Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Bank of America due to a significant error they made that resulted in marking me as late on my account. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am using this platform to address this issue. 

The incident revolves around an oversight on the bank 's part regarding the update of my address on my loan account. Despite correctly updating my bank account addresses online and at the branch after I relocated, my loan account address was not modified accordingly. Consequently, I did not receive any notices or communication from them regarding my account. 

I moved to my new residence some time ago and promptly updated my address both online and at a local BOA branch. While they successfully updated my checking accounts, regrettably, my car loan account address remained unchanged. I possess statements for my bank account that accurately display the updated address, in contrast to the auto loan account which still reflects the old, incorrect address. Furthermore, even the old address listed on the car loan account lacks my apartment number due to their oversight. 

I've attached copies of the bank statement which show the updated address. 

This situation has caused me significant distress, as its repercussions have had a substantial impact on various aspects of my life. Throughout my history as a customer, I have consistently upheld my responsibility and made timely payments. 

The gravity of this error has translated into several adverse consequences that are severely affecting both my personal and financial well-being. These consequences encompass impediments in obtaining home approvals, a considerable loss of valuable time, XXXX XXXX and resulting XXXX, as well as marital discord stemming from my inability to refinance my existing home. 

I kindly request a swift and thorough investigation into this matter, along with the necessary rectifications to address the damage caused. I believe in the integrity of Bank of America and hope that this issue can be resolved in a manner that restores my faith in your institution
