Issue: Trouble using the card — Problem with a check written from your prepaid card account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Hi my name is XXXX XXXX I currently am a resident of North Carolina. During the Covid pandemic lockdown and mandated curfews put in place by our President and local authorities. So at that time I had been a small business owner for over ten years and at no fault of my own in order to do what our government said I filed for unemployment for the first in my life and I asked for my funds to be placed into my personal checking account but for some reason my NC unemployment was placed on the prepaid Bank of America card. There were some a few times that I didnt recognize the transactions on the card so when I called to ask questions about the transactions the employees of BOA filed dispute. With that getting resolved with no warning the bank froze my account and took it negative over {$4000.00}. The refused to tell me anything or release my money from unemployment during the pandemic! My power was disconnected in XXXX of 2020 where because of that my landlord evicted me and my son. Now since then I have a mountain of debt and late charges that are on my credit and I still am finghting with BOA TO RECIEVE MY MONEY OR ANY TYPE OF RESTITUTION!! When they do give me a little tiny bit of my money they make me wait 30 to 45 days to issue a check! Its absurd! How is this fair for us working class people to get treated so poorly? I have no idea! I have had Bank of America regulator complaints operations reach out to me only to send me SOMEONE ELSE BANK STATEMENTS FROM CALIFORNIA NAMED XXXX XXXX along some of my information as well! I am asking for some type of apology and restitution from the company because they have messed me and my son lives up more than they care to realize! I just want a place to live again with my son and it doesnt have to be a big nice place. If we could just go back to what we had before Bank of America costs us ours. {$35000.00} I feel like is the normal average income of annual income well thats my average anyway. I respectfully request that my voice be heard and for it to matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: LendingPoint Holdings LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Sold Charged-off Accounts from Credit Report I am writing to address a significant concern regarding the reporting of sold charged-off accounts on consumers ' credit reports. It has come to my attention that LENDING PT has been reporting charged-off accounts on credit reports even after the debts have been sold to third-party debt buyers. This practice not only violates consumer rights but also disregards established federal laws and regulations governing credit reporting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to accurate and fair reporting of their credit information. The FCRA mandates that information reported on credit reports must be complete, accurate, and substantiated. Furthermore, Section 623 ( a ) ( 4 ) of the FCRA specifies that if a debt has been sold, the original creditor must update the account to reflect that it has been sold and is no longer their responsibility. 
The reporting of sold charged-off accounts on credit reports violates the FCRA in the following ways : Misleading and Inaccurate Reporting : Reporting charged-off accounts as if they are still owned by the original creditor is misleading and presents an inaccurate representation of the consumer 's creditworthiness. This practice violates the requirement for accurate and substantiated reporting. 
Failure to Update Account Status : Failing to update the account status to reflect that the debt has been sold and is no longer the responsibility of the original creditor violates the FCRA 's requirement for complete and up-to-date reporting. 
Additionally, it is important to note that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) may also be applicable in this situation. The FDCPA sets guidelines for debt collectors and prohibits unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in the collection of debts. Reporting a debt as if it is still owned by the original creditor, when it has been sold, could be considered a deceptive practice under the FDCPA. 
In light of these legal violations, I request that LENDING PT takes immediate action to rectify this situation by : Removing all sold charged-off accounts from consumers ' credit reports : All accounts that have been sold to third-party debt buyers should be promptly removed from the credit reports of affected consumers. This removal should include any associated negative remarks or comments. 
I expect Lending to comply with these requests within 15 days of receiving this letter. Failure to do so may result in legal action seeking remedies available under the FCRA and other applicable laws.

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint with the CFPB # XXXX. XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  TD Bank both agreed in a letter from TD Bank to me dated XX/XX/2023 to resolve the issue with the damaged door panels on my new refrigerator they damaged at delivery after I filed a complaint with the CFPB. XXXX XXXX, XXXX TD Bank issued a small credit of {$380.00} credit which is basically is the late fees they have charged me for not paying for a damaged refrigerator that XXXX would Not honorably take care of. In the same letter dated XX/XX/2023, They stated XXXX has agreed to issue me new panels that they damaged at delivery and all 's I needed to do was contact XXXX to order the panels. Around the same time period we received an email from XXXX stating we are eligible for free door panels. When we add them to our shopping cart and entered our address the panels all of a sudden become unavailable to our address. We made over a half dozen calls to XXXX to try to get the panels replaced, Hours on the phone. One time we were able to speak with a rep who tried to order the panels for us and he said they were available, yet when he put them in the shopping cart and entered our address in the system, again the panels became unavailable. It is apparent they have us BLACKLISTED. This situation has caused great duress to my family. I was willing to accept the low monetary credit from TD as long as XXXX sent us new panels just to move on, BUT AGAIN THEY FAILED TO TO THE RIGHT THING. Now my credit score has gone from XXXX down to XXXX. This is just unacceptable that my perfect credit has been damaged over a refrigerator XXXX and TD Bank will not own up to and do the write thing.
