Complaint narrative:
There are hard inquiries showing on my credit report that I did not give the company approval to pull my credit report for, and its greatly effecting my crefit rating. I had or have no knowledge of these hard inquiries, this is not of my doings and I want these hard inquiries removed from my credit report. I tried to do an online dispute for these hard inquiries with XXXX, but it directed me to call them instead and I did on Monday, XX/XX/2023. XXXX started the dispute process and I received an email advising that the next step is to file a fraud identity report with an agency such as yours. I did not request, or give permission for these companies to pull my credit report, and I have no idea who did this, I feel that someone else is trying or have tried to get credit in my name.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is related to my other complaint. I applied for a Bank of America zero interest credit card on balance transfers in XXXX in preparation to my XXXX XXXX  balance switching to high interest on XX/XX/XXXX. I was confirmed my card was accepted on XX/XX/28 and that XXXX would be transferred to pay down the account. I made a minimum payment to XXXX to cover any delay time. However, by XX/XX/XXXX the funds had not been transferred and I was charged XXXX. I called Bank of America and they told me a paper check would be sent to me first by snail mail and THEN I would need to mail it to XXXX by snail mail-a very long process. They said that because I applied online and filled in the XXXX Account transfer online, it made a difference in payment method. ( versus in person or by phone ) There are no BA in my rural area and since Ive done transfers electronically before for expedient payment I assume they would send electronically. They told me XXXX doesnt accept electronic  transfers and to tear up the check WHEN it arrived and they would send another. This was now XX/XX/XXXX. I transferred XXXX from XXXX once again to cover increased interest. It was posted right away on XX/XX/XXXX. When second check arrived at XXXX it was returned as funds not available to which I got a delayed letter explaining. I called both BA and XXXX during this time. XXXX gave me yet another address to overnight yet a THIRD check and BA assured me it would be overnighted. But as of today XX/XX/XXXX no payments have posted anywhere and Im out additional XXXX in interest which defeats the entire purpose. WHO OWNS this problem? BA? XXXX? How could I have known or expected this convoluted process when I make electronic payments all the time through BA and to XXXX?
