State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is being filed intentionally and not by mistake. I have contacted the credit bureau several times, asking for the removal of all dispute comments and for any open investigations on accounts I am no longer disputing to be closed. Even after multiple attempts to resolve this directly, these dispute remarks are still showing on my credit report. These ongoing comments are creating unnecessary issues, especially now that I am in the middle of applying for a mortgage. The presence of in dispute or similar language gives an inaccurate view of my credit profile and is causing delays in the loan process.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute with Bank of America on XX/XX/year> for unauthorized debit transactions. The bank issued a provisional credit on XX/XX/year> and sent a letter stating the investigation may take up to 45 days.

Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005.11 ( c ) ( 2 ) ) requires the bank to complete the investigation within 45 days OR send a written extension notice within that period explaining why more time is needed. Bank of America never sent a written extension notice before the 45-day deadline of XX/XX/year>. 

Despite this, the bank issued its denial on XX/XX/year>, which was 84 days after the claim was opened. Because no written extension was provided within 45 days, the provisional credit is required by law to be made permanent. 

Bank of America is now stating that the credit will be reversed on XX/XX/year> in violation of Regulation E. I am requesting CFPB assistance in requiring the bank to comply with Regulation E and leave the provisional credit permanent as required by law.
