Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I recieved four emails from Bank of America regarding an application and approval for a Bank of America Advantage SafeBalance Banking account being opened in my name. I did not open this account. I attempted to contact Bank of America, but their automated system told me that they are closed. 

I did not apply to open the above referenced account. 

I don't understand how Bank of America can allow people to open accounts after business hours, and apparently without any form of identification.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Tried to resolve this with Chase Bank directly, but it did not work. I opened my credit card statement to discover a new " TRANSACTION FEE '' on my card. When I clicked on it to view more details, there was nothing. For all other transactions, it tells you all the relevant information : IDs associated with it, the vendor, etc. With this, there was XXXX. It's almost like they were hiding it. When I called them, they immediately told me it was because they recently decided to start charging for using XXXX with my card. They did not warn me of this, help me to understand this ahead of time, and if they did in any way, it was not sufficient communication. If it was, I would have stopped immediately. The fact that the online interface hides all details is proof they don't want you to know. They're super eager for you to know about other vendors that may be fraudulent, but not them, not themselves. They play by different rules where they hide and give you no recourse. 

Mind you, this is a NEW fee on existing behavior. The burden is on them. 

In total they have charged me {$120.00} in fees in the last year or so. I demand they do the right thing and refund me.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Purchased a {$400.00} prepaid card from the company XXXX from a XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Checked the balance on their website shortly after I received it, to which it appeared normal. Attempted to use the card the same day on several websites, and card was declined on each one/transaction did not go through. On XX/XX/XXXX ( next day ), attempted to check the balance on the card via their website, only to receive a message saying the website and card is invalid/down. Called customer service on the same day, get through and customer service rep assures me that card is working. Attempt to check balance again after rep says this, website/card is still down. Eventually rep offers the option for them to send me a new card that can be reactivated on my own for the same balance, to which I accept. XXXX assured me that card will be received in XXXX business days. As of the end of the day XX/XX/XXXX, replacement card still has not been received.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America was supposed to process me a credit balance refund request for {$720.00} when I closed my student credit card account because of a dispute. However, someone had fraudulently claimed my check. I was trying to explain this to them over the phone. I have called the bank almost 15 times over the past year, and I've spent over 20 hours over the phone trying to resolve this long running issue but the bank does not want to assist me it seems. It went from being transferred from different departments to agents claiming they will research the matter and get back to me which never happened. One had even claimed they will send me the check to my current address because of the fraudulent claim but it never occurred. Very shady behavior from BofA when it comes to helping people who have been a victim of check fraud.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Im a XXXX XXXX XXXX cardholder on vacation in XXXX ( XXXX ) where my card has been declined at every single merchant ; using any type of card-present transaction ( Chip, Tap-and-go, Apple Pay ) for my account XXXX. 

This new XXXX credit account was established by me recently with the purpose of achieving my {$3000.00} minimum spend requirement during my month long holiday to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. As of this writing on XX/XX/2023 XXXX has made it impossible for me to use this card overseas. 

I have contacted XXXX and spoken to more than XXXX different individuals there since XX/XX/2023 about my challenges while abroad in international calls at my own cost. This is no exaggeration ( check your records ) ; XXXX has XXXX XXXX notes ; and those calls are recorded. The purpose of this complaint is to reach a higher-level department outside of those previously involved to finally resolve this issue = allow me to use my credit card overseas ( physical, card present and apple pay kind of transactions )! 

XXXX has made me contact multiple departments over the course of this ordeal. Namely : XXXX Member Services ( aka PenFed themselves ; CC issuer ) Cardmember Security ( apparently a VISA or external vendor party to PenFed ) On XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX- I spoke to XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX who wasnt really helpful. She was escalated directly from a supervisor of XXXX XXXX named XXXX. He informed XXXX that all of my fraud risk profile had been adjusted and accounted for my travel notice ; and further confirmed that all my transactions patterns match the XXXX of a regular traveler. In other words ; the merchants I have been declined at like XXXX do not deserve to be flagged as declined.
