Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the way my recent business account was handled, which has negatively impacted both my financial well-being and my confidence in your institution. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited the branch with the intention of opening a business account. I submitted all required documentation including my EIN, two forms of identification, and my LLC file number. I was assisted by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who was exceptionally professional, patient, and informative. His demeanor and helpfulness made me feel that Bank of America was the right choice for my business needs. He assured me that I could reach out for additional support whenever needed. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email confirming that my application was under review. Later that same day, I returned to the branch to make a {$1000.00} deposit. That evening, I received confirmation that I was set up to start receiving payments via XXXX. 

Between XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, I successfully received three payments via XXXX. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to send a {$100.00} business payment via XXXX, and despite trying XXXX times, the transactions failed. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX additional payments from clients were denied. 

XXXX, I returned to the branch on XX/XX/XXXX and met with both XXXX XXXX and the branch XXXX. After a brief investigation, I was informed that my account had been closed due to fraud and that my identity could not be validateddespite having previously submitted all documents. While present in the office and on the phone with a representative named XXXX XXXX from the XXXX XXXX XXXX department, my identity was again verified. At that moment, I received a notification that {$1200.00} had been withdrawn from my account. I did not make this withdrawal. 

XXXX XXXX was unhelpful, dismissive, and did not provide any clarity or support during the interaction. I am formally requesting that this matter be investigated and that a complaint be filed against him. 

Beyond this troubling encounter, I was never notifiedby text, email, or phoneof suspected fraud or account suspension. The lack of communication severely disrupted my ability to operate my business, causing financial loss and the risk of losing clients. 

While I remain appreciative of XXXX XXXX outstanding professionalism, my experience with Bank of America has been deeply disappointing, and I urge you to review their internal procedures for handling such matters. 

I am requesting a formal investigation and a written response regarding the closure of my account and the unauthorized withdrawal.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to follow up on Complaint XXXX. I have visited the branch on two separate occasions in an effort to resolve this issue. Despite these efforts, I continue to be billed and asked to return in person to address the matter a process that is both burdensome and ineffective. 

This situation raises serious concerns under UDAAP ( Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices ). Specifically : The initial disclosures failed to clearly outline potential fees or conditions, resulting in unexpected charges.

Communications regarding these charges were not sent to my correct mailing address, despite my repeated instructions to use my XXXX XXXXXXXX. 
I have now been billed for over three years of Safe Deposit Box ( SDB ) fees without proper notification, which could have resulted in significant financial harm had I not discovered the issue independently. 
Additionally, I believe this may also violate 31 CFR 515.517, which outlines specific conditions for access and handling of safe deposit boxes, particularly when involving designated parties or restricted access 1.

This experience is not only unfair it is deceptive, especially considering the financial impact it could have on consumers. With nearly 40 % of Americans unable to cover an unexpected {$400.00} expense, this type of billing practice represents a serious risk to consumer well-being.

For reference, Ive included the most recent communication from Chase regarding this complaint below.

Complaint narrative:
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.
