Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
my name is XXXX XXXX i am writing this myself on behalf of myself, any authorization or verification you say you need consider it given.. 

your company is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) Exclusions ( B ) and in violation of Under truth and lending 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( I ) The term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. 

By that definition my social security card is a credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. 
And anything that extends from a credit card or similar device according to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) Exclusions ( B ) ; should be excluded from my credit report.

not only that, but since i am the original creditor according to 15 U.S. Code 1692a ( 4 ) The term creditor means any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed, but such term does not include any person to the extent that he receives an assignment or transfer of a debt in default solely for the purpose of facilitating collection of such debt for another. 

as the original creditor, only i can validate this debt. i do not validate this debt which puts this agency in violation of 15 U.S.C 1692g. since i wasnt notified of this in writing 5 days prior.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This company has infringed on my right to privacy, I have never given this company any right to have my personal information. This company was trying to collect on an alleged debt. This company reported unverified inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies, which has greatly harmed my ability to offer or extend my credit to other financial institutions. This is against federal laws. This account is not mine and was opened using my personal identification without my consent. When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). Ive also never given this company permission to contact me which according to the FCRA is also against federal laws. I have asked numerous times for this company to stop furnishing false information to the CRAs and also for them to stop contacting me. Ive repeatedly asked for this to be removed through various methods.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing regarding 2 transactions on my Macys card. 

The first transaction, XXXX # XXXX was returned to Macys. I paid with my Macys card. Macys took it upon itself to refund the order with a gift card. I placed another order over the phone and the rep didnt know how to use the gift card. I went to the store to purchase a shirt and the store couldnt use the gift card. Ive called multiple times to have my refund returned to my Macys card and I get lied to that it was. My Macys account balance is still the same. I paid {$11.00} with my Macys money. They have yet to issue a refund for that {$11.00} dollars. I didnt cancel or return the order. I earned that with my purchase history. 

The second order, XXXX # XXXX with Tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been stuck at Macys warehouse for over 2 weeks XXXX It says label created and shipper awaiting package. Ive called multiple times to request my refund and Im no longer willing to wait. 

I purchased elsewhere. Till today, they havent processed the refund. They reported my account to the credit bureau today as credit use higher than normal with 30 % usage. 

I need Macys to be held accountable.

Complaint narrative:
I have been a Bank of America ( " BA '' ) customer for over 30 years. I have my primary checking account and credit card with them. On XX/XX/21 around XXXX XXXX I received a text message from BA regarding possible fraudulent charges on my BA Visa card. I logged onto my account and identified 4 suspicious charges that I know I did not make -- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$6.00} XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX {$24.00} - XX/XX/21 ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( {$57.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX - XX/XX/21 XXXX XXXX I filed a fraud claim. BA closed my credit card, issued a new one, and gave me a temporary credit for the charges. Yesterday, I received a letter from BA ( attached ) saying my fraud claims are denied because " these charges are consistent with past charges with these merchants. '' First, all the charges are in or near XXXX, PA. I live in XXXX, VA, and I was in XXXX, not in XXXX, on the dates of the charges. Moreover, I can document my presence in XXXX with an in-person BA credit card transaction ( Bake Shop {$34.00} ) made on XX/XX/XXXX, the same date that two of the fraudulent transactions ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) were made. ( See my attached bank statement ). I have tried multiple times to reach the BA 's representment department to reconsider these claims. They are difficult to reach. When I did reach someone today, they told me they could not reopen a fraud claim, but could review the charges as a billing dispute with the merchant. 

This is not a simple billing dispute. Someone used my credit card number without my authorization to make fraudulent charges with four merchants. I want Bank of American to reconsider and review these four fraud claims more carefully.
