Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On Tuesday XX/XX/22 I received a text message from what had appeared to be from my Bank that a fraudulent charge was made but declined at XXXX in the amount of {$970.00}. I quickly panicked and replied No to the text message. After that my phone rang and the person on the other line said they were from Bank of America and they were able to catch this fraudulent charge before it hit my account. However they said that a pending XXXX Transfer was scheduled to leave my bank account at XXXX XXXX and they wanted to try and reverse it. At this point I had completely questioned everything but they reassured me with confidence that they would get it straightened out. I sent a XXXX transfer in the amount of {$3400.00} to myself but it went to the scammers. I was a complete victim of a Scam that I was not aware about and didnt even realize that it was a scam until I called my Bank the following day. I filed a fraud claim with Bank of America and it is still in process. From what I have read people have had a hard time getting their money refunded back to them who have been struck by this horrific scam. I am a hardworking individual and Bank of America customer for over 16 years who certainly did not deserve to have this happen to them.

Complaint narrative:
On Wednesday, XX/XX/2022, I discovered that my Bank ( BMO Harris ) had cashed a check against my account in the amount of {$5100.00} on XX/XX/2022 which was payable to XXXX XXXX. I had written the said check ( # XXXX ) on XX/XX/2022 for the amount of {$20.00} payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. In looking at the copy of the cancelled check it was obvious to see that all the details had been altered, date, payee, amount, and my signature. I was told that I needed to file a police report ( because of the amount of the fraud ) and that the bank could not begin an investigation until they had the report. I filed the report and the bank received a copy of that report on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that an investigation would take between 30-45 working days and that " day one '' began when I reported the fraud which was XX/XX/XXXX ) Further communication with the bank manager has been poor. I feel there has been limited communication and I only learn things when I call them. When I talked to the branch manager on XX/XX/XXXX, that I anticipated my money being returned on XX/XX/XXXX ( 45 working days from initial complaint ) ; I was told the following, " she misspoke about the 45 days and that the fraud department would now need 60 to 180 days to determine the outcome of my fraud investigation. '' I expressed my displeasure at hearing this news and asked why the bank continued to move the goalpost on returning my money. I was told that it had to do with the amount of the fraud. I called the main BMO bank in XXXX and repeated the details of my story to their customer service department. I was told that my conversation would be shared and listened to and that my situation would be rectified. Needless to say nothing has been done. I am still waiting for the money ( {$5100.00} ) to be returned to my account. I am tired of waiting and I hope by filing this report that something can be done to return my funds to my account immediately.

Complaint narrative:
YOU BROKE THE LAW Equifax Pursuant to

15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 1 ). The banking system is dependent upon being fair and accurate. After taking a look at my consumer report, I realized that my report was inaccurate, and this inaccurate report is unfair to me because I was never notified when this inaccurate information was furnished, and I was never notified during your companys initial investigation that you were going to report this information pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 1 ). This grave error has undermined my confidence in your companys procedure, and as a result of this I will no longer be extending credit, and if this information is not removed, I no longer want my information reported in your companys database. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 2 ) Your company is a powerless elaborate mechanism. This mishap that your company has caused has ruined my reputation, and it has adversely affected my credit worthiness. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 3 ) Your company assumed this role. You were not given expressed permission by me, the consumer, or a competent court of jurisdiction. So, not only did you fail in the initial investigation of this information, but you also assumed this role and assumed this information was valid, which is a violation of my consumer rights. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 4 ) You did not insure that this information is accurate and you did not exercise your grave responsibility with fairness and impartiality. You took one side of the story and never consulted with me to find out if this transaction even took place. As a result of this my privacy was breached and this violated my rights to privacy. ( See attached documents ). Pursuant to 15USC 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) Congress makes it clear that a consumer report should NOT include transactions between the consumer and the person making the report. This alleged transaction that you are reporting and failed to investigate, whether or not it factually took place, can be categorized as a transaction that took place between the consumer and the person making the report. Which means it should not be included in my consumer report, and in fact is a violation of my consumer rights Pursuant to 15USC 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( iii ) In your initial investigation I was never given the opportunity to deny this information being communicated on my consumer report. This is in fact a violation. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( B ) Any authorization of a specific extension of credit of a credit card or similar device should be excluded from my consumer report. This alleged transaction that your company clearly did not investigate is categorized as a transaction that was issued from a credit card. Credit card as defined under 15USC 1602 ( i ) ( See attac
hed documents ).
