Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received an email notification at XXXX XX/XX/2023 about a checking account was open under my name from BOA. I tried to contact Bank of American but it is so difficult to put through until after more than 2 hours later, a checking fraud customer service helped me and told me she closed the account and asked me to file fraud alert and identity theft with bureau.

However today, I still kept on receiving email about this new account and just now, I received an email from BOA again to tell me the card was mailed to an Ohio state address. I was frustrated about how BOA take fraud activity at granted and put customer in danger to be fraud victim. 1. When such things happened, it is difficult to report this to them, not convenient to take action b
y customer from app to contact customer service 2. Did not seriously stop any process immediately for the fraud account.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. I've contacted XXXX & they told me I've never missed a payment, yet Experian refuses to remove me from being listed as late on XX/XX/19 on the account. They told me they are not required to allow me to dispute this inaccurate information any longer. I constantly have to do Experians job for them to shield my credit & prove my identity. I've sent documentation of the concerned months in question prior and they STILL refused to remove these damaging negatives from my profile.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received statements from both Discover and XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX indicating that I owed balances on credit card accounts. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent letters to the XXXX or each company requesting that they validate the alleged debts within 10 days by providing information as required by USC 1692 ( G ). After not receiving validation of the debts, I followed up with the companies. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a Notice of Fault to each company informing them that I still had not received the required items to validate a debt per USC 1692 ( G ), and asked them once again to provide the items required by the USC to validate a debt. Since I still had not received validation of the alleged debts from either company by XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted an FTC Identify Theft Report. I submitted this report since I believe that these accounts are fraudulent, and I am the victim of identify theft. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have still not received validation that these debts belong to me. I have, however, received calls, letters, and texts from both companies repeatedly demanding payment for these alleged debts. Recently, Discover sent me a letter indicating that they were preparing to file a lawsuit against me for failure to pay this alleged debt. Additionally, aside from harassment, Discover and the Credit Reporting Agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) have damaged my financial reputation by indicating that I owe these debts. With this complaint I am once again requesting that Discover provide validation that this debt belongs to me per USC 1692 ( G ). If no such validation can be provided, I demand that these accounts be removed from my credit report immediately.
