Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to have Edfinancial sign a form for a loan program from my employer ( EDRP ) where they reimburse me for payments up to a certain amount. All I need is them to sign the form that confirms my total loan amount before payments restarted- when I officially sent in the form. Since then, I have now made XXXX payments and will be making my XXXX. I have reached out multiple times. When I spoke to a representative on the phone, she said there is nothing she can do and I should try faxing and emailing. The email link has been down, so I also sent a fax. I've also tried to upload the form through my account even thought they haven't had an appropriate avenue to do that from. Today, the email link was up again, so I've sent an email too. My deadline to have all of this submitted is coming up and I don't want to miss out on XXXX XXXXXXXX in loan payment reimbursement from my employer because Edfinancial couldn't sign a form saying they own my loans.

Complaint narrative:
I understand that deciphering the intricacies of credit reporting can be as challenging as decoding hieroglyphics. However, I find it perplexing that some fraud accounts have successfully made their grand exit, while others seem to have mastered the art of resurrection. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 
LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR : ALL DISPUTED FRAUD ACCOUNTS ON MY CREDIT REPORT ARE THE RESULT OF IDENTITY THEFT, not some avant-garde performance art. I fail to comprehend why some of these impostors have been granted an unceremonious eviction, while their counterparts continue to throw a raucous party on my credit history. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! 
I demand a fair and equitable resolution to this enigmatic situation. If certain fraud accounts can be deleted with the swiftness of a XXXX disappearing act, then surely, the rest can follow suit. It's only fair, right? OR IS FAIRNESS JUST ANOTHER ILLUSION IN THE MYSTERIOUS REALM OF CREDIT REPORTING? I implore you to exercise your investigative prowess and uncover the secrets behind this confounding conundrum. WHY DO SOME FRAUD ACCOUNTS RECEIVE A VIP PASS TO THE EXIT, WHILE OTHERS CLING TO MY CREDIT REPORT LIKE UNWANTED HOUSEGUESTS?

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I requested a credit card payment adjustment of {$1500.00} and {$1700.00} in which I would get both those amounts back to my original payment method and I would have to pay off the XXXX amounts again. 

On XX/XX/2023, the adjustment was accepted and I was charged {$1500.00} and {$1700.00} again on my credit card ( which is what is supposed to happen ). 

The problem is that I did not get that amount back to my original payment method. 

I have contacted Bank of America over and over since then and even visited their branch stores, but they are not able to help me. They even closed my case without a resolution.

Despite my efforts and successful removal from other credit bureaus, this particular account continues to plague my credit report, as if no corrective action has been taken. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. It's like participating in a never-ending magic show, where some fraudulent accounts vanish into thin air while others stubbornly linger, refusing to take their final bow. I must admit, your bureau 's ability to keep me on the edge of my sanity is truly impressive!!

Complaint narrative:
My credit card -First Progress, which was advertised as a credit repair and rebuild type credit card closed my account XX/XX/XXXX, took my security deposit and applied it to the balance XX/XX/XXXX. At the time I was XXXX payments behind, but I informed them that I had moved, had to find a place to stay and this was the reason I was behind. I had this account for almost XXXX years this was the only time I experienced this Challenge. I found out my account was closed after seeing my credit report, which they reported all this information to the credit bureaus but never called, sent a letter, nothing. When I called to get an understanding of this decision. NONE WAS GIVEN, they were quite rude and unprofessional, they advised me they didnt have to provide a reason. I came to know first progress thru XXXX XXXX and they were billed as a credit repair and rebuilder. Which I quickly found out it was more about the fees and interest. They were not as advertised, they made it difficult and costly to make payments to them, pay by phone {$27.00} you can mail which sometimes made things worse, by not getting their on time. They really hurt my credit and didnt really communicate very well me. They didnt have any empathy for my situation and are quite rude and unprofessional over the phone. My last payment of XXXX cents which was supposed to be zeroed out because they waved their membership fee {$49.00}. After I called in they advised me my balance was XXXX and sent another bill with XXXX cents and required me to send a payment of XXXXXXXX XXXX and they havent updated my credit report advising my balance is paid in full.

Complaint narrative:
Despite providing this information and the successful removal of the fraudulent account by other credit bureaus, your bureau has inexplicably chosen to disregard the validity of my dispute. This blatant refusal to acknowledge the fraudulency of the account and its persistence on my credit report is not only unjust but also a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. This situation not only tarnishes my creditworthiness but also violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by seemingly ignoring clear evidence of identity theft.

I'm confused how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or unverifiable. 
I demand an immediate and thorough investigation into this matter, with a focus on acknowledging the identity theft and the fraudulent nature of the account in question. The continued presence of this account on my credit report has far-reaching consequences on my financial standing and is causing considerable distress. 
The bankruptcy which is being reported to my credit report is inaccurate. The case which youre reporting as valid & accurate is actually incorrect. I never had a case tried or seen. There was NEVER A JUDGMENT. No judgment means there was never a case. A judge never saw a case so how is one being reported.

Please see this account is removed from my file at once.
