Complaint narrative:
I am required to carry flood insurance on my property and when I received my renewal notice recently, the premium had gone up dramatically and it stated that I could increase my deductible up to {$10000.00} if my mortgage holder was in agreement with that. I called Bank of America and they said there was no problem with a high deductible but would not send a letter to XXXX to verify this. I went through my insurance agent and he also spoke with BofA with the same results. He actually spoke to XXXX different people and XXXX said they would not send a letter out to XXXX allowing a deductible increase. The increased deductible would drastically decrease my premium, which is what I want. I am requesting that a letter be sent to XXXX from BofA on my behalf.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I am having difficulty getting Bank of America to move forward with an approved short sale and would like to file a complaint. House was put up for short sale and we received an offer of {$390000.00} and submitted to the lender on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Received an FHA Approval to Participate dated XXXX/XXXX/2015. It calls for a list price of {$380000.00} and a minimum net proceed amount of {$330000.00}. Current net to lender is $ XXXX, which is {$27000.00} more than what the lender requires. The attorney we have hired to handle the short sale has been calling and e-mailing the lender daily for the past three weeks and the responses have been sporadic at best. Messages left for supervisors at Bank of America do not get returned. We feel as though the lender delay is a result of bad faith negotiation on their part.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX I consolidated XXXX of my federal student loans. The interest rate was fixed, and I had {$20000.00} in outstanding principal. I have always made my payments in full and on time, and have even made some payments ahead of time so I am now paid in advance by 5 months. 
In XXXX XXXX I received a letter in the mail saying the loan servicer updated my payment schedule. My monthly payments went from {$130.00} to {$160.00}. It did n't make sense to me that I would need to pay an extra {$24.00} each month if my interest rate was fixed and I 've never missed a payment. I called the loan servicer to find out why the change, and they indicated that a recent review of my account showed that the amount I was paying each month would n't be enough to pay off my loan by the payoff date. After hearing this I essentially asked them, " you acquired the loan in XXXX, and it is just now being reviewed? '' and they said yes. I feel like I 've been taken advantage of, the loan servicer did not do their due diligence in managing my loan, that they did not act responsibly in handling my loan at the time it was acquired, and my trust in them has been broken.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am placing this complaint for the mishandling of my repeatedly requests for a modification. In XXXX I was granted this {$200000.00} mortgage originally with XXXX XXXX, in XXXX it was sold to Countrywide and in XXXX sold to Bank of America. In XXXX my husband had XXXX surgery and had to stop working and I had to reduce my hours to become his caregiver at which time we defaulted. Up until this time we had made every payment on time, even paid {$110.00} extra each month towards the prinicipal. In XXXX financially our situation improved and I started applying with Bank of America for a modification at this point we were only 12 months behind. Each time I called for a status I was given the run around, excuses of lost applications, missing docucments, outdated financials, assigned new representatives etc. When I finally received a response in XXXX it was a denial for not qualifying for any programs. I immediately filed an appeal and the application process and stall tactics began again, all the while the arrears kept getting higher! In XXXX XXXX I received a letter saying my mortgage was sold to XXXX and I found myself having to begin the modification process all over again! In XXXX XXXX XXXX denied my modification and foreclosure notice came shortly after. This time I consulted with a not for profit agency who helped me fight. Finally I was approved but being that non of the arrears were forgiven and no principal reduction the new mortgage amount would be {$310000.00} on a house that is only worth {$220000.00} and the monthly payment was going to be 52 % of my net salary! As much as I want to save my home I could n't accept this offer. Financially I am able to pay this mortgage, I have no outstanding debt, my credit score is XXXX, I pay all my bills on time, all I need is an affordable modification! What I do n't understand is why Bank of America was allowed to get away with this. My misfortune happened during the banking industry crisis they got bailed out by the federal government why ca n't the government help the common man keep their home! I built this house in XXXX when I was XXXX years old I raised my XXXX children, this is not a house this is our HOME! All I need is someone to help me fight against this injustice, reduce the arrears that were not my fault and let me keep my home!

Company: SUNRISE CREDIT SERVICES, INC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
XXXX kept sending me bills for items I had already paid on or paid in full. I finally gave up calling them and sent a complaint to this agency. They then sent me a bill for the final, remaining combined balance. It was correct, so I sent in the payment of {$64.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Thinking it was now all over, I felt calm and went on with life. 

Yesterday, in the mail, I got a letter from " Sunrise Credit Services , Inc. '' on behalf of ... wait for it ... XXXX!!!! It is XXXX XXXX, XXXX!!!! They have an account number and balance of {$82.00} and give XXXX XXXX. XXXX where you have options on " if you pay by ... send {$62.00} '', which gives you {$20.00} off '', etc. It also declares you can use your " Tax Refund '' to clear up this debt ... Call us ... We 're happy to help! We can Grant Your Wish ''. Oh, and by the way, the last line says : " This offer will expire on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We are not obligated to renew this offer! '' Not that I need this offer, but if I did, I only had one day to respond! Unbelievable these people! 

I refuse to contact them and deal with this again. It has been paid. If they put this on my CREDIT REPORT, I am going to explode! 

XXXX needs to get its records straight on how much people pay on their so-called " installment plans '' and when the bill is paid in full. Apparently their bookkeeping department is deficient and causing stress to consumers of the goods they advertise and sell. I thankfully kept ALL of my records from the time I ordered until I paid off the bill. Otherwise, I would have possibly been fooled into thinking they were correct! How many of our elderly out there are falling for the faulty billing practices of this phony give-a-way program? It should be investigated! 

