Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

My name is XXXX XXXX. I live in California. I am an existing customer of PennyMacUSA Bank. I got an email from my mortgage bank PennyMac regarding to reduce my interest rate by refinancing my loan. On XX/XX/2021 i submitted my application to the loan officer and after communicating with the loan specialist and so on i was waiting to close my loan which on XX/XX/2021 i got an email from pennyMac which was telling a decision has been made on your Loan Application then i opened my portal and i saw that they denied my credit because of too many inquiries and too many accounts with balances. I called them many many times to talk to somebody to see what's going on but every time they put me on hold and disconnect my phone call or they told me somebody will call you but so far nobody called me. First of all i had lot of inquires in last 12 months but i do not owe any thing on my credit cards. Maybe couple of XXXX dollars. beside that based on the information which they got from credit Agencies why they keep me for almost three months after wasting my time and energy they should tell me in advance.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have a rental home listed on the XXXX rental site. A man by the name of XXXX XXXX inquired about renting the house but asked if the rental fee could be paid via a company check since his company was absorbing the cost of the trip. He emailed to inform me that the check issued in the amount of {$6000.00} by his company was in an amount more than rental amount and that the company made a mistake issuing all the funds to my name and did not do separate transactions for the rent and travel agent fees. He asked that I reimburse him using the XXXX feature in the Bank of America app. I deposited the check which appeared valid as when searched was a valid company on XX/XX/2021. I made sure to not transfer funds to this person until I made sure that the check cleared and I saw the increase amount of {$6000.00}. The amount in my Bank of America checking account reflected the additional $ XXXX-going from a balance of {$22000.00} to {$28000.00}. Therefore on XX/XX/2021 I transferred {$1900.00} via XXXX to the requested recipient as an initial refund. I would have never transferred money to someone if my account didnt reflect that I had their funds. There was no indication that the check hadnt cleared ( no pending/no parenthesis ). It was not until I attempted to transfer the additional amount that Bank of America alerted me to it being a scam. I explained that the check from this person had cleared and it clearly reflected this in my account. Bank of America proceeded to tell me since I have been a loyal customer, they offer the courtesy of access to funds from deposited checks prior to the check actually clearing. I have never been told this and would never have authorized for this feature. It was misleading to me and I would have never transferred money to someone if I knew this.
