Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, my wife and I applied for a refinance loan # XXXX with Bank of America. The rate was locked at 2.875 % for 90 days with the estimated closing costs of {$3400.00} which included a lender credit of {$210.00}. On XXXX, supervisor XXXX XXXX sent us an email stating that BOA has denied our loan due to the listing of our primary residence for sale. Supervisor XXXX XXXX never informed us that we should not list our property for sale, even though this was discussed with her. In his same email sent on XXXX, XXXX XXXX also stated " However, if you were to re-apply today I have received confirmation that we can provide you with the original pricing on the loan application that is being denied ''. On this same day of XXXX, our email was sent to XXXX XXXX stating that we would accept BOA 's offer for 'the original pricing on the loan application that is being denied '. On XXXX, we received five large envelopes from Bank of America with new loan documents on a new loan # XXXX. These documents show that XXXX XXXX prepared these document on XXXX. This new loan is no where close to being the same " original pricing on the loan application that is being denied ''. The estimated closing costs are approximately {$3000.00} higher. And, there are other numbers that are not the same. We have also recently informed supervisor XXXX XXXX of this problem, but he seems to not know what is going on with this mess. We did not want to start over and do a new loan. We do want the same figures on this second loan as the first loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal complaint against Equifax, XXXX and XXXX. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, they have completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Portfolio to verify this account that is being reported on my credit report. My first letter was dated XX/XX/2021, in which case, I requested verification in the form of any signature bearing document against this account. At the beginning of XXXX, I received a response from them touting a letter from XXXX XXXX giving them authority to collect and a couple months of standard company account statements. I then responded with a letter on the XX/XX/XXXX, asking again for some hard evidence linking me to this account. I have no knowledge and think that there was Fraud under my name. I then received another letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates saying that they weren't going to reimvestigate a dispute that had already been completed. I guess some standard account statements that can be photo chopped, clipped, and hacked is their standard for verification. I have attached my letters along with their responses.
