Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX and XX/XX/year>, unauthorized charges totaling {$6200.00} were made on my Bank of America commercial credit card. I did not authorize these transactions, nor did I share my card or PIN with anyone. Upon noticing the charges, I promptly filed a fraud claim ( Claim # XXXX ) with Bank of America. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received a denial letter stating that the chip was read and a PIN or signature was provided, which they interpreted as me or someone I allowed making the purchases. This conclusion is inaccurate. I did not authorize these transactions, nor was the card in my possession at the time they occurred. 

I am disputing this outcome and requesting that Bank of America reconsider its denial. These were clearly fraudulent charges, and I should not be held responsible for them. I am also in the process of filing a police report to support my claim. 

I believe this issue has not been handled fairly and am seeking the CFPB 's assistance in resolving the matter.

Complaint narrative:
This collection company has been stressing me out and has done unjustifiable practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits.

A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. they didn't follow the proper 5-step validation procedure. According to the FDCPA, Im entitled to compensation for these violations and clearly, they violated my rights and abused my privileges. I demand this account be taken off immediately from mycreditreport.

Complaint narrative:
Equifaxs repeated failure to address my disputes with care and thoroughness is now more than just negligenceit has become a pattern, one that echoes the same serious concerns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already investigated. I will not allow my credit file to remain stained by errors that Equifax has failed to verify or remove, especially when that failure comes at a direct cost to my well-being and future. You have an obligation to treat consumer disputes seriously, and yet it feels as though my concerns have been dismissed entirely.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, Equifax is legally required to reinvestigate all disputed items within 30 days, and to delete any information that can not be fully and independently verified. That means verifiable proofnot assumptions, not recycled data from unreliable sources. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unverifiable must be corrected or removed entirely. I am demanding immediate corrective action, not another automated response. If you fail to do your job now, I will escalate this matter through every available channel. You are not just mishandling datayou are mishandling lives.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report contains inaccurate and conflicting account information reported by the credit bureaus. Some accounts show different statuses across bureaus ( e.g., current with one, charged-off or late with another ) and inconsistent payment histories, balances, and last payment dates. I have disputed these errors, but the information remains inaccurate, which violates FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ). I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and require the bureaus and furnishers to correct or delete all unverifiable information.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Experian is reporting two unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit file from XXXX  XXXX ( XX/XX/2025 ) and XXXX  ( XX/XX/2025 ). I did not authorize, initiate, or consent to these inquiries. I never gave written permission to either company or to Experian to access my credit file. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), credit inquiries are only lawful when initiated by the consumer and supported by a permissible purpose. That was not the case here. 

I submitted disputes directly to Experian and provided documentation stating that I did not authorize these inquiries. However, Experian has failed to remove them and did not provide any evidence to justify their inclusion. They have not shown proof of permissible purpose, and they have not complied with their obligations under the FCRA to conduct a meaningful reinvestigation. 

These hard inquiries are damaging my credit profile and were added without my consent. Experians continued reporting of them is a violation of the FCRA and may constitute willful and negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. I am demanding that these inquiries be deleted immediately and that Experian be held accountable for failing to comply with federal consumer protection laws.
