Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Beware of Bank of America and their auto-pay features! 
In XXXX of XXXX I received a notification of a late payment on my Bank of America credit card. I went into the branch and they said I missed the payment and to avoid late payments in the future I should sign up for auto-pay! I explained I've ALWAYS been enrolled in auto-pay! They said that somehow I had gotten " bumped off '' of auto-pay and they said they'd re-enroll me. They apologized, said they didn't know how that had happened, but that it was fixed. They also admitted it was their system and they would remove the late payment. I didn't follow up as I trusted that they would follow through with their efforts, particularly because it was their error. Then in XXXX of XXXX I had an issue with my debit card and fraud ( that is used for the payment to the B of A credit card payment ). I was issued another card and gave it to BofA but that one ended up accidentaly getting canceled by XXXX XXXX, the issuer. They then sent me another card and I put that one into the auto-pay but apparently the payment was not pulled. When I got the notification of the late payment I called and it was 31 days late and I had been un-enrolled AGAIN from the auto-pay feature for the second time. I now have two late payments on my credit report with Bank of America ( through no fault of my own ) and Bank of America is not removing them which, despite a high credit rating is interfering with my business credit plans. I need XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to take responsibility for their errors and to remove these late payments from my reports.

I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ). 
Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ). 
Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ). 
Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

The creditor is reporting a charge-off, which by definition requires XXXX XXXX of delinquency. However, my account was never late, and my payment history reflects zero late payments. Additionally, my past due balance is {$0.00}, further confirming that no delinquency ever existed. 

This inaccurate reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires furnishers to report only accurate information. The false charge-off is negatively impacting my credit profile, and I request its immediate removal.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.
