State: NV
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint:
I received a notice of debt from the Fair Collections & Outsourcing of XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX by a phone call, which I clearly stated that was n't mine and was a result of identity theft. I demanded all pertinent documents used by the thief and they took over XXXX to provide. The thief used my maiden name and an unknown XXXX drivers license number to rent an apartment. In the application, the thief provided signatures that do not match to each other, and you can tell that the creditor did not do their due diligence to verify their identity as they failed in a few obvious areas : verify their previous residence and workplace, check their signature, and verify validity of their drivers license. 
After I sent in the affidavit and proof of my identity that included our lease agreement at our current address, utility bill, my husband 's XXXX military XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and copy of my paystubs, they proceeded with reporting this debt to the credit bureau XXXX days later. I will be sending another letter tomorrow ( enclosed with this complaint ) to demand that they stop all collection proceedings against me as I have provided everything they need.

Complaint:
I had stopped paying my credit cards because we were close to losing our home.

I explained that I am paying XXXX mortgages right now and can afford {$50.00} a month until we have more money available to pay this was on XXXX. I spoke to XXXX XXXX. He was very rude. He asked me for my work phone number. i told him was not supplying my work phone number he said do n't interupt me when I am speaking was very harsh. I ended the call after saying I am going now. I sent a few emails to the company with my budget telling them I can afford {$50.00} a month just trying to pay my debt. I was served with no further communication from them on XXXX. When you are down on your luck with XXXX kids and try to make things right and call in treated very rudely and then served on top of it. I just want to pay my debt paying as much as I can afford at this time without being harrased. It shouldnt be that hard to communicate with a company to try to pay your debt especially when you make the call to them wanting to work it out.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Diligently making my mortgage payments for the life of the loan, on XX/XX/2017, I was unable to make the final payment, due XX/XX/2017, for the {$720.00} balance due. Unable to make the payment on-line at the BOA web site, I went to the local branch in XXXX, where I live, presented the XX/XX/2017, monthly payment coupon and check for the {$720.00} balance due to Teller " XXXX '', who was unable to accept my payment due to a " computer error ''. Teller " XXXX '' then contacted BOA Relationship Manager, XXXX, to request assistance. XXXX was also unable to accept my {$720.00} balance due payment to pay the outstanding mortgage in full. 

Additionally, though the web site notes a charge of {$6.00} for making an on-line payment 10 days or more past the due date, my attempt to make the payment due on XX/XX/2017 on XX/XX/2017, noted a charge of {$6.00} to make that on-line payment the day that it is due. While that was clearly a glitch, the important concern is ; why should Bank of America be allowed to charge an additional {$6.00} fee to make an on-line payment when there is already a provision to charge a late fee for payments made greater than 16 days past the payment due date. Seems lie Bank of America is pyramiding an unjustified charge of {$6.00} for the privilege of making one 's monthly mortgage payment on line before a standard late charge would kick in as in their standard mortgage contract.

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
The Bank of America XXXX pay language is very misleading. When choosing how to pay your credit card it gives you multiple options, one option is " Amount Due '' which you would think would mean the amount you spent that month but it actually means the minimum amount. If you want to pay the amount actually due on your credit card bill you have to choose " Pay Balance '' which is confusing because this language differs from most other credit card companies. I find this wording particularly confusing. I have spoken with multiple people about this and many have had similar experiences and incurred extra fees as a result.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
We have been dealing with XXXX Bank and Bank of America for more than 4 years trying to work out a loss mitigation settlement on our home. This story is hard to tell without giving some details. We stopped paying our mortgage in XXXX 2011, after seeking the advice of several professionals ( real estate agents, attorneys, and financial advisors ). Our property had lost half of its value, and we were literally throwing money away. We had tried to refinance with our lender for 2 years before we stopped paying. 
After losing my job, we put our house on the market hoping for a short sale. Over 4 years, we had XXXX short sale offers XXXX XXXX, a cash offer for the fair market value of the property ). Every time we had a sale, we would submit the paper work to get approval for the short sale. Every time it was rejected. Recently, we have been trying to get a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, since short sales are no longer happening in our area. Buyers are not willing to put up with the red tape involved with a short sale. 
We feel that we are dealing with a conflict of interest -- -- - Bank of America who owns the mortgage and XXXX Bank servicing the mortgage, and another arm of XXXX servicing our HELOC. We have to work with XXXX Bank regarding all the paperwork, but they tell us that Bank of America 's investors will not give us a deed-in-lieu, but with no explanations as to why. Bank of America was ordered by the courts to resolve these situations with the government settlement they received. 
We had never missed a mortgage payment and had excellent credit, until the housing crash forced us to make some difficult decisions.We did nothing to cause this situation. Our home was supposed to be an investment to supplement our retirement. Now we start retirement with a damaged credit rating and a house we can no longer afford. 
This system is entirely broken. We have spent countless hours filling out paperwork, working with professionals, and doing research. We have come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of the banks to deny anything which benefits their customers or the XXXX economy. Our tax money bailed them out, but they are not helping those who were hurt by their reckless behavior. 
Any assistance or advice you might provide would be greatly appreciated. We feel strongly that hearing our story might spur future legislation curtailing the power of the Banking Institutions in this country.

Complaint:
I tried several times to change my loan 's direct payment from the Popular Community Bank account that I could no longer deposit money to because I moved out of the state of XXXX where they are located, to a new bank account I opened in XXXX Bank.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I assumed a loan that my father had on his house after he passed away. After I assumed the loan the bills were coming as they were before i assumed the loan addressed to the Estate of XXXX and the principal amount on the bills were n't the amount that i agreed to. I was waiting for a bill to come in my name so I could make a payment. Three months after i signed the assumption papers the company sent a delinquent letter still addressed to the Estate of XXXX. I called them immideately and when they said the account was delinquent i made a {$14000.00} that day to bring the account current. I proceeded to call them multiple times to ask them to have the loan put in my name. The only thing that they changed was the principal amount until XX/XX/XXXX, that was when the bills started to come addressed to me. Then they report to the credit agencies saying that i was delinquent. They also sent 2 sets of XXXX tax papers to the house. One set addressed to the estate of XXXX for the payments XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX and the other set addressed to me for XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. If i was fiscally responsible as they are saying for the months that were late then why does the estate have a XXXX at all? My issue with this company is that the way in which they are doing business is very misleading to their customers. It is their fault that i did n't make a payment because they never sent me a bill. Then they record to the XXXX credit agencies that everything is accurate As you can see there are many inconsistancies in which the are handling their business. In doing so they are affecting my life greatly because my credit has been impecable up to this point. I would like for this issue to be resolved and the company to be forced to communicate with their customers with precision so that this may never happen again

Complaint:
My debit card was hacked and the perpetrators racked up over {$500.00} on my account. I immediately called and reported the unauthorized transactions to the card issuer the same day and was told I needed to wait until the transactions posted. I called the next day when they posted and was told I would qualify for a provisional credit if I sent a written statement disputing the charges. I sent the statement via email that day which was a Saturday and also advised I would be filing a police report with local law enforcement. When I called to file the police report, I was told by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that I needed an affidavit from the card issuer to prove I disputed the charges. I called the card issuer back and requested the affidavit and the customer service representative said he would send it to my email. After waiting over 2 hours for the email, I called customer service again and they said they have to finish their investigation before sending any documents or crediting the provisional refund and their investigation can take at least 10 business days. They are obstructing justice and hindering my right to prosecute the criminals that stole my money.
