Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (IL)

On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I logged into my Bank of America checking account ( of over 10 years ) to see a pending debit of $ XXXX. I have never bounced a check, missed a payment, overdraft, so I called and contacted the Customer Service Department upon which I was n't given any information but that a fraud investigator will be assigned within 24hours and will contact me. Since that day I have not received any call or mail whatsoever from BoA however I do call BoA just about everyday but still all I get is the runaround from different their various departments that I am transferred to. Finally on the XXXX XXXX after yet another call to BoA Fraud Department, I was told my account was being closed and a check with my account funds was being mailed out the next day and that BoA has a right to close my account without given a reason per the depositors agreement when account was opened. 
While I understand this agreement, I do n't understand why as of today XXXX XXXX ( another 2weeks ), a check has still not be mailed to me. I keep calling BoA Risk Account Department as advised as well as their Executive Customer Relations Department and they claim they are looking into it but still I have n't received any check yet nor any correspondence yet. The XXXX tracking number ( XXXX ) they had initially provided upon tracking shows that the check was never even given to XXXX in the first place even though a label was created! 
I really need my funds from my BoA account urgently, as I need to but medications for my mother who is recovering from a XXXX and also need to pay for her XXXX. I also need my funds to pay my bills due as well as for some other financial obligations. 
Its been more the 3 weeks since BoA held my account without reason or any communications to me. The investigator assigned who I later got to know her name and number as never called me nor return any of my calls. I even went to her office on the XXXX of XXXX and she would n't see me but was told to go to a banking center which again I did at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL but was again not given any information but that they I should wait for check correspondence from them. But still I have n't received any check. 
I believe its unfair and inconsiderate practices to close a customer 's account at the bank 's discretion yet hold on to the customer total funds for more that 3 weeks without return it nor providing any information. This as caused hardship for me and my family. and really saddens me.

This is a collection agency that I have never entered into any type of contract with. The original account was opened by someone else and the original creditor has been contacted. I have zero business relationship with this company. I have also contacted them on two accounts asking for a validation of signature to prove my contractual relationship with them. They have reported this inaccurate information to all XXXX credit bureaus and it has impacted me financially. I want to save court as the last resort, however, I will take that route because this error on my credit file is costing me a lot more money due to increased interest rates and such.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA)

I am filing this complaint against Bank of America due to fraud. I obtained a Line of Credit against a property in XXXX 2008 in the amount of {$100000.00}. At closing, I was given XXXX disbursements payable to XXXX XXXX for {$10.00}, XXXX and {$8500.00} for a total of {$19.00}, XXXX. The CreditLine Balance on XXXX XXXX, 2008 was {$25000.00} plus closing fees of {$10.00} for a Total CreditLine Payoff amount for {$25000.00}. I have been making payments of almost {$300.00} a month since. I received a letter last month stating that my payments would be going up to an estimated {$840.00} a month for 180 months. I spoke with a friend of mine and told him that I only owed {$20000.00} on my line of credit and that I should have paid it off by now. He asked me to fax him my closing documents and called me back saying that I was paying on a {$100000.00} and not {$20000.00}. He told me to go immediately to a local Bank of America Branch which I did. The woman at the bank said that she saw where I received {$19000.00}. I said that I did receive that but where was my other {$74000.00}. She said she did n't see any other disbursements listed. She then took me to another office where she called the fraud office for B of A. The lady on the phone told me that a forced advance transfer was conducted at a Bank of America the same day of my closing. It was for {$74000.00}, check # XXXX at Bank of America Plaza XXXX # XXXX. She gave XXXX fraud hotline numbers to call and file a complaint. I called and let them know what I found out which was XXXX XXXX and that money had been stolen from me years ago without my knowing it. I was just paying on it monthly without realizing. I received a letter via email 2 days later on XXXX XXXX saying that they conducted a thorough investigation of my claim and that Regulation Z provides a 60-day reporting period and that I waited too long. I did n't know but how can they just dismiss the fact that someone from the bank stole my money and that discrepancies in the paperwork was not caught by the auditing department or was not reported to the federal government. I know that many laws have been broken and because I have been paying monthly, makes this ongoing fraud. All I asked for was to find the money. I would like copies of documents used in the fraud/copies of all documents relating to my missing money, individuals involved, etc. from Bank of America. I am a customer so how can they just dismiss me when there is {$74000.00} missing. Please send this on so that I can get some help. 

