Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the ( TransUnion ) credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 


I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report two fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO TransUnion credit report, which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX and another credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent chargeoffs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or chargeoffs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, and charge-offs are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Complaint narrative:
" 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. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against Bank of America for Unauthorized Account Closure and Mismanagement I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Bank of America regarding the unauthorized closure of my checking and credit card accounts without prior notice or sufficient explanation. This action has caused me significant inconvenience and financial losses. 

Details of the Incident 1. Unauthorized Account Closure - My checking account and two associated credit card accounts were closed by the bank without providing me with any advance warning or valid reason. 
- When I inquired at a bank branch, I was told the closure was due to " long-term inactivity, '' despite the fact that I made a deposit of {$1200.00} into my checking account and used it to pay my credit card bill in XXXX of this year. 

2.Failure to Process Instructions- On [ specific date ], I visited a Bank of America branch to deposit {$2000.00} in cash into my checking account. I explicitly instructed the teller to deposit the cash into my checking account first and then use it to make payments of {$1000.00} each to my two credit cards. 
- Instead, the teller deposited the cash directly into the credit card accounts without informing me that my checking account had already been closed. 

3. Lack of Communication and Notification - At no point did Bank of America notify me about the closure of my accounts or provide any opportunity for me to address or contest the decision. 

Impact of the Bank 's Actions - Financial Loss : I incurred financial losses, including potential late fees and penalties, as I was unaware of my accounts ' closure and could not manage my payments properly. 
- Emotional Distress** : The lack of communication and mishandling of my funds caused significant frustration and stress. 
- Credit Impact** : The closure of my credit card accounts may have adversely affected my credit score and financial reputation. 


Supporting Documentation I am prepared to provide documentation of my account activity, deposit receipts, and any other relevant records upon request to support my complaint. 

I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that Bank of America adheres to fair and transparent banking practices. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. Please let me know if additional information or documentation is required.
