Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On my letter to this credit bureau, I requested an investigation on several accounts I found on my credit report. I appreciate this bureaus effort to satisfy my dispute but there is still an account that remained incorrectly, inaccurately and incompletely reported. XXXX Ref : XXXX has not been updated in years. Last that it was updated was 2013. I 've already paid off this account last year and it was never updated. The payment history is incomplete. They are not showing that the item was disputed. The account opened date is inaccurate and not the same with the other bureaus. They do not show till when this account will be reporting. These are completely violating the law.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I have two accounts - personal and business. I have also a credit card from Bank of America. XX/XX/XXXX was the due date of the credit card. I deposited {$110.00} the same day and made {$25.00} dollars payment towards the credit card, later that day. I told an employee of the bank that I deposited {$110.00} and not to charge me any fee. She told me that she could see the amount but she said, '' it is not posted, your are not going to be charged late fees ''. Meanwhile, I transferred {$12.00} or {$11.00} dollars from one account, in case to avoid late fee charges. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called credit card unit of the bank and asked the reason of the balance never reducing, in spite of my regular payments. 

A lady told me that my credit card balance is not reduced, because, '' first, there is a late fee, second, out of $ XXXX monthly payment, {$10.00} is interest charge and the rest {$15.00} reduces the card balance. '' My argument is this : The bank confirmed that there was a deposited check of, {$110.00} that day, on XX/XX/XXXX, but added a late fee. The reason was the bank did not post the depot, the same day, and I was charged {$25.00} dollars late fee. I think, it is unfair and unreasonable to penalize the customer for its own short fall, not posting the deposit. 
I am writing this, it is not because of {$25.00} dollars significance but, to bring to the surface the absence of fairness and good business practice.

Company: CURO Intermediate Holdings
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Speedy Cash # XXXX sued me around XX/XX/XXXX. We went to court and had a hearing where I filed a Motion to Dismiss, there was a scheduling order and Defendant 's First Request for Production of Documents and A Journal Entry with Dismissal by the Petitioner Attorney  XXXX XXXX. Around XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from Attorney  XXXX XXXX asking if I would like to settle. We reached a settlement where he would pay me {$16.00} and remove this debt from all three credit reporting agencies. The mysterious thing is that XXXX XXXX sued me, but a debt collection agency owned by Attorney XXXX XXXX named XXXX is reporting the debt to the credit bureaus. I wrote two letters to XXXX XXXX and one to XXXX XXXX. I wrote and disputed with the credit bureaus and showed my proof that there was a settlement and the case was dismissed by Attorney XXXX. I have all the paperwork and evidence. I have NEVER received the {$16.00} from Attorney  XXXX nor has the wrongful credit reporting ceased. XXXX is still reporting this debt, ruining my credit, when the case was settled and dismissed in XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
We used XXXX XXXX XXXX service to advertise a B2B service of our company. After getting wrong calls, for example someone calling to order a fast food package, or printing puzzles, etc, I called XXXX to complain on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The representative, which by the way was recorded, said that since I wold have no control over the keywords in XXXX, we should switch to XXXX from XXXX XXXX. I said ok, and that we need help in cancelling the account and help with signing up with their other service. I never heard back from that representative, which I was hoping will be via email or phone call. After a few days, I noticed that we were still being charged and that the amount was increasing without our consent. So I complained to Wells Fargo, and was assured help with this dispute. Then, today I got a call from their dispute department saying that they have received a letter from XXXX that all my claims are untrue and that I have only until Monday to help provide proof. I told the representative that I have the calls recorded that will prove that I complained that I was told I have no control over my XXXX account. But the Wells Fargo rep kept saying we can not use that. If I can not than it is very unfair that I am not being given a chance to prove that I tried resolving the matter with the merchant and the credit card company.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/2018, I went online and was asked to update my personal information. For the first time, Bank of America is now asking a new " required '' question, " Do you have dual citizenship? '' I have told them that I am a US citizen and that I am living here in the United States. I see no reason to answer this question and am offended that they are even asking it. When I called to ask them what was the legal basis of why they were asking this question, they responded that they had to verify my identity, my citizenship and my residency per US government regulations. I told them that I have provided them with all of that information and that it was none of their business whether I am a dual citizen because I am a natural-born US citizen who was born and raised in the United States and that I hold a US passport and currently reside in the United States. As I explained repeatedly to the customer service representative, whether I am a dual citizen should have absolutely no bearing on them providing me financial services because I am a US citizen. I also told them that I was going to refuse to confirm or deny whether I have dual citizenship and that it is possible that I may not even know one way or the other because citizenship is determined by each country  individually. I find it highly offensive and potentially in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that they are even asking me this question. They have informed me that I can currently ignore the request but that if I do not answer it, eventually my access to online banking could be cut off. As it turns out, I am unable to update any of the other pieces of information because they consider the dual citizenship question to be " required ''