Thanks.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Once I refinanced my mortgage in 2013, Wells Fargo opened a checking account for me. I have no active recollection of agreeing to that, but I assume the paperwork was among the massive volume of papers to sign with the mortgage. The account was never used and dormant until two months ago when XXXX XXXX started to charge me a $ XXXX monthly fee for this account. 
I called to have the account closed but was told the account was " inactive '' and they need to activate it and then I need to call back to close it. In fact, they charged me fees for an " inactive '' account. 
Since then I have attempted three times on the phone and multiple times via Wells Fargo 's online platform to close the account with no success. I have been told again the account is inactive and ca n't be close or was put on hold to speak with " premier bankers '' etc. 
I 'm utterly frustrated that I can not close an inactive account that has never been used. I do n't know how I can accomplish this. They advise I could send a notarized letter via regular mail. Should it be that difficult in this country to close an account without a balance? They can slip in a sheet of paper to get it opened, I can open an account online in a minute, but closing an account is made awfully difficult. 
Please help!

I would like to know if they have accepted our offer within a timely manner. I have to know if they will work with us or I will need to file chapter XXXX. All I want to know is id they accepted our offer or are they going to counter our offer. I have learned that this company is extremely difficult to work with. I have read hundreds of complaints regarding this issue with Consumer affairs. I am asking for a solution in a reasonable time.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (TN)

I have tried to file a waste/fraud/abuse complaint with the Department of Education Inspector General and was referred here ( email attached ). 

I have been working with the Ombudsman 's Office since XXXX 2015 ( Case # XXXX ) to try and resolve issues with my account serviced by Navient. This has resulted in Navient making numerous changes to my account that typically cause further problems that need to be addressed. These " mistakes '' and " errors '' on their part always seem to result in paying more money towards my loan in the long term or sending in additional payments just to get Navient to look at my complaint. 

Navient has issued documents regarding these changes and they have sent copies of these documents in a timely manner to the Ombudsman 's Office. They have told my case worker that they are also sending me these documents, but I do n't think they 're actually being sent ; they 've supposedly been sent several times through email and traditional paper mail, but never arrive. I have verified my contact info with Navient, so I know they have my correct email and physical address. 

I am concerned because this latest " mistake '' on their part involved over {$4000.00} of interest being shown on my account that does n't belong there. I believe they are deliberately withholding documentation of changes being made to my account because it shows egregious and possibly fraudulent activity on their part. 

I am tired of being shuffled from agency to agency, with everyone who accepts a complaint either telling me it 's not in their jurisdictional authority or that they simply can not help. I have begun writing the offices of my elected officials to inform them of my being shuffled around by different agencies and of the abusive behavior received on the part of Navient, a federal contractor.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I signed up for a free checking program with Bank of America. At the time I set up my account, the checking program was completely free and the only requirement was to set up an automatic transfer into savings of at least {$25.00} XXXX time per month. In XXXX of 2012, when I attempted to log-in to my online account a page was presented by BofA asking me to verify my personal information such as name, address, DOB, SSN, Driver 's License #, etc. I was uncomfortable providing the information, so I called the customer service phone number on the back of my ATM card. The agent I spoke with at BofA told me to go ahead and complete the information. She explained to me that from time-to-time they require updates to account information. So I did. A few days later, I was contacted by B of A because they were aware my account was compromised - a potential fraud event is what they said. They said I needed to close down my accounts and set up new accounts, new checks, new ATM card, etc. So I did this. At that time, I was told by B of A that they no longer had a free checking program available and I would be required to pay for my service. I spoke with someone who was an Executive Assistant to some VP at the company and she said she would waive the fee 's to ensure I was able to still keep my free checking program. Now, years later, I got billed in XXXX for account fees of {$12.00}. I called B of A and explained what had happened and the agent I was speaking with could not assist so I asked to have a message sent to someone to escalate my complaint. I got a phone call today from someone who told me they could waive my fee for 2 months, but then I would be required to pay the fees monthly. At this time, I am suspicious of the 'fraud ' event that B of A knew about. I 'm not sure how they would know I had put all the information in my computer if they had not set this up themselves to generate a false fraud event so they could close out my free checking account and put me into a paid account. But even if the breach of my data is legitimate, I signed up for a free checking program and due to the incorrect information I was provided by the B of A phone agent, I was put in a position that caused me to lose my free checking program and I do not believe this is fair to me, the consumer. I should be grandfathered in ( indefinitely ) to the free checking program I originally enrolled in which had no restrictions and no expiration date.
