Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (MI)

I received a letter from ALLY Financial regarding an auto lease that I am currently in. They are threatening legal action on an account that is not behind in it 's payments. They are trying to collect " late '' fees that have been erroronously charged to my account because I pay my payments bi-monthly. I have spoken to them NUMEROUS times regarding the fees that they are charging me and each time I speak to them they assure me that they are going to reverse the fees, and they still have not. It 's been two years now. I have approximately XXXX payments left on my lease, and they have just sent a letter titled " Notice of Right to Cure Default '' threatening LEGAL action if I do n't pay the random amount of {$1300.00} they have noted on the letter. When I sign on to my on-line account with them this figure is n't listed anywhere, and also shows that my account is CURRENT in payments. This letter alos threatens that if I do not pay this random amount they have on this letter that I wo n't be able to continue my lease with them. Again, My lease will be complete XXXX XXXX. I spoke to an individual this morning by the name of XXXX that told me it 's " nothing personal '' and because of the state I live in they had to send the letter because my account was 60 days late????? Again, my account is NOT 60 days late, never has been and reflects that on my on-line account. This is just another example of predatory lenders that prey on individuals by charging inappropriate fees and lack in Customer Service.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NJ)

I paid a credit card every month and have an automatic payment on it. I talked to the bank and explained it was their mistake since I set up auto payment. They marked me late and charged me fees and did not even offer to reverse or anything. I have had perfect credit for over a decade. The website did not work with the password until after when I was notified of the occurence. Bank of america ruined my credit where now I can not rent, or borrow funds and made my other cards lower my credit limit. I would love for you to investigate and shut down these unethical practices which I believe is their way to make more money in fees and charge more interest and hurting the consumer. If they look at my record, I always made a payment to them.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MA)

Last fall I began working with CitiMortgage to modify my existing mortgage so that I could re-occupy my home. I surrendered the property to them XX/XX/XXXX when I moved to Arizona and knew I could not afford to keep the home at its current monthly payment of $ XXXX/mth. I had tried to sell the home before moving but did not have an offer. When I moved back to Massachusetts XX/XX/XXXX I rented an apartment that I could afford at $ XXXX/mth, and began trying to work with CitiMortgage again, since the home remained vacant. I sent a letter of hardship explaining that a divorce, my job as a XXXX, being a single mother, and an eventual bankruptcy caused financial hardship but that I wanted to keep the home if possible. After many months of providing paperwork, CitiMortgage offered me a modification that was higher than I had previously been paying, at $ XXXX/mth. They said the amount was more due to a lack of escrow, interest and owed payments. I told them I could n't accept the offer, since it was actually more than I had been paying before and this did not help my financial hardship in any way. I am still interested in keeping this home and it remains unoccupied.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

I am current customer of Bank of America ( BOA ) for ten years. During a branch visit on Friday, XXXX XXXX, 2016 to have a debit card re-issued, a BOA Branch representative offered me BOA Cash Rewards credit card based upon the fact that I maintain over well over one thousand dollars daily balance with those merits I told I would receive a BOA Cash Rewards credit card. I signed some general documents and other products and spent about 1.5 hours of my time with the representative. The Branch manager came in on the end to congratulate me on accepting the offer. I was also encouraged to complete the survey that may be emailed within a few days. I let her know that the experience was great, unlike many of my experiences with BOA and that I would definitely give good marks on the survey ; which I did on XXXX XXXX. It is now XXXX XXXX, 2016 and I have not received any responses from my follow up emails. I called BOA corporate to file a complaint on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and was promised a 48 call-back ; it has now been 168 plus hours from my call with no call from corporate ( I gave them both of my cell phone numbers ). I have all of the credit card disclosures and signature page that I accepted the offer. I also have all my follow up emails with no response from the branch. Even after going in the branch to two weeks after to talk to her, she advised me this as happened before, but she promised the card will come. I feel manipulated and mislead by BOA, as they will essentially make up things to con consumers into receiving high survey marks by wasting my time. Bank of America owes the card to me as promised.

