Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against Bank of America for Unjustified Funds Hold To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Bank of America regarding an unjustified hold placed on a check I deposited in my business account. 

On XX/XX/year>, I deposited a check for {$28000.00} issued by XXXX, the largest residential builder in the United States. The check was directly cut by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX. Both XXXX and I bank with Bank of America, making this transaction straightforward and inherently low-risk. Despite this, the bank placed a hold on the check, claiming that they " have reason to suspect the check will be returned. '' I firmly believe this claim is baseless for the following reasons : XXXX is a highly reputable company with no history of issuing invalid checks. 

XXXX XXXX and I are customers of Bank of America XXXX which should streamline the verification process and eliminate any doubt. 
3.There has been no communication or evidence provided by the bank to substantiate their suspicion. 

I contacted Bank of America by phone on XX/XX/year>, to address the issue and was told that there is nothing I can do. This action has caused unnecessary delays and inconvenience for my business operations. Additionally, it is directly resulting in ongoing monetary damage, including potential late fees, missed payments, and other financial consequences. These damages remain unresolved as the issue is ongoing. 

I believe the bank 's actions reflect an unethical practice of withholding funds without valid justification. 

In addition to requesting a prompt investigation into this matter and the immediate release of the funds, I am seeking compensation for any monetary damages caused by this situation. These damages were entirely avoidable had the bank acted responsibly and in good faith. 

I request that Bank of America provide a detailed explanation for their actions, release the funds without further delay, and reimburse me for the losses incurred due to this issue. I also urge the XXXX XXXX XXXX to take necessary action to ensure that Bank of America adheres to fair and transparent banking practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Email : XXXX Phone : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
In reviewing my account I noticed that the information that is listed on my credit report is extremely inaccurate in various fields. While I understand mistakes can happen unfortunately when it comes to financial data and credit reporting this is one industry where mistakes can cost the bearer extreme harm and distress. I request that the correct information be updated in the following fields : Balance, Past Due Amount, Last Reported Date, Date Last Active, Date of Last Payment.

Additionally there are several late payment indicators listed, which make no sense as to the best of my knowledge all payments have been submitted on time however seeing as I haven't been receiving my statements its nearly impossible for me to know the accuracy of the payments received. The following reporting periods need to be corrected as paid on time and the late payment indicators removed : XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. It merits mentioning again, although I understand mistakes can happen the fact remains this misreporting of information to my credit report has caused me serious harm and also constitutes a violation of federal law, specifically 15 USC 1666b ( a ). I have not received a statement to my address on file as is a requirement under the law and that means the furnisher legally can not report my account late for any reason. Unless they are able to provide documented proof that the statements were mailed to me within the specified time frame under the statue any late payment indicators must be corrected. 

This dispute will serve as notice of the inaccurate information that is on my credit report for this account as well as the opportunity for your company to correct them without any additional action/enforcement on my behalf. The account information on the account in question is listed below : XXXX XXXX : Account # XXXX I have attached a copy of my ID and billing statement for verification purposes.

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.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Saw XXXX pending transactions for XXXX XXXX using my PayPal debit card that I did not make. I called PayPal to report this. Representative said it would take an hour to resolve. I called back XXXX XXXX hours later after seeing nothing had been done and the charges were still pending. That person said it would take XXXX hours to resolve. At XXXX XXXX  PST on XX/XX/XXXX PayPal paid XXXX XXXX. I filed fraud on the XXXX charges online at that time. On XX/XX/XXXX PayPal ruled that the charges were not fraudulent because I had the money in my account to cover the XXXX plus dollars and that it appeared to be charges I would make. I called them again and said I have never purchased tickets from ticket master, and the history on the card would show I use it for commercial type purchases including XXXX, office supplies, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, shipping supplies, XXXX XXXX and shipping supplies, XXXX XXXX for shop supplies. We also get cash with the card for shop purchases. The person said it would take XXXX hours to resolve. On the XX/XX/XXXX I again called, asking for a refund of the money. They said it would take two business days and I requested a manager to call. No one called. That person had refiled the complaint. On XX/XX/XXXX they said the charges were not fraud. I called again, while waiting on the phone, the fraud department at PayPal emailed and said the charges were legitimate. On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX and filed fraud charges with them. They took the information and said someone would call or email in XXXX hours. XX/XX/XXXX hours later I called back. Someone would email me XXXX to XXXX hours later. I have called both PayPal and XXXX XXXX a couple more times and have not gotten any information or a call back. I am at wits end.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!
