Consumer complaint received 2025-05-28 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: FIDELITY CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Summary of Complaint : I am filing this complaint against Fidelity XXXX XXXX and my former landlord, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DBA XXXX XXXX , for unlawful debt collection practices and violation of California tenant protection laws.

Details : On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I vacated my rental unit. I did not receive my {$1700.00} security deposit back, nor was I provided a legally required itemized list of deductions within 21 days. The landlord also failed to offer a pre-move-out inspection and later presented vague and inflated charges through a third-party debt collector, including a false accusation that I demolished a wall, despite their prior written approval for drywall work.

They are attempting to collect {$3200.00}, the majority of which is based on false or exaggerated charges. While I acknowledge minor issuessuch as cat hair, moving a kitchen shelf, and placing a microwave on top of the fridgemost of the charges are misrepresented. These include : - Charging for a wall the landlord approved via text and later demolished themselves.

- Charging for a shelf that broke during an earthquake, which I reported to maintenance.

- Charging for a mirror left by a previous tenant, which I was told I could remove, and which was safely disposed of before I moved out.

- Charging for a broken window that was never repaired during my tenancy, despite over five documented maintenance requests.

- Failing to provide an itemized list of deductions within 21 days of move-out, as required by California Civil Code 1950.5 ( g ).

- Failing to offer a pre-move-out inspection as required by Civil Code 1950.5 ( f ), which denied me the legal opportunity to remedy any issues or avoid deposit deductions.

The invoice was dated XX/XX/XXXX, but was never mailed or delivered to me, and I only became aware of it months later when contacted by the debt collector. 

Fidelity XXXX XXXX began collections without validating the debt. I sent a formal dispute with documentation, but received no reply. I am concerned they may report this disputed debt to credit bureaus and harm my ability to refinance or secure housing.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this update regarding Bank of America fraud claim # XXXX, originally filed on XX/XX/XXXX, for a {$600.00} scam processed via XXXX. 

My appeal included the following evidence : A police report Remitlys written confirmation that the transaction was part of a scam Annotated screenshots showing the fraudulent deception A written statement explaining the scam On XX/XX/XXXX, the claim was denied after just XXXX days, despite BoAs own 45-day merchant review window not yet being completed. The denial letter gave a generic reason : contact the third party, despite the fact that I had already submitted XXXX confirmation and proof of fraud. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX from BoAs Regulatory Complaints Department, who confirmed in writing that she was assigned as my Resolution Specialist and that I would be contacted within XXXX hours. 

I left XXXX voicemails for XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I received no response. 
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I spoke to a BoA claims representative named XXXX, who confirmed that the claim was denied due to insufficient evidence and that she did not know why XXXX XXXX never followed up. 

BoA also approved a separate {$150.00} claim submitted for the same scam, using the same evidencewhich shows clear inconsistency in how this case was handled. 

As of now : My case has been closed again with no executive follow-up No written decision was sent for the second denial BoA has refused to explain why an assigned executive contact never responded I am requesting that the CFPB formally escalate this matter. This case involves a complete breakdown in BoAs fraud review process, violations of Reg E protections ( due to deceptive authorization ), executive non-responsiveness, and contradictory handling of two identical fraud claims.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
