Consumer complaint received 2015-06-08
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
I have received at least XXXX " home loan refinance opportunities '' from Bank of America, who holds my current mortgage. The latest letter is attached, both front and back pages. I believe the manner the refinancing option is presented in these letters is misleading, deceptive, and potentially illegal. 
The letter boldly emphasizes several times that I will save {$3000.00} per year. But this savings is not primarily due to a lower interest rate, it 's primarily due to the conversion of my current 20-year loan to a new 30-year loan. Yes, I would save the {$3000.00} per year for 20 years, and then I would owe an additional {$14000.00} per year for 10 years ( this risk is vaguely mentioned in a very-small-font footnote on the bottom of the back page ). I would basically pay about {$80000.00} more, while Bank of America pockets {$2800.00} in fees and costs. 
Bank of America has complete and full access to all details of my current mortgage and to all details of their proposed refinancing plan. They have the information to accurately and honestly present their refinancing opportunity. Instead they are willfully and intentionally choosing to present the offer in a dishonest and deceptive manner.

State: NH
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I checked my on-line account with Bank of America today and found a XXXX maintenance fee assessed.  This fee is part of BofA "updating" their checking products.  The Change in Terms (CIT) notice dated XX/XX/XXXX for that update indicated that I could avoid the fee if I met XXXX of XXXX requirements as of my XX/XX/XXXX statement cycle. I met XXXX of those requirements as of that date, a CD with a balance of at least $10,000 and a line of credit (HELOC) with a balance of $15,000 or more, so I did not think that the fee would be imposed.  I called BofA today and explained my position.  She stated that the cause was that my accounts were not linked. I stated that as far as I was concerned they all are linked as I can see them all in my on-line profile and can transfer funds among them as needed.    She indicated that this was an internal linking process and she took steps to do that with all of my accounts.  She also processed a reversal to the maintenance fee.  I am writing to make others aware that the same maintenance fee may have been imposed on their accounts despite them having met one of the qualifying requirements .

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE - FIRSTMERIT BANK, N.A. BRANCH
State: FL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I chose to close a bank account with FirstMerit Bank located in XXXX XXXX, WI. When they gave me the document to sign it showed that only XXXX remained in the account. I asked how that could be and was told of a inactivity fee of XXXX per month. I was totally unaware of this fee. 
I was told by a customer service person that they send out a notice each month when the account is ready for viewing. I told them I have never received any such email. I did check the account a couple of years ago and the amount shown matched my checkbook balance. I usually come up to Wisconsin for a couple of weeks each year. I did not come up last year due to a death in the family otherwise I would have closed the account a year ago. 
The customer service person said " I wish you had not closed the account, now there is nothing I can do ''. I said that makes no sense and I will pursue the issue.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
Navient is untrustworthy, unreliable and unprofessional. 

The site continually does not reflect my payments. The status says " past due '' but the money was taken out of my account the day it was due. I called weeks ago to no avail. The representative told me that it would be resolved shortly. Weeks later it hasn't.This has happened multiple times. Also, it is very inconvenient, because they will no longer be accepting credit card payments online. This is inconvenient, especially since it will be flooded with phone calls and late fees may apply if a representative is unavailable. 

I am afraid my credit, which I finally raised, will be affected because of their technical problems. I feel helpless and powerless. 

I do not know what I can do at this point!

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute accounts do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block and remove these accounts ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1700.00} ; XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$780.00} ; XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$140.00}. 

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. So please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

State: NE
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NE XXXX have a private student loan ( through XXXX XXXX, now Navient ) that went into default and cosigned on a private loan that also went default. XX/XX/XXXX, I set up terms with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to get off the co signed loan and make payments to mine. The agreement was to pay $ XXXX/mo for 3 years without missing a payment. I then would be taken off as a co-signer to that loan, and to discuss a buy out option on mine at the end of the term. I agreed. It was a verbal agreement via phone. Nothing was signed. I payed them {$500.00} at the time of the agreement XX/XX/XXXX, and the 1st automatic payment was at the end of that month. Then they automatically withdrew payments of {$150.00} ( from XX/XX/XXXX ) on, or around the last day of the month for the next 3 years. 
I called them XX/XX/XXXX to verify how much longer I needed to pay. They had no record of the agreement that was made. They told me I still had to keep paying, do a buy out option, or make payments upwards of $ 300/mo. But they did not say for how many years. They said only a small percentage was actually going to the loan itself, and since the payment was going towards XXXX defaulted loans ( mine and the co-signed XXXX ), only about {$4.00} of the {$150.00} was being applied to each outstanding loan balance. 
The director of finance at my job told me to ask for an amortization because they are required to give that. I asked XXXX for an amortization of the payments to see where the money was being applied but they said they could not provide me with one. I talked to XXXX XXXX ( works for XXXX ) about trying a buy out for {$2500.00}. I had {$2100.00} in savings and checking combined. I offered him that, but he refused. And he had to have all the money today or the offer was no good. 
I contacted Navient, who transferred me to their " account portfolio manager '' and I told her the situation. I told her I believed the collection agency Navient sent me over to was fraudulent. But the lady said there was nothing she could do. Of course I could hardly understand her because she was from XXXX. I asked her if I could go back to paying Navient directly. She said no. She could only tell me she was affiliated with Navient, but I was talking to a separate company. And that she was going to be assigning a different collection agency ( XXXX XXXX ). I did not agree to that but she did not change her mind. I have received XXXX letters, XXXX from XXXX XXXX and the other from XXXX XXXX offering a buy out option on the co-signed loan. 
I do not know which companies to trust. I do n't think Navient is very trustworthy either. I believe the private loan side is in cahoots with the collection agencies they 're assigning. I can not find an unbiased source to talk to for help, other than the CFPB.

Company: SCOTTRADE BANK
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I discovered that {$25000.00} was transferred from my checking account to my Scottrade account without my approval. I contacted Scottrade and was informed that I would need to fax in a wire transfer form to get the money returned to my account. Later, I was told that I would need to wait XXXX business days before they could return my money. Because my overdraft protection was only good up to {$500.00}, my bank said that they would reject the transaction and return the money to my account since I was overdrawn by {$4000.00}. 

My bank was gracious enough to waive all the fees associated with this transaction. Scottrade, however, sent me a letter blaming me for this incident ; saying that I had inadvertently disclosed my account credentials or had a malicious virus or spyware on my computer and wanted me to sign an agreement that would basically blame me for any future security breaches if I did not change my password every month. It turns out that it is totally their fault because last XXXX, someone hacked into their eCheck secure and stole everone 's information. I am now requesting that my Scottrade account be terminated. I have also placed a security freeze on my credit at XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.
