State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My mother passed on XX/XX/year>. When I received her death certificate I took it to my local Bank of America banking center. I am payable on death on all but one of her accounts ( and account she shared with my father from whom she is divorced ). I was informed that I needed to provide them a copy of the death certificate ( which I did ) and I would be contacted by Bank of America with further instructions. 4 weeks passed and I did not receive any contact from BOA however I did receive a letter for my father with instructions on how he could claim sole ownership of the shared account. I returned to Bank of America and was informed by the bank manager that the scan they took of the death certificate was incomplete so it was rejected. She also informed me that I need to sign a letter of instruction detailing how I wanted to funds to be transferred in person at the bank before anything could be processed. She assured me that she would personally follow up with Bank of Americas Estate unit to ensure timely processing. Another week after that and I STILL do not have the money. I tried calling the bank manager several days times with no response so I called the estate unit myself. They said they had the death certificate and the letter of instruction but that no one had called them to let them know that I had run into any issues or to expedite the claim. After over an hour on the phone he said the best they could do was process the claim in 2-5 business days. Legally the money in my mothers accounts belongs to me. Bank of America has no right to withhold that money from me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect over 20 late payment entries from XXXX, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a FERPA violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent.

I am in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and thi
s error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions.

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported. 

XXXX. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving XXXX raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, XXXX may have incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur. 

XXXX. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding an account reported by XXXX to Experian. I previously submitted a dispute to Experian and requested that the account be investigated and deleted if it could not be verified, per FCRA 1681i and Metro 2 reporting standards.

To date, no valid documentation or verification has been provided. 

Disputed Account Details : Creditor : XXXX XXXX reported : {$0.00} High balance : {$5500.00} Account status : Transferred Collection or Charge-off Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Date of last activity : XX/XX/XXXX Last verified by Experian : XX/XX/XXXX Creditor remarks : Account seriously past due date / assigned to collection Loan type : Unsecured Installment Term : 60 months Dispute Summary : This account is listed as a charge-off and transferred with a {$0.00} balance, which creates a contradiction that damages my credit standing. 

No documentation has been provided to validate the original balance of {$5500.00} or to justify the charge-off status. 

I have not received proof of any permissible purpose for the continued reporting of this account. 

No payment history, debt validation, or proper investigation outcomes have been disclosed. 

I formally requested that Experian and XXXX verify the data or delete the account, but they failed to provide sufficient supporting evidence. 

The account remains on my credit report and negatively affects my financial opportunities.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I represent the estate of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I submitted all required documentation to Citibank, including an English-translated death certificate with apostille, signed letters of instruction from both joint account holders, and valid IDs. These were delivered by XXXX ( Tracking # XXXX ) to Citibanks XXXX XXXX office on XX/XX/2025. 

On XX/XX/2025, Citibank acknowledged receipt in writing ( Ref. XXXX ) and issued a full bank statement showing a final balance of {$32000.00}. They also promised online access credentials. 

Despite this, Citibank later denied ever receiving these documents ( XX/XX/2025, XXXX. XXXX ), and has still not released the funds or provided the credentials. Other departments issued conflicting statements, including a reduced account balance ( Ref. XXXX ). 

Over XXXX months, Citibank has refused to provide a single signed letter. All communications are unsigned, impersonal, and contradictory. Attempts to resolve the matter by phone were blocked because I am not a XXXX account holder, despite being the authorized estate representative. 

The bank refuses email attachments, forcing costly international courier shipments from XXXX. This has caused administrative delays, legal exposure, and financial damage to the estate. 

I request immediate execution of the estate fund transfer ( {$32000.00} ), provision of promised credentials, and formal correction of Citibanks false statements.

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to refinance, during the application I was told I am delinquent on property tax. We went to the tax assessor and confirmed it was true. We called Freedom Mortgage ( our lender ) and they said they paid the taxes and showed the platt, it was wrong, they paid {$910.00} to someone elses property. I have asked them several times to fix this, I have missed my closing date twice now and there are late fees and interest accruing on my property tax bill. I have called and spoken to them over XXXX times trying to get a resolution. They STILL have not paid my delinquent taxes even though there is more than enough money in my escrow and the late fees continue to be added. Everytime I call I get the same response yes sir, we are sorry, it will be paid today and it has been weeks now.
