Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently reported a plethora of unauthorized charges to bank of america via the usage of my debit card that begin XXXX reported XX/XX/23 once I noticed the low balance as the charges totaled {$2400.00} via XXXX XXXX. I also reported it via XXXX XXXX as well. I requested bank of america block any future transactions and they cancelled the debit card attached, I had not heard anything else from them, nor did they request any additional information, however I then find out on XX/XX/XXXX  the morning of that they denied my claim, for an unmerited reason, now I have to still pay my rent because that was my rental payment and am now facing eviction. I am a compliance manager and I even reached out to XXXX XXXX to also file a dispute - BOA indicated based off prior statements or activity- and conducted no investigation as any prior authorized transactions weren't disputed or refuted, However I DID NOT authorized the charges in which I remitted a complaint about, only to be told they could not confirm an error. I feel it is completely unethical and unfair and I know they've had tons of complaints and lawsuits of unethical practices, but I refuse to allow this to occur to me and intend on fighting this tooth and nail as I know this is unfair. Their response was they are unable to approve my claim Our research included the information you provided with your claim, your account history, the monthly account statements we sent you and if available, information from the merchant, such as a signed receipt or contract smh

Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a home in XXXX XXXX for {$150000.00} with a loan amount of {$120000.00}. This made my original LTV 85 %. I am current on all payments and have never had a payment over 30 days past due. My principal balance fell below 78 % of the original purchase price in XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached statement from Flagstar Bank from XXXX showing principal balance of {$110000.00} which is 77.9 % of the original purchase price ). 

It has been over 12 months since my loan balance fell below 78 % of the original purchase price and Flagstar has not only failed to automatically drop my PMI payment, they have actively refused to do so. I have called three times requesting PMI be removed, and each time the representative has refused.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have continuously and tirelessly tried to get my credit report from Equifax. According to the agent today XXXX  my address and phone number is correct on my file but upon trying to gain access to my report Equifax System still informs me that the information I enter into their system is incorrect which declines XXXX and XXXX or fico 3 bureau reports from being obtained and i have a subscription for XXXX  with XXXX. I spoke with a representative and was informed today the reason for my data not being updated is because i have not furnished my Driver Lic. and my social security card. So eventhough creditors are updating my information its not being updated. Not one time in my entire life had i had to send a bureau my personal credentials of a social security number or Drivers license to update my address on my report. Yet nothing is being updated but they are quick to update negative accounts but not the positive accounts. This seems sketchy and i have already been a victim of identity theft and this will not be another case of what i just went through. I have login credentials to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. This is insane, but if you asked an agent when was my fraud alert lifted, they would say this week. Make it make sense. Today, Equifax needs to update my report. I'm not understanding how i can login and make changes on my report but have to send in and ID and SS for updates to happen on my report. Make it make sense. I have uploaded the documents needed to prove i am me to cfpb but sending my social security number to a non governmental agency is not acceptable for me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Since last XX/XX/2023, I have tried to solve a problem with an account called XXXX, which unfortunately the experian company has repeatedly completely abused the information it must present as a credit agency. 

On repeated occasions I have requested that the information they are sharing in my credit report regarding this account is inaccurate, so I have demanded that this information be modified, and deleted from my credit report. but I have not had any satisfactory response from them. 

I have made this dispute more than 5 times demanding the same information, and the experian company only sends a report to before 30 days explaining that the information is verified and confirmed and as it can be shown in the attached documents this information is not accurate and corrected so I ask that some action already a little more severe be taken regarding this company. 

I have too many disputes trying to solve this problem with my account, demanding that the experian company please verify the disputed information and do not share information saying that the information was verified and authenticated when reviewing the attached documents you can see the inaccurate or incomplete information.

Complaint narrative:
Approx XX/XX/XXXX, I received emails with denials for an application of credit for a vehicle or refinancing a vehicle. One after another they kept coming. I had not applied for credit, so this throw a red flag. Then I start receiving letters for the denial seeing my credit score falls below XXXX based on these inquiries and denials. So, I called XXXX first, they told me they had an credit application for financing or refinancing, whoever they informed me that they received my information from XXXX XXXX XXXX, not knowing why when I have never given them either permission to nor have I applied for anything dealing with a vehicle or refinancing. Both companies pushed the blame on each other and then finally said they received the information from XXXX XXXX, which I never gave them either permission or authorization to run or share my credit information and adverse effect my credit score. XXXX XXXX was not willing to provide me any information on how they received my approval to run my credit and why it was shared with XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without my knowledge. I spoke with a Rep at XXXX XXXX, who was passing on my request or email with the application of this alleged credit application, she said her supervisor 's name was XXXX was going to be the one to provide a email with that requested proof of an application as of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I still have not received anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX giving them approval to access my credit file. They all seem to point to finger at XXXX XXXX who I never gave permission to access my personal information and if so please provide that proof, this is a pure sign of fraud and I would like ALL credit inquiries from each of the companies that illegally obtain my credit information to be REMOVED from ALL three credit reporting agencies.

I have already sent mail out and it has been over 30 DAYS before I received a response which now means the credit reporting agency is now in VIOLATION of my consumer financial rights!
