In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality. 

I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate the accounts listed below XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts have violated my rights. 

They stated that everything was correct and accurate. 
This is not possible as there are multiple discrepancies with each account. Some of these accounts were paid in full. Some were opened and closed on improper dates. Missed payments that were not missed, etc. 
Illegally shared payment history and personal information with debt buyer companies.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I recently filed a complaing about Bank of America 's practices with my account so this is in a sense an update. This last credit card period of one month I was charged over 100 % interest on purchases ( charged {$36.00} in interest for {$31.00} in purchases ). The previous month 's interest was precisely correct, but this is not suprising as over time I have noticed a pattern of inconsistent interest charges and have usually been too busy to deal with it but am really upset at this point and hope to be fairly remunerated. 

A transfer I did not authorize was also made from my Bank of America checking account to an external linked account I have with another bank. 

Both of these events are disturbing and I really hope for an audit of my accounts to explain each, and all of the unfair interest I have been charged since opening the credit card account in 2014 to be remunerated.

Company: IOWA STUDENT LOAN LIQUIDITY CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I've already notified the appropriate creditors about these phony accounts, and I've sent along all the supporting paperwork needed to confirm the accounts ' late payments. Several credit reporting agencies have verified the instances of late payments and swiftly removed these accounts from my credit history. 

ASPIRE SERVICING CENTE XXXX - This account was NEVER late. The late payment is erroneous. Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or ASPIRE SERVICING CENTE customer service. 

I am aware that you have 30 days after receiving a customer dispute to look into disputed information in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I implore you to act quickly to settle this matter and make the necessary updates to my credit record. 

In addition, after the required adjustments have been made, I would like a copy of the updated credit report as well as written confirmation of the removal.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a camera from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and used my XXXX XXXX  XXXX Comenity account expecting 0 % interest if paid in 12 months. In XX/XX/XXXX there was an interest charge added to the bill. I made several calls to both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Comenity bank about this. It took until XX/XX/XXXX before Comenity agreed to look into this. In XXXX I received a letter stating that I would refunded XXXX and the interest rate would be changed. I was never credited the above amount and have continued to be charged interest on the account. I have made monthly payments to the account such that the initial amount was paid in full over the 12 month time frame but the interest has continued to accumulate. I have made multiple calls to customer service who tell me they do not have any ability to fix this as the division they need to contact has not responded to them. I was most recently told to send a message via their website where I stated everything written above as well as sending them copies of the letters they sent to me and the response was that I had never contacted them in the past ( yet I have the letters they sent me ). I want the interest charges removed according to letters they sent.
