Complaint narrative:
I went through financial hardship. Account went into collections. I paid the collection amount off. The company stated they would remove it off all credit bureaus. Now on my credit report, it shows a payment status of " Collection/Chargeoff ''. This is false information since this has been paid off. If a debt is listed as charged off when it has been paid in full or settled, it is considered inaccurate information and violates the FCRA. Credit reporting agencies must update information on a credit report to reflect accurate changes, including when a debt is paid off or settled. Please see attachment.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

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.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

I respectfully request that this account be reinvestigated for accuracy. The inconsistencies are affecting my financial opportunities and costing me thousands of dollars in interest.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have had a mortgage with Bank of America, loan number XXXX for many years. My taxes and insurance for the property are not escrowed, so I pay my insurance premiums directly to my insurance company every year. I have never missed a mortgage payment and have kept the property fully insured with fire, flood and windstorm policy.

Last year I decided not to renew the windstorm p
olicy as the premium had dramatically increased and decided to self insure. At the time, I did not believe windstorm insurance was required by the bank because every year I was required to prove I had a fire and flood policy, but not a windstorm policy. 
In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I received a notice from Bank of America dated XX/XX/XXXX advising windstorm insurance was required and if I did not get a windstorm policy, one would be purchased for me at my expense. I immediately purchased a windstorm policy and Bank of America sent me a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX thanking me for renewing my windstorm policy and confirming the policy met their requirements. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter, dated XX/XX/XXXX, from Bank of America advising that due to a lapse in coverage from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX they would have to purchase a policy at a cost of {$100.00}, unless I could prove I was insured for that time period. 
As that time period was in the past and no loss occurred, it certainly was not necessary for them to purchase a policy and charge me for it. 
I called Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX to dispute this charge without any resolution. I asked the representative I spoke with to escalate this matter so I could get a resolution and she refused to do so. As of the date of this complaint, the bank still intends to charge me the {$100.00} and no one from the bank has contacted me. 
For the bank to threaten to purchase a policy for a 38 day lapse in coverage in the past which occurred 8 months ago is totally unacceptable. There was no loss to the bank, the property is now fully insured and all mortgage payments have been made on time. 
I am requesting that Bank of America stop immediately from purchasing this policy and charging me for it.
