Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I am a XXXX year old female.I went to XXXX XXXX last XXXX for a fix on my XXXX XXXX. They told me it was not fixable and said that I needed to have a new XXXX and a new XXXX.. Gave me a price of XXXX approx. I agreed. They made the XXXX and could not get them to fit. The next time I went back there was a new XXXX there and he said we had to have new XXXX. We made new XXXX and the XXXX did not fit and he proceeded to put a XXXX for another XXXX on my one XXXX XXXX to hold the XXXX. He made another impression for the XXXX, we got that and he could not get either the XXXX XXXX or the XXXX to fit so they didn't hurt. I continued to go back several times with no luck. It is nowXX/XX/XXXX. 9 months I have been going to this XXXX. I made an appt. and returned the XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I had to have financing for these XXXX and got a loan with their company XXXX XXXX which is XXXX XXXX. The problem is with the finance company now. XXXX XXXX took my balance down to the price of the XXXX   XXXX but the finance company is still demanding that I pay a XXXX payment for XXXX. I fought with them and they took over XXXX off the bill because I was paying all that time for nothing. I am more than happy to pay the XXXX bill I owe for the XXXX with a XXXX monthly payment that they told me it would be I have made XXXX and XXXX payments and they are still demanding that I pay the XXXX for XXXX. I have agreed to pay them XXXX for that month but they are refusing. In the meantime they are reaming me with late payments huge interest and say I owe them more money than I do.

Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I lost my job and couldn't pay on an unsecured installment loan from XXXX. I had been making payments up until the point I lost my job so the balance owed was only {$2900.00}. It went into Collections where XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) took over for recovery. They then put a judgment on me. I had signed a confession of judgment which I would it was my bill and made arrangements with them to take {$50.00} a month out of my check. This went on for 5 years from XX/XX/XXXX. I had paid them {$2700.00} over that time and they stopped taking money out of my bank account so I thought the bill was satisfied. It was only until this month XXXX when I tried to refinance my home that I found out they had put a {$4000.00} lien on my property. I called XXXX and tried to find out why. They had advised me that I defaulted in my payment arrangement by not recertifying with them to take money out of my account which I have never done for the 5 yrs they were doing it. They said I was sued ( with no notification or summons for me to appear in court ) and pre-judgment, post judgment plus other fees were added totally now {$4600.00}. 
I was very upset since I cooperated fully with repayment and was doing my part to clear up this debt. I am also very upset that paying in good faith they could not settle the balance owed as paid in full as a lot of creditors do since the left balance was only {$280.00}. I tried to explain that I DID NOT default in my payment arrangements but THEY DID by stopping my payments. They were uncooperative as to helping me rectify this as I pleaded since the balance was only {$280.00} I would pay and they could take lien off and they told me they could not do that because now the creditor wants all their money. I am very upset and would so like to clear this matter up. I do not have {$4600.00} and feel THEY defaulted me and THEY SHOULD clear this up for me. 
Please help.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Placed house for same in XX/XX/XXXX. Applied for and received COVID forbearance on home in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX finally sold on XX/XX/XXXX. I attempted to apply for a new mortgage in XXXX of this year on a primary residence and discovered that Loancare placed derogatory marks on my credit report for each period the home was in COVID forbearance. I have called repeatedly to Loancare, often being told that no one could help and that a supervisor would call. None have, to date. 

When I started to file complaints with Loancare in XXXX, including sending an email to the president of Loancare, the servicing of my mortgage was sold to XXXX XXXX 's on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX 's has indicated, in writing and through repeated calls, that they can not adjust comments made by another creditor ; it is up solely to Loancare to remedy. 

As of today XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, I still have not been able to speak with a supervisor of any capacity at Loancare, and, because the servicing of my mortgage was transferred in XXXX, my phone number comes up as an inactive account in their automated system and they will not speak to me without calling from an alternate number. 

I have also filed disputes with each of the credit bureaus, with no decision having been reached as of today. 

Ultimately, I can not secure a new conventional mortgage for the next 8 months, at a minimum, unless the comments are removed by Loancare. I fully complied with the terms of the forbearance, and ask that my complaint be taken seriously and addressed at once. Thank you.

Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX TO : XXXX XXXX, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer for JPMorgan Chase RE : You Violated the United States Code Law ( TILA 15 U.S. Code Ch 41 Consumer Credit Protection ) Open End Credit Plan and Open End Consumer Credit Plan ( j ) terms open end credit plan and open end consumer credit plan mean a plan under which the creditor reasonably contemplates repeated transactions, which prescribes the terms of such transactions, and which provides for a finance charge which may be computed from time to time on the outstanding unpaid balance. A credit plan or open-end consumer credit plan which is an open-end credit plan or open-end consumer credit plan within the meaning of the preceding sentence is an open-end credit plan even if credit information is verified from time to time. 

Let me break these laws down On XX/XX/XXXX you closed my account without my approval. 
I was never late and always paid on time. I gave you a security instrument which was my signature. What law says that you can close an open-end credit plan without my approval? A closed account is never closed. Once something is open it's always open, Im just not getting any benefits from it. Under 15 U.S. Code 1602 Truth in lending act I am the original creditor, therefore you can not close an account without my written consent. 

Due to your adverse actions and unfair credit card practices ( TILA 15 U.S.C. Ch 41 ), for the past 5 years I have suffered damages such as XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX because now I have high interest rates because of the information that you reported on my report. These are damages that no one can tell me how much they are but me as the consumer. You dont know what Ive incurred over the past 5 years. Ive spent 5 years trying to clean up my consumer report. You dont know that Ive tried to get loans from 10 different banks to help pay my grandmothers medical bills. Now my interest rate is 29.99 % because your people have spilled and compromised my information which is identify theft. Under TILA, FCRA and FDCP I did not give you written consent to close my account. This is a FDCPA violation. You violated me. I have rights as a consumer which you violated. You defamed my character.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
The Bank of America Business Advantage Fundamentals checking account offers three ways to waive the monthly fee. One of them is a having a combined balance of {$5000.00} in accounts. I have a certificate of deposit in the amount of {$4700.00} and a checking account with more than {$400.00} in it. I called Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm that this would make me eligible for a waiver of the service fee and the agent I spoke with confirmed that it would. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged a {$16.00} service fee. I called on XX/XX/15 and the agent I spoke with said that the previous agent was incorrect and that I was charged a fee because my CD is a personal account and my checking account is a business account. If I had known this information when I called on XX/XX/XXXX, I would have taken one of the other options to waive this fee, but I did not do so because of the incorrect information I received.
