Consumer complaint: I have a Bank of America- Visa Credit Card XXXX This card had a balance of {$2800.00} in XXXX XXXX. Because I was going to be traveling for 6 months into XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I requested the monthly Visa payments be automatically deducted from my checking account which is also with Bank of America. I completed the automatic payment request with XXXX, at the XXXX XXXX XXXX of Bank of America located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Az XXXX. XXXX assured me that it was all set up with the payment arrangement of {$100.00} to be deducted automatically every month. We confirmed this with the Credit Card Department which received the information that same day XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Keep in mind I was traveling -- Bank of America mailed me a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating they were unable to deduct my monthly payment because the credit card account has a closed status. So, for 6 months the payment was not automatically charged as agreed -- -and I became delinquent on the Visa account. {$35.00} late charges for 6 months, along with more interest due to the balance going up each month. When I returned to the States, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I read the letter that stated they were unable to charge my account automatically -- -I had not had my correspondence forwarded since I was traveling. How was I to know that the original arrangement was not followed through by Bank of America. Here is the kicker -- -when I returned I called Bank of America to see what could be done with the delinquent amount and if the late charges and any interest charged due to their inaccurate information the payments were not made. So, I called the collection department and spoke to a young lady named, XXXX XXXX, she stated she could submit an order to get the late charges reversed and refunded to the account but the account needed to be at a Current Paid Status -- I paid the amount past due of {$640.00}. to bring the account current. Once the payment of {$640.00} was processed and had gone through, she then retracted her statement saying she could NOT reverse the late charges because I had been past due in the past. What a joke this was on me -- made the payment and then once again, fraudulently, advised. One important statement she did make was that it does not matter whether an account status is open or closed the payments should be able to be paid automatically as originally was to be done. Please help, I am a XXXX year old, lady with a financial hardship due to illness and then for this to happen is not very professional on the part of Bank of America. Fraud on their part to take a consumer for more money.

Consumer complaint: I ca n't believe the horrible service I am receiving with USAA. I got an auto loan XX/XX/XXXX and it was paid off XX/XX/XXXX ( to make room on our debt ratio for a new home ). Up until that point, the loan was reported as paid as agreed with no lates. 

Suddenly when I paid off the loan, the loan was reported as having a 30 day late payment. To me, it is suspicious as to why that payment was never reported late before, but when I decide to pay off the loan, now it 's late? So I investigate further. After investigation, there was a payment in XXXX that was made to them, but never applied to the loan. The bank says they never received the payment. So, I find out that XXXX XXXX issued a cashier 's check to them on XX/XX/XXXX, but the check was never cashed. After further investigation, I find out that the check was delivered to them on XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX and delivered to the front desk. Their response, they never recieved the payment, so it is not a bank error - and they left the 30 day late payment on my credit report. This XXXX late payment caused my credit scores to drop XXXX points on XXXX bureau - XXXX points on another and I 'm still waiting on the last bureau to get this negative information. 

On my credit report, I have no late payments and my other loans with USAA are always made on time. This XXXX missing payment is truly an anomoly. Instead of fixing their mistake, they continue to give me the run around. They tell me that they are researching it, but most likely it is n't a banking error. They tell me that even though they signed for it, it still is not their mistake. When I asked why, when I called to inquire about the late notices I was getting, they kept telling me that there was a small balance left over from the previous month, even though payment was made for more than the payment due amount. I was told to disregard the notices. 

My question is if I have proof a payment was mailed to them, and signed/delivered to them by XXXX, how is this anything but a banking error?

Consumer complaint: Bank of America credit card account has been paid in full and resolved but still shows on my credit report as non-payment amount of {$580.00}. I need this cleared from XXXX credit bureaus ASAP.

