Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Please note that I've been trying to resolve this since XX/XX/XXXX. I became a victim of identity fraud and healthcare fraud this year. I've submitted so many complaints to all necessary agencies. I've written to Bank of America several times-never received a reply from my XX/XX/XXXX letter or from my XX/XX/XXXX letter which was sent via XXXX priority mail with tracking-zero communication. I sent another letter via XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and it was delivered XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX left at dock and received by XXXX XXXX I gave them until tomorrow to respond and as of today I haven't received any communication. Bank of America did an illegal hard inquiry on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX without my knowledge or permission and someone submitted a credit application as well. They must remove the inquiry from my report however they will not because they are the scammers. The rest is history and is an ongoing, difficult and relentless task in trying to resolve this once and for all. The last time I did this here against Bank of America and XXXX XXXX both banks chose not to have their responses posted on this site. It is due time to post all of it, shame them as they deserve to be shamed. Someone has to do something about this. I can't call as my calls are probably being rerouted to their scammers and I will not answer if they call me, and I made this clear in my most recent letter as I do not trust them. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX  XXXX XXXX, Account number XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XXXX, {$25000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, {$16000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, {$12000.00} I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate information reported by your company to the consumer reporting agencies. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested verification of a debt and its accuracy. By the date of XX/XX/XXXX, your company verified it. I believe this information is incorrect and has negatively impacted my credit report, affecting my character, reputation, and livelihood. 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, as a furnisher of information, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of information provided to consumer reporting agencies. The reported charge-off, according to IRS guidelines , is considered income, not a debt, and should not appear on a consumer report. 

The IRS defines a charge-off as income, which is not to be reported on credit reports. Therefore, the current reporting is inaccurate. Furthermore, the IRS requires a 1099-C form for cancelled debts over {$600.00}, which I have not received. 

By law, you can not furnish information you know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. I demand that you cease reporting this inaccurate information immediately and remove it from my credit report. 

Please consider this letter as formal notice of the inaccuracies, and I request that you address and rectify this matter promptly. You have 10 calendar days to remove this entry from my credit report. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have called multiple times because I can not temporarily lift my freeze from the website. On this most recent call with them they said there was a file error on their end and said it was " too complicated to explain ''. The person proceeded to tell me it was fixed and try again, which lead to an error page saying the credit freeze is temporarily unavailable. It was a different screen then before, but the same message. They were unable to resolve the issue and it is being escalated internally.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Improper filing of 1099-c form- I am writing to address the lack of response to my previous notice regarding the request for a copy of the 1099-C filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX failure to provide a response leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with FEDERAL law by not filing a 1099-C as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will report XXXX XXXX XXXX to the IRS for potential tax fraud using Form 3949-A if prompt action is not taken. 

Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The accounts in question is detailed as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  As per IRS regulations XXXX a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS. 

It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. 

Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. 

It is evident from my previous communication and this notice that there is reasonable cause to believe the information provided is inaccurate. Therefore, it is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies. 

Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding the Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer.

I am currently in the process of securing housing, and the inaccurate information on my credit report is hindering my progress. I urge you to act swiftly and cease reporting this item to avoid further complications.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other service problem — 
Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been using a company called Wise to send wire transfers to a construction company that is building a house for me. The most recent transfer was rejected by the recipients bank and returned to Wise. That money ( its nearly $ XXXX ) has now been stuck in Wises system for over a week which has created delays for my project and is costing me thousands of dollars. 

The customer service system that Wise has developed should be illegal. Whether you chat, call or email them all you get is front line customer service folks that have almost no agency to help with a problem like mine. They also have no ability to contact the team internally who can help. All they can do is email their colleagues and flag the issue. This means that we as consumers have no way to get in touch with the people at Wise with the ability to actually fix problems. 

Moreover, even this actually important XXXX XXXX is also unable to contact consumers via the phone. This means that you have to wait for them to email you but when that email arrives, it comes from a no reply address which means that unless your problem is resolved you need to begin the entire process again starting from square XXXX. 

Setting up a doom loop of a system like this should be illegal. It is scary to have a company withhold a significant amount of money from you due to an administrative error. And it is really frustrating to be powerless to fix it and at the mercy of similarly powerless customer service people. 

This is a serious problem and I hope the CFPB looks into it and does something about it.
