Complaint narrative:
I applied for a credit card at BOA and was denied an unsecured card. So once the denial letter came in the mail I applied for a {$300.00} secured card in the mail. However, my biological mother and grandmother had an checking account opened at BOA in my name that I was unaware of in XXXX. I was then sent a letter with a pin number selected for me and that the card would come in a separate letter. The card never came in the mail. I also never received the card ending in XXXX. I reported card lost or stolen. Then I was sent a new card with a new account number ending in XXXX. This card was then detected for possible fraud after an XXXX XXXX XXXX installations with XXXX when my step father XXXX   box got installed in my apartment and registered to my name and new cable account since I had used that credit card to open the account on XX/XX/XXXX. This uverse account was immediately compromised and multiple people had added themselves to this cable account that was used to get access to different bank accounts. After I closed cable service in XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX those cable boxes in my name somehow went into circulation and these individuals keep access my bank accounts this way to transfer money. BOA then told me because they detected fraud on my card in XXXX they closed the account and opened a new account ending in XXXX and mailed me a new card. I later received second hand information that the first two accounts mentioned where still active and different individuals were using XXXX to make purchases to embezzle money out of the accounts that I though were closed to get access to a trust that I was unaware of that I had. I closed the account ending in XXXX once I paid off balance. The last statement I received was in XX/XX/XXXX. I had also used this card as a bill and proof of residence when I applied for XXXX XXXX Assistance to cover a doctor visit at the hospital. However, I order to apply for this assistance it states that you give XXXX permission to hold any settlement money due to you to cover your doctor bills if you should be expecting a money in the near future. This card was then fraudulently kept on file to get access to bank account and multiple medical professionals created fraudulent records and documents to bill out for medical treatment I was never there for nor had I consented to the treatments. The XXXX FBI noticed this fraud in the account and billing at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Again all of these above accounts should be closed. These accounts are tied to an XXXX report with ATT # XXXX and FCC # XXXX. It also affected my bank account at XXXX. XXXX CFPB # XXXX for XXXX. The other telecommunication companies that I have been affected with these accounts are also listed below for reference : FCC XXXX Squad # XXXX XXXX Geek Squad # XXXX FCC XXXX XXXX # XXXX FCC XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX FCC XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX FCC Metro PCS # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX
