I have been with BOA for 21 years, during that time I had a checking acct linked to a line of credit. A week ago the bank discount the line with informing me, I found out when my wife went to the store and her card was reject for lack of funds. She informed me I went to the bank, they said my line was disconnected and they ca n't reconnected it back. I asked why they '' we do not offer that service anymore, although we disconnected it and it a bank error, we ca n't fix it! '' I have spoken to various people in the bank, no one will help me!!!! 
I asked the if they did away with all acct like this, they said no if you have it you are grandfather in. I said if I had this service for 21 years and the bank disconnected it out tell me why ca n't reconnect the line, it is still open. the response I got was unbelievable " we will not do it and that it! '' How do I get this resolved??? I want my line hooked back up to my checking acct. I call the executive branch of bank of America, they said they will not do it Thx XXXX XXXX

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (WI)

Soon after I filed for Bankruptcy, I was denied full access to the USAA website with the words " According to our records you filed bankruptcy and we can not collect certain debts. To obtain access to your existing accounts you may log on by clicking proceed below. '' Printed in red every time I attempt to log in. 
I am then redirected to a stripped down version of the website, basically a mobile site, with my full account information including full account numbers visible to the public when I check on my existing accounts. 
They claim, they do this to limit the possible chance of USAA accidentally extending further credit to those who filed bankruptcy. I call that a lack of professionalism and they make their members pay for USAA 's inability to perform a minor task as USAA can accurately access any current or future member 's credit worthiness via the credit reports, as that is what they are used for ; they do not need to limit access and further humiliate their membership in such a way and continued practice will result in Discrimination charges against USAA. As they seem to be punishing anyone for falling on financial hardship and not being able to pay their debts.

I am hoping you can help me resolve what I feel is unfair reporting and unclear communication with a prior lender about an old account in default. 
This is in regards to my auto loan previously with XXXX finance which is now Ally Financial. I did voluntarily repo the car however they are currently not showing accurate pay history on my credit report and have not communicated when this will be removed due to the 7 year rule. From my understanding of the fair credit reporting act a creditor is supposed to remove and no longer report a negative item 7 years from the XXXX late payment or negative information is shown. 
The account number for this account is XXXXMy name is XXXX XXXXMy Social is XXXX. 

I have disputed with both the credit buros and sent a letter to XXXX. I received a form letter response but they did not answer my question regarding my pay history and when they would cease reporting this negative information on my credit report. 

I would like this removed as soon as possible and if they feel this is not yet supposed to be removed legally I am at least owed a very clear explanation of when it is scheduled to be removed. 

Ally 's address isAlly FinancialXXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX have not found a working phone number to discuss this with their credit reporting department.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA (KS)

I have reached out to AES on more than one occasion. At the start of my college career in 2004 at XXXX years old, I was unaware of the ability to apply for a loan through my universities financial aid department and what a federal or private loan was. I had several loans which regardless of circumstance would need to start repayment within 4 years or shortly after, even if still a full-time student. I had been paying on these loans with few issues for quite some time. My husband had health issues and was out of work for over half a year at the time I first contacted AES. I tried to put the loans on forbearance, and was only offered a temporary slightly lower payment amount on some of the loans managed by them. This had to be done with a payment of good faith during my conversation by phone. Financial circumstances got worse, but paid when I could. Due to all household payments hitting my own account as my husband was out of work, a couple of my monthly payments after that did n't clear. This past fall I tried to review amounts and set up a payment online when I realized I no longer had account access. I called AES to discuss the situation, and was informed by a lady that it was due to an issue with a couple payments I had made. I expressed my concern with her that my online access has always been the method used for my payments particularly since several different private student loans are listed on that single online account. She reassured me that since this was the first time this had happened, that I would be able to write and/or email the company to regain my online access. I faxed a letter to AES and received nothing in return based on the information she gave me by phone, and I also emailed more recently about the situation and got an email back stating that my online access was terminated due to my issues with payments. Due to this situation, this has caused one or more loans to go into default because due to the various loans under the same AES account with various due dates, I have been overwhelmed with various AES bills which I am unaware of which is which and what standing they are in and what needs to be taken care of first. Some loans I have tried to discuss with AES, I have been told that they collect payments on but I need to actually speak with XXXX or whomever they originated from. All I want to do is regain my account access for ease of payment and understanding of my various loans under my single servicer and/or find out which loans and what my options are to get out of default on the loans that this happened to. Please help me work this out. I am not asking for any kind of loan forgiveness, just asking for the ability to understand and pay back with ease all of my loans through AES.
