On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I initially reported that I did not make a purchase on a XXXX ' card with account number ending XXXX. I told them that I had paid my account in full I was told that I had to complete and submit a Statement of Fraud which they had to USPS mail to me as they do n't have it electronically. They told me once they received that the account would be flagged for fraud and I would not longer receive phone calls ( I was receiving phone calls several times a day asking for payment ). I waited a week and called back again and told them I had not received the Statement of Fraud. She said she would mail it again. I waited another week and finally received it. At that time, I completed the Statement of Fraud and mailed it that same day. I have called several times to check on the status of this and each time they tell me a fraud investigation has been opened. I called again on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and spoke with XXXX and he said it had been resolved and it would be escalated so we can get it off of my credit report as soon as possible. He told me I should receive a letter from XXXX ' in 7-10 business days. I asked if he could email it and he said no, they only used USPS. He then said it would take 30 days for the credit bureaus to update my credit report. I also just received a bill for the aforementioned account number and the balance is now almost {$200.00} ( I believe the original amount was {$57.00} ). I also received a letter from XXXX ' saying effective immediately my credit balance has been lowered to from {$600.00} to {$200.00}.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Bank of America - Acct XXXXXXXXPrevious Complaint # s XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXXOriginal HAMP loan paperwork was sent to me that included the name of the original co-signer on the loan. The original co-signer holds no interest in the property, it has been quick claim deeded to me 100 % and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX office shows only my name on the deed. The loan re-modification did not take into consideration the co-signer as to income and only my information was utilized. Final contract papers were sent to me in my name solely. However, recent mailings with regard to current operational aspects of the loan continue to contain the previous co-signer 's name. In a verbal conversation with XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015 at XXXX, I was told that : 1. Despite my sole signature on the current loan documents where I accept 100 % responsibility, the original co-signer would still be on the loan ; 2. XXXX XXXX in effect admitted to me that Bank of America had no intention of ever removing the second borrower from the loan, I told him what prior verbal agreements had been made and he assured me that I was incorrect and past information had been misrepresented to me as he had the correct answer and that despite what I signed he would only be removed if I refinanced the loan. This, therefore tells me that the paperwork I have been requested to sign is a willful misrepresentation of fact designed to get my signature and finalize a fraudulent modification. In prior conversations with past customer relationship manager XXXX XXXX a representation was made to me that upon completion of the final loan documents ( that hold my signature alone ) the original co-signer would no longer be on the loan. A verbal agreement was made on more than XXXX occasion and now I am being told something completely different. Bank of America has willfully misrepresented their position to me in an effort to obtain my signature under the guise of the loan modification, tendering only my name and not that of the original co-signer as agreed to by XXXX XXXX.

For the last seven years I was in foster care. Last summer at XXXX years old I signed myself out and was forced to stay with my estranged father and stepmother. This was out of financial necessity. I was told that we were going to XXXX store for a family plan. I assumed that it would be in either my father or my stepmothers name. When signing the contract for XXXX I was told that it was for just my phone. Instead I was signing a contract for XXXX smart phones. I did not realize this until about a month later when I got the bill. Any attempts that I made to rectify the situation failed. The other people in the contract refused to help pay the debt and let their phones default. I was nave and had no idea how to fix the situation. I did not want to ruin my credit so I called XXXX and made payment arrangements for a bill over {$2000.00}. I recently lost my job and was unable to make a payment and XXXX sent my account into collections. XXXX refused to negotiate and I do not feel that is my responsibility to pay the full debt. I feel that XXXX was negligent in that the XXXX representative at the store did not explain to me what I was signing and did not contradict what my father had told me. I feel that I was taking advantage of.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (VA)

I found out that a loan I had was with a lender that is void in my state, and that the loan that I had with them was considered void in my state. I notified the lender, XXXX, that the installment loan online I had with them was void in my state, meaning that it should never have been offered to a resident of my state. I also made a letter out to my bank, Wells Fargo, notifying them that the lender was not authorized to debit from my account, and that I wanted them to return monies sent to the originating institution ( lender 's bank ) and to give the ACH transcript for that originating bank. 
I called the bank to see how to and where top submit my letter on XXXX XXXX. I was told that I had to file a claim over the phone with the bank, which I did, and I asked if they could attach my letter and other documentation to the claim filed so that my request was also in writing. I faxed the letter to the claims department as I was told to do. 
When I called to called to check on the status of my claim, XXXX XXXX, I also asked to be sure that they had received my documents and letter that was supposed to accompany the claim. The woman I talked to said that she did n't think the investigator has actually looked at or read the letter or other documents, so she said she would send it again with a note, and that I should call back the next day, XXXX XXXX. 
When I called back on XXXX XXXX, I spoke to a different person, who said that they denied my claim. The banker from the claims department stated that they could not reimburse me because I had signed a contract ( even thought the contract with XXXX is null and void ) and that they had nothing to do with the matter. To get my funds back, I would have to contact the lending company directly. She said that Wells Fargo had rules they had to abide by, and that they had even if the company was working illegally, that they ( Wells Fargo ) would have nothing to do with it. I also never received the ACH transcript that was requested, so that I could request the funds from the originating institution that facilitated a void loan.

I have been a customer with Bank of America for many years. Mostly, I am happy with their service. However, on the date of XX/XX/XXXX, I was given XXXX overdraft fees totally XXXX dollars. Now, I plan my funds out to a tee with each direct deposit. I found it odd, and upsetting that the order my transactions were processed, is what caused me these overdraft fees. When I called the XXXX number, I was tossed around from rep to rep. I was even once disconnected, and not called back. I then made an appointment, and entered a branch, where I was treated with disrespect. These persons explained I could not have either fee reversed, because I had one earlier in the month ( 3rd party error ). My complaint is this : how are you, as my financial institution, allowed to pick and choose? Why when I asked how many a person was allows annually, I was given several different answers? Please do not pick and choose your fees based on how a customer is paid. I am given XXXX separate direct deposits every two weeks.
