Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, 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. ''

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XX/XX/year> VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX  XXXX - XXXX that they do not report or furnish XXXX  proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the XXXX  account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this XXXX on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report multiple times with Experian. Specifically, I am disputing the following accounts being reported. 

Despite my written disputes, the credit bureau ( s ) have failed to properly verify these accounts or provide original documentation, such as signed contracts or account-level records. Instead, they have provided only automated responses through e-Oscar, which does not satisfy the reasonable investigation requirement under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 611 ).

The continued reporting of these unverifiable accounts is causing ongoing harm to my credit profile.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer r

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this new complaint in reference to my previous report ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), as I was unable to attach supporting documentation to my prior submission. 

Since my initial report, I have received a formal response from Bank of America stating that the disputed transactions were made by me or by someone authorized by me. This statement is false. I never made or authorized those charges, nor did I give access to my account or debit card to any third party. 

It has now been almost one month since I first contacted Bank of America, while the transactions were still pending, to report them as fraudulent. Despite my immediate communication and the banks acknowledgment of the ongoing processing status at that time, I have not yet received the return of my funds. 

I am attaching the following documents for review and evidence : Copy of the FBI report I filed regarding this fraud. 

Formal response letter from Bank of America denying my claim. 

Formal communication I sent last week requesting the reopening of the investigation and reiterating that these transactions were unauthorized. 

I respectfully request that this matter be thoroughly reviewed and that Bank of America be required to return the funds that were unlawfully withdrawn from my account. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
