Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: ND

Complaint narrative:
I had a credit card account with BMO Bank , N.A . ( " BMO ) that was originally issued by Bank of the West prior to acquisition by BMO. I used the account for several years and was never delinquent. On XX/XX/year>, BMO reported the account closed to credit bureaus without giving me any notice. I later received a letter dated XX/XX/year> stating the account was closed. No particular reason was given, other than " [ BMO ] conducts regular reviews of our customer accounts. One reason we do this is to identify relationships that may not fit within our requirements. '' Those requirements were not explained. It appears BMO closed the account based on a discriminatory motive that may be unlawful. If the decision was credit based, the notice I received did not meet the disclosure requirements of an " adverse action notice '' under federal law. I submit there was no good cause to close my account. I remain legally obligated to pay the remaining balance and have continued to make payments as required.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported 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.

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

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.
