Complaint narrative:
Sent letter to company to validate alleged debt on XX/XX/XXXX. Company reported to credit bureau account was accurate dis regarding laws on XX/XX/XXXX I am filing a complaint regarding the verification process of a debt, noting apparent violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 and Section 623, along with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) Section 312. The verification of this debt seems to have disregarded FCRA regulations, and there have been clear violations in reporting inaccurate debt without proper verification as mandated by these sections.

Under FCRA Section 611 ( 5 U.S.C 1681i ), I am entitled to a proper investigation into the accuracy of reported debts upon request, which, in this case, was not adequately fulfilled. Furthermore, FACTA Section 312 emphasizes the accuracy and integrity of information reported to credit bureaus, requiring diligent verification to prevent inaccurate reporting.

This failure to provide requested information and validate the debt raises significant concerns about compliance with FCRA guidelines. Non-compliance could result in misleading and unjust repercussions on my credit standing.

I urgently request immediate action to rectify this matter. I will attach the original documents I provided for your review. According to FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) and FACTA Section 312, inaccurate information must be promptly corrected or removed from the credit report, and any debt found to have violated verification requirements should be dissolved.

I implore swift resolution in alignment with these FCRA and FACTA statutes to ensure fair and accurate credit reporting practices are followed. If you'`re unable to perform a reasonable investigation, or you're unable to locate the necessary documents to investigate my dispute ; then you are required by the FCRA to remove the negative information from my credit reports, which can also include complete removal of the account. Furthermore, per FCRA Mandates, it is required that this misinformation be forevermore blocked from re-reporting attempts, now or in the future by your company and/or any entity. 
Sent to Credit bureaus as well.

Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My husband, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I recently ( 9/23 ) opened a HELOC with Bank of the West ( Which has then since been acquired by BM O, NA ). The Bank never sent us ( either via mail or e-mail ) any statement pertaining to any outstanding balance.

I later found out that we were 60 days late on payment
from the Credit Bureaus. We immediately contacted the bank ( now BMO ). They informed us that these statements had been deposited to our online access space, of which I was unaware as the Bank of the West had been acquired by BMO and they were still transitioning to a new " unfamiliar '' user interface. 

Suffice to say that I paid the outstanding balance the same day and put the future payments to " auto-debit ''. I have thus far contacted the Bank and even my relationship XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, but to no avail. We have never ever been late or defaulted on any Bank obligation thus far and I find this instance and lack their response to our concerns rather malicious.
