Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OR
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
Citibank decided to close my checking account. And they won't say why. That I don't care about so much. Each bank has it's risk department and that is fine. What I do have a problem with is they are saying the funds in the account are not mine. Which is not true. That money was transferred from MY XXXX  XXXX account into the Citibank account. So the fact they are trying to keep the money means they are trying to steal from me. It was a very simple ACH transfer from MY account at XXXX XXXX to My account at Citibank. I would like this dealt with asap as I'm trying to start a business and literally every dollar matters. I don't have {$170.00} to just give to Citibank. And they won't provide any account documentation. They offered no appeal process. And I'm pretty sure the phone rep called me a XXXX. So also XXXX. I want this dealt with immediately and I want my money back plus interest. This is very quickly going to turn into a lawsuit if not dealt with properly.

Privacy is defined as the right not to have ones personal matters disclosed or publicized ; I am a living man and I have the right to be left alone. In addition to consumers having the right to privacy your company is in violation of UCC9-109 ( d ) ( 5 ) which states that no creditor can transfer an assignment of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes which is for the purpose of collection only. '' Which is what SPIRE RECOVERY SERVICES is doing by demanding I owe an alleged debt.

Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
I receive a monthly credit score report furnished by XXXX. I noticed that my credit score dropped from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) on my most recent statement. I have no outstanding debt outside of my student loans and all of my bills are paid on time. I obtained my equifax credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and there was nothing outstanding, but there was a collection reported. The company CBE Group had a collection for {$49.00}. The report did not provide anything other than the date assigned ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the date of first delinquency ( XX/XX/XXXX ), date reported ( XX/XX/XXXX ) the last XXXX digits of an account number, and a creditor classification : retail. I have lived at the same address and have had the same phone number for 6 years. I NEVER received any type of communication from CBE. I 've NEVER received any communication of any sort saying my account was going into collections. There were no outstanding accounts on my credit report. I have tried repeatedly to contact CBE Group by phone and through their website ( I ca n't write to them because they did n't include a mailing address on the report and I never received a letter ) and I have n't been able to get to anyone. I try to call the phone number on the website XXXX, I can get through the first prompt and then the second prompt disconnects the call. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. The first thing I need is to know who the creditor is and I ca n't even get that. This mistake is causing a negative impact on my credit and I ca n't even get information on who I did n't pay. Just an aside, when I tried to look up CBE I noticed a number of pending lawsuits for fraudulent reporting. Please tell me what to do.

Sub-product: (CD) Certificate of deposit
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I have a Bank of America Money Market account open a couple of years ago. Last year year in XXXX XXXX my balance went down to {$500.00} approximate. The bank did not notify me that they will be charging a monthly maintenance fee of {$12.00} after that. I do n't get a paper statement, only today I noticed that the money market balance was down to {$380.00} only due to several months of {$12.00} monthly maintenance fee they were charging. At least Bank of America should notify me that they will start charging fees. I am senior citizen on fix income. Plus I have been a customer of Bank of America since XXXX. All our home loan, equity line of credit, visa are with them for 40 years. Whatever happened to customer loyalty? 
I asked if they could waive these monthly maintenance fee. But they said NO. So I would like to WARN other Bank of America customers for FEES that are popping UP left and right. they also started charging me for safe deposit box fees since last year. I do not receive paper statements because they also charged for that now. Everything has to be on-line. There should be at least grandfather policies for being loyal customers. Bank of America should at least refund the monthly maintenance fee for 11 months they took away from me. ALSO THEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERATE FOR SENIOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE NOT TECHNICAL SAVY.

Issue: Other transaction issues

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went to a Bank of America ( BoA ) branch on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD to set up an automatic bank transfer to XXXX XXXX to pay my landlord their rent. On XX/XX/XXXX the funds were extracted out of my account and transferred to the account set up on the bank transfer. On XXXX my landlord notified me that they had not received the funds and the information they provided for the account transfer ( routing & account # ) was wrong. I immediately contacted BoA national office and was told they needed to check and I would receive a call back. On approximately XX/XX/XXXX I returned the call, having heard nothing, and was told there was nothing they could do but I could reach out to the local branch to find a resolution. On XX/XX/XXXX I took off of work to make an appointment with BoA in XXXX XXXX. There I worked with an associate who, after 3 hours of work and getting the run around by BoA, was able to draft an unofficial letter requesting the funds. This letter was faxed to XXXX XXXX. Unable to receive any more information, on XX/XX/XXXX I called back to the local branch and was told that XXXX XXXX claimed it was not the correct letter. They needed a " letter of indemnity '' from BoA. On XX/XX/XXXX BoA generated what I was told was the most official letter they could provide. This letter simply stated that funds were transferred out of my account to XXXX XXXX. Again, XXXX XXXX said this was not enough. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and this issue is still without a resolution. I know that it is illegal for individuals to spend money that they received incorrectly. So I am just looking for BoA to work with XXXX XXXX to retrieve the incorrectly transferred funds.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about my loan

