Consumer complaint received 2024-09-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Bank of America to close one of my credit cards with them. After an exceptionally long hold I was told the wrong card was closed and she had to escalate to reopen the card. She did not at ANY point tell me there was a credit inquiry to reopen the card SHE closed in ERROR. Approximately 5 minutes after the call ended I received an alert that there was a hard pull on all 3 credit bureaus. I checked and my score dropped an average of XXXX points across bureaus. I called back and was nonchalantly advised it would take 10-15 days to fix their mistake. This is unacceptable and I consider this an unauthorized credit pull that two representatives had the opportunity to tell me about and neither did. It is highly unethical and may impact my interest rates on buying a house or a car for the next 3-4 months. Something needs to be done about this unethical practice of pulling credit without notifying the costumer, because I would have told them to leave the card closed because I dont actually use either Bank of America card on a regular basis and pay around XXXX annually. The rep was very well aware that I was contemplating closing that card too because I TOLD her. So, she had made a promo points offer to keep the card. Which makes it even more unethical not to provide me with a choice in the matter of pulling MY credit. Contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX case # XXXX and his supervisor XXXX. I dont know the two female reps names who caused the issue.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

Company: BANKERS HEALTHCARE GROUP LLC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for what I thought was a personal loan through Bankers Health Group ( BHG ), in XXXX, XXXX. This loan was taken out in XXXX, XXXX. I have tried numerous times to get this loan refinanced with another company to no avail due to a very high interest rate of 21 %. In my recent attempt a loan processor advised me this loan was not showing up on my credit report. I told him the circumstances of this loan and he advised me to stop making payments on it and contact an attorney. BHG is currently being sued in the State of XXXX XXXX  for for fraudulently giving unknowingly people a business loan to skirt financial regulation laws. XXXX XXXX  in XXXX  who underwrote these loans are a co defendant. During my loan application and process I never once told the processor I intended to use the loan for a business. I have never owned a business, nor do I intend to start a business and I do not have a XXXX number. As previously stated I thought I was taking out a personal loan and now because of fraud I can not even get it refinanced. Let me also state this loan is a unsecured one. Additionally this loan was underwritten in the State of XXXX. Which has a cap on business and personal loans at 12.5 %. 
Thanks for any help in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am having an ongoing issue with XXXX XXXX  for several months. It started with a refund that I never received. They do not email you directly, its all through an online system, unless they send you a bill due date or send you a letter saying your payment was processed. I have called at least 20 different times and emailed this company over 30 times, as well as sending them a letter to their po box , which I did not get a response from for 3 months. 
We are still in dispute. They refunded all the late fees being I was not late but will not fix my credit report saying I was late for the month of XXXX and XXXX. 
I have several letters for this company saying 'I will not be charged late fees or shown as delinquent or late to the credit agencies for those months. 
I have reported them several times through Experian and XXXX, uploaded all of the proof of these letters and Nothing is done. 
I have seen over 50 people having the same type of problems with XXXX XXXX  and they are getting away with it. 
What are the credit agencies for? What is the point of sending " proof '' to them if Nothing is done to help the people?? 

Please help me!
