Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX
Product: Credit card
Issue: Balance transfer

Complaint:
I received a credit card solicitation from Bank of America in the mail to transfer high interest CC debt onto a Bank of America CC offering 0 % interest for two years with a 3 % balance transfer fee. I filled out the provided application in the BOA website that I was directed to in the solicitation and entered all the information asked for along with the {$8000.00} dollar amount of credit I needed to pay off the high interest card. I was expecting to be either approved for that whole $ XXXX amount or disapproved entirely. I immediately received an approval but for only XXXX % of the amount of the balance transfer I was asking to be credited. I was going to close the other high interest rate card if I was approved to eliminate the number of CC 's I have to better my Credit Score so that I could consolidate existing CC debt in a low interest personal or heloc loan. Instead, now I have an unwanted CC that I paid {$75.00} for, ( 3 % of balance ) which lowered my credit score XXXX to XXXX points. There was no disclosure to warn me that if I applied and was n't approved for the entire requested amount that I would be approved and given a CC for a lesser amount. This is a bait and switch unfair practice and I would like to know what my options are to rectify the damage that was done to my credit score.

Complaint:
Good morning in 2008, unknowingly to me there was a default judgement against me for XXXX, with an original creditor of washington mutual, I have never had a washington mutual account, I was an authorized user on some of my friends accounts but not sure if one defaulted. Also I was never notified of the court proceeding or served. Fast forward to recently, instead of hiring a lawyer and going through a hassle of trying to fight a default judgement I agreed to a settlement and explained to the debt collector that it is not my debt nor was I ever aware or notified of this debt but I am willing to settle it we agreed on the amount a few days ago. I asked the debt collector to look at the files and you can see I was never the main account holder XXXX XXXX seize he does not have access to the files or he ca n't do anything for me but take my money for a debt legally speaking should n't have been mine in the first place. The debt collector can not legally validate the debt, he should not be accepting my money. Also he wo n't do the right thing in vacating the debt that was n't my legal responsibility in the first place.

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

Complaint:
I have XXXX credit cards issued by the Bank of America. I have had them for several years. I set up an auto pay to cover the minimum balance in XXXX but I did not owe any money so the auto pay were refunded to me. XXXX XXXX I started carrying a balance on these cards. Today I noticed that I was being charged a late fee of XXXX dollars even though I have an auto pay set up on both of these account. I called the company and discovered that I have been being charged these fees since my XXXX statement. The auto pay was coming out each month on the XXXX day of the month but my due date was the XXXX day. 
I did not pay attention to my statements every month so I did not notice the charges and call the company until today. I thought it would be a simple matter to get this corrected and get a refund. 
Not only did Bank of America refuse to refund my money they did not tell me how to make my auto pay date and my due date the same to correct future errors. I feel that I have been cheated. The woman I spoke to XXXX XXXX told me this was my fault and my fault alone because I did not pay attention to my statements. She refused to refund me any money even for the XXXX late fee because the fee was due yesterday. Can you help me? I feel that Bank of America knew that my auto pays were coming out of my bank after my due date for many months and that we are equally to blame therefore they should accommodate me by crediting some of the late fees. They do get there payment every month via an auto pay system that even XXXX admits is antiquated and confusing. XXXX apologized profusely " for the inconvenience '' but refused to return any money or even tell me how to avoid this in the future.

Company: Big Picture Loans, LLC
State: FL
Product: Payday loan
Issue: Charged bank acct wrong day or amt

Complaint:
I was in a bind due to my roommate moving out and against my better judgement applied for a {$300.00} payday loan from Big Picture Loans. As soon as it came for my first payment to come out, my hesitation was confirmed. Even though I had sufficient funds on the date of withdraw, the payment was never taken from my account and I was charged an NSF fee that even my bank could n't make sense of and promptly refunded. I received no phone call from the company. 
Two weeks later, I received another NSF fee. I could n't figure out why sense I had available funds. When I called my bank they could n't explain why either until they discovered that the withdrawal was attempted the previous day as opposed to the agreed upon date. 
I attempted to email customer service with the issue and was advised to call the number. I did twice to have the line disconnect both times. I am not trying to default on a loan and would like to pay back what I owe but obviously now I have racked additional fees for " late payments '' which were no fault of my own.

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

Complaint:
Bank of America continually uses their various account access resources ( web module, mobile app, etc. ) to display incorrect balances for my account, causing me to confidently make purchases for which there are no actual funds. These transactions results in irreparable " overdraft fees '' which are exorbitant and unnecessary. I have repeatedly asked that my ACTUAL balance be shown, that my transactions be made in chronological order, and not in a predatory hierarchy, and that transactions for which there are no funds simply be denied rather than overdrafted. When I bring up these concerns I 'm assured that my concerns will be met. I write this currently overdrawn, because an overdraft fee was issued when my account displayed one amount of money, and a purchase was made for LESS than that amount of money. I was told this was because I did n't ACTUALLY have that much money in my account at the time of purchase ... .well then why in XXXX 's name did your app, your website and your ATM all say I did??

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX, Experian and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

State: FL
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:
I have had my loans for now for almost 10 years. yes I have put them in forbearance a few times due to hard times. I have received multiple notices throughout this time to consolidate the loans and it has always benefited me to do so. This time under Navient being my servicer I felt cheated and lied to. I called and asked about benefits in consolidating my loans with Navient and they responded that if I consolidated I would have less payments to make and therefore less interest would accumulate on the accounts ( at the time I had multiple subsidized and multiple unsubsidized loans. After I consolidated I found out I lost an interest rate deduction of .XXXX % from a previous consolidation with the Department of Education ( previous servicer ). After consolidating my interest rate went from XXXX % back up to XXXX % which on {$60000.00} is a big deal -NO WHERE WAS IT WRITTEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME. Unfortunately for me I decided to go back to school right before the great recession in 2007 so my interest rates are higher than my mortgage and my car loans combined. Why am I paying so much interest for an education! back to Navient. - One time I called in telling them I wanted to pay off my XXXX % loan with a lump sum payment. They were arguing with me on how to apply the payment telling me I needed to use {$2000.00} of my {$10000.00} payment towards some interest on the that did n't even exist and had n't accused yet if I want to pay off that loan in full. I did n't understand it but gave her the {$10000.00} payment and who knows how she applied. All I know is this - I 'VE HAD MY STUDENT LOANS FOR 10 YEARS - I borrowed XXXX and now I owe {$62000.00} - I made a lump sum payment of {$10000.00} - do the math - with the way my loans are accruing interest I will never pay them off, I 'm on the income based plan but with everyone wanting to consolidate me all the time ( XXXX already now ) I keep losing my " time '' under this plan and I keep starting over .... oh right I lost that too when I consolidated and she did n't say anything about that when I called either. My mom does n't understand why I have to report my income every year to the Federal Gov so they can determine my payment. Feels like modern day slavery to me except now it anyone with a student loan that is a slave.. We will never pay off this debt with the way this company is compounding interest upon interest upon interest. something needs to done with the amount of interest I am paying. Why am I paying more interest to the government for my education than I am to private banks for my mortgage or for my car or for anything else I want to borrow money for????? - SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE!!