A letter will go out within 14 days. '' Within two weeks I received a credit card in the mail and a notice that a new account had been opened. BofA subsequently contacted me for feedback on their service. My responses were of the worst grade possible in the survey 's scale of answers. I have never heard again from BofA. 
It would be bad if BofA submitted anything pertaining to this matter to a credit bureau.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't temporarily postpone payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (NJ)

I am behind on my private student loans from Sallie Mae, and I believe they are not working in good faith with me to ensure I can pay back the loans. In order to obtain forbearance, I must have my cosigner report every single asset to them, with the possibility that this will actually increase the monthly payments that I already can not afford. Secondly, if I am approved for forbearance, I must pay a {$50.00} fee per loan per month of forbearance that is not in any way applied to my loans or interest accumulated during that forbearance. This is not only unfair and counter-intuitive to the process of forbearance, I believe this is an extortionate practice aimed at discouraging me from using this process and simply accruing late fees and negative marks on my credit. 
There must be something that can be done other than have money I already do not have thrown away on a fee that does nothing to help me save money and maintain my obligation to this loan

I wrote to your company earlier re case # XXXX. My USAA Mastercard was compromised from XX/XX/2016 thru XX/XX/2016 for over {$9000.00}. It took countless phone calls from me, a letter from your company, and much additional paperwork to finally get this partially resolved XX/XX/2016. There are still XXXX additional charges I did not make on XXXX XXXX, 2016 for {$350.00} each. I have called their fraud / identity theft departments 4 times, spoke at length to agents, and I still have the charges totaling {$700.00}! I have received XXXX different USAA credit cards all with different numbers, have NOT activated any of them, so how can I have charges? The last agent I spoke with, XXXX, on XX/XX/2016 did some research and learned these charges were made in XXXX! I, of course, was not in XXXX and did not authorize these charges for {$700.00}. I asked her why any of the other XXXX agents did not tell me that information. She said they just did n't bother to look! I am perplexed as to why USAA, a company I have been with for many years, and touts itself as a support to military personnel and their families, is having such a difficult time resolving this fraud issue!! My XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX card were both compromised XX/XX/2016, the fraud was dealt with, the accounts are being monitored, and all is well. What is the problem with USAA?

I have been diligently trying to close out and reopen an account that has been compromised several times first by Debit Card now by ACH. I opened an ACH claim sometime ago and the fraud issue was resolved. I was told the account was to be closed but that never happened. After trying to open a new account I was told that because of the excessive overdraft ( which was caused by fraud ) I was not able to open a new account but I could keep the compromised account open. Since then my account has yet again been compromised. I spoke with someone in the CEOs office today whom was supposed to handle the issue however she continued to push blame and offered no resolution.

Company: AmeriCollect (WI)

I had a XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to my XXXX I met the family deductible and paid my outstanding deductible in full to XXXX Hospital. Approximately 3-4 months after my XXXX I received a letter from Americollect stating my account with XXXX was past due and they were trying to collect. I explained that this was a surprise since I never received a statement from XXXX since I had my XXXX. Nor did they call us to try and reach out. We were n't expecting any statements from XXXX since I was paid in full for the year. The hospital apparently misapplied a payment that we made in XX/XX/XXXX to my wife 's account instead of mine. She was already paid in full with deductible met so it created a very large credit. They never called to tell her this and it never showed up on her statements. It was n't until XX/XX/XXXX that we discovered this credit. XXXX has been taking from that credit and applying to each bill of hers for XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX never sent us statements because there were no payments due. She should be paying on her account as normal meanwhile my account is sent to collections because of their misapplication of funds. XXXX and Americollect will not help us get this resolved. I immediately filed a dispute letter XX/XX/XXXX when I was first notified by registered mail. My letter quoted the law stating they were no longer allowed to collect this debt from me since it was paid. They ignored the letter and continued calling. The last call they indicated that they would work with XXXX to get this straightened out. It was about 4-6 weeks later and I received a notice that my credit report now has collection on it which ruins my credit score. They gave us no notice this was done. They broke the law by disregarding the instructions in the dispute letter and need to be held accountable. They did n't give us proper information to even try and validate the debt.

Barclay bank cancelled all my accounts w/ no reasoning. Now they have messed up my credit report. Now I am unable to get approved for other credit cards because on my credit report, I have entries that state " cancelled by grantor. '' This is not right because I did nothing wrong with them.
