I have inquiries on my file that I did not do nor authorize. I filed an FTC report and sent it to the credit bureaus.

I explained to them that I specifically went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  only because I was pre-approved with them and there was no one else I applied to. They refuse to listen. They are assuming a dealer initiated the inquiries while looking for a loan but as I explained to them that was not the case because I didnt purchase a car from a dealer. The loan obtained was to buyout the lease of my current vehicle. There is also a XXXX XXXX credit card inquiry that I did not authorize and they refused to remove it.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In light of your report on Bank of America, I can tell you the issues with them rearranging and double dipping late fees goes all the way back to 2008, at least. I closed my account with B of A in 2008 because of what they were doing to my account. I confronted bankers in the lobby, here in XXXX, to which they agreed with me that B of A did what they did. They tried to undo it and credit it back to my account, but the 'System ' would only allow them to refund {$20.00} at the time. This was the same time frame that Bank of America was bailed out by us tax payers. It's no surprise that year they charged customers the same amount in overdraft fees as the amount they were bailed out with. It made me furious, but I felt I had no recourse, until I saw the news that you were going after them. If it's not too late for me to help in this situation, I'll give you anything you need to help.
