Consumer complaint received 10-10-2016 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY).
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint: I went through severe financial hardship after losing my job in XXXX of 2015. Through it all, I continued to pay my credit cards on time and keep up with my payments. In XXXX of 2015, I was forced to move to NY for a new job and start all over again. I had to tap into my savings in order to make the move and keep myself afloat. I also had to financially support my parents at this time as they lost their jobs. To make matters worse, I also re-enrolled to attend school on a fulltime basis. My income was stretched beyond my means. 

In XXXX of 2015 I contacted Bank Of America and asked them to provide me with a solution to pay off the debt. The agent on the phone informed me that they ca n't help me as I have n't defaulted on a payment and that I need to default in order to qualify for assistance. Upon defaulting, I contacted Bank Of America again in XXXX 2015 and asked them to help me lower payments. They did n't once again. It was n't until XXXX 2015 when the bank finally reached out to me with a payment solution. By this point, they had decided to tag on various fees associated with my delinquency and the only way for me to regain my credit was by paying it all off. I was n't offered any solutions. I was n't given an option but to default. 

Bank of America has since charged off this loan and collected their insurance disbursement yet they solicited my information ( without my authorization ) to a third party attorney group in order to collect my debt. 

This is the definition of unfair lending practices. I have attempted to do everything within my capabilities to resolve this matter and I 'm at my wit 's end. Please help.

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Problem cancelling or closing account

Complaint: In XXXX, I paid Experian {$4.00} for a XXXX score. There was NOTHING that indicated that I was signing on for anything other than that score. Today, I noticed that XXXX was charging my debit account {$19.00} for Experian. I called XXXX, and they told me there 's been a monthly charge of {$19.00} since XXXX. They called Experian, who said they would credit {$19.00}, but no more. XXXX said, with further investigation, they MIGHT be able to get a total of {$59.00} XXXX for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. They said they could not go back to XXXX because their liability did not allow them to. I called Experian, who said they could only refund ONE month of {$19.00}. When I said that I never authorized or signed for anything other than a {$4.00} XXXX score, the representative claimed " It was on our website. '' I then inquired that if I had signed on to some long-term contract, why had n't I receive a confirming email or review of exactly the service and terms to which I had committed. She reiterated that she could only refund {$19.00}. I asked her again for the total refund of {$79.00}, but she refused. To this moment ( and I was on with XXXX and Experian for a better part of an hour ) I have NO idea what the {$19.00} monthly charge was for, or what benefit or service I was receiving for that money. I believe this is an underhanded manner to get people 's credit or debit card information and surreptitiously charge them. I told Experian I expect the full refund because I was never informed of the charge or service, and never asked for the service. Thank you for your assistance.

Consumer complaint received 05/24/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (GA).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Insurance premium of XXXX for Mutual of XXXX whole life policy # XXXX, which I signed an agreement to be deducted from my personal checking account with the Navy Federal CU, account # XXXX on the XXXX of each month. The company XXXX debited {$55.00} on the XXXX of XXXX and on the XXXX of XXXX. They made XXXX withdrawals within a 30 day period, illegal under banking laws for an insurance product. NFCU has offered to credit back the {$31.00} overdraft fee. I believe XXXX knew I had an XXXX deposit pending and was held until the XXXX. NFCU, although I had a pending posted deposit, NFCU refused to clear the draft. XXXX uses different days to post this payment, so that I may lapse my insurance policy, depite federal banking laws. They can not make multiple drafts within a 30 day period for an insurance policy. I do move money around as I have been a victim of identity theft, so I need the bank to follow an automatic draft schedule as most financial institutions are capable of in the XXXX century of electronic billing. This company also did not take a draft at all in XXXX, I had to mail the payment in. XXXX this premium draft to a third party who does n't provide a legal address or phone number. This jeopardizes my already fragile credit rating and puts my life insurance policies at risk for being disputed. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Consumer complaint received 10-08-2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (DC).
Issue: Other

Complaint: On XXXX I rented a vehicle from XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I charged this rental on my Chase VISA card ( XXXX Mileage Plus ) and I thought, chose to waive the damage waiver because Chase had sent me an email that such insurance coverage would be provided if I used this card to pay for rentals overseas. Apparently I accepted damage waiver, but with a XXXX XXXX payment due if I had an accident. On XX/XX/XXXX I had a blow out on the left front tire, requiring towing and replacement of the tire, then on XX/XX/XXXX I scraped the left side of the car on a narrow, walled road in XXXX. I returned the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX and was charged XXXX XXXX in additon to the rental charges. I submitted a claim to Chase and provided them all supporting documents describing the damage and repair costs. They declined to cover the charges of {$910.00} stating that I had failed to affirmatively decline the Collision Damage Waiver on the rental agreement. It appears to me that I declined the Rental Company 's insurance by taking responsibility for the XXXX XXXX excess damage waiver. I feel that Chase is misleading customers into using their credit card by offering this insurance coverage yet denying claims that are seemingly covered. Had I known I would have had to go through so many hoops only to be denied, I would have opted for the rental car insurance coverage.

Consumer complaint received 03-07-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Paramount GR Holdings, LLC (WA).
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint: I refinanced my home with Paramount Equity and used the money to pay my credit cards. Part of the requirement by underwriting to receive the loan I was told I had to close all of my accounts. I was also told to not pay any bills during the process of the paperwork. They had a third party person I had to contact so Paramount could verify I had closed my accounts. Today I found out that this process had ruined my credit rating and that this process was illegal. I am XXXX years old and I feel I have been taken advantage of illegally. The people I talked to today told me that this was the reason my credit score plummeted. He told me my score was under XXXX on XXXX score and the low XXXX on the other XXXX scores. He told me my credit score was near XXXX until this was done. Can I get some help.

Consumer complaint received 01/25/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WEBSTER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I am particularly concerned after doing some research about my home i purchased in XXXX XXXX. 

The information I discovered has led me to want to investigate this mortage. As, a first home owner i felt that I was a victim of " equitty Skimmping '' and neglience. Over the years when I was unable to resell my home for nearly the cost of what I paid for it. 

My research conducted that, the house was purchased prior on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for {$130000.00} and Taxes Assesment at $ XXXX I bought this same home In XXXX XXXX ( less 6 months ) as a young niave XXXX time home buyer. I realized I was over-charged for the home and also taxes. I was led to believe the house cost {$220000.00} $ and {$130000.00} ( Taxes ). I also feel that the appraisal was manipulated and would like that investigated as well. Although in XXXX the market was high however I felt I was targeted and taken advantage of. In addition, I have doubt that the house never was worth or close to {$220000.00} of what they charged me. 

IF you take a look on XXXX, you would also see where I attempted to put house on market and it never sold.In fact im currently in a upside down mortage. 

I dont understand how do a property town tax go from asessment of {$72000.00} to {$130000.00} less than 6 months without any updates. I felt that I was targeted and taken advantage of. 

I believe that this was " Property flipping '' fraud. The home was purchased and resold within a short time frame at an artificially inflated value. This sale involved a fraudulent appraisal, which indicated that renovations were made to the home, when, in fact, there were none, the renovations consisted only of minor cosmetic improvements such as paint. I would like this matter investigated
