Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I requested that Bank Of America refrain from processing a {$2700.00} charge for a company I was already filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau ( BBB ). Unfortunately, the BBB has been unable to resolve the issue with the company, resulting in a negative review. I am currently in the process of resolving the matter. 

However, when Bank Of America allows a charge of {$2700.00} to go through without my authorization, it overdrives my account by over {$2000.00}. I am not in agreement on how much I should pay XXXX, and this transaction was unauthorized. I have filed a dispute with Bank Of America. 

Despite my efforts, Bank Of America has been fruitless in helping me get my funds back that I did not authorize. They have also set up my account in a way that prevents overdrafts, yet somehow, I was able to overdraft over {$2000.00}. Now, I am dealing with XXXX company that is not treating me fairly in the XXXX complaint contest, and Bank Of America is making it difficult to reach an agreement in my favor. They have granted all my funds to the negative of {$2000.00} without my consent. 

I requested that they return my funds and allow me to manage my account as I see fit, without letting it overdraft.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper.i Request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My name and address are wrong and I want only one address reporting on my credit report. I have sent this request several times. I have reviewed my report recently. There were names and addresses on it that are incorrect - spelling errors or just plain wrong from my credit report, as allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i and the XXXX XXXX credit reporting guidelines. It has come to my attention that the following information on my credit report is incorrect : PLEASE FIX EVERYTHING IN MY PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT IS NOT THE FOLLOWING : 1. PLEASE UPDATE MY NAME TO : XXXX XXXX XXXX. PLEASE UPDATE MY ADDRESS TO : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas XXXX XXXX. MY ONLY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER : SS # : XXXX XXXX. MY ONLY AND CORRECT DATE OF BIRTH : Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> XXXX. MY ONLY EMPLOYER IS : I DO NOT WISH TO HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON MY REPORT. 
Moreover, I request the removal of any other personal information currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and does not pertain to me. Specifically, I demand the removal of all other addresses from my report, as they are not deliverable to me by the U.S. Post Office and are not reportable under the FCRA due to their inaccuracy.

I have attached a copy of my identification card and a recent { bank statement/utility bill/ID } for verification purposes, as required by the FCRA.

Under the FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I am entitled to a free copy of my credit report once you have completed the necessary updates. Kindly provide me with an updated credit report so that I may verify its accuracy.

As the FCRA stipulates, if you are unable to complete the investigation within the 30-day timeframe, you must remove the disputed information from my credit report. Additionally, I would like to remind you that under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), you are required to notify me of the results of the investigation within five business days after it is completed. 
Thank you for your assistance in resolving this dispute. I look forward to receiving an updated credit report from your agency.

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

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized and inaccurate collection account on my credit report from Equifax Information Service LLC associated with XXXX XXXX, account XXXX. This account does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of its origin. I formally disputed this account with the credit bureau, requesting verification and removal based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), as well as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Sections 809 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) and 807 ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ).

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, Equifax Information Service LLC has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity. This violates my rights under the FCRA, as credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. Notably, failure to comply with these requirements has been underscored by precedents such as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This inaccurate information is damaging my credit score and affecting my financial standing. I believe that the credit bureaus failure to properly investigate and respond to my dispute is a direct violation of the FCRA, causing me unnecessary harm.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the level of assistance I have received while attempting to resolve issues related to my XXXX 's card account Connected with Synchrony Bank. 

Over the past 3 Months, I have made multiple attempts to contact your customer service team by phone and online chat.

Specifically, I am seeking : A clear explanation of why my account was closed and the interest rates increased.

Assistance in arranging a feasible payment plan.

Assurance that my account will be reviewed fairly and that I will not face further penalties due to the difficulties I have encountered while trying to resolve these issues.
