Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Tower Loan of Mississippi, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear TOWER LOAN, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri state laws pertaining to identity theft and consumer protection. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that TOWER LOAN has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law provides protection against identity theft and unauthorized use of personal information, including the misuse of credit reporting data. Missouris Identity Theft Law ( RSMo 570.223 ) criminalizes the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, and failure to comply with such protections may also be considered a violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act ( RSMo 407 ), which addresses unfair and deceptive business practices.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for TOWER LOAN to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for both federal and state laws.

I demand that TOWER LOAN immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouris Identity Theft Law. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including Missouris statutes on identity theft and consumer fraud. 

Obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that TOWER LOAN will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Can't stop withdrawals from your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After being transferred to four different departments, hung up on twice on two different days, including being hung up on by the department that was supposed to handle the concern. I am nowhere near getting our money returned to our personal account as it was an unauthorized withdrawal of funds from a personal account to pay for a business credit card account payment. The statement date indicated on the statement, including the past due amount, was not due until XX/XX/XXXX the amount was withdrawn on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In the department that I was told to contact ( Collections XXXX, XXXX XXXX, was the Bank of America supervisor I spoke with ) to get an offset reversal. She denied the reversal and indicated that they were authorized to withdraw those funds because they included it in the terms of our credit card agreement. I asked them to explain the withdrawal and provide any relevant terms from the agreement that allowed them to do this. She stated that they do not provide written responses and that the information was on the website. I told her that she could not hold us to an agreement that we do not know of, and have not signed in agreement with. Therefore, I asked for written confirmation from the bank outlining the reasons for the withdrawal and citing the specific clauses in our business credit card agreement. She declined. I requested a refund because the withdrawal was unauthorized. She declined. The credit card statement indicated that the amount ( including the past amount due ) was due on XX/XX/XXXX. However, the amount was withdrawn from our account on XX/XX/XXXX without our knowledge or authorization. I also asked for the funds to be returned while they review the situation because they did not provide notification of this withdrawal, and/or indicate the clause within the agreement that allowed them to do this. She declined. When I asked her to transfer me to her supervisor, she remained silent on the phone for about five minutes and then hung up the phone.

Complaint narrative:
The mortgage company refuses to stop withholding escrow. They transferred our loan to another division in their company so that they would not have to evaluate our mortgage. We submitted to them a letter stating we are except from taxes and they sent us a check for all of our taxes at the end of the year ( XXXX  ) so they know we have an exemption on file, in addition they refuse to pay our insurance so we have to pay for it on a monthly basis out directly to the insurance company and they send the information to the mortgage company letting them know we pay them directly. They refuse to discuss with us why they are still collecting escrow and where is the escrow money going. They are just collecting additional money from us without any reason or rationale. We are XXXX month behind and they are threatening foreclosure even though they have more than more than XXXX mortgage in escrow that doesn't belong to them.

On XX/XX/year> {$720.00} an instant transfer of {$720.00} was completed and transferred to the fraudulent debit card. I have offered several times to provide a copy of the police report. I have contacted Robinhood several times. Each time I have had to continue the conversation via email upload my valid ID and take a selfie so they can verify my identity. However, they allowed a fraudulent debit card to be linked to my account and withdraw funds without verification of identity. I have requested several times that my funds be returned and they do not want to return my funds. They are NOT taking the safety of their clients into account. There should be the same safety measures taken for the withdrawal of funds as there is to have a conversation with a representative. Robinhood is not willing to take any responsibility for the lack of security measures in place to withdraw funds.