Complaint:
On multiple, yet separate occasions, I have submitted online payments towards my monthly bill for Navient. Although paying before the due date, I seem to get an email stating that my account is past due. When looking at my online statement, I see a notice stating " payment not processed ''. Of course, I called my bank to see if it was an issue on their end, and it was n't. I made another payment, and instead of cancelling the second payment, Navient has accepted the payment, and continued to charge me for the next month. I can prove, mind you, that I have not been late on any monthly payments. I also had to consolidate my loans after XXXX XXXX closed, causing my balance to double. I can not defer payments, they will not lower payments, and they keep insisting on forbearance for a year, paying only what I can. I have done this once, and noticed that my interested doubled. No thank you. Let me also add that you can no longer make payments online using a credit card. You have to call and use a debit card to make a payment over the phone, and customer service is not the easiest to deal with.

State: NJ
Product: Money transfers
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I am a customer of Bank of America. Whenever I go online and transfer money from my checking account to pay back money I borrowed from the checking account 's credit line, the money is debited immediately from my checking account. However it takes from one to three days for the money to be credited to my credit line. The bank 's customer service reps tell me the delay is caused by " processing. '' What kind of processing could there be? It 's all money under XXXX name in XXXX bank. All the transfers are done on computers. I was also told that transferring money from checking to savings does not require " processing. '' The money is credited immediately to the savings account. I was also told that this is bank policy ; they are not following any government regulations in handling my money. I suspect that the delay in crediting me is a money-making device for the bank. By removing money from my checking account immediately, the bank can reduce the interest it pays me for funds in my checking account. The bank also has use of my money and I do n't. But the third feature is the most significant. By delaying the crediting of my credit line, the bank can continue to charge me 18 percent for the borrowed funds. If you multiply the money the bank makes on this kind of transaction by all the customers who use their credit lines, you are looking at a huge sum. Please look into this for me.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
I have carried a Bank of America XXXX for two decades. I have a {$25000.00} credit limit, which I never approach. I pay every monthly balance in full and on time, and have never had an interest or late payment fee. About once or twice a year, a " hold '' is placed on my account for reasons which are never explained. After hassles XXXX as detailed in the attached materials ), the holds are removed. I am asked to review recent charges, and these have always been from local vendors or individuals with whom we do business regularly. I have complained about this regularly, and am simply told that BOA is trying to protect me from fraud, and that they can not share the reasons for which the holds were placed. 
Most recently, I have had three such holds in the past few weeks, including XXXX in a 24 hour period. I have pleaded for an explanation, and have simply been told the same thing : BOA monitors cards and places holds for various reasons which they can not share. 

I should probably just replace this card ; I have another card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX which I use for business and some travel, and have never had such an experience. In fact, I sometimes use that card when my XXXX is declined. The problem with replacement, beyond the hassle it would create, is that by applying for such a high-limit card while another card is still active I would probably trigger an adverse credit report event. Thus, BOA has effectively trapped me in a situation where I have ongoing problems with their card, but can not get out of the card without suffering adverse consequences.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I disputed information on a Bank of America Home Loans account that had been sold to XXXX Bank XX/XX/XXXX. The reason for the dispute was because the Bank of America account still had a status of " Open '' even though the account was sold four years earlier. Prior to creating the dispute with XXXX there had been no missed payments on this account as payments were being DEFERRED for 10 years from the initiation of the loan. XX/XX/XXXX the investigation was completed and correctly changed the status of the account to " Closed ''. However, XXXX now shows that I was delinquent on this account for over 120 days. I have asked XXXX to dispute with Bank of America multiple times but you ( Bank of America ) insist that I was delinquent on this account. 

I have sent letters to XXXX and Bank of America with the above and I still have n't got a response from Bank of America. I received a response from XXXX stating that the negative information on my account is factual. 
I have called Bank of America and state they ca n't provide me account access to my previous XXXX that I had because the account is no longer open.
