Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX My balance on my Bank of America credit card ending in XXXX was {$22000.00}. It said " CURRENT BALANCE {$22000.00} ''. I paid {$22000.00}. I signed on to my account yesterday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to find that the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that the bank also charged me interest of {$440.00}. I figured it may have been a timing issue or something and the bank would correct it. I went through the online chat - where she was telling me that I was due the interest and we were not communicating well. So, I picked up the phone and called. I spoke to a woman that told me I had to have my account paid off for 2 months to avoid the interest - this was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. I asked for her manager. The manager, Ms.XXXX  got on the phone. She told me in order to get a pay off balance I needed to call. I told her that my statement clearly said my balance. The cut off date was XX/XX/XXXX. I paid my balance in full on XX/XX/XXXX. My balance was my balance and I should not have been charged interest because it was paid in full. She said that on page 2 of my statement under the caption of " miscellaneous '' it said that I needed to call for my pay off balance. I made my dispute known. It wasn't until I hung up finally that I read the " miscellaneous '' section she pointed me to. This has nothing to do with what she was saying - it had to do with promo interest rates. Mine was not a promo rate at all. 

MISCELLANEOUS - Promotional Rate End Date : This date is based on a future statement closing date. If you change your payment due date, this date could change. The New Balance Total which appears on this statement is not a payoff amount and may be subject to additional interest charges when you pay in full after your statement closing date. Please contact the customer service number located on the front of this statement for a pay-off amount. Virtual cards are the digital form of your eligible physical credit cards stored within a digital wallet. 

The most sophisticated or non sophisticated customer will assume that if they pay their balance in full by the cut off date that there will be no additional interest. I feel very taken advantage of. From everything I have read online if I pay my current balance stated I should not be charged additional interest.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I called Owning Corporation at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on Wednesday, XX/XX/20 to inquire about a 30yr cash-out refinance. Phone conversation took place at XXXX PST for 3 minutes with an agent named XXXX . He asked me basic loan questions but the conversation didnt last long. When I stated my husband was self employed, XXXX told me ( not verbatim ) that due to everything happening with COVID, they were not accepting self employed applicants. He asked me if my husband owned 25 % + of the company, I answered yes. He then repeated what he said before and said they are only looking at applicants with W-2s. XXXX said he wasnt sure when they would open up to all. It could be a week from now or longer but said he would call me. The phone call ended with no interest rate quote or loan application. 
Im filing this complaint because Owning Corporation violated ECOA. We were not given an opportunity to apply for a refinance. We were blatantly discriminated against due to my husbands self employed status. We were prematurely turned away only because of his employment status.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I first opened a business account with PNC in XXXX. My business is a typical retail brick and mortar store. In XXXX, I also moved my merchant account to PNC. In XXXX of XXXX, I received notice that PNC would close my business checking account due to high-risk activity. As a small part of the business, I had been doing a small amount of money transfer services since XXXX. Never was I told that this was not allowed or that it would cause any problem with my business account. But rather than giving me a chance to remedy the problem, PNC unilaterally closed my account. As of XXXX of XXXX, I stopped offering money transfer services at my business. At that time, I was concerned about the merchant account, which is a separate account with PNC that allows us to accept credit cards as payment, so I called specifically to ask about this. I asked if this would affect my merchant account. I was told that it would not, and that I could keep the merchant account. I would only have to change the bank that accepts the deposits. So I did just that. Six months later, PNC closed my merchant account, WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING! This cost me several thousand dollars in potential sales, plus about {$800.00} to set up a new service with short notice. Furthermore, they refused to process {$230.00} worth of sales with had gone through before I was cut off. 

When I inquired as to why the account was closed, I was told that PNC requested that it be closed ( apparently because they had closed the other account six months earlier ). No real reason was given, and I had never used the merchant account for activities related to money transfer services, nor had I ever had a charge back or other violation of the terms of the contract. 

The contract I signed is three year agreement. After checking it, I found nothing that allows PNC to close my account just because PNC had closed an unrelated account several months prior. 

In my view this is breach of contract. Their blatant disregard for customers nearly put me out of business after eight years of hard work and sacrifice. Words can not express how deeply offended I am and their underhanded and unethical business practices. They do no deserve to be in business at all. If I treated my customers like that, I would not have any customers. 

I believe PNC should compensate me for their indiscretion, as well as compensate me for lost sales, the charges that were not processed, and the cost of setting up a new services. I seek {$15000.00} in damages.
