Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry.

Application Documentation : Request copies of any credit applications or other documents related to the inquiry. This may include application forms, agreements, or disclosures that you would have completed or received when applying for credit. 
Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report. Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor. Internal Records : Ask the creditor to provide internal records or notes related to the inquiry, including any decision-making processes or reasons for initiating the inquiry.

Identity Verification : If identity theft is a concern, request verification measures taken by the creditor to confirm your identity before initiating the inquiry. This may include verification of personal information or identity documents provided during the application process.

Compliance Documentation : Inquire about the creditor 's compliance with relevant laws and regulations governing credit inquiries, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I deposited {$1600.00} in a mix of checks of cash through a Bank of America ATM. After I made the deposit, the funds were not available in my account. I called Bank of America 's ATM claims division to submit a claim and was told I would have the {$1600.00} credited to my account by XXXX, XXXX 2024 while they conduct their claim research. I have not received any credit in my account to date. Upon calling the claims department, and speaking to the supervisor, I was told there is nothing that can be done and I have to wait for the research to be complete. Despite having escalated this claim multiple times and told that it has been prioritized nothing has happened. I am suffering and unable to pay my bills because of a mistake on the bank 's side. There is video of me holding the cash and checks, as well as video and digital records of me depositing the amount. I am now in a position where I will be late for bill payments due to Bank of America making a mistake. 

I have been given no solutions, and the supervisor 's only advice was to wait while they investigate. No credit has been applied, no remediation, and absolutely no help. I am now in a very difficult position, which will negatively impact my credit score because of Bank of America 's mistake.

Complaint narrative:
We received your complaint. Thank you. 
We will review your complaint. Depending on what we find, we will typically : Send your complaint to the company for a response ; or Send your complaint to another state or federal agency, or help you get in touch with your state or local consumer protection office ; or Let you know if we need more information to continue our work. 
YOUR COMPLAINT Equifax : Several problems. I have tried repeatedly to register online to request a freeze, but the servers are always down -- repeatedly, and for weeks at a time. I tried to call to place a freeze, but Equifax requires a cell phone to send me a text to verify my identity before I can even speak to an agent, but I don't have a cell phone. It also over my landline asks me to verify certain loan information -- and each time it says to say or press 5 if none of the above is correct, but it never acknowledges that I press 5 and say 5. So I sent my request for a freeze through the mail at the address its website says to mail my credit freeze request to Equifax Information Services LLC : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX, having printed the form and enclosed with it a copy, front and back, of my Washington driver XXXX license and a copy of my social security card. I have not received confirmation from Equifax, and I do not see in my credit.com account that a freeze has been placed with Equifax. Without ANY difficulty, I placed freezes with XXXX and XXXX, but placing a freeze or confirming that a freeze is in place with Equifax is impossible! I can't get through online, I can't get through by phone, and I don't know if I got through by mail. Impossible! My social security is available for sale because of the XXXX XXXX XXXX breach, yet I can't freeze my credit with Equifax even though I have tried internet, phone, and U.S. Mail.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
