Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I opened a prepaid/secured c/card with Bank of America, deposited {$500.00} dollars. Had excellent payment history. In XXXX, I asked the bank to cancel/close my credit card account and return my deposit. My multiple calls, emails, formal requests were ignored, my account has never been closed. I complained to the OCC 's office and Attorney General Consumer Fraud division. The Bank of America took adverse action and retaliated against. Subsequently my account was impacted by bogus, fraudulent late charges, was escalated to their collection agency, which adversly affected my credit score. In XXXX and XXXX when I was out of Country due to emergencies, the Bank of America was even contacted from overseas, I incurred long distance/international calls charges. I can prove by my phone bill my countless long distance calls made to the creditor. The bank took advantage of my absence from country due to my medical emergency and never closed nor cancelled my card. As a result of that bureaucratic runaround, scam and consumer financial fraud, my account incurred bogus late charges, with derrogatory remarks and default status, resulting in harsh impact to my credit rating. My credit score was crashed because the Bank of America took adverse action, retaliated against me in response to my formal complaint filed with the federal agencies in charge. I was denied loans or other credit cards only because of this harsh impact on my credit file, since the creditor reported my account status as negative/charge off. I retained a lawyer only for legal communication with the creditor. Upon receipt of the legal letter, I received a call from the Bank of America Executive office and was promised an immediate deletion/removal of the negative reporting from all three ( 3 ) credit reporting bureaus. I was cheated, scammed and defrauded. The same false negative/derrogatory status reappears in my credit file. As a victim of financial fraud and predatory lending, I would contact all media channels, FBI, Federal Reserve Board if your office would fail to enforce the laws and regulations to protect my rights as a consumer and victim of financial fraud by the bank. See attached legal letter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I purchased a digital download of computer software from XXXX using a Vanilla XXXX  prepaid XXXX  Debit Gift card. the money was taken from the account the same day. I never received the promised confirmation email with the software download link and activation instructions. I called appleinsidershop.com at the number on their website, emailed their customer support and tried to chat with someone via the chat feature on their website. All to no avail. On XX/XX/XXXX I called the XXXX number on the back of my Vanilla XXXX prepaid card and spoke to someone in support. The woman told me she had processed a refund on my account and I would see it on my card on XX/XX/XXXX which is today. I logged in today and the refund was not there. I have spent over XXXX hours today on the phone being transferred from agent to agent at Vanilla XXXX and being lied to about their process, the refund status, and being denied to speak to a XXXX. I finally got someone who claims she was a XXXX. I told her I wanted to file a complaint about this transaction because I paid for it and never received it. I gave her my name, card number, and my phone number. She demanded my date of birth and an address " in case they needed to send me a check or a gift card for the disputed amount. '' I refused and told her I was not giving her any of my personal information. She refused to process my complaint. I was not asked for any personal details when I purchased this card and am not giving these people my XXXX, XXXX, or home address. I don't need or want a paper check, cash, or a replacement gift card. I need the monies refunded back to the card it was purchased on. This card does not expire until the year XXXX! 

There is absolutely no reason these people would EVER need to refund {$33.00} via a paper check, different gift card, or any other means 7 years from now! Their reasoning for trying to get people 's personal information beyond name, email, and phone is absurd. 

I need help getting this company to XXXX. Process a refund. I have emails proving I have contacted this merchant regarding this ; XXXX. Address the fact that this company 's staff routinely lies, misleads, and misinforms people about processing refunds for goods they have not received.

Called Synchrony turns out they have a special data interchange relationship with XXXX XXXX. Also a private label credit card. 

Synchrony XXXX apologized and said they would remove credit inquiry on my XXXX credit profile. Has not happened yet, it is still on my credit profile with XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative. Usually I don't answer unknown numbers but because my Identity has been stolen, I'm receiving calls from Banks in regards to my credit freeze and fraud alert. So I'm answering every call I receive because I don't know if it's a bank or not. I wasn't aware of XXXX as a debt collector so I did not want to give my personal information to the representative, I said I would call back because I need to verify the information. But the representative became very pushy and aggressive and I told him I don't trust him and I don't know if he's a scammer too so I'll call back. The representative hung up the phone and immediately called me back on a separate line ( fake phone # XXXX at XXXX ) to cuss me out, insult my wife and mother, and make threats against me. It was clearly the same guy because it was the exact same voice and he said he was going to use my information to steal my identity as well. I hung up on him and first verified XXXX XXXX as a debt collector and then called them back to report him but the offices were not open because it was the weekend. 
I included documentation showing that they are a debt collector attempting to collect a debt ( I found a correspondence from them ) and screenshots from my phone of the incoming calls, the time of the calls and the duration of each ( which shows he called me immediately ).

Complaint narrative:
I am past due on my closed credit card account. I have spoken with a representative at Bank Of America regarding statements from when my account was in good standing. As stated by the representative further supported by their online customer portal specifically requesting documents I should have access to my previous statements. I understand that how loans and credit are both extensions of credit, how they are advanced and repaid differentiates one from the other. Online portal states 6 years of statements and only loan or trust accounts could be limited. Access to my statements are being withheld without notice from the lender this would be a consequence of defaulting on payments. I have been working on gaining access to these statements for over a week now.
