Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a notice form Bank of America stating that my mortagage would be increasing from XXXX to XXXX. There was an increase {$4.00} due to a tax increase. The remainder of the increase is stated as a shortage payment of XXXX per month and a reserve requirement of XXXX. When I called and asked why my payment was increasing, I was told there was a shortage in a reimbursement from changing insurance companies. I did change in XXXX of last year. I had to file a complaint against XXXX in order to receive my escrow payment back from them. I sent the escrow payment ( myslef ) to BOA. Which they received in XXXX. Since then I have been receiving paperwork from BAO regarding my house payment being late and advising that I file for bankruptcy ( Case number : XXXX ). Now this. BOA can not give me a succinct reason why my payment is increasing. They paid extra money to the insurance company because the received a request for payment ( they paid a total of {$1800.00}, but they ca n't state why. My insurance is XXXX per year. Then they sent me a refund of {$290.00} which I said I did not want and they said I had to cash the check. Now they say my escrow is negative Just that I have to pay the increased amount.

Consumer complaint: I bought some wine from a shop in XXXX, and B of A denied the charge because they " suspected fraud, '' and called us after the fact. It was a legitimate charge, and when told that with confirming information, they said they had released the hold. I told the vendor to re-submit, which they did, and it was denied again. It is embarrassing, unprofessional. and they should be criticized for it.

Consumer complaint: I had renters who paid rent through PayPal. When these XXXX moved out of my house, they called their banks and did fraudulent chargebacks to get their money back from Paypal. I can prove they did this and PayPal just let them do it after I showed PayPal all the evidence that I was a victim of fraud. PayPal told me I was responsible and is now sending me debt collection notices in the mail. I DO NOT owe this money. The XXXX who owe it are the boys who committed chargeback fraud through their banks.

Consumer complaint: I have an account with the Paypal service, the service works by allowing me to transfer money into an online account then pay for things online that accept Paypal payments. I have had this account for many years, and the way it always worked I had to wait for the bank to transfer the money into the Paypal account, it took between three and five days to complete my transfer of money, and if I did n't have the money in my paypal account I could not purchase anything with the account. I was using this account to pay for my phone bill with XXXX XXXX, I allowed XXXX XXXX to acces my Paypal to pay my bill monthly, I decided in XXXX of last year to stop the subscription on my XXXX XXXX phone, I attempted on line to cancel then went to my paypal and as a measure of insurance to cancel my Virgin subscription I made sure ther were insufficient funds in my account with Paypal. When a request came to my Paypal account from XXXX XXXX Paypal instead of refusing the payment since I had insufficient funds decided to go into my checking account without my permission and pay XXXX, and they did on the day they requested payment, I called Paypal and requested a copy of my authorization for Paypal to remove funds from my checking account without my direct or even my indirect consent, XXXX XXXX XXXX agreed toreturn XXXX of the XXXX payments that were made before I caught what they were doing, Paypal XXXX that there is no problem since they did not profit. I do not agree with their assessment that there is no problem, for XXXX this is a huge problem that they would give a company access to my checking account without my approval. for any reason, and that they not only transferred the money without my approval, but they did it in XXXX day, something they would n't do for me, and that Paypal even paid them when if I had put in a request for payment above my Paypal balance would be refused. I am so angry about their complete lack of respect for me as an individual and the courtesy they extend another company, even if they have to steal my money to make XXXX happy. I still have XXXX charge of {$44.00} that XXXX wo n't refund, and I think that Paypal not only owes me for that XXXX payment but I think there should be some form of punishment to Paypal for such an obvious overreach.

Consumer complaint: Since Ally Financial has taken over both my car loan and my husbands, we have had nothing but problems. When they took over for GMAC, I had no late fees on my account and then suddenlty with ALLY I continually have late fees. I have written them time and time again but to no avail. They now call all the time either for my husband and myself or just for my husband on my personal phone. I have sent them proof of payment any number of times but am continually harrassed with phone calls. They even attemped to have my car repossessed even though I had proof of payments. Now my husband has not received a statement from them since XXXX and now I am not receiving any statements for several months. Enough is enough. Almost every day I have to block their calls. 
Some agency needs to take a look at these poor financial practices by Ally. We never had problems with GMAC. I am sure that with all the late fees they tack on, my credit will be hurt. When I send them proof of payment, they never acknowledge anything.

Consumer complaint: I contacted this agency because they are stating that I owe a balance on behalf of their client. The client ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) went out of business. The hospital XXXX XXXX Hospital stated that they have nothing to do with Procollect and do not have a claim against me. I contacted the insurance company ( XXXX ) and they stated that they never received a claim for this alleged bill. I requested the name of the physician who has placed this bill in collections and Procollect would not provide that information. This company will not provide me with the original account information nor will they provide me with an account number. I believe that they are fraudulently trying to collect on old accounts that no longer exist. My name was previously XXXX and when I visited the hospital XXXX/XXXX/2015, I had full insurance through my employer who was XXXX at the time. I have never heard anything about this alleged bill or account until just recently.

