Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this account multiple times over the past several years, and you continue to be reported it accurate information. Its actually inaccurately in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). A charge-off indicates the creditor has written off the debt and should have issued a 1099-C form to both me and the IRS. If so, that would be income which can not be reported on a consumers credit report. To date, I have not received a 1099-C, which raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of this reporting. However, a 1099C was filed and is being reported as income with the IRS. Therefore, the account needs to be deleted immediately or you are in violation of the FRCA.

If Bank of America did charge off the account, then the forgiven amount should have been reported as income with the IRS, not the credit bureau. If they did not charge off the debt, then the account status should reflect a different classification. Either way, the current reporting is factually inaccurate, misleading, and damaging. 

Under the FCRA specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681s-2 ( b ) you are obligated to ensure that all data reported is accurate and complete. Continuing to report this account in its current form, after repeated disputes and no proper verification, is not only a breach of federal law but also has caused ongoing harm to my credit and financial opportunities. 

I will also be filing a formal complaint with the my State Attorney General, the IRS and SEC for securities fraud. I have proof from an audit I had completed on this account that clearly shows BOA has fractionalized this account and made millions which is illegal. If the account is not properly investigated and removed within the 30-day timeframe allowed under the FCRA, I will pursue legal action to enforce my rights by taking action in civil court for damages, legal fees, and any relief available under federal law. 

I expect this matter to be taken seriously and resolved immediately. Attached are copies of my identification and any necessary documentation to aid in your investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I have identified serious billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) on my credit report, including unverified late payment marks and the creditor 's failure to accurately reflect payments and credits. Despite my prior formal request for evidence substantiating these late marks, the creditor has failed to provide any legally required proof of investigation or verification. Furthermore, the creditor did not issue a proper billing statement at least XXXX  days before the due date, as mandated by law, rendering any late payment reporting invalid. This blatant disregard for accurate reporting is unacceptable. I demand that these inaccuracies be immediately corrected by updating the items to 'Paid as Agreed ' or removing them entirely from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
