Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
About 6 or 8 weeks ago, I began receiving texts & emails saying that my Bank of America debit card was being charged for purchases that I wasn't making. I contacted Bank of America, they sent me a new card. The fraud continued. They sent me another card. I changed all my passwords, I changed my phone number. I have done everything possible from my end. They are currently sending me my XXXX new card. The fraud continues. I got an email today saying that BOA authorized a XXXX payment. I initiated no such payment. I called BOA for the hundredth time, I can't stop these payments to people I don't know because I can't get into my account anymore, the person or people hacking me have changed my online profile. 
Bank of America was absolutely NO help at all. 
I called the XXXX XXXX police department, they suggested that I contact you. 
On a positive note, in the email I received just an hour or so ago about the XXXX payment, there were names & a phone number. 
Apparently the people hacking me are : XXXX XXXX, his number is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, email address XXXX I am at my wit 's end. I have been dealing with this for 2 months, it is ruining my credit, I can't pay my bills ( which I mainly did by auto-pay ). My BOA account is frozen ( to me ), and BOA apparently have no idea how to stop this, even though I have asked them to repeatedly. 
Please help!

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
The company is Bank of America and, in short, they are not in compliance with the Card Act of 2009 which requires that extra payments ( beyond minimums ) are to be applied to the highest APR interest rate regardless of balances.

They have the exact opposite policy. I have a high balance on cash advance. They say the amount of my total bill subject to cash advance interest rate ( 28.24 % ) is {$13000.00} and are charging me an additional {$320.00} ( as of XXXX ) each month... it goes higher each month because the amount of interest they charge is added to the balance. The total amount of cash advances I have made on this card, since the last time it was at zero is {$11000.00}. If you adjust for cash equivalency fees and the fees charged by the organization where I took the CA the total is {$12000.00}. 

I have a balance of {$3200.00} in purchases. They are paying off that balance first with anything extra I provide. 

The Cash advance balance is going up every month. Due to the higher interest rate my overall minimum due has gone up every month even when I don't charge to the card.

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
