On XX/XX/2023 my wife 's wallet was stolen. Multiple credit cards were in there, and were used for fraudulent transactions. All other credit card transactions were accepted as fraud by other financial institutions, but Bank Of America is denying my claim ( see attached resolution letters ). 

I reported this through my bank 's mobile app as being fraudulent charges within a couple hours of the fraud. I couldn't mark it immediately as I was in an area with very limited cellular reception. 

After a couple of days, they denied the fraud claim. I called them, I faxed them the police report, and they reopened the case. A week latere, they denied the claim again. 

I have a police report where we reported the theft of the wallet, and even have GPS tracking of our location for that time given we were doing a hike during the time of the transaction. XXXX  : XXXX I suggested sharing this with Bank Of America over the phone, but they were not interested. 

I'm looking for a refund of the fraudulent transaction.

Please be advised that you are attempting to collect on an expired debt. I am invoking my right to cease you, based on factual law that this debt in question is legally expired under the Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations in the state of Texas is 4 years. The account was opened XXXX. This account and debt should have been ceased as of XXXX. Accordingly, I am requesting that you do not attempt to collect this expired debt, and should you seek legal recourse I will invoke my right of the expired statute as a valid defense I expect the following account to be deleted from my credit report within 7 days : JPMCB CARD XXXX. Your company is not only in violation of FCRA violations for trying to collect on an expired debt, but you are also reporting inconsistent information to the credit reporting agencies when all data furnished should be complete and accurate. How are you reporting different payment history, balances, and date last active for the same account? This is clear negligence, defamation of character, and gross misconduct. Please take notice that I must receive a corrected copy of my credit report with the changes I have outlined within five ( 7 ) business days from receipt of this letter, or I will be forced to take legal actions under the FCRA, seeking damages for loss of credit and for the mental anguish your organization has caused me. Because of your violation of the FCRA 's time frame on such timely responses, it is safe to believe that the information I have disputed has been corrected and all negative data have been removed from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
This is an issue I am having with paying my student loans. I have paid an amount from my bank account that is not being applied to my loans, and is not reflected on the EdFinancial site. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$6000.00} from my XXXX XXXX account into my subsidized loans. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, {$3.00} was applied to " XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX '' XXXX. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, {$1900.00} was also applied to " XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX '' XXXX. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, {$280.00} was applied to " XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX '' XXXX. 

A total of {$2200.00} was applied as a payment to my student loans on EdFinancial Services. 

There is a difference of {$3700.00} ( {$6000.00} applied minus the {$2200.00} reflected on EDFinancials site ) that is missing, and that has not been applied to my loans, but should have been applied. 

I have reached out to my bank at XXXX, and received confirmation that the {$6000.00} amount was correctly sent to, and received by EdFinanical.

I am happy to provide account info, screenshots, etc., in order to help resolve and apply the missing funds to my account.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am contacting you in hopes to successfully dispute an account since I have already reached out to the collection agency on XX/XX/year>. I mailed them a letter requesting validation of the collection. They responded by mailing a letter telling me that the collection was verified without any documents with my signature or any other further evidence. However, I need to have this removed because it violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by using misleading representations and unfair and deceptive practices in the attempted collection of a debt.
