Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Settlement process and costs — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Bank of America froze my loan. They, the home equity line of credit division, told me that my house had lost equity. Therefor they had to freeze my loan. I got comps showing that my house had increased in equity. Then they said that my credit report was not good. I got copies. They admitted to me and to XXXX, loan officer at Bank of America, XXXX XXXX, California, that my credit was good. And it is. Then I received a notice saying that I had material changes in my financial circumstances and they would have to freeze the loan. This, freezing my loan, took place in XXXX, XXXX and has continued since. 
I asked to see a signed copy of my contract. They do not have one. They have stalled on this now for nine months. I had insurance should I not be able to pay my loan. They said I had cancelled it. I asked for a signed copy of such a cancellation. They do n't have one of course. 
They have also claimed that they had to freeze my loan because of liens. Those liens were on my home since XXXX, well before I established the line of credit. 
I have continued making payments, have asked for proof. Every conversation I have with them tells me that they intend to take my house and they will listen to nothing. Here 's the thing : The comps say that my house is valued at {$230.00}, I currently owe only {$22000.00}. My realtor, as I have my house up for sale, represents bank of America with foreclosures in my area. She claims she has seen B of A do this same scam with others. 
So ... I had arranged to leave the last {$3000.00} untouched and use for payments. The bank has put unnatural pressure on me by freezing my loan. 
So what happened next.? First they charge me late fees when there are n't any. ( I have made sure XXXX XXXX B of A monitors all my payments now. ) They have raised the amount of pay back to XXXX rather than XXXX or 31 days three months in a row. XXXX has practically yelled at them over the phone telling them they ca n't do that. XXXX XXXX used to work in B o A loan department. ) An employee in the department confided to me that they should n't be doing this to me. Her name is XXXX. XXXX I had a recording. XXXX, XXXX of B o A XXXX XXXX fought for me. Just retired. He thought what they were doing was ridiculous. 
Next I get a letter from B of A saying that my loan expires on XXXX, XXXX and I will either have to pay back loan in full or I will be paying much larger payments per month. This last loan began in XXXX. And already I have to pay it back in large sums. 

My issues are XXXX those listed at the bottom of this page : Making payments, signing agreement, problems when you are unable to pay..

On XX/XX/year> I initiated an instant debit transfer from PayPal to my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account in the amount of {$420.00} with an instant transfer fee that resulted in the final transfer amount being {$410.00}. On PayPals end, this was conveyed to me as being denied. They claim the card issuer denied the funds. XXXX claims there was a successful fund transfer and then a reversal microseconds later.

Both institutions claim the other institution has to resolve the problem when I contact them about this.

I have disputed XXXX several times with the credit bureaus because of the numerous inaccuracies on my reports and the inconsistencies between the XXXX, however, all of the issues still exist as XXXX is unwilling or unable to provide accurate, consistent information which is causing issues with when this item is to be correctly removed as per the law. I have included the way in which the same exact account is reported by XXXX to the XXXX different major credit bureaus : Company : XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Loan Type : Charge Account Other Charge Account Account Number - XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX Account Holder : Individual Individual Account Individual Date Opened : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Status Date : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Condition : Not Updated Closed Closed Last Activity : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Not Available Balance : {$0.00} {$0.00} - Status : Charge-off Payment after charge off/collection Account legally paid in full for less than the full balance History : Late 30 Days 0 times 0 times 0 times Late 60 Days 0 times 0 times 0 times Late 90 Plus Days 15 times ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX 0 times 1 time ( XXXX XXXX ) Worst Delinquency : Bad debt/collection None Reported Collection High Balance : - {$190.00} {$190.00} Terms : - - Revolving REMARKS : Account paid for less than full balance / Paid charge off Settled -- less than full balance Account Paid In Full For Less Than The Full Balance As you can see, XXXX CB they are reporting the last activity as XXXX XXXX, XXXX it 's XXXX XXXX and the last they do n't even report a date at all. Then, in the 90 days + date late, to XXXX CB they report none, another they list XX/XX/XXXX and the other they list all the way from XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX. 
This account was sent to a collection agency at some point because I received a letter from them in XXXX XXXX. At the point this account was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, XXXX was no longer the owner of the account, so their continued reporting of it after they 'd closed it is inaccurate. The date of XXXX, XXXX, is the month I paid this to the collection agency. 
I do not understand why XXXX continues to provide inaccurate data.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (KS)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill in the mail for my deceased mother, XXXX XXXX, from XXXX. My mother died on XX/XX/XXXX. The bill was for {$8.00}. It showed a {$4.00} payment was returned on XX/XX/XXXX.  Her checking account was not closed until XX/XX/XXXX and had ample money in it to cover the charge, specifically {$1700.00}. In addition, I tried to phone them on XX/XX/XXXX to advise them she was deceased and to close her account. I called around XXXX and spoke to a person named XXXX XXXX She claimed she was having phone problems and then the call dropped. I tried to call back, received the automated system, but when I asked the system to transfer me to customer service it left me on a dead hold. I hung up and decided to submit the death certificate to the CFPB and a complaint for an explanation of the returned check on XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX responded to the CFPB that they could not discuss the account with me and stated what documents I needed to submit for the account to be closed. Not only did I send the death certificate to the CFPB, but I also sent it through US mail. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another statement from XXXX. This time the balance was {$17.00} because a {$8.00} late fee was accessed on XX/XX/XXXX. They had still not closed the account. I called and spoke to an employee named XXXX around XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. She refused to discuss the account with me, refused to close the account, and stated they would only close it if provided with a death certificate. Clearly, they have one as  provided through the US mail and through the CFPB. As you can see, the company responded on the XX/XX/XXXX to the complaint with the CFPB, obviously had access to the death certificate, but still had not closed the account and went further to bill the account with a late fee on XX/XX/XXXX. 

So again, I am now filing a complaint with your office. XXXX/XXXX   statement along with the complaint submitted to the CFPB and her death certificate. I have also filed a complaint with my state attorney general.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

I have noticed that you have placed an inquiry on my consumer credit file dated XX/XX/2020, TWO times. As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) for an entity to view a consumers credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to your alleged purpose for doing so since I did not apply for employment with your organization nor did I request credit from your organization.

Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; '' You are civilly liable to me in the amount of {$1000.00} for your willful violation of the law -- performing a " hard inquiry '' on my consumer profile without my permission. I do hope that we can settle this matter amicably. You can remove the inquiry within one ( 1 ) business day of the receipt of this notice. Or, we can meet in court where you will end up removing the inquiry, paying me the civil liability fine, punitive damages for my score drop, plus court and attorney fees. The choice is up to you.
