Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting inaccurate and incomplete information regarding several XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. The Department of EducationXXXX XXXX were closed and transferred in XX/XX/XXXX, yet they lack essential details such as payment history, last payment received, and specific servicer information. 

These accounts were reported with only basic details ( open date, original balance, and account type ), but crucial information is missing. Despite my previous dispute with the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX, they were marked as verified without providing the missing details necessary for complete reporting. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit information should be accurate, complete, and verifiable. I am requesting that these accounts be properly verified with all necessary information or removed from my credit report if verification can not be provided. The credit bureaus should have removed these accounts if they could not verify them fully. 

I am seeking assistance from the CFPB to ensure that the credit reporting agencies and the original creditor comply with FCRA regulations by either providing complete information or removing the accounts entirely. ''

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Credit Report Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : -- - Late Payments : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history. 

Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. 
2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

3. Potential Violation of Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts. 
4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 
Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.

Requested Resolution : I request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report. I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of 100 % on-time payments. 
I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with convenience check
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
For many years Bank of America visa has been sending convenience checks to my mailbox. I never use them. I have no need to use them and they go straight in the shredder. On XX/XX/XXXX I flew to XXXX  on holiday and on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX of those checks was written for {$500.00}, and definitely not by me. The most likely explanation is that my mail carrier delivered the latest tranche of these XXXX checks into someone else 's box and they spent one. This is concerning on many levels. I fail to see how such a check could be spent by anyone, anywhere, without identification, and given that I've not misplaced any identification it would've been impossible for any fraudster to present it. 

I filed a dispute which in and of itself took way longer than it should, but it finally was accepted, and the charge and fee was removed from my account. A couple days ago the {$500.00} charge was put back on my account. I also requested a copy of that written convenience check and understand to whom it was written. That has not been provided to me. 

This is the second time in two months that I've had to deal with astonishingly bad customer service from a bank I've been associated with for 34 years. It's time to find a new bank.
