Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Navient is incorrectly reporting loan lates. Forbearance/Deferrements were granted in the past, and on my credit reports, I am noticing late payments cited on the following months : XXXX - 90 days late ( Under Forbearance, no payment made, no prior lates noted and suddenly a 90 day late mark, loan was with XXXX XXXX ) XXXX - 120 days late ( Under Forebearance, note, no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting, loan was with XXXX XXXX ) XXXX - 120 days late ( Under Forebearance, note, no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting, loan was with XXXX XXXX ) XXXX - 120 days late ( Under Forebearance, note, no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting, loan was with XXXX XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX - ( No reporting whatsoever, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 90 days late ( Under Forebearance, note, no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 90 days late ( Under Forebearance, note, no payment made, in forbearance status, no prior lates reported, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 120 days late ( Under Forebearance, note no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 150 days late ( Under Forebearance, note no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 180 days late ( Under Forebearance, note no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 180 days late ( Under Forebearance, note no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - 180 days late ( Under Forebearance, note no payment made, in forbearance status, inaccurate reporting ) XXXX - XXXX - No loans reported at all XXXX - 90 days late, In Loan Rehab - Inaccurate reporting XXXX - 120 days late, in loan rehab, inaccurate reporting XXXX - 150 days late, in loan rehab, inaccurate reporting XXXX - 180 days late, in loan rehab, inaccurate reporting XXXX - XXXX - Accurately reporting in rehab status XXXX - Present, no loan reporting, current in deferrment, enrolled in school, starting XXXX. Also, inaccurate reporting. 

Due to these countless inaccuracies, I have formally requested in writing from Navient to remove these late marks, and correct these marks that are causing me financial harm. I requested them to initially correct these errors, and was told they had not made any mistakes, and that the FCRA act denies them the ability to make these changes. This is factually incorrect, on multiple levels. 

Please assist me in recovery of the damage this has caused my creditworthiness.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2016, someone used my account information to make a {$1000.00} purchase at a XXXX store in XXXX, TX. I saw the transaction and immediately contacted Bank of America to inform them that this was a fraudulent charge. I was at work and had not made the purchase. They opened a claim and reviewed it and eventually stated that it was not fraudulent since a PIN was used for the transaction. I filed a police report and contacted Bank of America once again informing them that it was fraudulent and provided them a copy of the police report. I explained to them that I know that there have been incidents where consumers ' account information including access to PINs has been stolen. They reopened the case and again denied that it was fraudulent even with the police report and my statement. They refused to replace the funds into my account.

Complaint narrative:
I was finally provided a loan forgiveness from Bank of America of {$120000.00} in XXXX 2015. I was also given a letter from Monitor of the Bank of America Mortgage Settlement stating that Bank of America has set aside {$490.00} XXXX in funds for tax relief for those of us that receive a loan forgiveness from BoA. I am now sitting with my taxes and seeing that I owe over {$40000.00} in State and Federal taxes due to the loan forgiveness. I have attempted to contact the XXXX but they have stated they are no longer providing tax relief. I have gotten no further information on how to access these funds.

Complaint narrative:
Account Number : XXXX The account is closed and paid in full. It has been over 7 years since the account was open. Therefore, I am asking for you to remove this item immediately. 
My Bank of America mortgage account has 30-Day delinquencies for XXXX and XXXX. My original mortgage servicer was Country Wide and was bought out by Bank of America in XXXX. Due to the recent National Mortgage settlement, Bank of America was one of the lenders who were found guilty of extensive mortgage servicing misconduct and deceptive practices during the XXXX settlement. Therefore, my 30-Day delinquencies are a result of their misconduct. 
At this time, I ask that you remove the 30 day late payment immediately off of my account and credit report.

I paid the amount in full on XXXX/XXXX/15 before payment due date and then they charged interest on XXXX/XXXX/15. When I tried to chat with them all of a sudden they kept acting like they had n't even talked to me and kept trying to start over. IT says right on statement no interest will be charged if paid in full before payment due date. I paid XXXX and then for some reason was charged interest on 3 thousand something for which the statement is suddenly unavailable.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
It all started yesterday when I receiving an email that stated : After careful review, we determined this account needed to be closed, effective XXXX/XXXX/2016. 
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 
I immediately called and was stunned to find out that the email was genuine, and that my account truly was terminated without cause or notice. 

The initial reason I was given was that the account was closed for security reasons due to 6 months of inactivity. That seemed like an easy fix, but the agent was unable to resolve it and had to transfer to another department. There I was asked a lot of questions and was eventually told that they were not going to do anything about it and a letter was coming in the mail. I went on to speak to many different credit analysts, all who asked me a lot off questions and responded with the same answer ... sorry, but you 're not getting your credit line back. 
It was clear that Bank of America had an agenda to steal my {$35000.00} in working capital under false and unethical pretense, Its systematically closing customer accounts for XXXX reasons in order to commit theft. 

