Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo incorrectly reported a delinquency on my account after their system unexpectedly disabled my automatic payments. I had been enrolled in auto-pay and never turned it off. When Wells Fargos system blanked out my auto-pay settings, the scheduled payment failed without my knowledge.

This error caused a late payment to be reported to the credit bureaus, negatively affecting both my credit and my wifes, as we are joint account holders. We have never had a delinquency before this issue. Once we discovered the problem, we immediately brought the account current. 

I am requesting that Wells Fargo correct this error and remove the delinquency from both credit reports.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Bank of America regarding an unresolved dispute involving unauthorized and undelivered services connected to payments made from both my personal and business checking accounts, including XXXX transactions. 

I filed a dispute after making payments to a contracting company that was supposed to perform renovation work for our new business location. The company, which presented itself as an Irish contracting business, received payments through both check and XXXX to XXXX XXXX, but never completed or even began the agreed-upon work. After realizing the company had vanished and this was a likely scam, I immediately contacted Bank of America to report the issue and file a dispute. 

During the process, a Bank of America customer service representative informed me that disputes are honored up to XXXX years from the transaction date. I relied on that statement and submitted all the requested documentation accordingly. Despite this, the dispute was mishandled multiple times. Bank of America repeatedly asked for additional documents but then closed my case before the deadlines they themselves had given. Each time I called, I was transferred between departments and representatives who seemed confused or uninformed about my case history. 

I have been a Bank of America customer since 2002, holding both personal and business accounts, and I have always been a loyal client. I am very disappointed with the way this situation was handled. The repeated case closures, misinformation, and poor communication have caused financial loss and significant frustration. As a long-standing customer, I expected Bank of America to handle this matter with more care, transparency, and professionalism.
