Complaint:
35 years ago I opened an account @ Bank of America, it was a no-fee account, with no minimums, no direct deposits requirements, a totally free checking & savings account as long as I didn't overdraft, which I haven't. In today 's mail, I get a letter from them telling me if I don't meet certain criteria that they will charge me {$12.00} per month. I signed a contract/agreement with them 35 years ago, how can they change the terms in a blink of an eye and start charging me?

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc.

Complaint:
Commonwealth Financial has been reporting an ER bill/medical collection for {$560.00} to my reports since XXXX 2017. I do n't know where this debt is from, as I have no outstanding medical bills. Either XXXX XXXX XXXX is mistaken in their accounting, or Commonwealth is reporting an erroneous collection. I looked up the company in an effort to contact them directly and noticed they are n't a licensed company. It makes me wonder if the debt actually does exist, or if they just report things to people 's credit to make money from those who do n't ask questions

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Westlake Services, LLC

Complaint:
After reviewing the financial history of account, below are the items I believe are in inaccurate and would like to formally dispute. 

XX/XX/XXXX a bill/due date in the amount of {$990.00} that differs from the principal but without detailed, itemized expenses. 
XX/XX/XXXX late charge of {$30.00} that should not have been assessed. 
XX/XX/XXXX a final payment of {$240.00} was made which was the amount that a Westlake representative stated was the remaining amount due. 

According to the payment history sent by Westlake on XX/XX/XXXX, there is a balance of {$16.00} that was remaining but there is no bill/due date noted that shows at any time any representative of Westlake either by mail or telephonically informed me of the {$16.00} balance. 

XX/XX/XXXX notes that the account was noted as a Charge Off even though the loan had been completely paid off via the amount Westlake stated on XX/XX/XXXX and I was never notified of a remaining balance of {$16.00}. 
XX/XX/XXXX notes an additional repossession expense charge off in the amount of {$400.00} that should not have been assessed as it was previously paid and again not in the stated pay off amount, via Westlake Financial on XX/XX/XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX late charge off fees of {$120.00} that should not have been assessed. 
XX/XX/XXXX non sufficient funds fee/charge off fees of {$25.00} that should not have been assessed. 
XX/XX/XXXX interest fees/charge off of {$.00} that should not have been assessed. 

In addition, the amounts paid on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX equates to a total of {$1000.00} which is greater than the final bill/due date that was sent on XX/XX/XXXX and stated a final payment of {$990.00}. This was the last bill/payment request that Westlake Financial mailed to me. 

On or around XX/XX/XXXX the paid off vehicle that this loan was secured on was traded in to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, VA. Legal ownership of the vehicle then transferred. The XX/XX/XXXX payment in the amount of {$560.00} should not be represented on my financial history account as the final payment as made on XX/XX/XXXX, the vehicle was sold to the dealership on or around XX/XX/XXXX, thus I was no longer the legal owner or in possession of the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX. This payment activity transpired 9 months after legal ownership had transferred.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.

Complaint:
From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX we had a temporary apartment in XXXX XXXX. I was there for XXXX and a month of XXXX XXXX. 

During the stay we set up a XXXX account for internet service. My wife made the call and the account was set up in her name. 

When we moved out in XX/XX/XXXX ( back to our home in XXXX XXXX, Ca ), we received instructions from XXXX where to return our equipment but did not receive a final bill. 

Unfortunately, we were not aware of an outstanding balance. With a short-term rental, we were required to pay upfront for services, so not receiving a final bill from XXXX did not set off any alarms. 

In early XXXX we received a notice from Diversified Consultants, we immediately called XXXX and paid the balance due of {$160.00}. Diversified Consultants posted on my wifes credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Diversified will not remove this from the credit report and XXXX claims they can not help. 

We pay our bills and have perfect credit otherwise. Unfortunately, XXXX is a large company that has gotten away from personal interaction. And Diversified will not do anything to remove it from the credit report. 

We made an offer on a house that was accepted and were unaware of this on the credit report. This will cost us thousands of dollars in higher interest rates and a larger down payment to qualify for a conventional loan as opposed to a jumbo loan. 

XXXX had many ways to reach us by phone, email and home address. We left a forwarding address at the temporary apartment. We simply never received a bill. 

At this time XXXX claims they can not help. And that is in the rare occasion we reach someone there that knows what they are doing. 

Diversified refuses to remove the collection from the credit report. We paid the debt directly to XXXX as soon as we were aware of it and Diversified should never have been involved.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX my daughter purchased a car from XXXX of XXXX in SC. We filled out the application as my daughter being the owner and myself as the co-signer. The ran our credit and she paid her down payment of {$2500.00}. The next day she went to pick up the vehicle and XXXX sales man talked her into purchasing a warranty. Well the contract changed from daughter as the owner to the co-signer and put my name as the owner ( first red flag ). My daughter total the car on XXXX XXXX but the insurance company couldnt payoff the vehicle. Because XXXX of XXXX didnt have the title to the vehicle. Finally in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX of XXXX gave the insurance company the title but not after going o the DMV and lying about us purchasing the vehicle in XXXX to get the taxes paid on the car. Once XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX got the check we asked about the warranty refund. It took them until XX/XX/XXXX to apply the amount to our account but it wasnt the full warranty amount. Then XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  charged off the account to handle the scandal. I contacted the company and spoke with XXXX that called the warranty on three-way. The company advised us that the warranty was voided by XXXX of XXXX and to contact them directly. So XXXX called XXXX of XXXX on three-way call and spoke with XXXX who XXXX that a representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX advised her to send the warranty refund minus the amount they owed the company from another consumer auto deal. And she thought it was okay to cheat me out of my full refund amount.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint:
A month ago I opened a business account with Bank of America. After depositing {$15000.00} into the account at branches while waiting for card tied to acct to arrive in mail. I needed to send a wire transfer to purchase equipment to build my small business. I went into the bank branch and was basically told that I could not send a wire transfer without the card. I was told to just wait a few more days for the card to arrive. After waiting a full week more for the card I went back into the branch and was told again I couldn't send a wire transfer from my business acct without the card. So I transferred the balance of my business acct to my personal checking acct and was finally able to send my wire transfer. This delay cost me {$1000.00}. An amount that as a small business definitley hurts. To this I was just told " sorry ''. After finally being able to use my own money through my personal checking acct I closed my business acct with Bank of America. Still keeping my personal savings and checking accts while I found a new banking institution to take my business to. The next evening I tried to purchase a {$2.00} stock photo for my business website with my debit card only to be told there was a problem with my card. I have now been on the phone with Bank of America XXXX service for close to an hour because for some reason, ( no one can tell me why ... ) my debit card was cancelled. There are no notes or reasons on my acct as to why it was cancelled. Basically leaving me with no access to my funds since I left the bank yesterday. They have told me they can not turn my card back on, but can send me a new card. No, I can not wait who knows how long for a new card to access my money. Money that the bank has no problem letting someone else use for their profit. so as of now I have no access to the {$12000.00} in my checking and savings acct. Also now since my card has been turned off none of my saved payments ( Mortgage, cell phone, etc ) will work. If this is not resolved soon I will end up with a late payment to mortgage company that affects my credit and livelihood. This is the most unacceptable treatment of a customer I have ever experienced. And at this moment Im being told by XXXX ( would not give me last name and would not transfer me to his boss ) that there is nothing they can do to help me.
