Consumer complaint received 2023-02-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I applied for and secured ( followed a hard credit inquiry ) a Business Advantage Customized Cash Rewards card from Bank of America, as part of opening a business checking account with their bank. 

Before applying and opening the accounts, I asked multiple representatives whether or not specific vendors would be eligible under their rewards categories, and they confirmed that vendors ( specifically, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). 

After spending XXXX days tracking down the XXXX codes to determine which category to select ( after opening the account ), I learned that these services are not eligible. 

Unfortunately, beyond Bank of America 's misleading sales practices, applying for an opening the account involved a hard inquiry into my credit, negatively affecting my score. This had a direct impact on my immediate ability to secure more favorable lending terms, which I was happy to experience if the bank had been honest about its product, but it wasn't. 

I have asked Bank of America to honor its agreement and add the codes to one of its rewards categories, but it has, to date, refused. It has also, to date, refused to do anything to provide an alternative method to ameliorate the situation.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ 2022, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. Over 60 days later, I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being taken advantage of and being ignored in my disputes. In Section 611 ( a ), it is stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted expeditiously. If the accounts are not deleted immediately, I will file for litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My information was also impacted by the equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
