Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I inherited an IRA from a parent, Merrill Lynch has made it nearly impossible to get the funds transferred into my name, there is no way they will do this without charging me to clean out the account, and I have been trying for about XXXX weeks to get the funds transferred into my other account at another financial institution. I have called Merrill about XXXX different times and each time I call they state I need to do something new and different from what they told me last time to transfer the funds, they made me fill out paperwork that they allege is not compatible and that it is the other bank 's fault. Despite being the sole beneficiary of the account, they won't move it into my name so that the funds can be transferred even though I filled out and had notarized an affidavit of domicile and all other required documentation with account information for the funds to be moved to XXXX XXXX. XXXX now states that they are using an automated system to transfer funds that they can not read whatever transfer requests, they also deny getting my requests to transfer the funds from XXXX and have chosen to ignore my paperwork submitted to Merrill. This is astonishing because there is a dedicated department for this, and it seems to be that they just do not want to transfer my funds after making me listen to their speech about leaving them there about XXXX different times. Every time I call, they have a new excuse and a new thing for me to do that they did not tell me last time in order to transfer my request. They want to charge me {$50.00} to transfer the funds to my name that are legally mine.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

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.