And despite my pleading that this would seriously derail my business, and that I may have to lay off employees due to inability to cover payroll, or lose business due to inability to provision for the upcoming holiday seasonality rush ... they could have cared less. 

What makes matters even worse, is that I 've been a customer of this bank for decades ... and have a perfect record with them. I 'm the type of loyal model customer any business wants to have - which each agent I spoke with acknowledged each time. So its absolutely terrifying that if they are steeling from me with a 'whatever ... you 're not getting it back ' attitude as to how this is going to impact my ability to stay in business ... then you have to ask yourself .... Just how many other, smaller guys are they doing this to right now as well ... who are not model account holders with decades of loyalty and spotless records?????

Issue: Other fee — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of a large number of unauthorized charges on my credit cards that has resulted in high interest and bank fees. Unaware of the transactions I was deemed the " billing '' party and not the " shipping '' party. In the process of recovering the items from the individual who placed the charges on my account and being sure the items were returned, I discovered how difficult it is to return items because there is no recognizable footprint for internet transactions. If the " shipped '' party does not possess their electronic record ( email confirmation of the transaction ), it may be difficult to access the electronic record any other way. Banks tell me they have no information for dot.com transactions. Merchants tell me they ca n't understand and synthesize their records and easily tie the records back to the original transactions. Meanwhile, the interest and fees charged by the credit card mount for the consumer. 
The problem with record keeping starts at purchase. In my case : Dot.com merchants never validated or asked whether the purchaser and the credit card owner were the same. With this, merchants invited the possibility of an unauthorized transaction and bear none of the burden of interest charges and fees or other consequences to the " billed '' party. 

Once the transaction occurred, the merchant 's loyalty was only to the " shipped '' party. Dot.com merchants did not recognize the " billed '' party ( me ) as a legitimate party. Most would not correspond with me, send refund check for returned merchandise to me, share specific information about the account, or in some cases, even talk to me. 

As the 'billed '' party, I received only information on the credit card statement : transaction date, merchant, and total cost. These are not sufficient information to return an item for a refund. 
Ultimately, most of the items have been returned because of my persistance and luck with finding pieces of information. I am left with an estimated {$1000.00} in interest and fee charges. I feel the inaccessibility of information contributed greatly to not being able to return items sooner. 
At risk are those who are not tech savvy, the XXXX, the elderly, who could potentially incur large credit card balances and be unable to trace charges and make returns because of the morass of data surrounding their transactions should they be unable to keep accurate personal records. In the meantime, the credit card company is charging interest on transactions that this consumer is unable to resolve without the merchants ' cooperation.

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a monthly paycheck into my local Bank of America ATM on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX in the amount of {$1700.00}. {$300.00} was available immediately, and per my online app, the balance of the check would be available Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, as I am accustomed to. I used my ATM card to make a purchase today, Monday afternoon, XX/XX/XXXX, and my card was declined. I called BOA to ask why my money deposited on XX/XX/XXXX was not available, and they said it would be available on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX. Since I have been with BOA since XX/XX/XXXX, I know this is a departure from practice, since when I deposit a check on the weekend, it is available on Monday, the first business day. I spoke with XXXX customer service staff who both sympathized, but both said the check would n't be available until XX/XX/XXXX, 4 days after the deposits. They both stressed there is no hold on my account, it just takes that long to process my check. This is a check I have deposited monthly for 14 years, issued from the State of California. I asked both customer service staff what has changed, and why was n't I informed, and they had no answer. Perhaps cfpb can help me navigate this, as no one has answers, and this is clearly not right.

Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My payment on my credit card was received by Bank of America 4 days after the due date, generating a late fee as well as interest. The interest charged to me was an overcharge. In the next month, another interest payment was assessed to me. This was incorrectly charged. Bank of America was unable to specify what that interest charge pertained to. With respect to that month, our bill was timely paid early and in full, plus a large overpayment. Our overpayment to Bank of America occurred because its bill was incorrect because it failed to credit our previous month 's payment, continuing to bill it as a charge still due. So we paid the previous month 's bill twice. Interest was then assessed, twice, on entirely wrong amounts, none of which were owed.

Complaint narrative:
I take 0 % interest cash advances on my Bank of America credit card ( paying the one-time fees ). Usually I have more than XXXX borrowing tranche outstanding, each with its own expiration date for the 0 % interest rate. Some time ago the section of the monthly statement titled " Interest Charge Calculation started showing a zero in the column headed " Balance Subject to Interest Rate '' for each XXXX, making it impossible to verify the amount that will need to be paid off at the 0 % expiration rate without calling the bank. This information used to be furnished on the statement. I will attach a PDF of my statement so you can see that this information is in a table that logically could and should include the balances of each tranche. I pay attention and do the phone call, but I 'm concerned that this information should be there for others and I certainly would prefer not having to call the bank for information they should be furnishing on the statement.
