Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX my credit card was stolen and I didnt realize it was until XX/XX/XXXX. I checked my account via mobile app on XX/XX/XXXX to find {$920.00} in stolen charges on my card dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. Some of these charges were so recent they were still processing, and werent able to be added to the claim until XX/XX/XXXX when the merchant sent them through. I called the bank to get a new card, the old card closed and these charges reversed. I then got an unapproval letter claiming they could not remove these charges due to having signed receipts from merchants, sending my monthly statement to my apartment, and that I had used the card previously. Again, I have had this card for around 6 years so of course the statement address and usage checks out. I DID NOT make these charges and the signed receipts are most likely from the thief who stole my card and also fraudulently signed my name as in identity theft. I have called them to reopen this case twice now and have filed a police report. There has been no resolution.

Complaint narrative:
An inaccurate late payment was reported on my credit report by this company. I made the payment on time, and I have documentation supporting this fact. Despite my previous disputes and requests for verification, the company has not corrected the information. This constitutes non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ). I am requesting a full reinvestigation and correction of this error without further delay.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as Public Record - Federal - XXXX VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court US BKPT CT XXXX XXXXXXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal demand for the complete disclosure of the method of verification used during your prior investigation ( s ) of the disputed items on my credit report. Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) [ 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ], you are legally required to provide a description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disputed information, including the name, address, and contact information of the party who verified the data. The fact that these inaccurate items are still being reported leads me to believe that no actual verification was conducted, and that you may have relied on automated or incomplete responses from the furnisher, which is a violation of your duty to perform a reasonable investigation under FCRA Section 611 ( a ).

Issue: Confusing or missing disclosures — 
Company: Fundo LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Fundo LLC, a company that issued a so-called merchant cash advance loan to me under deceptive and abusive terms. 

I received a {$550.00} advance. XXXX has charged me extremely high fees ( over $ XXXX ) and recently filed a UCC-1 lien against my business even though there is no actual security agreement in the contract, and after my repeated comments to them that I REVOKE any UCC authorization. This appears to be unlawful and coercive under UCC law and Tennessee statutes. They even charged me a {$250.00} for this unlawful filing.

Furthermore, Fundo refuses to offer secure, transparent repayment methods. They demand that I email my bank account or debit card information, which is a major security concern and noncompliant with best practices.

I acknowledge I still owe a balance, but they are incredibly difficult to work with ( and would not even send me a statement for a month, where they were sure to tack on extra " late fees '' in this month- so instead of cooperation, I received a surprise UCC lien and fees billed to me for its filing. These tactics are predatory, and not even legal. As a mater of fact, they filed this DURING the time frame they were refusing to send me a statement. As the dates in my emails show, I have been in communication many times -- and during this they were " waiting '' to send me the statement, and filed the unlawful UCC lien. This shows JUST how deceptive they are.

I am demanding that : Fundo immediately release the UCC-1 lien filed against me Fundo provide a transparent, safe way to submit manual payments.

Fundo stop abusive fee stacking.

I am also filing complaints with the Tennessee Attorney General, FTC, and XXXX  and will take this a step further if the unlawful lien is not released. Thank you for investigating this.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
