Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my business was a victim of fraud at the hands of BofA. An unknown person contacted BofA and requested a change to my account. What BofA agreed to do, without my consent, was transfer all receipts from my merchant account to an unknown XXXX XXXX account. At the same time, the fraudster also gained access to my merchant ID and established an offsite terminal. Then, with XXXX stolen cc, they processed charges in excess of XXXX, which appeared to originate from my office, yet went directly into the XXXX XXXX account. I believe that this event was an inside job because my security practices are consistent ; filing cabinets are always locked, sensitive information is always shredded and I never share banking details. Further, there was no break-in at my office. After considerable frustration and many calls to BofA, they eventually restored my losses, in excess of XXXX US. Jump forward to XX/XX/XXXX and I receive a Chargeback letter from Merchant Services for {$6700.00} and the disputed transaction occurred on XX/XX/XXXX ( at the same time when the fraud began ). Unfortunately, the unidentified XXXX consumer reported this as an unknown charge, and of course, I do not know who the person is, where they live, nor do I have any accounting record or receipt of the {$6700.00}. Basically, BofA 's security and forensics failed and they are attempting to extort their losses from my business. The chargeback notice was received on the same day as the deadline to respond, which is also unethical and creates needless anxiety and frustration for me, a long-term customer of this bank. To add insult to injury, I have spent three days trying to reach the Fraud managers who helped me with this claim a year ago. They have not returned XXXX of my calls. I have left messages with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and her supervisor, XXXX ( XXXX ). I 've also attempted to get resolution with my local branch and many XXXX numbers, being kicked like a can down the road 8 times with various people and departments. All claiming that I need to talk with someone else. I still do n't know who or what department to contact. I am not responsible for BofA 's failure to secure my business account. They hold the " keys '' and allegedly let a stranger fool them with my account. Had they simply called me or sent me an alert, like they do when I fill up for gasoline at a non-typical place, this could have been better controlled.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2016 at XXXX I spoke with a representative at Bank of America regarding a charge on my savings account she then informed me that XX/XX/2016 I was given a courtesy XXXX month {$5.00} fee waiver as my account had change that I will be charged a monthly service fee of {$5.00} if I did not transfer {$25.00} every month or maintain a minimum balance of {$300.00} in my account. XX/XX/2016 I did contact Bank of America to inquire of a charge on my savings account I was informed that if I conducted more than XXXX transactions within a billing statement I would be charged a service fee. I was not told at that time that my account will be getting a six-month waiver fee as my account would start being charged {$5.00} a monthly service fee if I did not again transfer {$25.00} to my savings account from my checking or maintain a minimum balance of {$300.00} in my checking account. On XX/XX/2016 I went ahead and also closed my savings account I also stated that I will be going into the bank the following day to close out my checking account as well. I have been a long-standing member of with Bank of America and for a company to change its policies on its consumers without notifying them is wrong and also unprofessional. A savings account should not have fees or conditions as its name is stated clearly as what it 's for savings, not being charged a monthly fee because I am not transferring a certain amount of dollar or maintaining a certain amount of dollar in that account.

I was able to see that the {$500.00} was posted to the account on XXXX XXXX, 2016 but was " processing. '' BOFA decided to post the ACH debits and did not use the {$500.00} transfer deposit to apply to the ACH debits that were also " processing '' during the same time period.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Navient has on multiple occasions put a student signature loan in deferment without my authorization. This resulted in only interest being applied to my account until I realized what they did. This now raises the monthly rate of the loan, and extends the time to repay. Somewhere after the XX/XX/XXXX payment Navient put the loan in deferment for two months until I called and asked them to not change my loans without my authorization. This added about XXXX dollars of interest to my account and added to the principal. This same issue also happened for a month after my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I am very disappointed with the tactics by Navient to change a loan that would cause more money out of the student 's pocket and more in their pocket. What they did was wrong, and it happened multiple times.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, FL lied to my face about having to take out private student loans to finish my degree. Private loans were never mentioned one single time by anyone at this school, they would just tell me I needed to fill out my loan paperwork otherwise I would not be able to continue my education and would be kicked out. Only after I graduated and started repayment did I find out that about XXXX % of the loans taken out in my name were high interest private loans. If I would have known this from the very beginning I most likely would never have signed the enrollment agreement and attended this school. They committed predatory lending on a huge scale and have scammed thousands and thousands of young people who were straight out of high school and did n't know any better. They have ruined many kids financial futures. I am XXXX years old now and still struggling with the mistake of attending XXXX XXXX when I was XXXX. XXXX XXXX is being sued by over a dozen attorney 's general for their shady practices, the CFPB for predatory lending and the SEC for fraud. If you look up XXXX XXXX 's reputation on XXXX you will see that they are a complete scam and many people 's lives are ruined because of them. My campus in XXXX XXXX, FL has been consolidated with the campus in XXXX due to their plummeting stock price and decreased enrollments quarter after quarter. This company is sinking and their predatory lending and illegal practices is what caused it. These fraudulent and predatory loans are backed by USA Funds , Inc. I have used {$6500.00} of inheritance money from my dead grandmother to pay these loans down and it is the only reason why I 've paid down the principal balance to any reasonable level. These loans are complete fraud.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in follow-up to CFPB Complaint Number XXXX. 

