Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized ACH Transfer of VA XXXX XXXX Benefits To Whom It May Concern at Global USA Credit Union, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Global USA Credit Union regarding the unauthorized redirection of my VA XXXX XXXX benefit payment to an account associated with known fraudulent activity. This incident has caused me significant concern and financial distress, especially as it pertains to funds allocated for veterans benefits. 

On XX/XX/year> my VA XXXX XXXX benefit payment for {$1400.00} was transferred to an account under the name XXXX XXXX, who has a known history of overdraft issues and other questionable activities that Global USA Credit Union is already aware of. This redirection of funds was conducted without my authorization and seemingly to recoup overdrawn funds from this individual, despite my repeated requests to be removed from any association with this account. 

Furthermore, prior to this incident, I had communicated multiple times with your representatives regarding the issues involving this account and my explicit request to be removed from any connection to it. Despite my efforts, it appears that Global USA Credit Union chose to alter the destination of my ACH payment from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) without my permission or proper cause. 

It is important to note that the VA confirmed, following their own investigation, that they have only one valid account on file for my VA XXXX XXXX payments, which matches the account into which my previous two payments were successfully deposited. The VA representative spoke directly with a member of your team to verify this fact, and they, too, were assured that no changes had been authorized by VA. 

I demand an immediate investigation into this matter, along with a reversal of the redirected funds to the correct account. Additionally, I request that my account information and VA benefits be safeguarded against any unauthorized or unwarranted actions in the future. 

Please provide a response within [ a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days ] outlining the steps that will be taken to address this issue and to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Failure to resolve this matter satisfactorily will result in my filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Reserve, and other relevant regulatory bodies to ensure that Global USA Credit Union upholds its duty of care towards its members. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have had a credit card with Bank of America for over 20 years. The credit card interest rate was still at 12 % as I had never had a late payment or missed a payment. Recently, I took out a mortgage on my townhome for much less than the appraised value. The mortgage holder requested that I use some of the loan proceeds to pay off the credit card so that my debt ratio looked better. I agreed to this as long as the credit card was not closed, as I could not get a rate this low again. The mortgage company sent the payoff along with a letter stating NOT TO CLOSE THE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT. I have a copy of this letter. Bank of America closed the credit card anyway, then refused to reopen it. I did receive a polite, uniform letter informing me that I was welcome to apply for a new card with Bank of America at a higher interest rate, of course. The stated reason for not reopening my credit card was, " The terms for this account are no longer available. '' I declined. If I had known that Bank of America would take advantage of my payoff, I would not have paid the full balance. The letter clearly instructed that the account NOT BE CLOSED.

I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by { CRA }. { CRA } has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is the FOURTH attempt to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

This oversight means the associate neglected to apply the code, which feels deceptive. A friend of mine who followed the same steps received his {$400.00} bonus. The promotional offer ended on XXXX XX/XX/year>. I had opened my account on XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the debt referenced on my credit report regarding account number XXXX. 

I assert that I am not liable for this debt. The documents you provided, specifically a blanket bill of sale with a random signature, does not constitute adequate verification of the debt. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 807 ) ( 2 ) ( A ), debt collectors are prohibited from making false, deceptive, or misleading representations regarding the character, amount, or legal status of any debt. 

The case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX underscores that debt XXXX must provide valid proof of the debt, including documentation that they have the right to collect it. 

Additionally, the ruling in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  confirms that a blanket bill of sale without sufficient proof linking me to the debt does not satisfy the verification requirements under the FDCPA.
