Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute on Monday XX/XX/year> to Experian due to the error they were reporting. They did not do a proper investigation and returned an answer today that item meets the requirements of the FCRA. However, I submitted a dispute to them, notifying them of the : In early 2025, a new federal rule went into effect that prohibits medical debt from being included on credit reports. This means that unpaid medical bills, including those sent to collections, will no longer negatively impact an individual 's credit score. The rule, finalized by the CFPB, also prevents lenders from using medical debt information when making credit decisions.

And they IGNORED THIS and continue to report anyway. I was of the understanding this is one of the reasons why Experian was being audited because of this negligence of properly investigating a report. 

The account is XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Affairs, I am submitting this formal complaint against Bank of America for the unauthorized withdrawal of {$13000.00} from my personal bank account, which the bank applied toward a fraudulent business credit card account that I did not open, authorize, or recognize. Bank of America has been unable to validate that the business credit card belongs to me, and the account does not appear on my credit report in any form. 

Despite multiple demands for an explanation, documentation, or return of funds, Bank of America has refused to provide proof of my connection to this business account and has refused to return the money taken from my personal account. I contacted XXXX XXXX, the banks regulatory representative, multiple times and received no response whatsoever. 

As a permanently disabled individual, I believe Bank of America exploited my vulnerable status, especially after I received a legal settlement for my disability. The lack of transparency, refusal to cooperate, and wrongful debiting of my funds constitute clear violations of federal consumer protection laws, disability rights, and banking regulations.

Violations Committed by Bank of America : 1. Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) Regulation E Bank of America violated EFTA by initiating an unauthorized electronic debit from my personal bank account. Under federal law, they were required to investigate my dispute within 45 days and return the funds if unauthorized. They failed to comply and provided no resolution.

2. Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) The bank applied funds to a credit card account that is not mine and was opened fraudulently. They failed to verify the account holder, provide billing statements, or give me any chance to dispute the charges all required protections under the FCBA.

3. Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices ( UDAAP ) Under the Dodd-Frank Act, financial institutions are prohibited from engaging in deceptive or abusive behavior. Taking funds from a personal account to pay a business credit card the consumer did not open and then refusing to validate the debt or return the funds is a textbook case of abuse.

4. Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) Bank of Americas refusal to accommodate my disability and their failure to provide support or assistance despite my repeated disclosures violates the ADA. Their actions or inaction show a willful neglect of their obligation to reasonably accommodate disabled consumers.

5. State Consumer Protection Laws In addition to federal violations, Bank of America has likely broken state laws concerning unauthorized debits, fiduciary duty, and banking practices, depending on jurisdiction.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I have previously disputed with Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