The response from Bank of America does not address the original complaint. While Bank of America can release the joint account information ( accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX ) to the other co-owner of these accounts, I did not give Bank of America permission to release my personal account information ( accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX ) to any third party and Bank of America has not proved otherwise. 

My disputes with Bank of America 's response are as follows : 1 ) Bank of America provided a signature card for the account ending in XXXX showing joint ownership for this account. This fact is not in dispute. Bank of America did not show signature cards for the accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX which were personal accounts opened in XX/XX/XXXX and closed in XX/XX/XXXX. 
2 ) Bank of America provided a Deposit Agreement and Disclosures document, effective XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The accounts and bank statements in question were all opened at the same time in XX/XX/XXXX. The XX/XX/XXXX rules were not in effect in XX/XX/XXXX. 
3 ) The consolidated statements that list all XXXX accounts was created by me for my personal convenience, doing so did not Bank of America permission to release private account information to any third party. The consolidated statements were addressed and mailed to me monthly XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. These consolidated statements were never shared with the co-owner of the joint account because that person was not entitled and still is n't entitled to my personal account information, doing so eight years later is a breach of identify theft. These consolidated statements unless redacted of all personal financial information can not be now sent to a third party, eight years later without my consent.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
After using the service XXXX for a few years now to send money to my son in prison and having it charged to my credit card as a regular transaction, no transaction fee, regular interest rate, the Bank of America has recently ( XXXX, 2015? ) reclassifed XXXX as a Money Transfer service so they are now showing it as a Cash Advance item, which is subject to an additional {$10.00} fee AND the much inflated interest rate for Cash Advances. First, no notice was sent that this was happening. Second, it feels predatory on a population of consumers who tend to be the least equipped to take on such additional financial burden - it is the family of the prisoners who pay this fee, not the prisoners who are already being punished. Just to illustrate : My {$100.00} transaction was charged {$6.00} fee by XXXX ( which I was aware of ) then the credit card company charged an additional {$10.00}, then it is treated as a Cash Advance with 25 % interest on the TOTAL amount of {$100.00}, so more than {$25.00} in interest. I 'm not great at math, but I believe that puts the transaction at about XXXX cents on the dollar. The credit card companies do have a choice in how the classify these transactions. Please look into this matter. It is wrong on so many levels. Thank you.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
About two and a half years ago I cancelled a Visa card that I got through XXXX, the online marketer of out door clothing and equipment. I notified the Bank ofAmerica that I was closing my account. I received my balance and payed offthe balance. The account was closed. The next day they received an invoicefrom XXXX, my insurance carrier for sixty years. It was for my monthly insurance payment. They opened my account and payed XXXX something over {$100.00}. WhenI received a monthly bill from Visa/B OF A for the amount XXXX had requested. 
There were several phone conversations between the XXXX parties. I finally paidthe XXXX claim to Visa. By the time all was done, it had passed the Visa paymentperiod and they charged me {$35.00} for a late fee. I refused to pay because myaccount was closed and opened again to accommodate XXXX, so said B of A. 
Even though the account was closed, they kept charging me {$35.00} per month inlate fees for not paying their original late fee. At about the {$200.00} level I talked toa supervisor who told me the bank would continue to charge me monthly, until I reached the level where they would charge off my account and sell my account to a credit chaser. She said they did this to charge off the very high profits they made in the commercial part of the bank. As stated, at $ XXXX sold my account. I received a call from a very nice lady trying to work out a payment schedule. She said her company had purchased my account. I told herthat there were no products or service, that it was all fraud by B of A to reducetheir income tax bill. I could hear her writing in the background, she was mad as hell. Apparently, B of A had taken the account back because they have sentdefault/ no pay notices to all three credit agencies for 30 months. My credit number has gone from XXXX to about XXXX now. It has been as low as XXXX! 

ALL OF THIS PAIN FOR ME WAS FOR B OF A TO COMMIT A FRAUD AGAINST THE IRS. THE SUPERVISOR TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PRACTICE. I AM XXXXYEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CREDIT PROBLEM IN MY LIFE. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, The credit agency provided me no documentation of their investigation. 
If you get a routine credit report, all the bad marks will show. The last time Isaw it was about six months ago. I was paying XXXX to monthly send me myrating number and delinquent account report.
