Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hi, on Tuesday XXXX I looked at my bank account that I have with my wife and it showed that they had a legal hold on my checking and savings account for XXXX dollars. I called the bank and the bank told me that XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX XXXX XXXX had a legal judgement in the state of Virginia and it had requested funds. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filled this thru a court in VA and i do not live in the state of VA I live in Florida. I tried calling XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and letting them know that it was illegal to what they did and that i had not receivied any documentation from them and the paralegal hung up the phone on me twice and said he did not care. I then reached out to legal department of bank of America and they said the same thing that i had to contact XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX XXXX XXXX and that they didn't care what state I lived in. At that moment I told them this is the same reason why Bank of America had to pay XXXX XXXX back in XXXX of XXXX for illegal garnishments and the guy laughed and hung up the phone. 

XXXX  D.C. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) finalized an enforcement action against Bank of America for processing illegal, out-of-state garnishment orders against its customers bank accounts. Bank of America unlawfully froze customer accounts, charged garnishment fees, garnished funds, and sent payments to creditors based on out-of-state garnishment court orders that should have been processed under the laws and protections of the states where the consumers lived. Bank of America also violated the law by inserting unfair and unenforceable language into customer contracts that purported to limit customers rights to challenge garnishments. The CFPBs order requires Bank of America to refund or cancel imposed fees from unlawful garnishments, review and reform its system for processing garnishments, and pay a {$10.00} XXXX civil penalty. 

Bank of America imposed unlawful garnishment fees and injured its customers by inserting unenforceable clauses into contracts in an attempt to strip legal rights from families, said XXXX XXXX. The CFPB is ordering Bank of America to fix its systems, clean up its contracts, and make its victims whole.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern I write to you this letter in hope to receive mercy with the situation we are in. I've been a XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX. We specialize in XXXX XXXX and XXXX of XXXX XXXX. We are a XXXX XXXX XXXX and we take responsibility and pride for the work we do and how we treat our clients and business partners. 
In the year XXXX we made a wrong move by using our home equity funds to attempt to save the XXXX XXXX that was suffering from lack of finance, directly associated with the economic crash. 
We were trying to stay afloat and borrowed for business expenses associated with investments that eventually were all lost due to the market crash and recession that followed. 
Unfortunately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to short sales and in regards to the equity line that was used for them, I was qualified for Obamas XXXX XXXX and as a result my equity loan with XXXX XXXX Bank account # XXXX was charged off in XXXX of XXXX The times were extremely hard, everything we worked so hard for was gone. We were struggling to XXXX day by day, devastated to be left with very little workflow and lots of bills. At that time my sister-in-laws family with their three children moved in with us for nearly three years, we were supporting each other in the devastating times for XXXX XXXX 
I was under the impression that the second loan was dismissed along with short sales and other losses we suffered. I was advised by the firm that was helping us through the crisis, that the government had a rescue plan for the XXXX crash, and we qualified for the benefit. 
For the next 13 years I believed in good faith that it was exactly that, I didnt see the loan any longer in my credit report, believing that in fact it was charged off. 
Recently, I received communication from XXXX, XXXX XXXX with an account # XXXX, After reaching out for advice to my financial consultant and XXXX associate, I came to a realization that the loan hasnt vanished, but instead, it has doubled in the amount and that now Im at risk to XXXX my home. Im investigating to see what happened and why the loan we were told got dismissed in reality is still pending. As I am searching for answers and trying to retain my home, XXXX is not accepting my offer to remove the lien of my property. Instead, they are asking for unmanageable amount as down payment and repayment of the loan that was charged of by government assistance in XXXX. 
As of today, the mortgage payment I have is already above 50 % of our family income and in good faith I will not be able to pull another loan. 
Im investigating the cause of failed loan forbearance, and unfortunately not getting anywhere. Please help me to figure out the best option to XXXX my home.

Im considering filing for bankruptcy at this time.

Thank you.
