Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS)
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018, upon checking my bank account online I noticed I had three ( 3 ) overdraft fees of {$29.00} from XXXX. 
I called the XXXX XXXX number to ask why did put the checks through, now, three times. In the past, XXXX has notified XXXX will only put a check through two times and then send written communication to the consumer for payment and/or legal action. 
I was informed by a XXXX rep. when I called on XX/XX/2018, that they no longer collect return checks in-house and that the company Certegy now handles all of their return checks. 
I called Certegy and found out they were the ones who debited my checking account WITHOUT ANY WRITTEN NOTIFICTION/COMMUNIATION to me as the consumer at all. 

I could not provide a control number for the Certegy rep. on XX/XX/2018, as I NEVER received any written communication notifying Certegy was now handling the debt collection for XXXX. 

I was NEVER GIVEN the chance to pay my debt or set up arrangements to pay my debt. 

*CERTEGY DEBITED MY CHECKING ACCOUNT WITHOUT ANY WRITTEN NOTIFICATION AND/OR CALL AND WITH MY PERMISSION. 

Yes, I owe a DEBT, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE ANY COLLECTION AGENCY RIGHT TO DEBIT MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT PERMISSION, UPON TAKING OVER FOR ANOTHER COMPANY.

Certegy 's actions caused my bank account to overdraft. 

This is not right and certainly not fair.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX we took out a HELOC from Bank of America for {$140000.00}. Our monthly payment was approx. {$320.00} because it was interest only for 10 years. When we took the loan out, no one from the bank told us it would be called after the 10 year period until we got a letter from the bank saying our payment would now be approx. {$1200.00} starting in XX/XX/XXXX. That payment was simply to much because our first mortgage was already {$2800.00} per month plus the other bills that are paid each month. 

We contacted Bank of America two times to get this loan modified. Once in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX. We sent the necessary paperwork requested by the bank two separate times. XXXX XXXX said that they received the paperwork and would hear back from them on their decision. The bank sent a lettter to us that listed 8 reasons why we did not qualify for a modification. The monthly payment would remain at the approx {$1200.00} p/month. So, we had no choice but to stop paying the HELOC in XX/XX/XXXX. 

A short while later, Bank of America totally ruined our credit and put a lein on our home. They were so hard to work with because they would switch dedicated customer service representatives so you really didnt know what they were doing through the whole process.

This is how Bank of America treats their customers of 25 years.

Many customers have had their HELOC extinguished and we want the same forgiveness of our loan as they received, our credit repaired and the lien on our home lifted. We are senior citizens now and can not meet the banks request to pay the entire loan.

While trying to work with the bank on the modification we did not qualify for, we talked the customer service representative and asked when we would get a decision for modification.

Thats when we were told if you get a large envelope in the mail, its probably good news.

If you get a regular envelope in the mail, its probably not good news. We then received the letter with the 8 reasons why we didnt qualify for a loan modification. 

Please help in this matter to get the loan forgiven and remove the lien from our property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ca. XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I was given a {$50.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, for Administrative Assistants day, Upon activation of the card in early XX/XX/XXXX, I was told the card was worth about {$22.00} because of administrative fees. The back of the card states that fees would begin with the XXXX month of card issuance. Since I had the card for less than a year, I feel the company has stolen {$31.00} from me. 

I used the card on XX/XX/XXXX, when the full value was {$19.00}. Additional fees had been deducted because I telephoned the company with questions.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
When I took them out, my loans were originally held and serviced by XXXX. My loans went to XXXX because I had expressed an interest in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program from the very beginning. I graduated in XX/XX/XXXXand began making payments in XX/XX/XXXX with my XXXX stipend. On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted paperwork to XXXX to verify that I was meeting the requirements for the PSLF program. XXXX verified the paperwork and walked me through the consolidation process, which I completed through XXXX. While I was made aware that the consolidation was a necessary component of the PSLF program, I was not made aware that any payments prior to consolidation would not be counted toward the 120 payments required for loan forgiveness. In XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted employment verification again and was informed by XXXX that XXXX was the new servicing agency for PSLF participants and on XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were transferred to XXXX. I started a new job in XX/XX/XXXX and when I submitted the employment verification to XXXX, I was informed that my loans were not consolidated and would have to be consolidated before any payments could be made that would count toward the PSLF program. 
My complaint is this : I have met all of the requirements to qualify for the PSLF program and have been making payments for seven years. I was given misleading information at several points throughout this process- I have consistently identified my interest in participating in the PSLF program. I have completed each requirement as it was described to me. Further, I have already consolidated my loans at least once. I believe that I am being treated unfairly and taken advantage of and further that XXXX and/or XXXX are committing fraudulent acts in order to disqualify my previous payments and lessen the total amount of the loan which will qualify for forgiveness.

I have multiple inquires to the same companies. The companies always send me letters however I stopped wasting my time because they will not remove them.
