Consumer complaint received 2016-08-14
Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

This is a second complaint to Bank of America regarding the refinancing of my home. This complaint should be linked to Case number : XXXX ; applicable to New Loan # : XXXX ; and Old Loan # : XXXX. 
Bank of America has not provided any resolutions for my first complaint as of today, XXXX/XXXX/2016. However, to make matters worst, I got a letter in the mail this weekend indicating that I have an escrow shortage of {$2400.00} on my home loan and that I must pay this amount. Otherwise, my new monthly payment will change to {$2100.00} due on XXXX/XXXX/2016. My first mortgage payment, which is due this month ( XXXX 2016 ), was set to be {$1800.00}. Why the sudden {$300.00} increase when the agreement had been a different monthly mortgage payment? Was it a miscalculation? What is going on with my home loan? 

I am extremely frustrated. No one at Bank of America wants to be accountable for the mistakes they have made while processing my new loan. Not only did Bank of America not fulfill my original request of refinancing the house to cover the property, the total closing costs, and the set up of a new escrow account, but now I am being asked for additional money for a shortage in my new escrow account. I really do not understand what is going on. At this point I am not sure if I was mislead or misinformed on purpose, or whether Bank of America is just being deliberately careless when processing their loans, or whether this is retaliation for making my first complaint, which has not been addressed yet either. 

Bank of America is now affecting my finances as it did not only make me lose the {$3000.00} from my old escrow account, but now it wants an additional amount of {$2400.00} from me, which may not be much to them, but it is a lot of money for me. If I would have known I was going to run into so many issues, I would have never refinanced with Bank of America. After 20 years of loyalty to Bank of America, I am extremely disappointed. The refinancing of my house has turned into a big nightmare.

I used my card to order a product over the phone in XXXX 2016. In XXXX 2016 when I noticed another charge, I called the company I ordered from XXXX to advise them that I did not receive the product yet. I was told they would track it and have resent to me. That never happened so on XXXX16 I filed a dispute with Netspend to get my money refunded as XXXX was giving me the run around. I was initially told that the claim would be complete within 45 days. Netspend continues to advise me that they are working on the claim but it has been past 45 days and still no resolution. I am also getting the run around from them as well. They refuse to tell me the process or what steps they have taken to get this resolved.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

How am I supposed to make good on a past debt when the collection company uses a tactic such as this.

Also, today someone put a sticker on our front door stating that this property is scheduled for final disposition. I have made several phone calls to our mortgage company to make sure we were in good standing and today is the first time someone offered to add a privacy code on our account so no 3rd party companies can access it. Unfortunately, it will not go in to effect for 30 days. I do not want my kids being approached outside my house! Please help!

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

unauthorized inquiries listed on my TransUnion credit report. I have identified several inquiries that were made without my consent, and I did not provide permissible purpose to any of the banking institutions responsible for these inquiries. I have contacted each institution directly, and none have been able to provide proof or substantiate that I initiated or authorized these inquiries. 

Despite my attempts to resolve this matter with the institutions, they have advised me to dispute the inquiries directly with TransUnion. However, despite my repeated efforts to raise this issue with TransUnion, I have been met with stall tactics and form letters that fail to address my legitimate concerns. TransUnion has consistently stated that they can not honor my request at this time, which is unacceptable. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate credit report and to dispute any information that I believe is incorrect or unauthorized. These unauthorized inquiries are negatively affecting my credit standing, and I demand TransUnion take immediate steps to investigate and remove them. 

I have already submitted many disputes in writing, but TransUnion has failed to substantiate why these inquiries remain on my report, If TransUnion fails to immediately remove the unauthorized inquiries. I will be forced to escalate this matter by filing complaints and considering further legal options to ensure my rights as a consumer are upheld.

She said it was against federal regulations to release the hold. I ask what reg & and was told it was the Electronic Fund Transfer Act of XX/XX/XXXX. My daughter has worked for XXXX XXXX for 18 yrs. so I asked her if this sounded right, she said no, there was an exclusion for customers transferring money between banks " Any transfer of funds for a consumer within a system that is used primarily to transfer funds between financial institutions or businesses, e.g., XXXX or other similar network. '' She said to look on the USAA website for their policy re transfers, so I did. It said the money would be available right away, within a few business days, not a week. I then called XXXX and ask them, they said USAA could lift the hold at any time just show them the completed transfer from my XXXX, but they said it was nonsense as USAA already had this. But I provided it to USAA, XXXX XXXX anyway. She again said there was a federal reg prohibiting lifting the hold. I told her this was simply not true.
