Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a travel credit card on or about XX/XX/year>. The offer clearly stated that a {$600.00} bonus would be provided if {$4000.00} was spent on the credit card within 90 days. I noticed that on the web site, in spite of me not having received the card to utilize it, I was notified I had only 78 days left to spend the {$4000.00} to get the bonus {$600.00}. I called today, Bank of America and explained my concern to a lady who identified herself as only XXXX, she completely understood my concern, regarding the absurdity of BOAbeginning the 90 day countdown to the bonus almost 2 weeks before I am even scheduled to receive the card. ( BOA notified me the card was mailed and I should receive it tomorrow, XX/XX/year> ). She put me on hold to check something and came back and said that is the rule and I can not change it. She was polite and helpful, however was not about to deal with my concern regarding deception. I think BOA needs to be held to account for this obviously deceptive practice of beginning the countdown for the 90 day bonus spending requirement perhaps as many as 2 weeks before the consumer actually receives the card. Of course, purchases can not be made without the card or activating it. Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit report shows a collection account that I have no knowledge of or connection to. This account has been mistakenly linked to my profile, and my attempts to address the issue through the credit bureau have not led to a satisfactory outcome. Despite submitting documentation to request verification and removal, the credit bureau continues to report the account as legitimate without providing sufficient evidence. This has negatively impacted my credit score and financial stability, and the lack of corrective action is both unfair and deeply frustrating.
