Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft twice over the years. I have lost every bank account I had due to this situation, and I have yet to regain access to any of my accounts that I had with XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and Bank of America before all this happened. In reference to Bank of America, I was dealing with the death of my XXXX XXXX  when I initially found out about it, so I did not dispute or address anything right away. When I did, I was denied access multiple times moving forward. I filed a total of THREE re-reviews and was still denied. Feeling like I was running out of options I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who the banks use to run customers consumer reports before allowing them to open a bank account to dispute the information the banks provided to them. In doing so I provided the police report & letter from the Federal Trade Commission and the information was removed from not only my XXXX XXXX  report but XXXX XXXX XXXX as well. To be treated like the accuser instead of the victim is sickening to me.
