Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I think their advertising or offer was deceptive. I was a XXXX for 40 years and read everything I believed that I was going to be able to do a balance transfer for zero interest until next XXXX. I wrote the check from the checks they sent me and got a huge transaction fee for sending the check. I never would have written the check ( I dont need the money ) but I thought it was a great deal. Now it was too good to be true. But the deception was real. No explanation of the fee either. Just appears as transaction fee. I just assume it was because I wrote the check.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I provided my mortgage company with a fully paid one year home owner 's policy. There was no bill sent to the mortgage comapny, only a copy of the policy showing it was already paid in full for the up and coming year. Bank of America " system '' does not recognize if an insurnace policy is already paid and if someone has an escrow account it automatically sends out a check for the full year. This should not be allowed. I paid the policy in full in order not to have a negative escrow account balance and have my payment increase. By not having an actual person look at the new policy and automatically sending out " My '' monies in " My '' escrow account they are mis appropriating funds and most importantly wasting my time as they state the only remedy is for me to chase the money by calling the insurnace company asking for a refund. I believe this violates RESPA as it relates to handling my funds that are in my escrow account held with the mortgage company. I believe RESPA requires them to only pay bills that are due and not just make payments without confirming the amount or having an actual bill which in this case I am certain they did not get a bill because I am the one who sent it to them and no bill was sent. No verbal requests. They simply let their computer system make a payment automatically causing my account to go negative and now I will have a higher monthly mortgage payment due to their error when they re assess my escrow account.
