Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report by all three credit bureaus, which has been reported by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I previously settled my debt with this company in full. However, the report inaccurately shows that only a partial payment was made. This is false, and I am attaching proof of the settlement, which clearly indicates the payment was a full and final settlement of the account. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information reported. As the reporting from this company is not accurate, you are obligated to remove this incorrect information from my credit report. 

I have already paid the full settlement amount, and the companys continued misreporting violates credit reporting laws. Therefore, I demand the immediate removal of this account from my report, as the company is not reporting the facts accurately.

Attached, you will find documentation proving the full settlement of the account. I expect the erroneous information to be removed within [ timeframe, e.g., 30 days ] as required by law. Failure to correct this issue may force me to seek legal action to resolve this matter.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I am a Bank of America customer since XXXX. I have a current account and a savings account. I am not living now in the US so I manage almost everything through online banking and I use the customer service phone number only for specific reasons. Earlier this year I called Bank of America and asked if there was any extra security method I could use for my savings account. The answer was that I could freeze the account as we were talking on the phone to prevent any funds being transferred from that account until I call again and unblock the account on the phone. I agreed with that and blocked the account. 

In XXXX, I called the bank to unblock the account because I needed to transfer some funds to my current account. To my surprise, they asked me for a US cellular phone number to receive a text to authenticate me. They never asked for that in the past. Actually, they always required answers to security questions and asked personal questions like passport number, card number, etc. Since that first call in XXXX, I have made dozens of calls, I have asked to talk to supervisors, I have talked to the fraud department and so on. I have offered them any other method to verify my identity, even a video call where I can show any of my bank statements, my passport and any other ID, whatever they require. The answer is always No. I have also asked them to use their sister bank in XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), so that I can go to any bank office here and give them personally any document that helps Bank of America to authenticate me and unfreeze my savings account. 

I have tried to use a XXXX XXXX number and a XXXX XXXX  with a US phone number, but they work as virtual numbers and do not accept authentication texts from banks. The bank says I need to go to a bank office in the US to solve the problem. 

I do not have the possibility now to flight to the US to go to my bank office to unblock an account they recommended me to block. Do you really think that is a possibility? 

They are withholding my money and who knows if this is a strategy to control the access customers have to their own money.

Imagine my frustration. I had to ask a friend living in the US to transfer funds to my current account at that time. I really appreciate if you can help me to solve this problem since traveling to the US is not a possibility for me now due to sev
eral personal reasons.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
