Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AL)

While I was on the phone with a representative of Bank of America, I was attempting to link my credit card to my DDA/Savings online banking profile. The representative, XXXX, requested my social security number, and it was provided. XXXX stated that my social security number only displayed the credit card account. By deductive reasoning, this obviously indicates that my social security number is not contained in Bank of America 's records for my DDA/Savings accounts, which they are required to collect at account opening. They should have this information on file, but have stated that they do not. 

In a separate but additional complaint, I was assessed a {$10.00} overdraft protection transfer fee on XXXX/XXXX/15 but my account did not and would not have had a negative balance had the overdraft protection not been applied. As shown in the provided supporting documentation, with the exclusion of the {$11.00} overdraft protection transfer, my account balances at any point on XXXX/XXXX/15 would have been a positive balance. In addition, making a {$11.00} transfer to cover an overdraft and on the same day assessing a {$10.00} fee, netting " protection '' of just {$1.00} seems quite predatory on consumers, especially considering in this case my account would not have even been overdrawn.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MI)

I have refinanced my mortgage XXXX times with BofA. Each time I was pushed through a process called " The '' Hustle '' program, a " high speed swim lane '' program which eliminated every checkpoint on loan quality and compensated employees based solely on the volume of loans it originated. The " Hustle '' reduced the amount of time spent processing and underwriting conventional loans, thereby boosting loan volume and revenue. XXXX of 2013 the DOJ and BofA went to court over the banks liable for misrepresenting the quality of mortgages sold to XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I would never have qualified for refinance my mortgage if any documentation were required. To obtain my mortgage not XXXX single document was required. Only my credit score. Now I qualify for a reverse mortgage but I am {$8000.00} short. I would like my closing costs reimbursed for all XXXX transactions because if I were not, and should not, have been allowed to refinance, I would be in the position to obtain a reverse mortgage without a problem. BofA will not discuss a settlement for the {$8000.00}. with me and basically totaly ignores me, does not return my phone calls and basically discounts my existence. I need help with this injustice.

Company: Seterus, Inc. (HI)

XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a complaint ( Claim XXXX ) regarding obtaining a Deed in Lieu release from Seterus. At that point, we had been attempting to obtain this release since XX/XX/XXXX. 
Shortly after submitting our complaint to you, we received a letter fromSeterus dated XX/XX/XXXX advising us that our Deed in Lieu hadbeen approved. That letter requested we submit notarized SettlementDocuments to Seterus and their Attorney within 2 weeks. We did that ... 
all documents were submitted and loaded into the Seterus system XX/XX/XXXX. Upon receiving these documents, Seterus wasobligated to send {$6000.00} to XXXX XXXX Bank, the junior lien-holderon the property so they could release their lien to enable Seterus to closeon the property. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX whoadvised me that they still had not received the {$6000.00}. On XXXX XXXX, Icalled Seterus to check on the status of the check. It had not beenmailed yet. I was told that the department who handles this had left forthe day but someone would be contacting me. The person at Seterusalso said they were escalating this matter to the supervisor of the person who was to issue the check. No one contacted me, so today, XXXX XXXX, I called Seterus again. When you call Seterus, you are only allowed tospeak to the customer service rep who answers the phone. They never, never transfer your call to any other person either within or outside thedepartment. Each time it is someone who is completely unfamiliar withyour case, so the average call takes 45-50 minutes while the rep reviewsyour file, " reaches out '' to someone else, etc. The first person myreached out to on that call sent a message back saying based on herreview the file was closed. 

I said that was impossible, because XXXX XXXX is stillwaiting for {$6000.00} to release their lien before Seterus can close. Therep then reached out to someone else who advised that she saw arequest for the check to be issued, but it appears not to have been issuedThe person responsible for doing so was " out on leave. '' The rep wasadvised that the person she was messaging would have someoneinvestigate the matter tomorrow, since the XXXX Officer assigned to my admy account was " out of the office. '' I told my rep I need to knowimmediately when the check will be issued to XXXX XXXX. She said Ishould call Seterus back " next week '' for an update. I reminded her thatthis DIL process had been going on for more than 1 year, and I need acommitment as to when the check would be issued. The rep reachedout to her supervisor who reviewed what had just transpired and told therep to tell me to call back next week. This is symptomatic of theproblems I have encountered with Seterus, and why it has taken overone year to complete this transaction. I am not new to the DIL process : I have done thishave done this before with other properties and banks, and have neverencountered inefficiency and errors of this magnitude.

I have home & auto insurance through USAA and, at one point, had XXXX cars on my policy ; never paid late. So, I decided to give USAA a try and apply for an auto loan on XXXX/XXXX/15 to try and build more business with them. After applying for a loan online, I was told that they required more information ( XXXX paystubs and clarification of income ) from me. I uploaded the documents right away and then called the next day and was told they did n't receive the documents. I then uploaded the documents while on the phone with the rep and was then told I needed to provide 2 years worth of tax returns!! NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN ASKED TO PROVIDE TAX RETURNS FOR AN AUTO LOAN!!! Just to play it out, I uploaded the requested documents and was then told they would have to get back to me ... I was still waiting as of XXXX/XXXX/15 when they notified me that they were unable to approve my request for the following reasons : Insufficient or unverifiable income. 
I provided the requested documentation to the bank to include the following:XXXX subcontractor agreements for both of my sources of incomeA recent bank statement detailing the deposit of said income2 years worth of requested tax returns ( XXXX and XXXX ) I have a good credit rating and make well over $ XXXX between my XXXX jobs.