Consumer complaint: After what I considered unfair treatment by XXXX, I had a credit card charge-off in XX/XX/2008. A few months ago, my wife was served papers for a lawsuit filed by a collection agency with my name and hers as defendants. More than six years had passed since the approximately {$7500.00} debt had been charged off, and now a debt collection agency in XXXX was suing me. I feel there are many problems with the suit, among them the amount of time since the charge-off, the fact that no attempt was made to contact me about paying the debt, my wife and I did not know each other at the time I incurred the debt and it was charged off, yet now she was named as a defendant, and I was never given the opportunity to 'have my day in court. ' I filed a response at the courthouse ( at a cost of almost {$300.00} XXXX, and was never granted the opportunity to plead my case. I heard from the law firm suing me that I lost and also that there was to be a hearing about garnishment, but all of these communications were sent ( I believe purposely ) to an incorrect address so that I would not receive them. Now my paycheck is being garnished, and I have never had the chance to speak in court. I do n't know what to do.

Consumer complaint: I am trying to remove my name from a home loan used by my ex wife for her business. I did not sign for this loan and have asked Bank of America to send me any document with my signature on the application process. I received XXXX documents from the bank ( 1 ) a power of attorney with my signature surrendering my interests to the house used for business as agreed upon in the divorce settlement. And ( 2 ) a loan document dated 5 days after my final divorce decree with my ex wife signing my name in reference to the aforementioned power of attorney. This power of attorney that I signed as agreed upon in the divorce stipulation simply surrenders all my claim to the property and has no stipulation for any past or future responsibility for the property. 
It is my understanding that any contract which does not have my signature is null and void and can not be enforced. This is not what I am asking the bank to do. The loan is not in default and is current in the payment schedule because this is used for business by my ex wife. I am merely asking the bank to remove my name from the loan and credit report. 
So far all I have received is requests for more time to do their investigation and I have been patiently waiting for a favorable resolution. But now they have shifted tactics and is making this an identity theft issue and requesting me for notarized statements and police reports. I submit that it is their lax loan approval process that lead to a loan being approved without proper signatures more than anything else.

Consumer complaint: I am Bank of America account holder who also has XXXX credit cards with Bank of America. I recently obtained a BankAmericard Cash Rewards card which was linked directly to my BoA online banking account. As I typically pay all my credit cards through the online system, I assumed this would be case with my cash rewards card. Not so. When I clicked on the 'make payment ' button, I was taken taken to the bill pay center but could not see my Cash rewards card listed with my other cards. There were no instructions on how to add a card. I 'd also signed up to ebilling but did not receive the bill through my email. As I was busy, I did not continue trying to figure it out until my payment was past due and was issued a {$25.00} late fee. I then called BankAmericard Cash Rewards card 800 number and the operator informed me that in order to register the card, I had to add Bank of America credit card as a company in the 'manage pay to accounts ' section. This is completely illogical. I am already in the Bank of America website and I am trying to pay them. There are no clear instructions on this page on how to do this and I do not believe a reasonable person would be able to determine that you had add Bank of America as a company in the bill pay center. Furthermore, I have XXXX existing credit cards with BoA that as far as I can remember did not ask me to do this. I also did not receive an ebill nor a written bill. This leads me to believe XXXX things. XXXX, this could be either be a deceptive practice by BankAmericard Cash Rewards to increase the likelihood of first time users incurring a fine because that can not easily determine how to make payment. Or XXXX, it could also just be very poor user experience design. Either way it is leading to unfair fees being levied on BoA customers.

Consumer complaint: Disputed a late fee due to no mailed statement received in XXXX of 2015. In early XXXX I requested a statement on there web site so I could pay my bill, I did not receive XXXX by mail. The statement was received electronically which I was not aware of and do not remember setting such a thing up or did it by mistake. I paid my bill as soon as I found out it was late less the {$25.00} late fee which at that time I placed a call and asked that the fee be disputed. They have since attached XXXX additional late fees and have attached a credit report " black mark ''.

Consumer complaint: We had been paying on a debt through the Collection Center in XXXX, Wyoming. We had been having automatic withdrawels out of my husbands bank account XXXX a month to pay on this debt. In XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX my husband had to have surgery so the payment in XXXX was the last XXXX we had made. We did call and was working with an agent at the collection center named XXXX who was working with us and understood our situation and new that just as soon as my husband went back to work we would continue paying this debt. Today we discovered my husbands bank account was XXXX. We called the bank and they informed us that the collection agency had garnished not only the checking but also the savings account. Which is double the amount of what we owe the collection agency to satisfy the debt. We called the collection agency and they informed us that because we had n't made a payment since XXXX they had put the garnishment against us. We have recieved no current court documentation regarding any garnishments or intent to garnish and also informed us that the agent we were working with had quit last month so they just took it upon themselves to file the garnishment which they said they used a judgement served upon us back in XX/XX/XXXX. My husband and myself feel that this has to be illegal somehow. We do n't understand, firstly how they can garnish his accounts based on a judgement from 8 years ago let alone garnish us in this matter after we have been faithful in payment up until my husbands surgery, and not to mention the fact that the bank account is now in overdraft for XXXX the amount owed, which they are denying but the bank statement we have clearly shows a negative balance for XXXX the amount. Please help us
