Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I deposited a check for {$450.00} at a Bank of America ATM. During the transaction, the ATM shut down and rebooted, and the funds did not post to my account. I immediately reported the issue in person at the branch and via the XXXX number. Bank of America issued a provisional credit for {$450.00}. 

Nearly a month later, Bank of America reversed the provisional credit without notice, causing my account to become overdrawn by {$150.00}. When my paycheck of {$700.00} was deposited on [ date ], a portion was immediately taken to cover the negative balance, leaving me unable to pay my rent and at imminent risk of eviction. 

During my follow-ups, I discovered that the associate handling my claim filed it under the wrong check a check that had already cleared my account on XX/XX/year> instead of the XX/XX/year> deposit in question. This demonstrates clear mishandling and negligence on the banks part. 

I have spoken with multiple representatives and two supervisors over two weeks, and no resolution has been provided. Bank of Americas actions violate Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, which requires timely investigation and correction of errors.
