Consumer complaint received 2015-03-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
In late XX/XX/XXXX or early XX/XX/XXXX I received several voice messages and emails from Bank of America regarding my XXXX credit card. I immediately contacted the bank and was informed that fraudulent charges were detected on my XXXX credit card and the bank closed the account to protect me from further fraudulent activity. I was alarmed because I have had this account for 5 years and I have not utilized the card in more than 4 years and it had a XXXX balance with a {$10000.00} limit. The bank assured me that all charges would be reversed and any fees associated with this issue would be reversed as well. I was also told that the charges arose from a cafe in XXXX where someone was purchasing coffee and snacks. I advised the bank that I have never been to XXXX to assure them that I had no part in this fraudulent activity. The bank representative at Bank of America said that I would receive a new card in the mail in 7-10 days. When that card did not arrive I re-contacted Bank of America and was told the card should have been received so they would issue a XXXX replacement card via priority mail ( signature required ). I did receive the XXXX replacement card. My problem with this entire process is now that I have the new card the associated fees for the replacement and the fraudulent charges have not been reversed completely as Bank of America promised. Now there is a 30 day late payment on my credit report for the fraudulent charges and fees totaling {$31.00}. This late payment has affected my qualification and approval for a mortgage that I was in the process of obtaining. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Bank of America again to discuss this matter and they apologized for the inconvenience and assured me that the fees are being reversed and the 30 day late on my credit report would be reversed in 30-60 days. This is not acceptable. I do not want to have this negative notation impede my mortgage loan processing or impact my mortgage interest rate negatively.

I currently owe {$240000.00} in all my student loan. I wish i would have never went to school. The promises and dreams they set forth in the finance office of the school seems realistic. So, at the time I did not have a doubt i would not be able to pay this off after college. Making only {$XXXX} and owing a house ( {$240000.00} ) is putting a strain on my health, as i stress over this daily and the constant calls do not help. No matter what amount i pay monthly i will never pay this off and will die still owing an education I will never be able to use. I am asking please help me forgive the interest on all my loans and have my payment be applied to my principle balance and lower a payment i can afford. I am very desperate they other thing for me to be homeless and without food, to pay the loans ( which the balances never will go down ). PLEASE HELP! ASAP! Thank you in advance.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to get a loan modification from BOA for 4 years. I sent documentation over and over and they kept asking for the same papers over and over. In 2013 BOA informed me that it made a claim for payment on the FHA mortgage insurance. My mortgage was sold to FHA, then to a different company. I was instructed to continue negotiating with the new servicing company. Well ... BOA still convinced a judge to send my property to the auction bloc. Isn ' t that fraud? trying to steal someone 's house after claiming insurance money from FHA?

Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Delinquent account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I 've had this Bank of America credit card since XXXX. This is the ONLY card that my wife and I have that does not have the ability to setup payments online to pay the minimum payment each month automatically. Instead, it requires that you declare a payment amount to make automatically each month. Since we did n't use this card often, years ago, I set it to pay {$50.00} per month believing that it would easily cover the minimum payment and then some if we did decide to use it. For literally years that assumption held true. This XXXX, purchases were made that resulted in the minimum payment being greater than the {$50.00} that was setup previously. As soon as I realized the problem, unfortunately in XXXX of XXXX, I payed the overdue balance, and contacted Bank of America to attempt to have my credit report corrected based on several limitations on their part : First, we NEVER received supplementary contact to indicate a problem. It is true that I did sign up of paperless statements in XXXX, and I routinely do not check those statements because I rarely use the card. If there were a problem, I had expected Bank of America, like ALL of my other creditors do, to attempt to contact me to indicate such. NO phone calls or letters were received to indicate a problem with the account. 
Second, this is the ONLY account that we have that does not have an option to pay the minimum payment each month on their online bill payment system. Coupled with a lack of communication from the Bank, it would seem to me that this situation was engineered to make money for the Bank through the generation of late payment and over limit fees. 
I submitted requests to Bank of America several weeks ago to make the requested adjustments to my credit report given my exemplary history with them spanning a decade, the above described limitations, and my immediate payment to bring the account current on the day that the problem was finally brought to my attention. When I called today to follow up on the issue, I was notified that my request was denied. I asked them to reconsider my request, and to escalate my request beyond the department that had made the decision to deny my request and was told that was not possible. At that point I cancelled my account with Bank of America and notified them at the same time that I would be making a formal complaint with the appropriate consumer protection agencies.

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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am a customer of Navient. Approximately 3 months ago, my student loan payment was lowered approximately {$15.00} without my consent. While lower payments would normally not be something to complain about, I just found a letter from Navient informing me that this would result in " now hav [ ing ] more time to replay the same loan balance resulting in lower monthly installments but the overall cost of your loan will increase. '' I then attempted to go on Navient 's website and adjust the monthly payment myself but it is literally not possible to do that. The only way to change the payment is to call. I then called and the representative tried to give me a different payment that was " automatically calculated. '' I then told her exactly what I wanted my payment to be and she said she would have to speak to someone else because you ca n't just pick the number you want. After some back and forth ( and complaining ) I was able to get the payment I wanted. 

This seems to be a not so subtle way for Navient to increase the interest they collect on loans. Again, I did not ask for my payment to be lowered and I have no negative activity on my account that would change my status with them. I am not sure if this is common practice but it seems, if not illegal, extremely disingenuous. I do understand they sent a letter informing me of the change, but I also think we can agree that most are not likely to read the letter and/or note the implication.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Need information about my balance/terms
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I want to make CFPB aware of another issue with Navient that has troubled me - they make it extremely difficult to find out how your payment is allocated - interest and principle - declining balance. Every other lender I know shows your prior statement balance, your payments made, how much went to interest and to principle, and then ending balance. In this way you can see if, for example, your minimum payment of {$750.00} on your student loan payment, only pays down your principle by {$79.00} dollars with the rest going to interest. My loans are consolidated with them, and I have previously raised this issue with customer service, and they had no answer other than the website was being redesigned ( this was over a year ago ). I have figured out how to do this manually, but the average student loan payer will not go to the trouble. You have to go to their " archived '' old site, then to your emails ( all my communication is electronic ), then gather your monthly statements, then write down your prior balance, payments, interest and principle, and manually review the declining balance. This is how I figured out that on many months only a tiny % of my large payment was going to principle. This to me is a very deceitful way to do business - by making it so difficult to understand the declining balance, and thus how much you are actually paying off without manually tracking it, they are encouraging everyone to remain in huge debt as long as possible. They should be made to put this on the main page of the borrowers ' loan balances - they already have the payment amounts, it would take very little programming to add this. It seems as if Navient is purposely omitting this information to keep borrowers on the hook for as long as possible since if people knew they only had a small amount going to principle they would be motivated to pay their loans off sooner.
