RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation.

Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I paid off a home equity loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/year> in the amount of {$32000.00} after selling the property that the loan was used to finance. The balance shown on the XXXX website was what I paid and the balance immediately went to XXXX. 

My XXXX score was approx XXXX at the time of the payoff In early XXXX I received notices from several credit monitoring services that my XXXX score had decreased - I investigated by looking at my credit report at Experian and saw that XXXX had reported me as 30 days past due for {$120.00} on a mortgage. I immediately contacted the XXXX by phone and spoke to a representative who shared that I had NO past due balances on anything ( they also have my first mortgage ). 

I immediately filed a dispute with Experian explaining that NO ONE from the XXXX had contacted me about this - no emails, no phone calls - nothing. I also sent a secure message to the XXXX via the XXXX website on/around XX/XX/year> and demanded a correction. 

At the time that I learned of this matter, I had more than $ XXXX of cash in the XXXX and would NEVER be stupid enough to risk a XXXX XXXX score for {$120.00}. 

I submitted the request to correct to the XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and as of the date of this writing I have received no response. On yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from the Collections Department requesting payment of the {$120.00} and I shared the story with the agent. I am awaiting a call from a manager of the Collections Department. 

I have been a loyal customer of this XXXX for 23 years, but this is the final straw. I will pay the {$120.00} but I want my credit repaired- if the XXXX had contacted me, I would have paid instantly, not days later, but instantly, but the fact that no one reached out other than to wreck my credit score is unacceptable. I will be moving my funds to one of my other financial institutions immediately.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX XXXX assigned to handle the complaints adopted the following tactics : She ignores any fact/evidence she chooses entirely, as if it was not presented to her at all, and when pointed out ( repeatedly ) to address it she states that she already saw it and ignored it, and requests new information to ignore. This obviously leads to a convenient one sided outcome every time. 

This approach is unacceptable. This is not a Wild West but a regulated industry, and such abusive behavior is not allowed. The regulations must be followed, the Dodd - Frank Act in particular.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report. 

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

Complaint narrative:
SoFi restricted my accounts with them three weeks ago. They said they were performing an investigation but gave me no information as to why or how long it would. They stated someone from the fraud department would be in contact but I still have had no contact and no information. 

Firstly it was my checking and savings account, they processed to close my account I have around {$55000.00} on my brokerage account. Since SoFi had already closed my saving and checking I have no other way to withdraw from my investments account. 
No matter what phone number I call or who I speak to I get no information. This is ridiculous and frustrating. 

They have refused to allow me withdraw with no Timeframe as to when I can withdraw

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, between XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX California time, I deposited {$500.00} cash into my Bank of America debit account at the branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. I used an ATM inside the branch, not one outside, and the ATM ID is XXXX. After returning home, I attempted to transfer the {$500.00} to my XXXX investment account, but the transfer failed multiple times. After XXXXXXXX XXXX that day, I checked my account and realized that the deposit was not reflected in my Bank of America account. 

The next day, I visited the same branch and submitted a claim. The bank provided a temporary credit of {$500.00}, and I believed the issue would be resolved, especially since Bank of America experienced a nationwide technical outage on that day. 

However, several weeks later, on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX AM, I received a message from the Bank of America message center stating that they could not find a record of my {$500.00} deposit and that the temporary credit would be withdrawn. The following morning, I visited the branch again, but the staff directed me to call a support line. I waited 20 minutes to speak with a representative and explained everything, only to be told that I would need to call someone else and that they could transfer me. I waited another 20 minutes for assistance, but no one answered, and due to other commitments that day, I could not continue to wait. 

After these unresolved attempts, I decided to submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for assistance.
