Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. On XX/XX/22, I sent a letter for an inaccurate account on my credit report but I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. Equifax shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in my file at Equifax is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that this account be corrected immediately or I will file for litigation.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I bought concert tickets by credit card on XXXX XXXX XXXX and they refuse to refund right after I paid. The XXXX claimed that when purchasing, I have accepted the terms that the tickets are non-refundable. However, I never signed a document to agree that. I went through the buying process again and there's nowhere that I need to check to agree the terms. 

XXXX has bad record on CFPB website. Obviously, they still did not follow below two requirement. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX  - The defendants must affirmatively disclose that : their websites are resale marketplaces and not venues or box offices ; the ticket price may exceed the tickets face value ; and the website is not owned by the venue, sports team, performer, or promoter ; - XXXX must require all partners to sign written contracts promising to adhere to the order, and must take disciplinary action when partners violate the order and appropriately handle consumer complaints about venue confusion ; and Therefore, I dispute this transaction from Bank of America XXXX However, BOA said they could not pursue my dispute further because : - We're unable to obtain credit ( s ) for a service, or delivery of merchandise, that's scheduled to occur at a future date. Please contact us if the merchant fails to perform the service ( s ), or deliver the merchandise, after the scheduled timeframe ( s ) has elapsed. If available, please provide documentation from the merchant to support that they have no intention of rendering the service or delivering the merchandise in the future. 
- We understand you weren't satisfied with the quality of the service the merchant provided ; however, the merchant has the right to request payment for any services that were rendered. 

Since the event is not coming yet, I believe I had the right to return the ticket at the time I bought the ticket ( which hadn't been sold and the transaction hadn't completed ).

I specifically requested a response, in writing, indicating that MOHELA requested a refund for all payments made on all XXXX loans. In response, MOHELA provided in writing that they are only acknowledging the XXXX open loans disbursed between XXXX and XXXX in the request. They have specifically omitted the XXXX loans I paid off. 

The XXXX loans disbursed in XXXX and XXXX that were paid off during the XXXX payment pause were paid off while my loans were serviced by XXXX. ( My loans were transferred to MOHELA in XX/XX/XXXX ). I contacted XXXX to request a refund from them, but they referred me to my current servicer MOHELA.
