Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint against the unlawful practices of Bank of America that takes advantage of its vulnerable customers. I am a customer of Bank of America since XX/XX/XXXX. My checking account has settings to prohibit any debits, charges to and transfers from the account if there are insufficient funds to cover the transaction. Unfortunately, Bank of America does not honor its end of the bargain and on a separate occasions let my checking account debited, and the next day slapped me with {$35.00} late fee. It happened last year. I asked the bank not to honor any transactions in case of insufficient funds, but it did. The bank never refunded my {$35.00} late fee. It happened again this year. Bank of America allowed the transfer transaction to hit my checking account though I had insufficient funds, then conveniently slapped me with the late fee the next day. 
My second concern with the bank 's unlawful practice is the Alert system. With other banks, such as XXXX, XXXX, I get notified right the same moment any transaction happens in my account. However, Bank of America failed to alert me the same day about the insufficient funds in order I could rectify the situation and deposit the funds. Instead, Bank of America sent me the alert the next day- XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. I immediately deposited the check to cover the difference and called the bank to see if any further actions were needed to take care of the insufficient funds. The rep asked me to call the next day - on the XX/XX/XXXX to get my credit back. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I called twice, spoke to XXXX who refused to credit the late fee, and did not transfer me to her supervisor XXXX , stating that the latter would not credit the late fee.Then I called again and spoke to another rep, and then her supervisor XXXX , who also refused to credit the {$35.00} late fee. Also, in response to my inquiry that this is Bank of America error, as it failed to notify me on a timely fashion about the negative balance in my account, as well as it allowed the transaction to go through in spite of my prohibition in case of insufficient funds, this supervisor said that Bank of America will do this again in future, if it wants - '' This is at the discretion of the bank ''.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: OR
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint:
I am the co-signer on my daughters student loans. There are XXXX separate loans for a total of app {$70000.00}. She was required to start paying them back six months after graduating from XXXX in XXXX. At the same time she was to start making payments I had to file a chapter XXXX bankruptcy. Navient immediately told her she did not have to make any payments while I was in bankruptcy ( they automatically put her loans into forbearance ) when my bankruptcy ended in XXXX they had tacked on a additional {$23000.00} in interest and immediately stated harassing the both of us for repayments. I do not think it was right for them to put the loans into forbearance because I was in bankruptcy. She never filed bankruptcy and was more than capable of making the payments for the past five years. Now she owes app {$93000.00} instead of {$70000.00}. I have been helping her make the payments for the last six months. My main concern is the extra {$23000.00} in interest. It seems what they did should be unlawful to automatically put her loans into forbearance and tack on that much interest which is going to make it even harder to stay current on these loans for the next 25 years.

State: CA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I received a private student loan from XXXX XXXX ( now called Navient ) for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. When I XXXX I had the loans consolidated in XXXX XXXX through XXXX ( now called XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I was still paying off federal loans through Navient, and in XXXX my student loan payment increased and I thought it was because my federal loan repayment plan changed. I continued to pay through XXXX. 

After speaking to a financial advisor and looking at all my documents they said that I have been paying XXXX companies for the same private loan. I was shocked and upset. I called Navient and they told me they had no record of a consolidation filed. I then contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and sent Navient copies of the cleared checks they received and all of a sudden it showed up on their documents. When I last spoke with a representative from Navient they changed their story saying there was a consolidation and that what I have been paying for since XXXX is the interest due on the private loans. That makes no sense, because the consolidation from XXXX covered all my private loans thus I would have no accrued interest owed to them. I have contacted Navient saying I will not pay the rest of the balance because I have been charged by mistake, and sent them all the correct documents, yet they continue to call me everyday.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Hello everybody and thank you for your help. 
On or about XXXX XXXX I attempted to deposit {$1900.00} to my Santander Bank account via ATM at XXXX XXXX branch of Santander, XXXX, MA ( I used ATM that is furthest from the entrance ). ATM took the money but did not deposit any amount on my account, neither it gave it back to me, neither ATM provided receipt. At the spot I contacted customer service of the bank and representative assured me : that I can leave that location, money will go nowhere, they will deposit provisional credit while they are conducting an investigation. Reference number for the call and opened case is : XXXX As the result {$1900.00} were deposited as provisional credit. 

Yesterday ( XXXX XXXX ), I received a letter from the bank stating that there was NO error found on their side and they will take provisional credit back on XXXX/XXXX/2016 ( and they took it ). 

Today ( XXXX XXXX ) I called their Card Claims Contact Center. XXXX, a representative, and XXXX, her supervisor, told me that ATM team did not find any excess of cash in the ATM where I deposited my money. Therefore they closed the case and withdrew {$1900.00} back making my balance negative ( which causes a potential problem that bank will charge fee if I ever attempt to use my card ). 
As the result of the conversation the new claim and complaint about how case was handled by them was opened. Ref # XXXX, complaint # XXXX. I demanded a better investigation to be done. XXXX and XXXX assured me that Fraud Prevention team and Card Claims team both will be involved, as well as they will be using video recording from the cameras at the spot. 

Imagine yourself in my shoes, when bank took {$1900.00} and make you pay for it. This amount of money is not a needle in the haystack and if Santander bank has internal problem of theft, unprofessionalism, problem of audit or not properly working ATMs it must deal with it but not customers. 

I have some questions/suggestions if that will help : 1 ) why it took them more than a month to investigate? Is n't it supposed be under 30 days? 
2 ) what will they do differently during the reopened case.

In addition, XXXX was unable to " supply specific reasons why [ they ] have denied [ my ] application.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I recently reviewed my credit and noticed two accounts that were not mine at Synchrony Bank one at Walmart which was removed for Fraud by Synchrony Bank and another at Ashley Furniture not removed. I never signed or ordered any furniture from Ashley Furniture. I live in a fully furnished apartment in XXXX XXXX. I received a letter because, I had to go to the post office and have any mail at the XXXX XXXX address used forwarded to my address in XXXX XXXX, denying my claim of fraud from Synchrony Bank for Ashley Furniture, unbelievable as they honored the Walmart fraud complaint. I never made any payments, I never signed a contract and the furniture was delivered to an address that I am not affiliated with nor did I sign for any furniture. Who ever this person is used my information and a different address. I asked Synchrony Bank to verify signatures on the contract etc., They told me they did. That is a lie, they never asked me for my signature so how could they compare it to the contract? I am disputing this account as fraud. I was told on X/XX/2017 to go to the furniture store and was given the address to the store by a Synchrony Bank person to get a letter stating that it was not me. I went to Ashley Furniture on X/XX/2017 and the manager said they have nothing to do with it that it is the bank that handles it. Why would a rep. from Synchrony send me to the Furniture store? I am concerned that this has been handled inappropriately. I do not accept the way this was handled.
