Complaint narrative:
My dispute is with Vanilla Gift Card. 
On XX/XX/2023, Customer service confiscated {$49.00} from my Vanilla card, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Briefly : My original card was hacked and funds stolen. I filed a complaint and received a replacement card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with a balance of XXXX $ and this amount is embossed on the card. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I activated the replacement card and made a purchase of XXXX $ On XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase of XXXX $ These two purchases left me with a remaining balance of XXXX $ Customer service put a hold on the remaining balance on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been told, twice, that the funds would be returned to the card. 

The last time I called I was told that the XXXX $ had been taken as a result of a merchant dispute. The representative could not tell me the name of the merchant, nor, the date of the disputed transaction. 

Both the confiscation of my funds, and the contradictory reasons for that confiscation, are completely unacceptable. To repeat, Vanilla sent me a replacement card with a {$260.00} balance AFTER investigating the hacking of the original card and finding that I was owed {$260.00}. 
Now, they say thy took the funds on XX/XX/2023, due to a merchant dispute but won't tell me what merchant nor the date of the purported disputed transaction.

Complaint narrative:
I called their customer service on XX/XX/ asking for a full amortization schedule of the loan. The person I spoke with said he is unable to provide it, but if I contact XXXX, they would be able to provide the schedule. I emailed them on XX/XX/2023 at XXXXXXXX XXXX EST. 

I recieved a reply on XX/XX/2023 from XXXX. All I recieved was a schedule of all my payments and due dates for the loan. The document did not include principal or interest amounts. 

I stated this is not the information I was asking for, so she then sent me the breakdown of interest and principal for my next payment due. 

I asked for the whole schedule, and on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX replied " You can access your loan agreement online in your account ''. 

He is correct, but there is no amortization schedule. I was originally asking for the schedule because I tried making my own and guess what? I can't get it to tie out to the weekly payments, loan total, and interest. As an accountant, this is a very basic schedule to create yourself, but raises some questions when the numbers dont seem to work and no one will get you what you are asking for. 

I have sent 2 follow up emails but have no recieved a response since XX/XX/XXXX. 

I will take responsibility that I took the loan with an absolutely insane interest rate, but they are NOT being transparent.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring an issue to your attention that I encountered while reviewing my credit report. It appears that an old credit card account under my name has been reported as a charge off. 
As I am currently in the process of applying for a house, having an accurate credit report is of utmost importance. I understand that under federal law, when an account is charged off, the company is required to send a 1099C form to the account holder. However, I have not received this form for the above-mentioned account. 
I kindly request that you send me a copy of the 1099C form associated with this charge off. This will allow me to have a more accurate understanding of the reported information and potentially address any discrepancies. 
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information from me, please do not hesitate to ask. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  From : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Complaint : Negligent action by Bank of America and possibly XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in handling the fraudulent act by the partyXXXX XXXXXXXX to whom the check was made out to causing us a loss of {$1800.00} Dear Sir : We were defrauded by XXXX XXXX, who was hired by us for some paint job . A check # XXXX for {$1800.00} from Bank of America ( BOA ) checking account ending with XXXX was issued to him on XX/XX/ in the evening after XXXX XXXX 

He cashed the check same evening using a mobile deposit using XXXX XXXX account without an endorsement. Next morning on XX/XX/ he went in person to BOA branch to attempt to cash the check again. Although, BOA teller did not cash the check, the bank should have known that the check # XXXX was already cashed and hence the bank should not have returned the original check back to XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX returned our original check back to us and demanded cash instead, as the Bank would not cash our check for him. We contacted the BOA branch office, ( when XXXX XXXX was present in the bank ) to inquire as to why our check was not being honored, we were not provided satisfactory answers. That left us no alternative but withdraw the funds ourselves and give him cash. 

The bank should have aware that the check was already cashed through mobile deposit as per its posting seen on monthly statement. BOA failed to let us know the cause of not cashing our check. 

We were shocked to see that the check was cashed when we got our monthly statement on XXXX  We promptly called the fraud line of BOA and lodged a complaint with check fraud department. Complaint # XXXX. We also lodged a complaint with BOA branch in XXXX California. 

Reviewing the images of the check on our monthly statement clearly shows that the check was not endorsed ; it was submitted as a mobile deposit at XXXX XXXX bank on XX/XX/ and it was posted by BOA on XXXX 

We feel the both Bank of America and XXXX XXXX banks were negligent in their operation. 

Inquiring with the BOA on XXXX, we were told that they have received all the necessary documents from us and inquiry is in progress. 

I believe it is systemic issue that someone can cash a check through mobile deposit in the evening and then go to the bank in person next day and try to cash the check again without the bank not catching it. 


Please look into the matter and see if we could be made whole on our unwarranted loss.
