Complaint narrative:
RE Account Numbers XXXX XXXX, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting my nonpublic and personal information without my written consent. Please show me the proof you sent me giving me options on how I could opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and proof showing you gave me the option to not disclose my transaction history each month with a third party.

The law states a consumer must give written consent to opt out of sharing their nonpublic information to the financial institution. I did this and you stated I did not have that right to opt out. It is a violation to report my transactions or experiences between you and I with a third party or consumer reporting agency without my written consent. It is the policy stated by Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers to insure the security and confidentiality of their customer records and information. This includes protecting against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

I the consumer should have been given the opportunity, before such information was to be reported which gives me the option to direct you that such information should not be reported. I also should have been explained how I could exercise that nondisclosure option, which I was never advised. I have written multiple times, and you have continued to ignore my written request.

Your failure to comply with the law and my written request has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Again, I am requesting to opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and for you to remove all my transaction history from all nonaffiliated third parties such as XXXX, XXXX, and Trans Union immediately. Otherwise, I will pursue legal actions for every month my nonpublic information has been reported which could be a fine of {$1000.00} per violation. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report I noticed a revolving credit card account on my XXXX report from Capital one that lists me as an Authorized User on an account that has been closed by the credit grantor. I have contacted Capital One regarding this matter and they are unable to locate this account in my credit history. Nevertheless it appears on my credit report and is showing an account that is in excess of XXXX late. I am not familiar with this account nor have I been an Authorized User on any accounts via Capital One or any other credit cards. This has greatly affected my credit report and score and I am requesting that this matter is resolved immediately so that I can attain a positive credit score and rating. I have attached a copy of the credit report so that one is able to see the negative information that is reflected on the account.

I am writing to formally dispute the bankruptcy being reported on my credit report. The credit report states that this bankruptcy is furnished by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Alabama, but after contacting the court, they confirmed that they do not furnish or report any information to credit bureaus. Therefore, the bankruptcy information currently being reported by your agency is unverifiable, false, and misleading.

This bankruptcy has been incorrectly listed on my credit report for several years, despite my consistent disputes claiming that it is not mine. I am requesting immediate removal of this inaccurate information from my credit report, as it is causing unnecessary harm to my credit profile.

Please investigate this matter AND STOP USING OCR ( IF I AM TELLING YOU ITS WRONG PLEASE COMPLETE A HAND INVESTIGATION OR JUST REMOVE IT ) and provide me with confirmation that the false information has been removed. I appreciate your prompt attention to correcting this error.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America stopped my automatic bill pay for several months and then restarted it but not until after the amount do was higher that the automated payment amount on several account. 

It cause several account to be sent to collecttions. Bank of America sent my Bank of America Credit Card to collections when i had perfect payment history. I have been with the bank for 20 years.

They blamed a third part vendor who maintained the bill pay, bill pay blamed the bank. No one was held accountable. And the funds wher not completely refunded and the damage was not undone.

I was on the phone for months trying to repair their misstake. 6 months into it they claimed they could only look back 30 days when the mistake had happen a year before and i had been on the claims and fraud protection for montsh about it but becaue i would not except their misstake they just simple said we can only go back 30 days.

That one error cause all my automatic bill payment accounts to be sent to collections. Which dropped my XXXX XXXX down to a XXXX. I lost all my other credit card, my loans all went into default. I did not catch the error unitll several months after it occured when i recieved a credit report and all my accounts where sent to collections. 

I contacted the credit company and they claimed they did a investigation and could not do anything becuse the accounts whe confirmed. I contacted them repeatedly, I contacted the bank repeatedly. Several months into it the bank confirmed they mistake. 

The XXXX XXXX claimed they investigation was done when it was not. If you looked at my payment history alone it would be obvious there was a mistake becaue I have perfect payment history becaue all by bills where on automatic bill pay for years. 

I have tried repeatedly to get my credit card returned and reactivated but my credit report is so ugly wont even my own back reissue the card they fraudulently sent to collections. I was told the algorithm kept kicking my application back and that i have to subbmitte a request in writeing which i did. 

I requested my account be looked at, that a supperior card be issued and a increase in my credit limit and repayment of the fees and charges and lose and damages. I have not heard anything in 8 months. 

They finally issured a retraction to the credit companies that proved they were lying about looking in to all my claims. When Bank of America retracted theirs it validated that all the other account that were sent to collections was their fault which had them all removed, but the damage was already done.
