Company: Castle Credit Co Holdings, LLC, Chicago, IL Branch
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was discharged in bankruptcy

Complaint:
I filed Ch XXXX bankruptcy and was discharged with no distributions in XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX had a XXXX lien for a water softener and was included in the bankruptcy. Castle Credit was listed and notified but the continued with their automatic payments. We did not want the water softener and attempted to surrender it. In late XXXX XXXX from Castle Credit told me that I could not surrender it. They stated they were a loan company with a lien against my house and they had to be paid or I would lose my home. They refused to just take back their collateral. I was very ignorant since I filed my bankruptcy pro per and I did n't know there was a lien so I did n't do anything or investigate it. I believed they were right. They represented that like the house payment if I wanted to keep my house I had to pay off their bill. I have since learned it is not true and I do not want the water softener but they refuse to pick up the collateral and remove the lien against my house even though they were discharged in my bankruptcy. They were calling me 3 or 4 times a day at work and harassing me. I do not want the water softener. They should come pick up the collateral of the debt I discharged in Bankruptcy. They claim that I am trying to sell my house so they are refusing to cooperate and are purposely interfering with my escrow where I am trying to refinance but this lien is causing me problems. They are trying to get paid by not complying with the law. 
I sent them a letter telling them to stop calling me as I had to work but even today they keep blowing up my phone threatening me. They keep telling me they wo n't do anything because I am selling my house. I am not.

Complaint:
I just paid off a credit card from Bank of America on XXXX XXXX, it was due XXXX XXXX was surprised to receive an e-mail from them today telling me I owed them {$64.00} in interest. I am not upset, I just think that the credit card companies should emphasize on their statements that in order to payoff a credit card completely the consumer needs to call the company and get the calculated amount necessary to payoff the account. I do n't understand why the statement closing date and the payment due date are almost a month apart. It 's almost as if they want you on the hook forever.

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX Dear CFPB, XX/XX/XXXX, I took a few loans out to cover the cost of my 1st two years of college. The loans were ( XXXX ) Direct Loan - Subsidized, Direct Loan - Unsubsidized, and a Stafford - Unsubsidized. We were told these were all a fixed interest rate. However, it seems that they have increased throughout the years. We originally took out {$13000.00} ; this will exceed well over {$18000.00} by my paid-ff completion date. Next, I had another issue XX/XX/XXXX with Navient regarding a deferment. I took 1 semester off of college, which is perfectly fine to do as long as it does n't exceed that time. During this grace period, I received letters from Navient ( XXXX XXXX ) saying that I have to start paying back my loans. I called and told them that I am just taking a semester off and that I will be returning the following semester ( Which i did ). I was assured that everything would be taken care of, to disregard the incoming bills, and that this would not effect my credit in anyway. In the end, nothing was handled, and it was turned into my credit as a default. This hurt my credit tremendously and I 've been battling to get it up ever since. Naivent did not provide the correct information to my credit reporting company therefore my credit suffered, ultimately costing me thousands of dollars throughout the years. I believe I will be getting a lawyer to help with this issue and help retro pay me for any inconvenience I 've had to experience throughout the years I 've had to deal with Navient. 

Thanks XXXX

Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
Bank of America ( BoA ) continues to refuse to accept my payments. On two separate occasions they have refused to accept online bill pay checks drawn from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX reports that the checks were reportedly returned because BoA was unable to determine the account number. This assertion is false on its face. Each check contained my full name and and either the full account number or a redacted version. See the attachment to this message, a threatening letter from BoA, that includes a payment coupon which only references my name and a portion of the account number. As you can see, its explanation lack substance. Upon information and belief, BoA is refusing to accept my payments in order to assess unlawful late penalties. In a third payment attempt, on XX/XX/2017, I paid the balance in full at the site XXXX. It is unclear if BoA will process this payment. If so, this should conclude that matter. All late payments must be refunded and my balance XXXX. Any and all derogatory information reported to credit agencies must be recalled and corrected. Thank you. 
Very truly yours, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint to CFPB about the overdraft fees that had been applied to my account. The fees were excessive and I was very dissatisfied with the fact that I was often getting charged {$35.00} for payment of small items or where the overdraft was less than {$35.00}. I am again recording a complaint about the practice for XX/XX/XXXX. During the year, I was charged overdrafts for either ( i ) processing items that were in an amount far less than {$35.00}, ( ii ) where the associated overdraft was less than {$35.00}. In there was one instance where I was charged for an overdraft of {$17.00} or ( iii ) charged multiple times where the processing sequence of items was completed such that the largest item was processed first and then each smaller item would generate a fee. I would like to get Bank of America to improve its policies to help more and so I am requesting that my account be reviewed.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
I had traveled to XXXX from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made online payment of XXXX on account balance of XXXX and requested a statement sent to me by email so I can check balance. My account was blocked disallowing me online access after the request, I could n't access online account or reach BoA by the either the toll free numbers from XXXX. 