According to the notice, XXXX was the original creditor. I have lived at my current address since XXXX and this is the first time I have been contacted about this debt. I also have a freeze on my credit since around XXXX and I have no collection on my credit report. I do not owe any debt that I have not paid. This collection agency failed to first write attempting to collect a debt letter. This collection agency failed to grant this consumer the opportunity to dispute the debt. This collection agency demanded payment whether or not this consumer in fact did owe this debt. I dispute owing the debt in question. Thank you.

Company: I.C. System, Inc. (NJ)

I have a medical debt from my new born child from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) when she was born on XXXX XXXX 2015. I was covered under my father 's health coverage but my daughter was not when she arrived. I applied for her health coverage under the affordable care act ( ACA ) under the state of New Jersey on XXXX XXXX of 2015 and received a confirmation number but as of this day I still do n't have medical coverage for my daughter. 
I contacted XXXX XXXX who is my daughter 's primary doctor of the fact and could they put me on a payment plan until coverage begins, they verbally said they could and was also informed that her initial debt from the hospital would get paid when her coverage began. Contrary to what I was told by their office staff, it went to IC System collections. Regarding getting coverage in my state, I received a confirmation number when initially applying and have been following up regularly and had to submit pay statements from my part time employment for the process to go further. Like I said in the aforementioned, my daughter is still not covered medically and I just received a rejection letter regarding my daughters application due to the person processing her application did n't see an address for my place of employment. 
I think this wait for her coverage is way beyond what was envisioned when the XXXX was instituted. I just wanted to bring awareness to other federal and state agencies and know of the dilemma I am encountering and the inefficient processing of my over 6 months old application. I am hoping this complaint, can also inform future care givers of the problems faced with applying for medical coverage within each state and navigating the bureaucratic maze. I am not ruling out seeking the counsel of a lawyer to address the enrollment delay and collection tactics. I question the legality of collection tactics while XXXX applications are still being processed. Thanks for looking into my complaint.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (FL)

I received an invitation to apply with a code to enter from XXXX. This is a progressive and socially responsible company and, in addition to the credit card, it has a cell phone company ; I was a cell phone customer for several years. So when I applied, I fully expected to be immediately approved. In addition to being a former customer, I have a pretty good credit score, have not had a late payment in XXXX or more years. Also, I currently have several cards issued by their bank, XXXX. When I was not only not immediately approved but got the " we 'll let you know in 7-10 days '', I was kind of upset. However, when I did get the letter from them, it stated flatly that I was denied because I had had a bankruptcy in 2008. When I called and emailed XXXX, I got a generic answer. Of course companies are certainly entitled to choose who they want for customers. My concern is that they did not state, not even in the fine print on the offer that people who had bankruptcies need not apply. If that had been the case, as in the instance of XXXX, that asks that question before even accepting an application, of course I would not have bothered. So that 's XXXX thing I think that is unfair to consumers ( and I wo n't even mention the fact that hundreds of banks have had their own financial troubles! ) as is the practice of having different criteria in the same institution. I have XXXX cards issued by XXXX and they have high limits and low balances. So, in addition to the embarrassment of having been denied credit, I have the dreaded hard inquiry on my credit which I have so carefully reconstructed after divorce forced me into bankruptcy years ago. In the interim I have been able to buy a car and a home so this hurts. And it was not stated at the outset that people who have had bankruptcies should n't bother. Can uniform standards among these companies be established? It is bad enough that they change interest rates with impunity.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I received a 30 and 60 day late notice on my credit that was reported by XXXX Bank. I disputed XXXX but was told the credit was validated. I was sent to collections for a balance of {$2.00} from an overdraft protection charge from my reserve line credit account. First of all I paid my reserve line in full XX/XX/XXXX and requested it to be closed. I was then charged a {$5.00} overdraft protection fee XX/XX/XXXX. Based on their Deposit Account Agreement I had the option to authorize an " opt in '' from my reserve line for overdraft protection but never approved or authorized XXXX Bank to draft from my reserve line for my checking account. The {$5.00} fee was taken from my reserve line and applied as an overdraft fee for my checking account. I included all documentation to show the transactions. I never received any calls of the fee nor emailed or mailed statements. XXXX Bank took the fee out of my account without authorization and ended up crediting back my account the balance and late fees XX/XX/XXXX ... two years since I requested it to be closed. XXXX Bank is also unwilling to correct my credit score as they said the XXXX notice ws valid ... they did remove the 60 day notice. XXXX Bank has been unwilling to work with me to get this corrected and I feel they reported incorrect info to the credit agencies even after I pointed out their error. Their intentional deception of credit reporting has damaged my credit history and thus would not allow me to qualify for a home loan. I was also told that XXXX Bank could have provided a coutesy removal of late notices but did not contact them in time ... XXXX Bank is deceptive in the credit practices and has taken steps to harm me since this was reported to the CFPB. I also contacted the president of XXXX Bank but XXXX XXXX was unwilling to protect the customer and is willing to allow his company to conduct deceptive and harmful collection and credit practices.

I have been devoting my entire life for the last two years fighting with OCWEN loan servicing. They are completely and totally inept, send us letters saying they have n't received payment when the check has cleared BEFORE the date of the letter. Their call center is in XXXX, and they just have drones answering the phones reading from scripts. That is how I got into this mess in the first place, by following the instructions I was given from XXXX. That was two years ago, and I am still fighting. It should not be a full time job paying your mortgage and dealing with the mountains of incorrect and useless paperwork one receives from them. However, i refuse to give up.
