Complaint narrative:
I appreciate you taking the effort to CORRECT some of the data in my credit report, but I checked my credit report and found that some of the data were stillincorrect. The three credit bureaus are required by Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) to verify these items ( A ). It is not permitted to report these items as unverified information without giving any supporting documentation within the legally permitted time frame. My credit report lists the following issues as needing investigation and deletion due to inaccurate reporting in my file.

Complaint narrative:
It looks like XXXX is up to its old tricks and didn't learn their lesson back in XXXX when they were fined {$28.00} XXXX for deceptive debt collecting practices because as of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX randomly closed my account ( XXXX ) and illegally froze all funds and my access without any warning. My debit card, ATM usage and online account functions were blocked and inaccessible without adequate notice. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX mailed a letter to me that states they have no alternative but to recommend [ Account # XXXX ] for legal action. based on a delinquent account. The letter also implied that I will find it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain additional credit because of my present unsatisfactory credit rating. XXXX did not analyze my credit situation before sending me the letter. This is in Violation of Section 1036 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the CFPA, that prohibits unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. 

The injuries I have sustained were not reasonably avoidable because XXXX 's policies and practices regarding electronic access and service restrictions were never adequately disclosed to me when I opened my deposit accounts, credit accounts, or before I became delinquent on a credit account. XXXX 's electronic account access restriction activities, constitute unfair acts or practices in violation of sections 1031 ( a ) and 1036 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the CFPA, 12 U.S.C. 5531 ( a ) and 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX failed to cease and desist all forms of communication, reporting these inaccuracies on my credit report. This is in Violation of 15 usc 1692 ( c ).

Lastly, both the CRA 's and Creditors did not have permissible pursuant to 15 US Code 1681b : a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury, or a subpoena issued in accordance with section 5318 of title 31 or section 3486 of title 18.

( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

I have contacted the Attorney General 's Office, XXXX and the CFPB TWICE and nothing has changed. 

The {$28.00} XXXX was just a slap on the wrist for XXXX. I highly recommend that they learn a lesson by way of stiffer penalties and fines. 

I am demanding that this debt be entirely removed from all three credit bureaus or I will be seeking statutory damages as XXXX willfully violated its obligations under the FCRA.

Consumer complaint received 2023-02-22 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I paid off my auto loan around the first week of XXXX, 2023. Within the next week, I asked for a lien release letter or similar so that I could register my vehicle properly with the DMV. ( The DMV had requested that I get this letter so the title is properly updated. ) Bank of America repeatedly delayed any sort of tangible action in getting a letter processed. It has been over a month, and my temporary license plate is expiring. Still, Bank of America has not gotten the letter to me, nor made and good faith attempt to do so given the gravity of the situation and the time that has already elapsed ( about 1.5 months ).

The Bank refuses to send the letter by email, stating they can fax it. They also refuse to upload it to the online document center where I can find other letters and statements. Their attitude was basically one of dismissal and negligence, not worrying at all about the customer not being able to drive their vehicle due to expired license plates, refusing the most options to get a letter sent faster, like expedited sending, email, or online upload into their system which already handles letters and special documents. They state they can only send it by the slow mail system which takes 10 business days, but given the first one has not arrived, I have little confidence they will get it right the second time, and can not accept the risk of the second one not arriving on time and them trying the same thing a 3rd time as by then I will no longer be able to drive legally.
