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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX FIN - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, "

Complaint narrative:
I had an XXXX stolen which contained login information and the app to my bank account. I filed a claim and it was denied. Shortly after the claim being denied, my account was shut closed due to a member agreement. 

I have reached out to Sofi multiple times asking for information regarding the fraud dispute, have provided them with the police report, have asked multiple times why my account was closed and have received one correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX saying that my account was being investigated. 

No response since then, no correspondence. This is absolutely ridiculous customer service, I call in and get transferred back and forth between different departments.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the inconsistent documentation and communication I have encountered while attempting to resolve issues with my Bank of America account.

Since discovering unauthorized transactions on my account, I have experienced significant challenges due to the inconsistent and often contradictory information provided by various representatives. This inconsistency has severely hindered my ability to resolve the issue and restore my financial stability.

My primary concerns include : 1. **Contradictory Information** : I have received conflicting explanations about the status of my account, the progress of the investigation, and the steps required to resolve the matter. This has created confusion and delayed resolution.

2. **Incomplete Documentation** : On multiple occasions, I have been asked to submit documents that I have already provided. Additionally, I have received documents that lack critical information, making it difficult to understand and address the issues effectively. 

3. **Lack of Follow-Up** : Despite being assured that I would receive updates on the progress of the investigation, I have often been left without any communication for extended periods. This lack of follow-up has exacerbated my XXXX and frustration.

4. **Inconsistent Communication Channels** : I have been directed to contact different departments and individuals, each providing different instructions and requirements. This lack of a clear and consistent communication channel has made it nearly impossible to achieve a timely resolution. 

The cumulative effect of these issues has caused me significant distress and has eroded my confidence in Bank of America 's ability to manage my account securely and effectively. It is essential that these communication and documentation issues be addressed promptly to ensure a smooth and efficient resolution process. 

I request the following actions to rectify the situation : 1. Assign a dedicated case manager who will serve as my single point of contact throughout the resolution process.

2. Provide a clear and comprehensive list of required documentation and steps needed to resolve the unauthorized transactions.

3. Ensure timely and consistent communication, with regular updates on the progress of the investigation.

4. Review and improve internal processes to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.

I am attaching copies of the correspondence and documents I have submitted thus far. Please review these materials and provide a detailed response outlining the next steps.
