Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> {$XXXX} XXXX XXXX fraudulently charged a membership fee and proceeded to withdraw funds from XXXX Account without my permission. 



I proceeded to contact the customer service agent and escalated the issue to the supervisor to no avail. I was in contact with them for 4 hours, and proceeded to be transferred to multiple times each time having to reiterate the same issue. I even contacted my bank and provided a transaction id to no avail. XXXX XXXX began making discriminatory remarks, even after providing my name XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX continued making derogatory remarks calling me Latravis. They proceeded to apologize and I thought nothing of it. Thats when support staff continued to make underhanded comments regarding race and ethnicity. 

At this point I didn't know where to go, I am aware {$XXXX} isn't a substantial amount of money but I am a college student so things begin to add up.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Bank of America for Failure to Process Dispute Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding their failure to adequately address a dispute I submitted. 

On XXXX XXXX, I filed a dispute with Bank of America concerning a transaction that I believe to be unauthorized or incorrect. Despite following all the necessary procedures and providing the required documentation, I have not received a satisfactory response from the bank. 

Specifically, the issues I am experiencing are as follows : 1. Lack of Response : Bank of America has not responded to my dispute within the timeframe required by law.

2. Failure to Investigate : There appears to have been no thorough investigation into my claim, as I have not been informed of any findings or conclusions.

3. Failure to Credit My Account : The disputed amount has not been provisionally credited to my account while the investigation is supposedly ongoing. 

The transaction in question involves [ briefly describe the transaction, including date and amount ]. I have attached copies of all correspondence with the bank, as well as any supporting documents that substantiate my claim. 

I am extremely concerned about this lack of action from Bank of America, as it has caused undue stress and financial inconvenience. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that Bank of America complies with all relevant regulations regarding consumer disputes. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently received an email from a third-party collections entity, Jefferson Capital , LLC , claiming ownership of the debt associated with two credit cards. My immediate response was to send them a request to provide me with a verification letter concerning the debt, which should be sent to my home address by mail. 

To date, I have not received any correspondence, and thus, I take the liberty of sending this email as a follow-up in respect of the delay. Upon my review of my credit report, I was alarmed to see that it reports the collection as a derogatory account, which significantly hurts my credit score. 

The e-mail communications indicate the history of subjects covered, concerning the XXXX XXXX issued by XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, respectively, each with its reference number. 

Jefferson Capital will not do collections while a debt is under verification and my account is not, therefore, currently reported to the credit bureaus ; hence this statement adds an even bigger question mark on the validity of their statements.