Late payment was due to my inability to go online to pay on the account. BoA blocked the account access because they thought it was online fraud since I was using foreign network XXXX XXXX to access my account. I had tried to resolve this issue since my return with BoA, unfortunately the representative I spoke with did n't want to hear the effort I had taken to pay on the account balance. I have since paid XXXX original balance ; and have written to BoA to either waived or reduce the late and finance charges of XXXX. I also visited a local BoA office to see if they can help ; unfortunately I was told to deal with their collection agency. 

As of this writing no response from BoA on my petition. I have been a loyal customer since XX/XX/XXXX, I have paid on my account on time, this situation was very unfortunate, and was out of my control. This had affected my credit score created derogatory and negative information on my outstanding credit with all XXXX credit rating agencies. 

I would like your good office to assist me in resolving this issue with BoA to restore my credit score, because it was my very intent to pay on my account during my long absence that was the very reason why I requested for statement be sent by email since I know I will not be around the view my mailed statement. I have never informed any my credit card companies when I travel to foreign countries before. So I did n't know if I had to inform BoA of my trip to XXXX for that matter.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
BBVA Compass sent another statement that {$150.00} is due on account ending in XXXX. This matter was previously reported to CFPB and BBVA Compass sent word they were removing XXXX XXXX 's name from the card. XXXX 's name was removed, XXXX 's name is the only one listed, but it does not appear BBVA Compass has closed the account. We ask for your help to ensure the account is closed as previously requested over the years since XXXX 's passing. 

The credit card company was contacted to let them know XXXX XXXX passed away in XX/XX/XXXX.  XXXX did not own or have assets at his death in XX/XX/XXXX. The credit card company continued to send bills for XXXX 's card to XXXX XXXX, wife. The card was solely owned by XXXX XXXX, the card did not belong to XXXX XXXX. XXXX made payments based on the fact notices were sent demanding payment. XXXX has not been able to hear over the phone since she was in her early XXXX. She has used hearing aides since she was in her late XXXX. XXXX is now XXXX years old. XXXX had her daughter, power of attorney, contact the Compass Bank, holder of the credit card in XX/XX/XXXX to ask again that the card be cancelled, removed from XXXX 's name, and to terminate requests for payment as the card was not XXXX 's, but her husband 's XXXX. Rather than terminating as requested, BBVA Compass added XXXX 's name to the account without permission and then began unauthorized collection from XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX 's credit card. 

Since XXXX 's passing, XXXX has made payments to BBVA Compass in excess of {$12000.00} on an original balance of {$9000.00} owed by her husband XXXX, but not owed by XXXX ( {$86.00} per month minimum payment ). 

We ask CFPB to please help close the account so no further requests are received for payment from either XXXX XXXX ( XXXX years old ) or XXXX XXXX ( deceased XX/XX/XXXX ). 

We understand often credit card companies come after family members to make payments in this manner after a person has died. 

With penalties, interests, and fees that continue to be applied over the 12 years since XXXX XXXX passed, the noted remaining balance is {$3900.00} with request for payment by XX/XX/XXXX. However, the original balance due has long since been paid by XXXX XXXX on behalf of her deceased husband XXXX. 

Please help us to understand if there is anything else needed to terminate the account, the card, and requests for payments.
