Complaint narrative:
I have already submitted one or two complaints about Bank of America to you and you told me it wasn't in your jurisdiction or your agency doesent handle this problem with the Edd cards for unemployment pandemic fraud and they did me the same way almost exactly and you guys said the company would respond but never did. Furthermore I look at the news and find that your agency sued them and won for the exact thing I told you happened to me. They suspended and closed an acct that they opened for someone in my name and the card with my name on it was sent to a XXXX XXXX XXXX address and was used to withdraw over {$25000.00} over a period of months from Pandemic XX/XX/XXXX until my discovery of it in XX/XX/XXXX at which time I tried to file a claim but they froze the acct and suspended it and would no longer talk to me nor could I file a claim and soon as I did they suspended and closed the acct, I was evicted from my home and lost my car and had toi get motel rooms and I was treated so bad by b of a and had to prove who I was over and over and over. Still I lost everything and they contended that it wasn't because I could not use my debit card for months until XXXX or XXXX when they finally put the money in the acct that I never opened. I tried to tell you guys this but you told me it wasn't your area but now 6 months later I see you won a settlement and sued them for XXXX XXXX dollars wow. What changed all of a sudden and why was my complaint not met with urgency? I want to talk with someene or I will go to the President himself if I have to. He at least will be fair about this hopefully.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am formally disputing the reported late payment on my account, as I believe this information to be inaccurate. The FCRA mandates that all data furnished to credit reporting agencies must meet stringent standards of accuracy and verifiability. 

I respectfully request that the creditor or data furnisher conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide concrete evidence substantiating the claim of a late payment. In the absence of such verifiable evidence, I urge that the disputed information be promptly corrected or removed from my credit report in compliance with the provisions of the FCRA. 

This issue is of significant concern, as inaccurate reporting has far-reaching implications on creditworthiness, and I trust that due diligence will be exercised to ensure adherence to the law.
