Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have recently reviewed my consumer disclosure provided by XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and noticed I was reported for " suspected fraud activity '' by Bank of America. I do not have a bank account with Bank of America and never did in more than 10 years. The account showing on the reported information was not opened by me and I am not responsible for any activity on that account. I am very concerned that Bank of America would allow someone to open a bank account without my verifiable identity information or my consent. I was aware that my information was fraudulently used last year without my knowledge to open a few accounts with various institutions and I have worked with those vendors, and they have closed those accounts upon concluding that I wasn't the one that solicited those services. My credit reports with the 3 credit bureaus is clear. However, I had never been contacted by Bank of America regarding the existence of this account or the supposed fraudulent activity until I saw it on my XXXX report after being denied opening a bank account for my business.

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: TX

Complaint narrative:
My checking account was hacked through the use of a cloned ATM card issued through Bank of America. Over {$1400.00} unauthorized charges were made on my card. In addition, on XXXX occasions someone deposited a payroll check for {$600.00} in my account which did not have my name anywhere on it. This was XX/XX/XXXX. But on XX/XX/XXXX, the bank reversed the deposit because of fraud. Then the same check was deposited again on XX/XX/XXXX and reversed on XX/XX/XXXX. The person had to be in possession of a cloned card because my card was NOT stolen to my knowledge. But someone made charges and withdrawals which were out of character for my account. Although the charges may have been seemingly legitimate, they were not made or authorized by me. The temporary credits Bank of America made were all reversed on XX/XX/XXXX. That account had already been made deposit only and a new checking account and ATM card was issued. Because it takes 2 months for a change in direct deposit, my social security and XXXX XXXX check are still deposited in the old account until XXXX. With the negative status of my old account, my entire XXXX XXXX check was absorbed. Also my payments for life insurance, car insurance and several utilities were reversed. With only funds from my Social Security check available, I was able to pay my rent of {$910.00} leaving me only {$16.00} for the month. At he age of XXXX, maintaining my life insurance policy is critical to my financial stability. 
Bank of America said I authorized or gave my card to someone to create those charges. But no me is authorized on my account. I have been a good customer for over a decade. Nothing like this has ever occurred before. This financial status is a threat to my health. As a XXXX year XXXX survivor, require medical equipment and medication to deal with damage from XXXX. 
I do not suffer from XXXX or XXXX. I know my card was always in my possession. So a cloned card is the actual culprit. I need my claim reinstated and all funds including my XXXX XXXX check must be returned so I can correct my financial situation. A Bank of America representative said to get a loan. How can I get a loan with a balance of less than {$20.00} and no further deposits until XXXX.