Now, I am asking for your help with this bogus credit company trying to collect a debt that I do not owe. I appreciate any assistance you can give me in this matter as it is extremely frustrating and ridicules.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I requested XXXX loans, XXXX for {$4000.00} and XXXX for {$2600.00} ( total {$6200.00} ), to attend XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, WY. I graduated XX/XX/XXXX. 

Over the next several years I paid my loan to XXXX XXXX intermittently at best. I took forbearance 's and deferment 's as much as I could, paying when I could. I now work in the railroad industry, and work has been on and off over the years, as were my payments. Over the last several years my payments have been on time. I have paid over {$12000.00} since XX/XX/XXXX ; I do not have records of the payments I made over the 10 years before that. 
At this point I have paid over double the amount borrowed. At the current rate should I continue my current payment plan will end up paying approximately six times the amount borrowed. XXXX XXXX and now Navient have raised my payments over the years. I had got them at one point to lower my payments only to have the raise again recently to over XXXX dollars a month.

Complaint narrative:
My bank account was grossly mishandle. I called customer service at Bank of America to ask for a loan for my hearing aid. The representative over the phone told me about a XXXX LOAN. I trusted what they told me and I thought that I was getting an interest free loan for {$5000.00} which could be paid off monthly over the course of a year which would be deposited to my checking account. Instead a CASH ADVANCE was deposited to my checking account and then withdrawn without my knowledge resulting in an OVERDRAFT PROTECTION and OVER DRAFT FEE on top of all of this. THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED. I ended up returning the XXXX and the {$5000.00} was returned to Bank of America from the merchant but I am still suffering interest debt and emotional and financial distress as a result of this mishap.

They said my account overdraft on XX/XX/XXXX but sent a certified email stating that my acct was less than {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. So they waited until sleeping hours to process the charge and before I could transfer the additional funds ( which is totally possible considering I have XXXX accounts with them ) they charged me an overdraft, and not once but FOUR times. I then called and was put on hold for over 30 minutes and got hung up on.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Navient began calling me several months ago, saying that I had a payment due. I knew this was not the case as I did not graduate until XX/XX/2016 ( XXXX until that point ). I was told they were contacting me on behalf of XXXX XXXX as my account was in collections. So, I contacted XXXX XXXX directly. I made sure they had my enrollement verification on file and that all was well. However, Navient kept calling SEVERAL times a day - both me and my mother. On average, they call my cell phone 7 times per day, my mothers cell phone 7 times a day, and her office 5 times per day. Sometimes a few more times, never any less. I started ignoring the phone calls as I was told by XXXX XXXX that I did not owe them any money. Navient began leaving voicemails for both myself and my mother each time they called. The voicemails always last at least 30 seconds, but there is never anyone talking, all you can hear is background noise ( people talking at a distance ). Oftentimes when they called, the phone would ring for about 5 seconds and they would just hang up. At this point, I began to suspect that it was not actually Navient trying to contact me, but someone attempting to steal my identity. What credible company does things like that?? At one point, I answer their call, and they tell me they are calling on behalf of my federal student loans and that I was delinquent and needed to make a payment. I knew this was not the case, so I hung up immediately. Today, I decided I had finally had enough. I called Navient and spoke with someone, demanding they explain why they had not stopped calling me. It turns out that Navient purchased one of my loans FROM XXXX XXXX, THEY WERE NOT CALLING ON BEHALF OF XXXX XXXX AS THEY HAD TOLD ME IN THE FIRST PLACE. After being transfered to speak with a supervisor, I told him I had no idea what had been going on as I had been misinformed by several of Navient 's employees in the past. I told him I would upload my enrollment verification form immediately so that I could use up the rest of my grace period. The supervisor then told me that it was too late and I was no longer entilted to the grace period and I had to make a payment at that exact moment or else my delinquincy would begin to show on my credit and my mothers credit ( she is the cosigner ). I insisted that I knew I had a legal right to 6 months grace period, starting at the moment that I was no longer a XXXX. His tone and words began to change slightly, but told me that I would need to call back in an hour after I had uploaded the verification form to see if they would be able to complete the request in time to avoid credit reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I purchase an airline ticket with XXXX XXXX on their US website for around XXXX USD on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The fare was quoted in USD and I paid in USD with my Bank of America ( BofA ) credit card. After I received my credit card statement I noticed BofA went on to charge me foreign transaction fee of XXXX USD, which is not insignificant. However on the credit card statement the fare amount was in also in USD. 
I contacted XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX complaining and they assured me that my ticket was paid in USD and not in XXXX and was routed through their New York office. 
I contacted BofA on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to reverse the transaction fee and they told me to read my policy which states the foreign transaction fee. I told them what XXXX told me that the funds were routed through their New York office. I told Bofa that this could not have been a foreign transaction fee, because the transaction was not sent overseas and that the funds remained in the US. On top of that the fare was quoted in USD and I paid in USD. 
Bofa kept being uncooperative, telling me that XXXX XXXX have their office in XXXX hence the transaction fee. 
Even after XXXX representatives I was getting nowhere. 
I asked the customer service rep to provide me with documentation that XXXX did not charge me in USD but in XXXX, including the exchange rate. The Bofa rep was still not cooperative. 
It 's fraudulent and misleading to charge XXXX unaware customers illegal transaction fees. And especially if it a FOREX fee, Bofa needs to provide documentation and the exchange rate of such transaction.

Navient at no time helped me to reduce my payments to income based. Due to that I am not over a XXXX dollars behind. Anytime I would contact customer service, they would state that I based on my income I would have to pay nearly {$300.00}. I only have XXXX loan with them and over XXXX in federal student loans.
