Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Hello : I recently received information that my XXXX XXXX in the month of XX/XX/year> went down XXXX points. Upon my research it stated that I used my XXXX  credit card between approximately the dates of XX/XX/XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, in which my high balance was {$370.00} out of my {$4500.00} credit limit. Which is far below the 30 % utilization and this should help my XXXX XXXX. But yet my XXXX XXXX went down. I paid my balance down to XXXX, which I have currently done at the date of this complaint. My question and concern is : Who and Why is my XXXX XXXX going down for just using my credit card Before I'm able to pay down my credit card to zero. I am not late on any of my vibe accounts currently or previously this year, last year etc.. I am not late on my XXXX.Credit card. I called a consumer credit XXXX and they informed me to call XXXX bank in regards to finding out why my XXXX XXXX went down because of just using {$370.00} out of my {$4500.00} credit limit, discover bank for my credit card stated they did not make that report that reduced my XXXX XXXX. From XXXX down to XXXX. XXXX credit card department informed me to contact transunion directly. TransUnion, customer service stated. They could not give me any information in regards to any discrepancies. He says that there is information showing that I have a late payment. And I have not been late on anything. He stated he could not give me any information from my credit report. And all he could do is send me a copy of my credit report, I asked him if there is a way of accessing my credit report for transunion directly on the website and he stated no. The problem and bottom line is TransUnion. And Equifax dropped my XXXX XXXX XXXX points before processing and showing that i have paid my balance in full for XXXX. But just droped my score, just for using my credit card and that is not right or fair. Transunion stated That's something or someone stated. I have a late payment and I do not have any late payments. TransUnion does not have any Information to give by phone. I'm currently waiting fie a copy to be mailed to me. Same issue and situation with and for Equifax at this time.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
It seems that Bank of America has frozen my savings account and rescinded my access from even accessing either my checking or saving account. I have been a customer with BoA for the last XXXX  years, and have a lot of dependency on this account as a result. For example, all my direct deposits are linked to this, all my autopay on credit card payments are linked to this account, and due to the closure and inability to access my account for the past week, I have not been able to control anything. My account currently sits in overdraft without a way for me to remedy the situation. The bank hasn't given me any conclusion on this, and every department has been telling me a different conclusion based on what they see -- I am very worried as the account holds a decent chunk of money for my livelihood. To clarify, I have never had such an issue, and while the Bank might have suddenly considered me a " high risk '' customer ( which they have communicated to me ), I don't know the reason and I don't know how to remedy it. I am a working professional of good credit standing making a strong wage, so I'm not sure what fraudulent activity might even have been picked up on.
