Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Bounced checks or returned payments
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Difficulty in confirming supporting documentation for my BANK OF AMERICA IRP request for additional compensation, totaling a little over {$300.00} due to Bank of America EDD freezing my account and not having access to my funds have resulted in me being an evicted from my home, owe on credit cards, and other bills and till this day I am now homeless because of that fraudulent act they have caused me and my family. which I have already uploaded and provided documents. Lack of clear communication about the third request that was made for precise additional documentation. Unsatisfactory administration service agents It is unfair for FTI Consulting to not provide a resolution- Mail Me another check Please so I can have direct access to the funds I was promised. They have made requests for additional documentation. This 3rd request for additional documentation does not make any sense, and is very precise, asking me to provide the same proof the review team can determine if I have been financially harmed, for my additional compensation request. And the Inability to get questions answered directly from the FTI Consulting review team about precise documentation for my case. Bank of America IRP, has failed to address the financial harm documentation that I experienced due to not having access to my funds.

Unfortunately, my attempts to claim further compensation have been frustratingly unsuccessful. And I suffer with mental health issues so it's hard to do a lot of things on my own without the help of others I was actually feeling discriminated upon during my calls with IRP I firmly believe that I am entitled to at least {$900.00} to cover my fines, and fees I've endured. Bank of America 's current offer does not adequately compensate for these difficulties. I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this matter.

I understand that there may be different perspectives on this matter, but I hope we can work together to ensure a fair outcome. Would you be willing to discuss the next steps to move this forward? This was all in XXXX that my account was froze and I barely received a {$300.00} check in XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has reported unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report that were not initiated or authorized by me. This constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ), which prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions, such as prior written consent or a firm offer of credit, are met. I did not provide any written authorization for these inquiries, and their presence on my credit report is therefore unlawful. Additionally, the agency has failed to provide documentation or evidence of a permissible purpose for these inquiries.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a {$3500.00} mortgage payment electronically to Lakeview Loan Servicing. Lakeview later confirmed that the payment was forwarded to XXXX Mortgage XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, referencing XXXX Reference ID # XXXX. However, XXXX has stated they never received the payment and requested a copy of the front and back of the payment instrument. Since the payment was sent electronically, I do not have a physical copy to provide. 
XXXX, the payment processor, confirmed via email that the payment was received and forwarded to XXXX. They advised that XXXX should be able to locate the payment using the reference ID and their LIFT/REPAY system. Despite this, XXXX has been unable to locate the payment and continues to insist they never received it. 
I have spent months trying to resolve this issue, contacting all parties involved. As of today, the payment remains unaccounted for, and I am being asked to provide documentation that does not exist due to the nature of the transaction. This unresolved issue is causing unnecessary stress and confusion.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I disputed an account that Experian is reporting under XXXX XXXX XXXX, reference number XXXX. The tradeline shows a balance of {$140.00}. 

Prior to this dispute, I had contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX directly. In writing, XXXX XXXX explicitly confirmed that this account was not being reported to any credit bureau. I have retained copies of their emails as proof. 

Despite this, when I filed my dispute with Experian, the result returned on XX/XX/year> was that the account was verified and remains on my credit report unchanged. This is impossible. If XXXX XXXX stated they were not reporting the account, Experian could not have reasonably verified it as accurate. 

This demonstrates Experians failure to conduct a reasonable investigation, which is required under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Simply parroting back verified without reviewing or reconciling contradictory evidence is not an investigation, it is a violation of the law.

Furthermore, by continuing to report this account as accurate despite clear proof from the furnisher that it was not being reported, Experian is in violation of FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy.

This violates the requirement to report with maximum possible accuracy under the FCRA
