Consumer complaint received 2020-01-13
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX This letter addresses the unfair and unethical practices by Bank of America, N.A. 

HELOC opened in XXXX with Bank of America Mortgage Company. 
XXXX Loan matured. Reached out to Bank of America to re-modify the loan. Request was denied. Monthly statements were still received and paid on time until XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX we received a call ( no postal mailings ) for the total payoff of the loan. 
Contact was initiated on our part but were unable to make contact to speak to anyone directly. We thought it was a scam because no more calls or mail was received. 
Regular monthly billing statements were received which we paid on time every month. 

In XX/XX/XXXX the below occurred : XX/XX/XXXX when we received our monthly statement to pay full amount of the loan. 
Contact was again initiated with Bank of America Mortgage Company and no progress was made because I was informed both account holders needed to be available and my husband was not. 
Another attempt was initiated with Bank of America Mortgage Company we were transferred twice to two different departments and then disconnected. 

As per another lending institution for advice and here is what we were told : Our HELOC should have matured after ten years, where in that time we should have been able to borrow against it ( but we did not ). 
After the ten years deadline, we should have been able to refinance/re-modify. 
In XXXX we proceeded with re-modifying the loan with Bank of America Mortgage, but this was denied. 
No paper work was mailed regarding this, but monthly statements continued. 

Based on our experience, Bank of America Mortgage is not a consumer friendly nor consumer helpful institution. Their communication skills and customer services are simply unacceptable. My husband and I would really like to re-modify this loan so that we may start paying into the principal and eventually pay it off. 

Our goal is simply to get this loan settled, so that we will still be able to live in the house that we have tried so hard to maintain for our family. 

Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Sun Trust advising me that a hold had been placed on the new account that I had opened online because the amount of the check submitted was very high and it is their policy to put a hold on it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the local Sun Trust branch to alert them that I had not opened this account and that someone was using my identity to open the account. A lady named XXXX ( at the bank ) alerted the Sun Trust fraud department ; she assured me it would be taken care of. 
Since that day, I have continued to receive communication from Sun Trust telling me that a fee of {$12.00} has been placed on the account because of the fraudulent check submitted when opening the account. I have spoken with Sun Trust five times about this issue and I am continually told that it is being taken care of ; however, the letters still come. The notice sent to me dated XX/XX/XXXX, contains a threat that if I do not pay the XXXX fee, they may report this to check reporting agencies which may impact my relationship with other banks. My credit is excellent and Sun Trust bank is threatening that. I have included communication I have received from Sun Trust. You will see they are ignoring the reality of identity fraud.
