Consumer complaint received 2015-05-21
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madame, During period of XXXX to XXXX, I had an account with Bank Of America ( BOA ) and also had an associated Credit card with them. I have been very disciplined with my financial affairs to date and never had any history of even late payments towards any bills. I left XXXX for good in XXXX, to my home country as my working visa got expired. Also I closed my BOA accounts in XXXX XXXX. 

As per my understanding, the associated credit card also would have got closed.There was absolutely no indication from the bank that the Credit card needed to be closed separately and that it does not go along with closure of my main bank accounts. However, it looks like it did not happened. 
An auto renewal cost from XXXX got applied to my credit card on XXXX XXXX which was quite unexpected since i had already sent in a request for closing the account with XXXX and received an email from them clearly stating that it had been closed way back in XXXX XXXX. 
Worst case being that i was unaware of this charge to my credit card since, the credit card statement was NOT Paperless and all intimation regarding the pending payment could not reach me, as I was out XXXX. Also, as my account was closed, I was not in a position to check the account status online. 

Now, I came back to XXXX on XXXX XXXX and opened up new Account with BOA. To my surprise, I see that there is a pending credit card payment of {$340.00} charged on me - towards Annual Payment charges and late fees. 

My contention is that, these charges being baseless and also, there was NO way I would have been aware of them, I am in no way to be considered as a " defaulter ''. Furthermore, there was no communication through email about any of these charges. Now, it has effected my credit report also very badly leaving me in no position to apply for a credit card or any other financial services from any bank for absolutely no discrepancy from my side. 

Talked couple of times with BOA Credit department, but as per them they could not help me in the matter.In the context I would like to seek following help from your end : 1 ] Reverse the pending charges and payments, for the reasons stated above and hence am not liable for the issue. 
2 ] My Credit Report needs to be refreshed by withdrawal of reported " default payments ''. 

Thanking You, Yours Sincerely XXXX

I applied for a mortgage refinance. I was approved. I went through all the disclosures, paid for an appraisal and submitted all my personal financial documentation.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I arranged a monthly payment plan with my local hospital, Maine XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital for unpaid balances. The hospital officer, Mr. XXXX XXXX agreed to this and had his assistant XXXX XXXX approved putting additional amounts on the balance being paid down. After 2-3 years or more of accepting these payments the hospital, MrXXXX XXXX, unilaterally demanded I renegotiate the payment plan. I refused. In response the hospital hired or sold my debt to a collection agency in XXXX named Marcam.  Marcam harrassed me and my husband for the next couple of years by continuously sending erroneous bills. These bills were wrong because we were making those agreed upon payments. In fact we continue to make those agreed upon payments. 

Since the harrassing letters continued from Marcam, sometimes 6 or more a month, I sent them a registered cease and desist letter which they received, and signed for, on XX/XX/2020. Unfortunately the harrassing l etters from Marcam have continued to come. I have received 3 now since they signed for the cease and desist letter. I have no relationship with Marcam no r do I not want one.  Meanwhile I continue to make the agreed upon payments to this local hospital, Maine XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital in  XXXX, Maine.

Complaint:
I have been disputing some items on my credit report consistently for almost a year now and I haven't received any results or response throughout this process. I'm really trying to progress forward in my life and there are items on my report that hinder this. I haven't received any response for them and it's frustrating because I can't get a home or even get jobs because of some of these accounts. Something needs to be done.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
BEWARE CITIBANK! Three days before the loan closing I learned that Citibank had increased the interest rate on my refi loan without my knowledge or consent. The XXXX Loan Application, the Truth in Lending Disclosure Statement, Citibank 's letter locking in the rate, the Good Faith Estimate and many discussions and notes based on discussions with the loan officer specified 3.75 %. When the closing department phoned three days before it was to close, I learned that it had been increased to 3.875 %. My personal financial circumstances required me to go through with the loan. I am a single XXXX-year old homeowner woman. I doubt they expected me to know the cost of that very slight increase in interest rate would cost me over almost {$8000.00} over the 30 year loan period.

Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I received noticed of a collection from EOS CCA on XX/XX/2020. I immediately checked my credit report and noticed this negative item from EOS CCA was reporting negative information on my report. I send a letter certified mail to EOS CCA on XX/XX/2020 asking them to validate the debt. I never received any information validating the date. On XX/XX/2020 I received a second notice from EOS CCA, but not validation proving this debt was actually owed by me. I have no knowledge of this account and would like this account deleted from my credit report. This company is in major violation of the FCRA. I have enclosed documents to support my claim. Also there is a discrepancy in the reporting balance from XXXX  verses from EOS CCA. XXXX  is reporting a balance of XXXX and EOS reporting a balance of XXXX. How do I know this is accurate. If XXXX  validated this account like they claimed the balances should match. XXXX  actually deleted this account off my report because they could not validate the account so why is XXXX  still reporting this account. I highly doubt they verified this info or the balances would match and they would have sent me supporting correspondence. Please delete this erroneous account from my credit file.

Complaint:
XXXX Equifax XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. Box XXXX XXXX PA XXXX XXXX XXXX Is reporting false information on my Credit Report. I sent a letter of dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, in which I provided proof of my identity, an Affidavit and other documentation in support of my legal dispute. I followed up with further correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX, to ensure every possible document required was served! 

I sent the same information to all three of the credit bureaus on the same date yet only XXXX, has taken the immediate action necessary to remedy this wrong against my credit report! I submitted a request to XXXX online requesting my login details be reset, yet they failed to respond in the promised 24hrs. I called Equifax, and they asked me to identify myself by testing me with false information which I disputed and outdated information which should have been removed in XXXX. The first customer service representative correctly identified me, however, when I passed on to his colleague who asked the same questions concerning information which shouldn't be on my credit file she claimed to not be able to positively identify me. When I asked to speak with a supervisor I was placed on hold for an hour after which time I hung up! 

The continued reporting of false information on my credit report is adversely impacting my personal and professional finances. During this time of COVID-19 Pandemic, that is completely unacceptable.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MS
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I received a call from Bank of America in XXXX 2014 that they suspected a checking account was being opened in my name fraudulently. I confirmed that yes, it was fraud and that I had not opened any accounts with them. I then contacted all credit bureaus, the FTC and filed a policy report for identity theft. The credit bureau reports confirm identify theft and removed the information from my credit report. I assumed that I took all necessary steps to correct this issue, but this week as trying to open an account with my credit union, they ran a XXXX report and it indicated that Bank of America charged off {$1900.00} in my name and upon calling Bank of America to have this removed, they are now telling me that they have no record of any of this 2 years ago and that it is going to take 30 days for them to complete the investigation. # XXXX, if they called me and removed it from my credit, why do n't they have record of it and # XXXX, I do n't have 30 days for them to complete this for me, as my lease is up on XXXX. I need them to find the information from XXXX and at least provide an email or statement to provide to the bank and they are unwilling to do any of this. Even after I offered to provide them the XXXX Report finding, FTC reference number and police report. I did go ahead and file a dispute with XXXX individually, but they also indicated it could take up to XXXX days.
