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

Complaint narrative:
As a high school teacher, I applied for a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX issued by Bank of America this XXXX. It was approved and I was allowed to book hotel using the card numbers immediately before receiving the card. However, when I received the card I found it can't be activated and I can't even make a payment. I called BOA the answer was I need to go to a BOA branch in person to verify to enable the service. However the nearest BOA banch is about XXXX miles away from me. If I don't do it, I am not even allowed to pay my balance and when it's past due, they will send it to a collection company. 

I have called BOA at least 5 times for this issue, but they insisted that I visit their branch in person, which is XXXX miles driving and a whole work day in total. It is ridiculous and I don't think fair for me to do that. They said it's to protect me, but it's completely the opposite. 

Please kindly help me on this.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

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.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I initiated a transfer of {$690.00} from my Bank of America account ending in XXXX using XXXX. I was induced to make this transfer under false pretenses by a scammer with XXXX identifier XXXX. In XX/XX/year>, I realized the recipient was a scammer and filed a claim with Bank of America ( Claim # XXXX ). I later realized this scammer also scammed 50+ other victims in estimate online. 

At no point did I intend to send money to a scammer. I believed I was acting on legitimate instructions and only later discovered it was fraudulent. The scammer used manipulative and deceptive tactics to gain my trust and induce me to authorize this transfer. 

On XX/XX/year>, Bank of America denied my claim, stating that the transfer was completed as voluntarily authorized and therefore classified it as a scam rather than fraud. I contacted Bank of Americas dispute department by phone. They told me that the receiving bank, XXXX, refused to cooperate in their investigation. Bank of America also informed me they would not credit my account because I voluntarily initiated the transfer. 

However, I relied on Bank of Americas security protections to safeguard my account against fraud. The banks refusal to credit my account or work with the receiving bank ( XXXX ) leaves me with no protection despite being the victim of financial crime. Classifying this as voluntary unfairly shifts the burden of fraud onto me, the consumer, rather than recognizing the fraudulent circumstances under which the transfer occurred. 

I request BofA and XXXX to further investigate this fraudulent action and recover the fund on my behalf.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit file continues to display unauthorized hard inquiries that were made without my knowledge or consent.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 1681b ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ), a permissible purpose is required for any hard inquiry. None of these inquiries were authorized by me, nor were they connected to any legitimate extension of credit. Their continued presence on my report is therefore a direct violation of federal law. 

The following inquiries are unauthorized and must be permanently deleted : NEGATIVE MARK / ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> I have already disputed these items directly with [ Credit Bureau ], providing both my written dispute and a copy of my official FTC Identity Theft Report. Despite my compliance with the legal process, the bureau has failed to block and remove these inquiries as required under FCRA Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ).

This non-compliance has caused measurable harm to my financial life : My credit score remains artificially low due to inquiries I never authorized.

I am being denied credit opportunities.

When I do receive approvals, I face higher interest rates and less favorable terms.

These violations have placed me at risk of further identity theft and financial damage.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
