Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is currently reporting multiple hard inquiries on my credit report dated XX/XX/year>, from the following entities : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , and XXXX XXXX. I dispute these inquiries as either unauthorized, excessive, or made without my direct, informed consent. I did not knowingly apply for credit with each of these entities on that date, nor was I made aware that my personal information would be distributed to multiple lenders or third parties for the purpose of initiating a credit pull. 

This cluster of auto-related credit inquiries is highly concerning and suggests that my information may have been submitted through a dealer network or aggregator, possibly resulting in shotgunned applications that I never explicitly approved. This practice not only misrepresents my credit-seeking behavior but also causes unnecessary and damaging dings to my credit score. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ) prohibits the furnishing or use of a consumer report unless it is for a purpose authorized by the consumer. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( a ), Equifax has a duty to ensure that only entities with a valid permissible purpose have access to my consumer file.

To date, I have not received any documentation from Equifax or the listed parties establishing a clear, traceable record of my authorization for each of these inquiries. Without such proof, their inclusion on my credit file constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA and unjustly damages my credit profile. The appearance of multiple inquiries in a short time window also misleads future lenders into assuming that I am aggressively shopping for credit, which is simply not true.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I walked into Bank of America XXXX ( CA ) branch. I am trustee of my mothers trust. She resigned as trustee. I have been a BofA customer since XXXX. I brought in a properly prepared Certification of Trust with an abstract of the trust attached. The Certification states that a copy shall be treated as an original. The Certification also states that the attached copy of the trust has been redacted. 
XXXX and the bank manager both asked for the complete and original trust, to which they are not entitled. 
They next demanded to see proof that my mother, the settlor of the trust, was incapacitated. I explained to them that she had resigned as trustee ( provided them a copy of the Resignation of Trustee ), that I am the trustee now, and whether she was on vacation or incapacitated, didnt make any difference. She has handed trustee duties over to me. They refused to open the account without proof of my mothers medical condition and the original, full trust - both improper.

State: TX

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I returned an XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$2800.00} ) that I returned, via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, This item was purchased, using my Apple credit card from Goldman Sachs. I received an eMail from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, confirming they had received the item, which proves I no longer had this item in my possession. I did realize that XXXX would take some time to process the return, once received and the return would probably not credit my account until after XX/XX/XXXX, the day Goldman Sachs adds interest on any purchases the following month. Knowing this, I called Goldman Sachs and let them know my situation and how I had returned the item and that XXXX was still processing the return. I was told by a Goldman Sachs representative, that I could call back later and have the interest removed, once the item was processed. When the item was finally processed and credit to my Apple Card, I called in, like suggested and requested that the interest of {$67.00}, be removed, since I did not have the item in my possession, when the interest was applied. After explaining my issue to the Goldman Sachs representative, they said they would escalate my issue to a review board to consider removing the interest. Some time after, I received a message from Goldman Sachs stating that they would not remove the interest, even though one of their representatives in a prior conversation, told me they would remove the interest, when they received XXXXXXXX XXXX  notification that the item was clear to credit my account. I called back in to Goldman Sachs again and stated my issue and another rep said they would give details of my issue to a higher up and that I would receive a decision, shorty and again I was denied the refund of the interest of {$67.00}. Since then, I have been receiving phone calls from Goldman Sachs reps, wanting me to pay the interest, which in return, I explain my situation again and stated that I refuse to pay the interest that was applied unfairly. I have since, closed the account and cut up the physical card, hence I am not sure what the CC # was but I can try to find it later, if needed.
