Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I checked my mobile banking app and saw a fraudulent ACH payment to a credit card I do not own, in the amount of {$4200.00}. I was not sent any text alerts or email alerts like I have been in the past. I immediately called the fraud department regarding this unapproved transaction. After over an hour and multiple transfers, an agent said she could not initiate a claim or stop payment as the ACH was processing and that Id have to call back the next day once the charge posted. I called in today, XX/XX/XXXX, and after 2 hours, multiple transfers, and denials to requests to speak with a supervisor, I have no resolution or case number. Ive been told it will take up to 10 business days to review and investigate, which is unacceptable since I have no access to my money during this time. 

Bank of America is failing to uphold safeguards and is allowing fraud to run rampant. They fail to take accountability and provide basic consumer protections to prevent large amounts of money from being illegally accessed and stolen, and thus, are complicit in the fraud. When this unique, first time transaction was noticed on my account ledger, it was not paused, stopped, or canceled in spite of immediate requests by me. I was not provided any alerts or timely resolution.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to dispute a fraudulent account that appears on my credit report. The account details are as follows : - **Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) - **Account Number : ** XXXX - **Date Opened : ** XX/XX/year> - **Balance : ** {$190.00} This account was not authorized by me and was opened as a result of identity theft. I have never had any dealings with this company and did not consent to this account being opened in my name. This fraudulent account has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused undue stress and hardship. This account was previously removed from my credit report but has inexplicably reappeared. I am requesting its immediate removal once again and that it be permanently blocked from reappearing on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I am entitled to have fraudulent information resulting from identity theft removed from my credit report. Additionally, Californias Identity Theft Protection Act ( Cal. Civ. Code 1798.93 ) reinforces my right to dispute and demand the removal of fraudulent accounts. This repeated reappearance of the account violates my consumer rights under both federal and state law. I demand that this account be removed and blocked from my credit report permanently and that I receive confirmation of this action in writing. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to pursue further action, including legal remedies under the FCRA and California state law.
