COMPLAINT ABOUT : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX, XXXX I have tried multiple times to address my credit score and my credit report with Equifax customer service and CEO, XXXX XXXX. Things got better but then declined again. This time my score went up XXXX points and then with no alert to me went down XXXX points ... the report is attached with this. I am SO tired of dealing with XXXX XXXX 's stupidity! I wouldn't mind but I have addressed these issues multiple times. Even sometnhing as simple as changing my address was done incorrectly several times, and I wrote and sent it correctly several times!! 

There are also statements, that my oldest credit account is too new, which is incorrect and which I already addressed to no avail. 

NO ONE should have to go through the effort I have gone through ... and as well when directly addressing a CEO. 

I need credit statements corrected as detailed in my letters, and my credit score raised again XXXX points

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/22, I received a cashiers check from my father in the amount of {$13000.00}. This was taken from my dads bank account from XXXX, and was given to me to pay off my loan. 

Immediately ( within XXXX minutes ), we deposited this cashiers check into my Bank of America account at the local financial center. I was told then that the funds would be available XXXX since this amount is larger than {$5000.00}. 

XXXX @ XXXX AM I received an email from BOA saying a hold until XXXX was placed bc check specific information indicates item XXXX be returned. I did not understand why since this was a cashiers check taken from my fathers home equity loan and then deposited immediately at a financial center. 

XXXX I call Bank of America to inquire what was going on since I was unable to log into my account to see where we were with the hold. I am told by the risk team that due to my cashiers check being counterfeit, my account is now closed. Bank of America did not contact me informing me this was happening. 

The following few days I call the risk team 6 times to figure out the solution since the cashiers check is not fraudulent. I am told different things by each employee on how to resolve the issue. 

XXXX I go to the BOA branch where the cashiers check a deposited and talk to the branch XXXX XXXX XXXX. He tells me there is not anything he can on his end, but recommends I go to the XXXX branch. There, the XXXX employee XXXX XXXX is confused this has happened and informs me BOA did not contact XXXX to confirm the cashiers check validity at any point. They confirm the money has been taken from my dads account. XXXX employee emails BOA branch XXXX to verify that the cheque had come from XXXX. 

Frustrated, I call the BOA risk department and ask for the situation to be escalated to the supervisor. The supervisor flags the cashiers check for XXXX review, and says the analyst will make an update within XXXX business days XXXX I speak to the BOA risk mitigation supervisor, and he informs me no update has been made.
