I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Paid off statement balance in full on XXXX2024. Was charged an interest fee of {$74.00} two days after paying off statement balance. Called Bank of America and was told they would review the fee on XXXX2024. Received email declining to refund the interest fee on XXXX/2024. Called XXXX2024, spoke with an associate and was transferred to a manager XXXX who explained that this interest is for the accrued interest for that month, that is not included on the statement balance, and that I should have called for a payoff amount to be sure that I paid off the interest. This is not stated on any of their statements or in the app when you pay your credit card bill. I believe this is incredibly misleading, as I thought interest accrued for the month IF the balance was not paid off and I understood that I should not be accruing paid interest when I paid off the balance that month. Again, no where is this stated that I can find and I feel this is another way of squeezing fees/interest out of people, even after they've paid off the statement balance on your credit card.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas, XXXX RE : Letter to remove inaccurate credit report information Dear Experian, There are several inaccuracies in the following accounts Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : The account number is missing. 
Account XXXX XXXX  The monthly payment is missing. 

I am demanding that these items be removed as your company failed to do an initial investigation on these items. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) the banking system is dependent upon credit reports being fair and accurate. The banks can not function without my consumer reports being accurate nor can I extend my credit for essential things. This grave error has undermined my confidence in the public and I am not able to use my consumer credit. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) ( 2 ) I never gave your permission to furnish a consumer report on my behalf nor did I give you written consent with my wet ink signature. You are supposed to have my permission to furnish this report and I never gave consent for you or any other person to furnish information on my behalf. I demand that you provide to me the original contracts for the above said accounts and I also demand you provide me a contract including my wet ink signature which gave your permission to furnish this information on my report. If you can not provide such documentation these items shall be blocked and removed from my consumer report. If the failure of such items are not blocked and removed, failure of your willful noncompliance can result in a lawsuit. You are harming my reputation and defaming my character by reporting inaccurate information and causing mental anguish and injury as I have been denied credit. I am expecting to get a home in a few months and this inaccuracy is causing me to be denied by lenders because it is reporting negative. I also demand you provide me with a sworn affidavit showing proof that I granted you permission to furnish a consumer report on my behalf with the failure of such information the above accounts shall be removed.

If Experian fails to make any reasonable procedures to resolve this matter and compensate me for the use of inaccurate information and privacy violations. I will indeed make Experian criminally and civilly liable for all actual damages pursuant to 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. 
I will also Follow up with an invoice for said violations ( { XXXX  } per violation. ) Thank you.

XXXX CARD SERVICES derogatory trade. 

Violation of Fair Credit reporting act 15 USC 1681 section 602, XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information is not shared. This is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers non public personal information. ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
