Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I had bad credit so i decided to get something that would help me fix it, i decided to go with XXXX XXXX because they advertised that they would accept and fix low credit. Latey i have been checking my credit to ensure im getting it back on track only to find out XXXX does not report to any credit bureaus. They give out a {$2000.00} loan and i make all the payments but it is not helping my credit score at all because they are not reporting. Isnt this illegal? I brought up the questions and concerns to the XXXX team but they continue to say they have never reported even though my confirmation emails say in fine print that they regularly report to equifax. Something with the XXXX XXXX is fishy it has to be a scamming company.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I did receive temporary authorizations for three transactions I did not make on my credit card. I immediately called Bank of America and notified them about fraudulent autharizations : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for {$390.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$890.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for {$380.00} I never used these merchants and these transactions are not typical for my purchases. 
The agent on the phone told me they will take care of these. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, these transactions were posted to my account and I called the Bank of America again about these transactions, spent 52 minutes talking to different people and notified about these fraudulent transactions again. They were removed from my account. 
However, when I received the statement on XX/XX/year> these transactions were added again to my account. I called Bank of America again on XX/XX/XXXX and they told me it will take 90 days to resolve and remove these transactions. 
On XX/XX/XXXX first transaction was taken care of and credit issued for {$390.00}. There also was a refund of {$19.00} from XXXX XXXX. 
I called Bank of America again on XX/XX/XXXX, close to 90 days limit, inquiring about the other two transactions. They told me the mailed me a letter, however I did not receive such letter by mail. They told me I need to file a new complain and it will be another 90 days waiting for me. 
I did not receive the promised letter and called the Bank of America again on XX/XX/XXXX. They told me that I can keep calling them but it will not help, I need to wait for another 90 days. 
On XX/XX/XXXX statement I did receive a refund from XXXX XXXX for {$37.00}, however, the original charge was for {$890.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I did receive a letter from Bank of America stating that the credit for {$390.00} is permanent now. 
I did not receive any mentioning about the other two transactions. 
Now it is another 90 days passed and there is no evidence that Bank of America even wanted to help me with the other two transactions.

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.

Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.
