Consumer complaint received 2024-07-12 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
I called Equifax to inquire about and potentially dispute ( if needed ) the addition of a new collection This collection is medical in nature ( imaging that took place at a hospital, done for a XXXX XXXX  ). My XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to pay the bill for the imaging ( despite it being in my clinical trial paperwork and signed contract ) and it ended up being in collections. The sum is less than {$500.00} and is definitely medical, and from what I understand, anything with these characteristics should be able to be removed from the credit bureaus. I instead was told by a customer service representative however that even if paid, that will remain on my credit. This is counter to what I have read and understand to be true, which is that this collection should be removed entirely.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Credit Card Account and Missing Funds Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an error with my credit card account and the subsequent handling of my funds. 

Several years ago, I had a credit card account with Bank of America, which I used for a year before closing it. Despite closing the account, the card continued to appear under my checking account, although it was inactive. This situation persisted for years. 

About a year ago, I opened a new credit card account with Bank of America and began using it. A few months ago, I made a payment of {$200.00} toward my credit card balance. Since my new credit card account did not appear on my online banking page and only the old, closed account was visible, I mistakenly sent the payment to the old account. Despite the account being closed, the bank accepted this transaction and deducted {$200.00} from my checking account. 

A month ago, I visited a Bank of America branch to resolve this issue. The customer service representative assured me that I would receive my {$200.00} back within XXXX days. He also asked me to log into my account on my laptop and then deleted all information related to my old credit card from my account, which I did not request. 

Today, I visited another Bank of America branch to follow up on this issue. However, XXXX XXXX, the bank representative, informed me that I need to provide information about my old credit card account to resolve the issue. Since the information was deleted by the previous representative, I am unable to provide it. I believe the bank should have records of this account and should be able to assist me in retrieving my funds without requiring information that was deleted by your staff. 

I request your immediate assistance in locating my {$200.00} and refunding it to me as soon as possible. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and frustration, and I expect prompt action to rectify this error. 

Please contact me at email XXXX to confirm receipt of this complaint and provide an update on the resolution process. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
A money network account was created by my employer to facilitate direct deposits. The account had only received direct deposits and no other transactions UNTIL I withdrew from an ATM at XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. From then, no other transactions were made/authorized by me. On XX/XX/year>, I decided to check if my direct deposit was processed. To my surprise several unauthorized transactions posted to my account. Immediately called to notify money network and they stated I need to fill out a dispute form. The dispute form arrived ( no information of my rights were attached ) and I emailed it back with an explanation on XX/XX/year>. This falls with in a XXXX business day period required for a provisional credit. I have been calling twice a week and now they request additional information but fail to tell me what information they seek. I never lost my card, I was never notified or received fraud alerts. There isnt much more explanation available as it is a new account. I am always directed to a third party customer service company and can never speak directly with a money network dispute/fraud department agent nor can the representatives connect me nor can I find the info online.
