Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice from Bank of America requesting additional information for an account that was trying to be opened. I never requested a bank account with BOA. They then claimed that the account was not opened to which when I received a debit card and monthly statement the account was indeed opened even though no money was in the account. I have a feeling that it is still open even though I made it very clear I did not open the account. I filled with the fraudulent department. This is the first time BOA has stolen my information. I had an account there about 13 years ago and was charged astronomical fees for over draft. Without any notification. When I had a credit card with them, that information was stolen. I have had at least two other occasions with them where my identity was stolen. It greatly affected my credit for some time but the e boa is off my credit report. But this definitely seems an ongoing problem with them.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX debuted a new program financing classic automobiles through dealerships that they would finance a vehicle dating back to XXXX. I financed XXXX vehicles through a local dealership. The first vehicle was purchased and financed in XX/XX/XXXX, loan XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. The second loan, XXXX, was purchased in XX/XX/XXXX. It was a XXXX XXXX. I made payments until I received a call from the dealer ( and did a conference call with the XXXX XXXX ) that the loans would have to be paid because XXXX would be unable to get a lien for these vehicles because New York State  does not issue titles for vehicles built prior to XXXX. XXXX had not done their due diligence because they were unaware of New York State law/guidlines as repect to titles. Subsequently, they changed their XXXX XXXX policy to accept only vehicles newer than a XXXX XXXX was paid first with a check from the dealer on my behalf XX/XX/XXXX ( copy enclosed ). The other loan was paid in full with a check dated XX/XX/XXXX. This normal payoff was received by XXXX via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX but not posted until XXXXA copy of the XXXX details is attached. 
The first paid loan ( XXXX ) was reported to the credit bureaus as Paid in full as agreed. Although the second loan was paid in full in XXXX the credit report still showed a open loan in XXXX and XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for another loan through XXXX and was declined due to a repo or chargeoff. After being on hold for XXXX minutes, I was informed that it was an internal error and would be internal only and not reflect on the credit reports. I immediately contacted the dealer who contacted XXXX many times. Many people involved all state that it is an internal error and needs to be corrected but no one can correct it because NO ONE has access to change the computer. As a result, my credit report currently shows XXXX chargeoffs which NEVER existed and this whole issue is a direct result of negligence on the part of XXXX for failing to due their due diligence. I know the email chain involved higher management and as a result they did issue me an approval ( based on an exception ) with a ridiculous fee and rate which was based on credit based on XXXX chargeoffs ( which are theirs and are inaccurate ). Many calls to customer service result in saying that someone will get back to me ( and no one ever does ) and that it is above their grade to be able to assist. I know the dealer, who has been fully transparent, has been working on this non stop also to no avail. 
One more thing. The first loan that was paid, the XXXX, XXXX, which had been reported paid as agreed was changed to a chargeoff with the XXXX reporting. This was a willful vengeance act.
