Bank of America had court proceedings in reguards to obtaining ownership of my home without infirming me claiming thet did not have no clue where I was located .Which is not true because along with this complaint I will fax to you documentation showing they knew exactly where I was and could have informed and sent paper work to the right address so I could of been at them court proceedings. Ihave reason to believe Bank of A MERICA SUBMITTED FALSE GOOD FAITH AFFIDAVITS in order to steer the courts into believing that they could not inform me .Which in turn took away my rights to obtain back ownership of my house and any other possibilities in this matter.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: HI
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
I have a credit card with Bank of America that i have been trying to pay off for years. I have XXXX tiers of balances:1 ) Purcahse@7.24 % interest2 ) Direct Deposit and Check Cash advances@14.99 % interest3 ) Bank Cash Advances@19.24 % interest. 
I made the minimum payment of {$170.00} for XXXX 2015 that was due in XXXX 2015 on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I also made an additional payment of {$1100.00} to clear up my Bank Cash advances balance of {$1100.00} that had the highest interest rate of 19.24 %. The total payment made on XXXX/XXXX/2015 was for {$1300.00}. 

When I received my XXXX statement after making the minimum payment of {$170.00} as well as the additional {$1300.00}, which should have cleared up my " Cash Advance '' balance, the statement reflected a balance of {$320.00} under the Cash Advance tier. 

In addition, the second highest interest rate tier balance, Direct Deposit and Check Cash advances, went from " balance subject to interest rate '' of {$1500.00} in XXXX 2015 to {$1600.00} in XXXX 2015. How can my balance grow if I made the minimum payment AND paid an additional amount. This brings into question all of my past billing statements with Bank of America that I have not reviewed as carefully. I would like a full review of my payment history and balances by the bank for the past 5 years. I do not trust that tehya re billing me accurately and fairly.

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
When XXXX XXXX became Navient, 1 ) bills did not arrive in a timely fashion. 2 ) My payments were split between XXXX different loans thus making me short on both 3 ) When I called to inquire, the CS reps & their supervisors were kind but their info was not what I saw on line. 
4 ) The payment addresses for the borrower were never consistent. 5 ) I had tried to pay on line via bill pay & switched to a check in the mail. I was told by a rep the computer decides how to split the payment ( interest, principal, amt due ) so I should make my envelope heavier, pay the extra postage & the computer will XXXX it out so a human has to open it. 6 ) The paper bills that do arrive do not accurately indicate the borrower, loan id number or acct number. 7 ) When I finally get a bill, there is ALWAYS a past due amt and when questioned why a original bill was never generated, no XXXX can answer. 8 ) The bills do not indicate if the loan is federal or private. 9 ) if I print off my statement at Navient.com- I can see which loans are private/federal but when speaking to a rep, they insist the XXXX loans are federal. 10 ) I requested payoff figures for all loans & stopped paying since the payments were NOT being applied to the correct loan. As I tried to apply to another company to transfer the loans, Navient dropped my fico score XXXX points. XXXX ) The calls from XXXX, XXXX, etc.. begin a XXXX, continue all day including my cell at work ( in an XXXX ) and if I do pick up, it is a recording telling me this is XXXX- call another number. if it is a weekend, the office is closed. 12 ) Every individual I speak to I ask that the call be recorded and that I have every intent to pay but Navient has to be accountable to apply my payment to the correct loan. 13 ) When I printed off the payments applied to loans, there is no consistency of what is applied to interest, principal or balance. XXXX ) I have contacted the customer advocate directly & the CEO of Navient. The advocate provided me with payoff figures but can not stop the calls or explain the no bills & past due amounts. My husband & I are salary. He as XXXX XXXX, if he has a XXXX, we need to pay out of XXXX We will not allow navient to tap into out bank account, we expect bills in a timely fashion & we expect Navient to be accountable. The billing/computer system is confusing & vague. It appears to be a purposeful attempt to confuse, over bill, & ruin the credit rating of the customer. Thank you

Complaint:
Wife and I consolidated Parent-Plus loans and other student loans for my wife into one loan. We subsequently were told we could take an " income sensitive '' adjustment. We were not aware that the interest kept compounding during the deferment period. The end result is we 've been paying on a $ XXXX loan and have paid nearly twice that amount so far ( $ XXXX ) and yet we still face a $ XXXX balance. Essentially, we have paid for the loan two times over. Also, the interest rate at the time of consolidation was 9 % and they wo n't adjust it at all when I inquired.

They will not give you any information other than the company name, Lionstone Holdings Group and that it 's a " XXXX XXXX '' office. They say that it 's a legal office and it 's not.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I 'd like to report a CRA/UDAAP issue with my credit card account from Bank of America as they have operated in a practice that is deceiving to consumers. As a consumer, I have a XXXX % payment performance and have never missed a payment in my life on anything. With Bank of America, I had a closing date on my credit card of XXXX/XXXX/2016 and I therefore paid my bill on XXXX/XXXX/2016 via electronic transfer from my checking to credit card account. In addition, I paid extra during the month to make progress on paying down my debt. Instead, Bank of America credited my payment to the previous month ( not quite sure why ) so by being proactive and paying the date following my closing I was penalized. They have offered to waive my late fee but reported that this will be transmitted to the credit bureaus which I will be disputing with the credit bureaus. My goal is to have this noted and to have an advocate as I seek to adjust my credit bureau reporting.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
My experience with XXXX/Navient mirrors the current CPFB complaint. When I was unable to make full payments on my loans, both XXXX and Navient representatives recommended deferment and forbearance rather than income-sensitive repayment options that were also available. I did tell the reps that I could pay something but I was told that forbearance was a better option. This has led to a staggering amount of interest that continues to compound, essentially nullifying my monthly payment. The whole payment goes toward interest rather than principle, it does n't seem that the loan will ever be paid. Although I did apply for and was approved for an income sensitive repayment plan, it 's too late. 

A second issue I encountered was with the service provided when XXXX transitioned to Navient. I was told that I could continental to make payments online, however that was not the case. I thought I was making my regular payments and receiving email confirmations. However, I actually needed to call and have a rep set me up for online payments. I never received any notification that my payments were n't received, which meant that more interest and fees were added. 

When I read that the CPFB was investigating this, I immediately recognized my own experience and wanted to register my complaint. I hope that there is some relief in sight that does n't involve bankruptcy.
