Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Check cashing service
Issue: Problem with customer service — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received a paper payroll check on XX/XX/year>. I tried to mobile deposit and they put a seven day hold on my check. It is the same account that direct deposit my payroll into my account every two weeks. Ive sat on hold for an hour with Bank of America on XXXX XXXX trying to figure out how to get the hold off of my check so that I can buy food and gas and make it to work and not starve. One Bank of America representative told me that I could take it to A financial center the next day and have it cashed, and that it would cancel out the mobile deposit. When I went to this financial center, they said that that was wrong. I sat on hold with Bank of America for another half an hour outside of their establishment to be told again that I could cash my check and it would cancel the mobile deposit. I went back into the financial center just to be told again that this was not true. That is two Bank of America employees that are lying to me. I then called Bank of America back today because it is the first day that day have been open since then. I requested that they remove the hold off of my check so that I might survive this week. Apparently there is nothing that they can do and they are going to continue to hold my money for another five days. This is unacceptable. It is the same payroll that has been given to me for the last 4 to 5 months. Every other employee on this payroll had their banks clear their checks. I am the only one sitting here suffering because there is a hold on my check.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting a 30-day late payment on my XXXX account for XX/XX/XXXX. This is inaccurate and misleading and should be corrected to Pays as agreed. 

The account was opened in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and has no history of missed payments before or after that date. As of now, Equifaxs own report shows a {$0.00} past due balance, and the payment status is listed as Pays account as agreed. If there was a true delinquency, there would be a past due amount and a documented pattern of late paymentswhich there is not. 

This violates my rights under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits the reporting of information known or reasonably believed to be inaccurate. It also fails to meet the maximum possible accuracy standard under FCRA 607 ( b ). You cant report an account as current and paid as agreed while also marking it 30 days late for the same month.

I previously disputed this with the credit bureau and no valid documentation has been provided to verify the late payment. The tradeline should be corrected immediately to reflect an accurate history and show XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  as Pays as agreed, consistent with the rest of the timeline. 

This false entry is damaging my credit profile, and I am requesting a full reinvestigation and correction in compliance with the FCRA.
