Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I tried to send money from my checking account to my savings account. I accidentally sent the money to the credit card. Meaning I made a payment of {$1000.00} accidentally. I immediately called and told them that it was a mistake and they said they would refund it but it may take up to 90 days. After over a month I went into the bank for an update and realized they had lowered my line of credit by {$1100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and they said that since returning the {$1000.00} would put me over my credit limit that they would not be refunding my money. I believe that because I called and told them it was a mistake and the fact that they told me they would refund it that I was wronged. They lowered my line of credit the very next day so they would not have to pay me back.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the accuracy of the information on my credit report regarding XXXX, which I believe is participating in identity theft. XXXX has acquired my Social Security Number and personal details without my consent, constituting a severe violation of my privacy. 

Both XXXX and XXXX are violating permissible purpose regulations by providing my credit report without obtaining written consent from me. According to Section 604 ( f ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), users must certify a permissible purpose for obtaining a consumer report, and I request that you produce the written consent authorizing the furnishing of my credit report. 

Moreover, I am invoking Section 1681e ( b ) of the FCRA, which mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures ensuring the maximum possible accuracy of consumer information provided to third parties. XXXX has already removed this disputed information due to its inability to validate it. 

I hereby request that XXXX promptly conducts a thorough reinvestigation into the accuracy of the disputed information concerning XXXX, in accordance with Section 1681i of the FCRA. I expect the results of this reinvestigation, including the current status of the disputed information, or the removal of the item, within the 30-day period stipulated by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I went to try to purchase a home and was denied because it showed that I had an open collections with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) a property in the amount of {$9900.00} that was on my credit report in collections and an eviction. I have never stayed at this property nor have I signed a lease for the property. As I stated, i'm not sure who used my information, but it was fraudulently used to obtain this property, at the time I did not have a job so there was no way that I could have even afford this property if I wanted to. I've also received bills from XXXX XXXX  ( {$3800.00} ) as well as water companies/credit card companies and I've never had a home/apartment let alone a credit card. I stayed with family because I wanted to save up to buy a home. I've been at the same address for years, and I noticed other addresses on my report all properties that I never resided at. According to 15 U.S.C 1681 it is a defamation of character because I cant get anything let alone buy a home because of it and you guys continue to report false and inaccurate information on my credit report. I've reached out to credit bureaus such as ( XXXX, Transunion, XXXX ) and I've also submitted my supporting documents in which I had to file identity theft because my information has been used by someone in whom I do not know to have this removed and not XXXX credit bureau have yet to do a investigation, I only received the automated " This information is proven accurate ''. I have disputed it as well with third parties like XXXX XXXX, so if they have this information disputed how is it it being verified? I am disputing this account and requesting validation of debt. ( 15 USC 1692g Sec.809 ( b ) ). I am NOT requesting verification but I am requesting validation. I request that you provide me with evidence of the debt, including the results of your investigation. I have been battling with this for 3 years now and it is very troubling, I can not even get a place of my own because of it and this information is fraud and a defamation of character!!! After reviewing my credit report I must inform you that I am NOT responsible for the above listed accounts as I have been a victim of identity theft. I have already notified both my local police department and the Federal Trade Commission by completing an identity theft report which I have included for review. Please delete these accounts from my credit report immediately!
