Issue: Problem with customer service — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding ongoing issues I have encountered with Bank of America, that have severely impacted my business. Over the past several years, I have made multiple attempts to cash checks legitimately written to me for business purposes at this institution. However, each time, the bank has refused to cash any check that bears my name. 

What is particularly troubling is that the bank has consistently refused to provide me with any explanation for their actions. Despite my repeated requests for clarification, I have not received any reasoning or justification for these refusals. 

The inability to cash these checks has caused significant disruption to my business operations and has adversely affected my reputation with clients and partners. The lack of transparency from the bank has made it impossible for me to address or rectify any potential issues, leaving me in a position where my business is unjustly hindered. 

I am seeking your assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring that the bank is held accountable for its actions. I also request that the bank be required to provide a clear and valid explanation for their refusal to cash these checks, so that I may take the necessary steps to resolve the issue. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and support in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX
