Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have identified serious billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) on my credit report, including unverified late payment marks and the creditor 's failure to accurately reflect payments and credits. Despite my prior formal request for evidence substantiating these late marks, the creditor has failed to provide any legally required proof of investigation or verification. Furthermore, the creditor did not issue a proper billing statement at least 21 days before the due date, as mandated by law, rendering any late payment reporting invalid. This blatant disregard for accurate reporting is unacceptable. I demand that these inaccuracies be immediately corrected by updating the items to 'Paid as Agreed ' or removing them entirely from my credit report.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I started a mobile check deposit from my external personal checking account to my Bank of America business checking account. Preliminary information indicated a 7 day hold on the mobile deposit, so I refused to complete the transaction. 
Instead, I traveled to a local BoA branch to make a counter deposit. I asked about the hold time, verified that in-person deposit holds were handled differently from mobile deposits, and informed the agent that I would not complete the in-person check deposit if there would be a 7 day hold. I explained that I had alternatives such as traveling to my external bank to withdraw cash or request a cashier 's check. After verifying, the BoA agent assured me that the check funds would be available same day. Based on that information, I agreed to deposit the check. 
1 hour later, I wrote a BoA check to fund my brokerage account and deposited the BoA check via mobile banking.

2 hours after making the in-person deposit, BoA informed me by email that my check funds were being held for 7 days. 
The BoA agent deliberately provided misleading information to ensure I completed the check deposit at BoA. BoA 's actions were deceptive and have caused financial harm, resulting in returned funds and overdraft fees.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

I continuously called every few weeks and most recently spoke to a rep a week before the deadline I was assured that the Processing was backlogged but that everything would continue soon. On XX/XX/XXXX, I receive notification that I was back on the standard plan in the amount of. {$1000.00} per month the income for my tax year ending XXXX was the same as the previous year and I still do not understand what took them so long to process an application that was submitted for recertification in a timely manner. In addition, I noticed that there has been a tremendous increase in the amount of interest accumulated on the account. Some representatives at Aidvantage seem to have a grasp of the situation but keep recommending that I call back and ask for a deferment closer to the time. My payment is due. Im not looking for loan forgiveness. I just want them to revert back to what was approved last year and acknowledged the fact that they have not processed my recertification and proof of income on time. I have proof that they received it back in XXXX from a letter I received from them and also from a screenshot I took of my activity log on their site.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the inaccurate inclusion of a bankruptcy on my credit report. I have official documentation from the court that clearly states this bankruptcy should not have been reported to your agency. Despite this confirmation, the bankruptcy remains on my credit file, which is both misleading and unjust. The presence of this incorrect information has the potential to negatively impact my financial standing, and it is crucial that this matter be addressed immediately. 

Additionally, I am deeply concerned about the involvement of an unauthorized third party in this situation. This raises serious questions about the integrity and accuracy of the reporting process, making it even more critical that this issue is investigated and resolved without delay. The presence of unauthorized involvement only amplifies my concerns regarding the security and reliability of my credit file.