Consumer complaint: Six years ago due to financial difficulty we had to file personal bankruptcy. A repayment plan was established by the court, and we made monthly payments to the Trustee as required. At the same time, we stayed current with our monthly mortgage payments, which were made directly to the bank, and not as part of our payment to the Trustee. 
We completed bankruptcy 8 months ago, and had advised our mortgage holder of this repeatedly, requesting to be removed out of the bankruptcy department in order to receive regular statements reflecting payment due, mortgage payment breakdown in interest and principal, principal balance etc..We were deprived of this information while in bankruptcy having been told we would not receive any statements, as this was a customary bankruptcy procedure from the bank. Upon completion of the bankruptcy program, and with formal discharge from the Trustee, we tried to get out account reinstated to " regular '' statements, but were put off for months by the bank with excuses, such as " we have to confirm it ourselves '', " it should take 2 more weeks '', " we have to escalate it, we do n't know what 's taking so long, we have received all the necessary forms, its just a matter of getting the loan processors to update your account and release your account form bankruptcy '', " your account has to be updated, you made some extra payments which are held in a different account, and the loan processor has to apply them to your principal balance, we are escalating this matter again '' ETC ... .After 8 months we finally were taken out of bankruptcy and received our first " regular '' statement, but upon reviewing it, we found a complete mess..The payments we made were only partially applied to interest and principal balances, some of the funds having vanished without any credit/posting to the account. Also there are additional untitled fees that the representatives have no explanation for. 
Having been 'reinstated '', and out of bankruptcy, at least our latest payment should have been distributed into principal and interest, and clearly reflected/posted to our account. But out of a payment of {$1000.00} only {$980.00} distributed to principal and interest, the rest having vanished without explanation or understanding from even their representatives. The only assurance I got from them is " we will escalate this matter, and get an explanation as to what is happening with your payments, but your account is Current at this time ''. However many of these issues have been going on for months now, without any resolution and at this point we have lost confidence in their ability to correctly and ethically service our mortgage loan. 

Company response: Company believes complaint is the result of an isolated error
Consumer complaint: This was included in my bankruptcy that was discharge XXXX 2013. I have called them and my lawyer has sent them numerous letters to remove this from my credit report because I do not owe it. They keep trying to collect and now it is still on my credit report.

Consumer complaint: I had a credit card which I was unable to make the payments due to unemployment. So the account went to collections and Frederick J. Hanna got the account. So they served me papers around XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/2015. So I acknowledge that I owed this debt and would start making payments by signing and getting a form notarized stating I do owe this debt. So I began making payments. In XX/XX/XXXX I set up a payment plan in the amount of XXXX $ /month before that I had pay off the debt by XXXX . There was an additional XXXX $ added for court charges make a total balance of XXXX. Once my payment plan was set up it kept getting cancel for some reason which they would not tell me. So XX/XX/2015 I was upset that they still was sending threatening letters of bring me to court accusing me of not making payments when I was. I just pay the total balance of XXXX over the phone and I received a confirmation number. They took it out of my checking account twice so a total XXXX instead of the XXXX that I owe. Now I ca n't get in touch with anyone none of the representatives will come to the phone. I did my part but I feel like now I 'm being con out of my money. I 'm a XXXX and am trying to move to start a new job. I really could use every dime I have so I do n't wish to be taken advantage of. I used the credit card I ran up the charges I understand and will pay what I owe. But I do n't understand why they are trying to charge me twice and adding additional charges. There need to be some sort of action taken against this firm because of the harassment, threats, and trickery is despicable.

Consumer complaint: If the payment is not there immediately on the day it is due, regardless of the 10-day grace period or the fact that I have NEVER paid late in over a year, they call that day and every day until it is received. Payments are scheduled on paydays and it takes a couple of days to get the payment to them, so I have over 70 calls logged from them in the past year. I ca n't stand it! Give me a few ( 5-10 ) days grace period and THEN if I have n't paid, I understand a call, but this is utterly ridiculous!!!

