Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am a transactor, therefore paying off my credit card at the end of each month. For the last two months, I have been charged interest. I paid the balance less the Rewards that I applied as a Statement Credit and was still charged interest. I have called Bank of America and they refunded the fee but this is deceptive on their part. The balance was paid in full, even if a small amount was a statement credit from the Rewards. It's as if my Rewards were applied or aren't being recognized as a Credit.

After mailing Equifax a dispute letter asking them to investigate accounts and information that's being reporting inaccurately and unlawfully, they have yet to respond to me with any updates about an investigation nor did they fix any of the errors.

By them reporting these accounts without my consent to share my personal information, there creditors listed in my dispute is in violation of violation my right of privacy. I mailed them a letter asking them to cease all communications with me in which they are legally supposed to stop contacting me which means stop reporting this account through any medium.
