Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I am currently using Skylight Financial as a direct deposit/checking account, through my employer XXXX XXXX ''. I need to rent a car why my car is under repairs. I found that Skylight tacks on an additional 15 % of blocked fees when the car rental agency places a hold for the rental. XXXX states very clearly how much they are holding, but skylight adds 15 % and states its a federal law they must abide. I can not find any federal law that requires banks to increase holds on car rental fees. I have made over a dozen attempts to communicate to my bank that I believe this to be a unlawful activity, but they refuse to work with me or correct the behavior. If they are doing this to me, how many other innocent people are going through the same act? This could not possibly be a legal or moral act of a bank to perform harsh '' er '' penalties to a customer just trying to get transportation to work and other crucial commuter needs-its just plain cruel!

Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
There have been several incidents in the past where Merrill Lynch has improperly, and without cause, held funds designated for deposit. 

On yesterday, I received a wire transfer in excess of {$60000.00}. This wire came from another bank, and was sent on XX/XX/2022. On XX/XX/2022, I recieved a call from Merrill Lynch indicating that they needed to talk to me to verify a distribution. I waited on hold for over 30 minutes, only to be told, this is a " security '' concern and the funds would be released within the hours. This was after the verification. 

To date, Merill Lynch has continued to hold the funds, without any reason for doing so. After repeated calls, they continue to hold the funds. 

I firmly believe that Merrill Lynch is discriminating against me, and has performed this action, and like action, because of my XXXX. There has not been any history of fraud or fraudulent activity on my account, yet -- every time there is a deposit, I am forced to wait an excessive amount of days to have access to funds that belong to me. 

Merill Lynch has my demographics, and perhaps because of this, they continously act as if I am attempting to " defraud '' them, or I am participating in some fraudulent activity. 

Here, my account is in good standing, maintains a positive balance, yet still- they refuse to release MY MONEY to me. 

This has happened on several occassions -- without reason or explanation. And before I leave this institution for good, I wanted to log this complaint, because I firmly believe they have a practice of withholding money from XXXXXXXX XXXX 

There is literraly no OTHER reason why this bank continues to illegally hold my funds under the vauge guise of security.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint:
This is a follow up from a previous complaint to insure proper, final resolution. 
Please find enclosed documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a long disputed account I 've had with them. This account has been misreported in recent years by them and subsequently the credit bureaus, which has harmed my ability to obtain credit. 
I 'd like to address XXXX issues that should be updated and corrected per the information contained in the BofA letter. Due to my multiple disputes throughout this year, it appears the account has been repeatedly updated to reflect it as charged off but appearing to be something that is newly reported when in fact it was charged off XX/XX/2012. There should be no other charge off information noted to the account other than XX/XX/2012. Additionally, the letter clarifies that there is no balance owed ( this has long been reported with a balance of {$21000.00} ). 
It would appear that because of these continual challenges and " updating '' that the account event status was reported as recent and not when originally occurred ( XX/XX/2012 ). It would appear that this has had a direct impact on my reduced FICO scores since I have no other recent derog credit, my current account balances have been dropping and all of my payments have been made on time. Please research this as well and make any account updates necessary to restore the accuracy of when events with this account took place ( charged off XX/XX/2012 and not recently as well as {$0.00} balance owed ). Thanks

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
My mother became ill with XXXX, and was living with me during her treatment. I believed her mortgage was on an autopay system through her bank because all of her other bills were arranged that way. She XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2017, without a will. Shortly after her XXXX, she received notices in the mail that she had missed a payment. In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to contact the mortgage company in order to keep the mortgage current until we can sell the property. The company will not provide me with any information at all on how to keep the mortgage current, where to pay, how much to pay, etc. I have sent several payments to the company, with what I think are the right amounts and to the right spot, but foreclosure notices keep coming in the mail. It is like they are intentionally trying to foreclose on this property without even giving me the chance to make payments until I can sell the house.