Consumer complaint: From XXXX of XXXX to XXXX XXXX I lived in the income restricted property, XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL. One of the lease addenda stated that if my family size or income changed, I was to report it immediately, and if the income exceeded the allowance, I was to move out within 30 days or by the end of the lease, whichever was sooner. I married, my family income rose, exceeding the allowance, I paid my prorated rent and submitted the 30 day notice, but the manager refused and returned my check and told me I was going to be liable for the remainder of the lease. I continued to proceed with moving out, and when management filed for eviction, I responded and requested an amount to pay into the court registry. However, their unethical lawyer claimed I never replied to him ( he actually never picked up the response I sent via certified mail, which was eventually returned to me. He motioned the court for a default judgment without notifying me, and when I called the court to find out when the hearing was, they told me that the judge had already issued a default. I subsequently filed to vacate the judgment, showing proof that I 'd been denied due process, I was granted a hearing, argued the case myself, and won. The court ruled that I had acted according to the terms of the lease and granted my motion to vacate, ordering that I send the original prorated amount I attempted to give the manager. I actually mailed the check prior to receiving the signed copy of the court order, and still have the certified mail receipt indicating that it was received. Nevertheless, the management company had reported a debt of {$1500.00} to each of the XXXX credit bureaus which they have not only never removed despite my disputes, but most recently reported to XXXX last month. Apparently the collection agency and/or management company is still misrepresenting this, and the credit bureaus are taking their word for it that I owe them this money. They list the account as " opened '' on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, which was 3 months after I moved out of the apartment and two weeks AFTER the court vacated the default judgment. What do I need to do to get this fraudulent report off of my record? Can I sue them for this? Can they be fined? This is n't an oversight ; it is intentional. I am attaching the following documentation : the original Order of Court 's Default ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), Order Vacating Final Judgment ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), Notice of Hearing ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), Order on Defendant 's Motion to Vacate Default Final Judgment ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), the stub from the money order I used for payment ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), and the US Postal Service Return Receipt for the rent ordered by the court, signed by XXXX XXXX 's manager on XXXX XXXX ( the hearing was on XXXX XXXX ; I mailed it the next day ). I want this removed from all XXXX credit bureaus. Your assistance will be appreciated.

Consumer complaint: I. Javitch Block and XXXX XXXX sent me a letter XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that they had been retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 2 ) notice of opportunity to contact within 30 days to dispute the debt, and 3 ) a statement they are a debt collector. The letter was delivered uncertified. II. I responded on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In the letter, I asked Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX to validate the debt. The letter stated to respond to a specific Notary Public ( who would verify and validate receipt of said validation ) within 30 days. The letter was sent by certified mail and received by Javitch Block LLC on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. III. I also pulled down my credit report and saw that this debt had been charged off. IV. I was served a lawsuit on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX regarding this matter. This firm stated they were retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. That claim is patently false, since the debt was charged off. If XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was still pursuing this debt, it would not be at this status, so this firm has made a false statement regarding its disposition on this matter. Further, this firm has stated they are a debt collector further down in the letter. This indicates that they obtained this debt as a third party debt collector. The statements made by Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX in the letter are fraudulent and misleading and intended to intimidate. Further, Javith Block LLC nd XXXX XXXX has extended this fraud into court.

Consumer complaint: I used Merrill Lynch travel services to book my XXXX trip using my credit card and did not note any penalties for changes on their website or tickets. In addition, my eticket receipt did not arrive with any change fee disclosures. I needed to change my return location from XXXX, XXXX to XXXX, XXXX, which is also the city that I should be flying in to, but when I called the travel center they informed me of all these change fees that included a {$270.00} airline per ticket fee and their service fee of {$30.00} per ticket. Even though the total price is now lower than what I originally paid for ( {$810.00} compared to {$1000.00} ) they will not refund me the difference or apply the credit to the airline penalty fee. They blamed the airline for these fees and for not refunding me the difference, so I called XXXX and they told me that they were not able to help me because I did not purchase the tickets with them. I asked about the price difference and they said that the ML should take care of that for me. I called them back and they said no and that they could only waive their {$30.00} change fee. I was not appropriately disclosed of these terms and would like to see a change without any penalties or a full refund. It appears that ML is engaged in the travel business without clearly disclosing the fees to its customers.
