Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against LexisNexis Risk Solutions for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) related to their failure to process my dispute and the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my LexisNexis consumer report. 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to LexisNexis, addressed to their correct mailing address as provided on their official website, disputing an inaccurate bankruptcy entry on my consumer report. To ensure proper identification, I included copies of my government-issued ID, Social Security card , and proof of address, as required. Despite my compliance with their dispute submission requirements, I did not receive a response to my dispute. Instead, my dispute letter was returned to me unprocessed, with no explanation provided by LexisNexis.

Under the FCRA, specifically sections 611 ( a ) and 623 ( b ), LexisNexis is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation of consumer disputes within 30 days of receipt and to correct or remove inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. By failing to process my dispute and returning my letter, LexisNexis has violated these provisions, preventing me from exercising my rights to ensure the accuracy of my consumer report. Furthermore, the bankruptcy entry remains inaccurate and continues to harm my financial standing.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of America, noting a charge from XXXX that was suspicious. As a result, a new card was issued. 

However, after cancelling it, they did not inform me that I would be without a virtual card while I waited for the physical copy. I have no access to my funds. I can only wait for a card to arrive by mail. Customers can not even go into a branch and receive them. This is unacceptable and seems like there is unscrupulous activity taking place if clients can lose access at any time.
