Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I reported {$8500.00} in unauthorized debit card transactions to Bank of America. My claim was initially denied on XX/XX/year>, without any supporting documentation. After I filed a CFPB complaint on XX/XX/year>, the bank reopened the case and issued a provisional credit for the full {$8500.00} while continuing its investigation. 

On XX/XX/year>, Bank of America reversed {$6500.00} of that provisional credit, claiming the transactions were authorized but failing to provide any proof or documentation of authorization. That same day, the bank closed both my personal and business accounts without justification. 

These closures appear retaliatory in nature, as they occurred directly after my CFPB complaint. They have caused financial hardship because the closures were reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX, preventing me from opening new accounts elsewhere.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the XXXX major credit bureausExperian, Equifax, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information XXXX XXXX and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself.
