Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CO)

Bank of America and its agents willfully and repeatedly made phone calls and left messages in violation of Regulation F. In XX/XX/2022, I received voice mail messages that included : - My full name - That this is an important business matter - That a representative had options to benefit me - Statements that Bank of America had tried to contact me previously The above content is outside of the definition of a limited content message ; as such, Bank of America should have applied a cooling off period between collection attempts but did not do so. Each attempt was within much less than seven days from the prior. These voice messages have been saved and can be provided to regulatory agencies as warranted. 

These are the attempts I know about because Bank of America either used the same XXXX or left a message ; however, it is possible that additional attempts were made. 

Bank of America and its agents also placed collection calls to me after I accepted and made timely payments toward its own payment program. When I returned its call on XX/XX/2022, its agent could not tell me why the call was made and later suggested that they wanted to schedule a payment. 

Bank of America continues to engage in unfair and unclear practices that are not in the interests of consumers. I placed a call to Bank of America on XX/XX/2022 to inquire about bringing my account current via reage after having made three consecutive payments as agreed. Bank of Americas agent explained that it can not commit to a timeframe for reage and that a review would happen up to eight months later. The representative advised that there was not a way to request a sooner review.

I demand these inquiries be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me.

I am a XXXX and I called National Credit Systems XXXX Inc. with a client multiple times and have repeatedly been treated poorly, but my phone call today was by far the worst I have ever experienced. I made an offer on behalf of my client and was told that the balance was at XXXX in spite of the fact that she received a XXXX off letter that was not honored due to a time limit issue. In my client 's defense, she did not receive the letter on time before the time expired. The collection agency added a {$1400.00} collection agency fee and I simple asked the supervisor if she was aware that they were in violation of FDCPA for the collection agency fee. And she told me that I was being hostile and using strong arm negotiation tactics and said she had no desire to talk to me further and hung up on me. I called back and spoke to the original representative, XXXX XXXX, who proceeded to directly transfer me back to XXXX XXXX, the supervisor. I did not ask her to transfer me. At this point, my client just needed to pay the bill and be done with this account. I called back again and XXXX XXXX directly transferred me again without even speaking to me. I 've never felt so disrespected on a phone call in my life. I asked my client if she thought I was being hostile and she said no. Every time we have called this collection, they have been nothing but rude.
