Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America is incorrectly showing an account as having a late payment for XX/XX/year>, and falsely sending that to the credit reporting agencies. This is in violation of the FCRA. This account has always been on AutoPay and has never been late. Since XXXX, I have reported this to the bank and it's going on 4 months now that they are not taking action, not returning calls, and not correctly the issue. They have even closed CFPB complaints saying that they issue is resolved, but then privately emailing me and saying they are still researching. This has cost me approximately {$10000.00} in increased costs due to higher loan rates tied to a lower credit score, that was only affected by this false information from the bank. Bank of America should cover any of these expenses.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution.

I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Reporting of Time-Barred Debts in Violation of Federal and State Laws To Whom It May Concern : I am filing this complaint against these agencies for reporting debts to credit bureaus that are over three years old and thus unenforceable under Maryland law . Under Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings 5-101, consumer debts that are more than three years old are considered time-barred and are no longer legally enforceable.

Despite this, these debt collectors have reported these unenforceable debts to credit bureaus, which I believe constitutes a violation of my rights. Such reporting disregards protections provided by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), which mandates fair and accurate credit reporting. Reporting these time-barred debts misrepresents their enforceability, potentially damaging my credit profile and misleading future creditors. 

Furthermore, the XXXX XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 6802 ) limits how my private financial information may be shared without consent. By reporting these unenforceable debts, these agencies have likely disclosed my private information in a manner inconsistent with my rights under this law. Additionally, under the Privacy Act of 1974, I am entitled to protection of my personal information, which should not be misused or disclosed in ways that could harm my reputation or financial standing. 

I request that the CFPB investigate these debt collection agencies practices to ensure they immediately retract these reports of time-barred debts and cease all efforts that misrepresent the enforceability of such debts. Furthermore, I ask that the CFPB hold these agencies accountable for any breaches of my rights under both federal and Maryland state laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
