Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
My credit card was fraudulently charged for several transactions that I did not authorize. These charges were not made by me, nor did I give anyone permission to use my card. I live in XXXX XXXX, XXXX, but the transactions occurred in Texas, a state where I have no personal or business connections. 

The fraudulent charges are as follows : XX/XX/2024 : {$200.00} at XXXX in XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( store # XXXX ) XX/XX/2024 : {$200.00} at XXXX in XXXX, XXXX  ( store # XXXX ) XX/XX/2024 : {$1.00} at XXXX  XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, XXXX I have disputed these charges with my bank three times, but each time my claim was denied. The bank claims that my PIN was used for these transactions, but this is impossible as I was not in XXXX at the time, nor did I authorize these purchases. I have requested detailed information about these transactions, including the specific locations and transfer details, but the bank has not provided this information. 

I am seeking CFPBs assistance to resolve this issue and help me get a refund for these unauthorized charges.
