Consumer complaint received 2024-03-08 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against BMO Bank N.A. for what I believe to be fraudulent and deceptive billing practices regarding my Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) account. 

Details of the Complaint : Incorrect Billing Statement : On XX/XX/year>, I received a billing statement for my HELOC with a billing cycle closing date of XX/XX/year> and a payment due date of XX/XX/year>. This due date makes it logistically impossible to meet the payment deadline as it allows for less than a 24-hour payment window. 

Acknowledgment of Error without Rectification : Upon contacting the bank through the provided phone number ( XXXX ), a representative named XXXX confirmed that the billing statement was indeed incorrect. Despite acknowledging the error, he refused to provide written confirmation or corrective notice specifying the actual due date, which he verbally stated to be XX/XX/year>. 

Recurrent Issue : XXXX admitted that such occurrences happen " sometimes, '' suggesting a pattern of erroneous billing that goes uncorrected by the institution. 

Allegations : Based on the facts presented : The bank has engaged in a pattern of distributing incorrect billing statements, which can mislead consumers and potentially cause financial harm through missed payments or late fees. 
The refusal to provide written confirmation of the correct due date, even when acknowledging an error, demonstrates a lack of transparency and an impediment to consumers ' ability to maintain accurate financial records. 
This pattern of behavior may qualify as a deceptive act or practice that could deceive consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances, in violation of the FTC Act.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Opened a Bank of America business checking account in XXXX XXXX Tried to open account online via their promotional website but had to talk with their agents over the phone as well. 
After the terms for the promotion fulfilled the bank failed to honor their advertised promotion that is still available on their website. After repeatedly being dismissed and transferred over to various departments when calling them to resolve the matter I just had enough of frustration. Did not get any positive confirmation for resolution other than a vague we try to look into it. 
Their sales agents were not able to find the promotional website and asked me to provide this. Laughable situation with Bank of America. And it was not the first time. Good luck to every small business getting any support from this bank. Terrible experience to say the least. 
Heres the promotional websites link XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.bankofamerica.com/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the repeated failure to remove charge-off accounts from my credit report, despite multiple attempts to rectify this issue. 

It has come to my attention that despite providing evidence of fraudulent activity and sending an FTC fraud report as mandated by section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the following charge-off accounts have not been removed from my credit report : These accounts were opened without my consent or knowledge, and they are clearly the result of identity theft. As such, it is imperative that they are promptly removed from my credit report to prevent any further damage to my creditworthiness. 

I have made numerous attempts to resolve this matter through proper channels, yet the accounts remain on my credit report, inaccurately reflecting upon my credit history. This persistent failure to address the issue not only violates my rights under the FCRA but also undermines my ability to secure credit and financial opportunities. 

Therefore, I am formally demanding the immediate removal of the aforementioned charge-off accounts from my credit report. If you maintain that these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, I require copies of any documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature. However, I can assure you that no such documentation exists, as these accounts are a result of identity theft. 

Please be advised that if the requested action is not taken within four business days, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter and seek legal recourse. I am committed to resolving this issue in a fair and lawful manner, but I can not tolerate continued negligence and non-compliance with the law. With this, I am asking for your assisstance to remove these accounts in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$4900.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$640.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$4800.00}.

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion, I am writing to dispute late payments that are currently being reported on my credit report. Specifically, I am disputing late payments that were reported on account # XXXX for the months of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 
And account # XXXX months of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that consumers be provided a 30-day period after the payment due date before an account can be reported as late. However, I was never provided the mandatory 30 or 60-day late notification period before these late payments were reported. This is also very inaccurate compared to my XXXX report which only has XXXX late payments inaccurately reporting and both reporting agencies get the same data so how do I have 7 more late payments on TransUnion? 

Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA states that furnishers may not report information about a late payment until 30 days after the payment due date. By reporting this late payment without first providing the required 30 or 60-day late period, XXXX and TransUnion violated federal law. 

Pursuant to the FCRA, I am requesting that you remove the disputed late payments on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. I am also requesting that you provide me with copies of any correspondence or records that show I was properly notified that the payment was past due, as required by law, before reporting it late. 

Please investigate these disputed late payments and correct any inaccurate or incomplete information on my report. I can be reached at XXXX and or XXXX if additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
