Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of a scam in which I was instructed to deposit a check at a Bank of America branch. I physically handed the check to a teller, and BoA credited my account. Based on this, I sent funds out. The check later bounced, and BoA reversed the creditbut instead of recognizing their role in processing a fake item, they also seized my pre-existing account balance, which had nothing to do with the scam. 

I filed a police report and an IC3 complaint ( Report # XXXX ). BoA has denied my claim and refuses to restore my original money, treating the total account loss as my responsibility. Im not asking for scam reimbursementIm demanding restitution of the money I already had in the account before the scam.

This represents a failure of deposit verification and a harmful, unfair banking practice.

What resolution I want : Return of my pre-scam account balance Written explanation of how the bank handles these losses Assurance this wont impact my credit once they remove the negative balance from that debit account from BOFA

Company: Klarna AB
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Klarna 's apparent violation of multiple federal consumer protection laws in their handling of my loan application on XX/XX/2025. Despite providing valid, current identification documentation, the company declined my application citing 'failure to verify identity ' without providing any meaningful explanation, opportunity for clarification, or dispute process. This action appears to violate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) by potentially employing discriminatory practices in identity verification that may disproportionately impact certain protected classes, and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to provide required adverse action notices that would allow me to understand and dispute the basis for their decision. Additionally, their refusal to provide a clear path for identity verification or dispute resolution may constitute unfair and deceptive practices under the Consumer Financial Protection Act. The lender 's blanket rejection of valid government-issued identification without reasonable accommodation or alternative verification methods suggests systematic compliance failures that deny consumers basic due process rights in credit decisions. I demand immediate correction of this decision, implementation of proper adverse action procedures, and assurance that the lender will comply with all applicable federal lending regulations. Additionally, the retailer on which I attempted to make a purchase using Klarna ( XXXX ) offered a {$50.00} coupon when using Klarna as a payment method. I demand restitution in the amount of {$50.00} to cover actual damages from the erroneous denial.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

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 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.
