Consumer complaint received 2025-06-18 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Bank of America to report three unauthorized and fraudulent transactions that I discovered upon reviewing my account history from XXXX. These transactions were initiated by a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX, a merchant I have no affiliation with and no knowledge of. 

As someone with multiple checking accounts, I did not notice these transactions immediately. Upon reviewing my statements, I found that the following debits were made without my authorization : XX/XX/XXXX : {$10000.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$10000.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$5000.00} All three transactions were categorized under shopping, entertainment, and electronicsnone of which are purchases I made, nor do I recognize the merchant. 

I immediately reported this to a Bank of America representative and explained that I had never authorized these payments, nor did I recognize the company involved. I emphasized that this was clearly fraud, and I was highly concerned that such a significant amount could be withdrawn from my account without proper verification or alert. 

After filing the claim, Bank of America issued provisional credits for the full amount : {$20000.00} credited on XX/XX/XXXX {$5000.00} credited on XX/XX/XXXX However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating that my claim had been denied. No detailed explanation or findings from their investigation were provided. Despite multiple follow-ups, I have not been given clarity on how the decision was made or what evidence was used. I was not even informed whether the bank had contacted the merchant or verified the legitimacy of the account activity. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Bank of America reversed all previously issued credits, which has now left my account with a negative balance of {$13000.00}. This situation has created severe financial hardship, as several of my automatic payments have since bounced, impacting my credit, financial obligations, and personal well-being.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : XXXXXXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX TransUnion XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
