Complaint narrative:
For approximately the last 3-5 years I have been repeatedly forced by all 3 credit bureaus to continuously file disputes against the same unauthorized XXXX account that was created fraudulently without my knowledge or permission. 
The unauthorized account has been removed multiple times and keeps being re-added to my personal credit causing my score to decrease rapidly literally Ill reach XXXX & boom now I have to repeat the same dispute they just keep switching companies and then attempt to place it back on my credit report. This is a problem and I am fed up with this situation. I dont even trust them anymore my credit stays on freeze but somehow they still manage to damage my credit score and reputation. I believe my rights are being violated and my credit score has failed to be protected from fraudulent claims by the credit bureau the same accounts that were disputed and deleted multiple times should have been enough of a red flag for the credit bureau to take notice and take action against them but instead they are working together and its obvious via illegal actions being taken/made against me. 
This screams harassment and outright obstruction my next step is civil suit for damages caused by this unfairness created by this scam being ran on my credit report no wet ink documents were found nor will be as I have already explained that there was accounts made fraudulent after losing my wallet and having vehicles broken into all necessary information was provided on my end

Complaint narrative:
This represents my 2nd communication via CFPB in which I am addressing the matter of inaccurate and misleading data present within my credit report. As previously communicated in my dispute dated XX/XX/2023, I stressed the negative consequences of having an erroneous credit profile, which has resulted in repeated rejections from potential employers during my job applications. The current circumstances have left me deeply concerned, as securing employment promptly is of utmost importance to prevent undue hardships for my family. What is particularly frustrating is that your inaccurate credit reporting not only impacts my financial standing but also severely diminishes my overall quality of life.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX checking accounts with Regions Bank. My main account into which my direct deposit was paid became overdrawn because i went on unpaid leave and no deposit were going into the account. Because I know there is a time limit to how long accounts can remain overdrawn before being charged off, I called the Bank to ask what my options are since they state that there are hardship options available. I called the Bank on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative told me that I had until XX/XX/XXXX to clear the overdraft or the account would charge off. She said if that happened, I would have to call Collections and make an arrangement to pay. I asked if there was any help that the Bank could offer, and she said no. I had some funds coming in from a parttime job which were about 40 % of my normal pay but it would be just enough to pay my bills. Those funds went into a different regions account that I use to pay my bills. The first of those payments came in on XX/XX/XXXX. Regions debited {$640.00} from that payment which cause a number of my bills to be returned unpaid. I was charged {$250.00} in fees for those payments which were returned. I thought it was an error and was waiting the funds to be credited back to my account. Unfortunately, I had a health emergency and couldn't follow up immediately. The second payment came in XX/XX/XXXX for {$1400.00} and Regions took almost all of it including the fees leaving me with {$2.00} in my account. When I called Regions on XXXX to ask what was happening, I was told that the collections department had taken the funds to pay down the overdraft on the other account. I said that nobody had notified me of this. I was told to call the collections department which I did. The first thing the agent told me was that I owed Regions money and they could take money from any account to pay their debt. She said I could have avoided that if I had set up a promise to pay on the original overdrawn account. I said I was never told that when I called in or I would have done that. I explained that because Regions had taken the money leaving me with only {$2.00} I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to eat. She recommended that I try a local food bank and said there was nothing they could do to return any of the money or the fees. In the meantime, I had incurred another {$250.00} in fees because all my payments had been returned because the money that was in my account to pay them had been taken out. So now both my accounts are overdrawn and I have been charged {$500.00} in fees. I called and asked if the fees could be refunded and I was refunded {$72.00} as a courtesy because the fees were correctly charged.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer with Bank of America for over 14 years and for the last 2 years the practices of this bank have been unfair! I have closed XXXX of the XXXX accounts that I had with them because of the lack of communication and poor customer service. 
I made a payment from my account and the payment went through twice causing my account to go into an overdraft. In the past ( because this has happened before ) the bank would give me a call and ask me if this was done and XXXX! Or if it was unusual activity, they would notify me. NOW they just post everything! as if to charge fees! With no notification to the consumer. I called this morning and asked all of the above and was told by XXXX rude managers this is the Banks policy and that I would receive my refund between XXXX business days! I stated they could clearly see it was an error, same transaction twice on the same day and they cleared both without notifying me of it XXXX! I was again told there was nothing more they could do. I feel Bank of America changed their practices after being sued and taking it out on loyal customers. And it's not fair! 
I am closings my remaining accounts at this bank but I am looking to have all my overdraft fees returned to me for my inconvenience and lack of customer service.
