Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have fallen victim to a scam of an online gaming/casino site. My understanding as to the rights I have as a consumer is that I have the ability to dispute charges that were made from a company that provided products that were not provided as advertised. I tried to dispute the charges in the amount of {$1000.00}, but am unable to get my money back due to Bank of America not doing their due diligence initiating an adequate investigation. I have written letters to and tried to dispute these charges with Bank of America, explaining what happened. I have not yet paid any of the charges due to me still disputing the charges with them. Bank of America has told me they are reporting it to the credit reporting bureaus and it will/already has hurt my credit score. I am not satisfied with the results of the disputes made with Bank of America. I don't feel like they made a valid effort on their part to assist me as a customer and consumer. I did not see any evidence of any real effort on their part to determine whether or not XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was in fact an illegal scam site, designed to lure people like me and steal their money. There was no effort to figure out what exactly happened to me either, for example, the merchant locked my account and stole the money. In my own investigation, I have learned there are multiple lawsuits against XXXX for operating an illegal gaming site and for fraud. Bank of America has not conducted any sort of investigation into the veracity of these complaints, which it should have done. Attached here are XXXX pieces of evidence proving that XXXX XXXX is a scam website, stealing victim 's money and not providing what is advertised. Exhibit A : XXXX is forced to cease operation in Delaware. Exhibit B : XXXX faces class-action lawsuit in Georgia. Exhibit C : AGA and State regulators increase pressure to shut down XXXX. I also deserve my money back because of Fair Credit and Billing Act ( FCBA ) and Federal Law ( 15 USC 1666i ). See attached law.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX Credit Trade Line To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint about inaccuracies on my credit reports from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX concerning a trade line for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXccount. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I discovered several discrepancies that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific issues are outlined below : 1. Discrepancy in Account Open Date : XXXX reports the account open date as XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax and XXXX report it as XX/XX/XXXXXXXX This inconsistency shows a failure to maintain accurate reporting across all credit bureaus, as required by the FCRA. 
2. Discrepancy in Credit Limit : Equifax reports a credit limit of {$0.00}, whereas XXXX and XXXX both report a credit limit of {$1000.00}. This inconsistency is another violation of the FCRA 's requirement for accurate reporting. 
As stated in 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( b ) and Public Law 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the highest possible accuracy in the information they provide. Additionally, 15 USC 1681n sets a {$500.00} fine for each violation by any agency that willfully fails to comply with these accuracy requirements. Each credit bureau has a legal obligation, as part of their agreements with consumers, to comply with these laws. 
By failing to maintain consistent and accurate information, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are all in violation of the FCRA. This amounts to willful noncompliance, as defined under 15 USC 1681o, which states that any agency that is negligent in its duty to maintain accurate credit information is liable for damages. Additionally, 15 USC 1681s-2 specifies the obligations of information furnishers to ensure that the data reported to credit bureaus is accurate, which has clearly not been fulfilled in this case. 
Furthermore, the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552 ( a ) ( e ) ( iii ) ) requires that consumer reporting agencies comply with all U.S. laws related to consumer credit information. The discrepancies highlighted above represent clear violations of both the FCRA and the Privacy Act of 1974.

Requested Actions : 1. Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Trade Line : I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX trade line from my credit reports with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. 
2. Imposition of Fines for Violations : I request the enforcement of fines of no less than {$500.00} USD for each violation, totaling {$1000.00} USD for the two reported discrepancies.

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a written response within 30 days, detailing the actions taken to address these inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
