Complaint:
Bank of America provided me with a printout of fees assessed to my home loan mortgage account dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Included in this accounting are fees totaling {$360.00} for Property Inspections, {$27.00} in fees for photos, {$70.00} in fees for yard maintenance, {$400.00} in fees as Litigation Management charge, and {$420.00} in Trustee Attorney fees. 
The maximum charge that may be assessed by Bank of America for Trustee Attorney fee is {$420.00} not {$420.00}. Bank of America overcharged me by assessing my home loan mortgage account by {$2.00}. The overcharge is to be credited to my home loan mortgage account. Additionally, Bank of America has erroneously started the foreclosure process and caused the recording of a Notice of Default. Therefore, there is no justification for any Trustee Attorney fees and the fee is to be reversed. 
The yard maintenance fee should not have been assessed to my home loan mortgage account in XXXX XXXX as I was home and no one announced themselves at my front door to gain my permission to be on my property, let alone maintain my yard. Just to be clear, NO YARD MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF IN THE MONTH OF XXXX XXXX. I know this because that is the month and year I did sustain property damaged at the cause of a neighbor and I will never forget the incident or events occurring around this time related to my property. The Yard Maintenance Service fee should not have been assessed and is to be reversed. 
If Bank of America caused photos to be taken of my property as represented within the fees assessed to and associated with my home loan mortgage account, Bank of America must justify the charge. Otherwise, the photo fees should not have been assessed and are to be reversed. Additionally, please provide copies of all photos for which fees have been assessed my home loan mortgage account regardless of any reversal of the fees assessed. 
It is unclear what services are related to the {$400.00} charge described as Litigation Management Fee. Bank of America must justify the fee or reverse the charges. 
Bank of America has been assessing Property Inspection Fees to my home loan mortgage account since XXXX without justification or cause. The only reason Property Inspections fees are assessed to a home loan mortgage account is due to a necessary evaluation of the property. Bank of America has proclaimed I am not pending in the modification or loss mitigation processes and that Bank of America is not dual tracking by having removed me from the modification process in error and stating the foreclosure process, which would be the only other justifiable reason for any property inspections. Bank of America must justify the Property Inspections and the Property Inspection Fees or reverse the charges assessed to my home loan mortgage account.
