I attempted on several occasions to receive my free report on XXXX website and also annual credit report and was unsuccessful. I contacted XXXX and a representative informed me that I was unable to get a credit report because they have my file mixed with someone by the name of XXXX XXXX same dob. My name doesnt even come close to that. That still does not matter how can you merge files and tell a consumer they are unable to un merge them so I dont know what is on my credit. It is the law for me to be able to receive a free credit report. I want whoever is responsible for putting these files together to be held responsible. That is unfair. I was also told by XXXX & Equifax that they are unable to provide me a credit report. I attempted calling to reset passwords and I was told in 7 days they will get back to me. It has been now XXXX  days and still no access or resolve

Product: Prepaid card — Government benefit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I'm completely appalled as to how does this poor excuse of bank such as bank of america can blatantly get away with all the fraudulent schemes they do and untrustworthy procedures and policies they don't even abide to. To this day there has been no type of resolve whatsoever with this incompetent bank who now has cut ties with the California EDD after all the fraudulent activities they helped in and condoned. How in the XXXX am I not reimbursed for stolen unemployment benefits after my replacement card gets taken from my mailbox and used without my knowledge because I was INCARCERATED for all the fraudulent transactions is mind blowing to me. After calling to file over 10 disputed transaction claims and complaints with this bank who doesn't do any type of investigation or regulation E abiding when after 10 days have passed during the fake investigation they said they did was a complete waste of time and only helped these idiots cut ties with CA XXXX now. I lost the place I lived at where any correspondence from bank of america went to and can't even file anymore claims due to those idiots failure to supposedly verify me over the phone now. I have contacted for help you CFPB and The office of the Comp Controller and have been given the runaround back n forth saying Comp controller refers the CFPB as the main regulator of bank of america. FYI I completed and sent everything that bank of america has requested of me, every single document that would have helped corroborate my claims and still nothing. You make me sick to see that your just as crooked as bank of america.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX XX/XX/year> Re : Account number : XXXX I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with your company name for many years. 
During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 
Unfortunately, 2 years ago, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss and multiple health issues. As a result some of my payments to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I paid those payments 30 days late on three occasions over a nine-month period but I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. 
I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now those 3 late marks on my credit reports are causing me tremendous stress. I am trying to move up to a better paid position at my work, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 
This is where my " Goodwill Request '' comes in. I desperately need this promotion and I would be extremely appreciative if you would please complete a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and fax it to the credit bureaus to remove those entries. 
The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed to by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I beg that you may help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you. 

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope youll approve my request. 

Best, XXXX XXXX
