumer. 

Additionally, I want to emphasize that as a consumer, I am entitled to the protection afforded by all laws stated in the Privacy Act of XXXX. This legislation safeguards individuals like myself from unwarranted invasions of privacy and ensures that financial institutions handle personal information responsibly and ethically. 

I expect the CFPB to thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX XXXX  for their failure to uphold my consumer rights. Furthermore, I request that you provide me with updates on the progress of this investigation and any steps taken to rectify the situation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and the restoration of my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I scheduled payments to my Bank of America credit card and when the bank tried to pull, they said there were insufficient funds. Yesterday on XX/XX/24, they took {$800.00} from my new account that I use for my inventory and paid it to the credit card account, which was not due until XXXX. They did not take the past due balance, they took past due and current 3 weeks before it was due. When I called yesterday, they told me they would refund me and then today, they told me they won't, due to right of offset. From my research, offset payments are only valid on auto or mortgage loans, not credit cards. I need that {$800.00} back immediately.
