Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

On XX/XX/2021 I asked for a balance transfer to Bank of America ( BankAmericard ) to pay off another credit card, and they gave me a credit limit of {$2000.00} that was much lower than the amount I have asked. On XX/XX/2021 Bank of America made the payment of {$1900.00} to my credit card without notified me. Because Bank of America did not give me the amount requested for I couldn't payoff my credit card. I called Bank of America and asked them to cancel the balance transfer requested. Their associate named XXXX from Texas was told me that was impossible to cancel because was made a eletronic payment. I think it is not fear because I received a letter with a card for activation, that I never did, and credit card agreement letter, credit score ( I have XXXX ) letter, and account summary table letter after they make a payment. The letters they sent to me did not have a datest Now the Bank of America wants I pay them the amount, refusing to cancel the balance transfer against my will. What can I do now? I am obligated to have this credit card against my will? This financial companies will win all the time against the american people?

On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score went down XXXX points. When I checked my credit report, my on-time payment history had decreased from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am currently late on my XXXX payment on all 3 credit bureaus. The message related to why the huge drop in my score along with my payment percentage going down stated that it was due to a missed payment from XXXX XXXX, which is my creditor for my car loan. However, when I checked my XXXX account information on my credit report, there was no missed payment showing. I still have all green checks for on-time payments, so none of this should have ever happened. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the credit bureau to find out what happened and to see if it was a possible mistake since my account was not showing anything about a missed payment. They stated that it could have been a mistake but they stated they did not know why and they did nothing to remove it. On XX/XX/2022, I called XXXX and asked why this happened since I hadn't missed a payment. They stated that they were not showing a missed payment for me at all and that they did not provide the credit bureaus with any information pertaining to a missed payment.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (RI)

I have XXXX checking accounts with Citizen Bank. XXXX is a primary that has a XXXX plus balance anther is a older account that was setup for direct pay of utilities balance usually {$1000.00} or less. The bank suggested that I cancel the utilities direct withdrawal. I did cancel the utility direct withdrawal. The bank also suggested and demonstrated the online bill pay feature. I went on my online account and started paying bills online. When you click the pay bill online button it does NOT give you the option of which checking account to to with draw from, it just chooses which ever account it wants. On the next screen the site just defaults to a checking account it calls " default checking account '' showing just the last XXXX numbers which on the the main page shows just the last XXXX. This is where it gets misleading and confusing. You see the terms " default checking account '' and XXXX digits. If your not looking closely you can start paying bills like its your primary checking account. I started using bill pay with smaller bills and seemed to work fine. Then I started paying bigger bills and it over-drafted XXXX times in two days due to using the incorrect account number that the system defaulted. In my case it defaulted to my non primary utility paying checking account and rang up {$170.00} in fees which Citizen would not credit. It never gave me the option to CHOOSE a account initially and then defaulted to an account I never use and has insufficient funds. If the system defaulted to a specific checking account it should have defaulted to my XXXX account which it did not. I believe that bank defaults the pay bill feature to the account with less funds in it. Citizen could not give me a explanation for why the system defaulted to the secondary account and cost me {$170.00} in fees. All they can say is that the you can change the account after the SYSTEM CHOOSES a account for you. I want to CHOOSE my account not have the system default to which account it feels like. 
I feel that this is happening to others.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (GA)

Several months ago I FROZE MY ACCOUNT wih Discover by clicking the link that says " Freeze Account ''. However, Discover, apparently has created a new definition for freezing an account as they have continued to allow merchants to charge my account for services that I want to move to my other credit cards. Discover has a bad habit of advertising an image of being customer centric and customer friendly, yet makes moves that work for them. This is called " False Advertising '' and they are guilty of it in many areas of their business. 

They have allowed charges from XXXX XXXX for XXXX and XXXX for XXXX these are not authorized on my Discover Card. 

They show a current balance of XXXX. Please provide Discover Card with the " Adult Supervision '' that they so desparately need and have these two charges canceled and remit a check to me for XXXX. 

I also ask that you educate Discover Card on what " Freeze My Account '' means.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I opened an account with Bank of America in XXXX. I had been a faithful customer with them for 10 years and never owed them any money. I had a credit card like I said opened in or around XXXX but they offered me a 0 % APR FOR A YEAR I kept asking the terms about this but they just kept telling that I could get any loan without an APR if I did this within one year as that was as long as this offer was good for. They said nothing about additional APR % charges either. It was my XXXX time so I fell for it. Turns out that AFTER ONE YEAR the loan had to be paid off or I was charged an outrageous amount of 29 %. I could not pay them all the money back because I lost my job but kept trying to. They would in no way work with me on this and financially the loan was closed in about XXXX. That was after they took advantage of me by charging late charges etc. Now the worst part is this they are lying about when this was charged off ( XXXX ) so it will not fall off my credit report after 7 years. When I approached them they just sent it to a collection agency XXXX XXXX. Whats even worse they just put that the loan was opened or charged off in XXXX and even put that as the charge off day every year from then on!! So in other words this charged off loan keeps on my record being updated every year and probably will never fall of my record at all since it is past the 7 year deadline. I gave my information and the Bank or XXXX XXXX can remove it from the XXXX credit bureaus so myself and my children will not suffer from no loans.
