Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Over the summer, I made a big purchase from XXXX XXXX ( {$320.00} ), but the product ended up being defective. I went to return the item to XXXX XXXX, but the store did not honor their return policy. They would also not even issue a store credit. I brought the dispute to my bank and provided them a detailed letter about the issue. I provided all the details necessary to make a decision. The bank denied my dispute, and wants me to run around in circles providing information I don't have to appeal it. These are not the terms that were advertised to me when I signed up for the credit card. I was promised protection against defective purchases, and Bank of America is basically making it impossible to deal with.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been in school for the entire XXXX year up to XX/XX/XXXX and was under deferment. I received a bill for several XXXX dollars from Sloan Servicing. I submitted the required paperwork, but they are not only ignoring the university submitted paperwork, but they demanded the entire loan balance of $ XXXX. 

In addition, all of my student loans that I took XXXX XXXX  were fixed rate loans. They have either doctored the paperwork to reflect variable rates, or mistakenly applied variable rates. Since most of the loans were moved from XXXX to XXXX, my guess is they doctored the paperwork. I am an accountant and there is absolutely no way I would have switched from a very low fixed rate to a higher consolidated variable rate. That never happened.

State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX  XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX  XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.
