Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I signed a six-month contract for insurance on my car with a company listed on my bank statement as the merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a cost of {$280.00}. 
On XX/XX/year>, mentioned insurance company violated the terms of the previous contract and unilaterally, without notifying the consumer, raised the cost to {$370.00}, and on its own, without approved authorization on my part, charged that amount to my credit card. 
Of course, I did not agree with the insurance company 's greed and immediately on XX/XX/year>, I filed a fraud dispute. 
The bank temporarily credited me for {$370.00} while the dispute was going on. 
However, my bank, Bank of America, instead of immediately blocking any ability for the above merchant to charge any money or conduct transactions on my credit card, on XX/XX/year> I saw that the dispute was over and I was charged {$370.00} again, allegedly I bought this insurance again. 
Who at Bank of America handles disputes??? 
How was this transaction even made again for {$370.00} if I had already blocked the previous credit card and refused this scam insurance company? 
I have long ago signed with another insurance company and have nothing to do with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I also found on my bank statement that the merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX uses another name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA along with this name, obviously to mislead people and the bank. 
I demand that Bank of America immediately reverse this charge to my credit card in the amount of {$370.00} dated XX/XX/year>. 
I demand that Bank of America immediately block both of the above merchants from accessing my credit card and my accounts in general. 
I did not authorize or approve this transaction or future transactions for the above merchants.

To Whom it May Concern : On or around XX/XX/XXXX a cashier 's check in the amount of {$12000.00} was mailed to Credit Acceptance to pay off an auto loan. I have made several attempts to the company requesting inaccurate data be removed from my credit profile. As of XX/XX/XXXX this account is currently on my credit file and is being reported as late and also impacting my credit file negatively. The account has been paid in its entirety. The company has violated federal law listed below. 

Be advised this is not a refusal to pay but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g stating your claim is disputed, and validation is requested.

This is not a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. 

I respectfully request your offices provide me with evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you, including the following documentation : Agreement with the creditor that authorizes you to collect on this alleged debt ; The agreement bearing my signature stating that I have agreed to assume the debt ; Valid copies of the debt agreement stating the amount of the debt and interest charges ; Proof that the Statute of Limitations has not expired ; Complete payment history on this account along with an accounting of all additional charges being assessed ; Proof that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and Your license numbers and Registered Agent. 
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ), this action may constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate to bring legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Defamation of Character. 

If your office fails to reply to this debt validation letter within XXXX ( XXXX ) days from the date of your receipt, all instances related to this account must be immediately deleted and completely removed from my credit file. Moreover, all future attempts to collect on the said debt must be ceased. 

Your non-compliance with my request will be construed as an absolute waiver of all claims to enforce the debt against me and your implied agreement to compensate me for attorney fees should I be forced to bring this matter before a judge. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I am being harassed by a debt collection agency for a debt that I do not owe or that is not valid. The collection agency has failed to provide proper validation of the debt despite my request, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Additionally, they have continued to contact me repeatedly via phone and email after I requested they cease communication. I believe the debt is either inaccurate or was not mine to begin with, and I have asked the agency to provide evidence supporting their claim, but they have not responded or provided the requested documentation. This situation is causing undue stress and negatively affecting my credit report without justification. ''
