Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: POPULAR BANK
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX we, XXXX Title Agency notified Popular Mortgage XXXX XXXX of an unreleased lien affecting the title of a home that is for sale. Unfortunately the seller did not get us the information until XX/XX/XXXX. Because the loan dept was already closed that day and inquiry was put in but not " accepted '' until XX/XX/XXXX. We were told on XX/XX/XXXX that we would have a response within 5 business days. I called on XX/XX/XXXX, believing that to be the third business day, but was told that they were n't counting Friday the XXXX. I was told at that time we should have something between 3 to 5 business days. I called back on the XXXX whcih would be the fourth business day based on their calculations. I was again told that nothing has been done, but XXXX whom I was speaking to, was nice enough to put an email out to the specialist assigned to the inquiry number. During this call, I was disconnected, called back and was able to speak directly to XXXX again. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have called 8 times. I have been hung up on 7 of those 8 times. I have only been lucky enough to get someone on the phone 3 of those times. The first time, I was n't even able to get the girl 's name before she hung up on me. Then I was hung up on by XXXX ( I am not sure of that spelling ) and now I am currently talking to XXXX XXXX also not sure of spelling ). I have asked XXXX to put me through to a supervisor several times and she has refused. She has also refused to give me her supervisors name. She is however telling me that the inquiry was not put in correctly and that I have to start all over and that it takes a minimum of 10 business days to get a response. This is contradictory to everything both my assistant and I have been told for the past week every time we have called. 
The owner of this home closed their line 7 years ago and even has the line of credit closure authorization from XX/XX/XXXX, which I have a copy of. MERS shows this loan as inactive. Yet Popular has never bothered to record a lien release and is now causing XXXX monetary and mental anguish both for the seller 's ( their customer ) and the new buyers who have a moving van set and have no place to live as of Sunday the XXXX. This is to close escrow today! Yet instead of helping me fix THEIR mistake I just keep getting hung up on. XXXX was instructed not to put me on hold, but she just did, which means I will likely be hung up on again, for the XXXX time.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 a final payment for the credit card debt was processed by Bank of America for {$5200.00} along with a handwritten note on the reimittance to close the account BEFORE the annual fee would be charged in the following month. The instructions were NOT followed and the account was charge for an {$75.00}. I have tried to call them to ask them to read the note, refund the {$75.00} and close the account. they have refused. I believe this is clear example of the misleading practices by bank of America in an attempt to generate more income off of consumer eventhough they have been instructed to close the account before the fee. This appears to be very similar to the technique of delaying payments in order to generate fees.

Complaint narrative:
Hello. My name is XXXX XXXX. My email is XXXXXXXXXXXX I was almost relieved to see the Lawsuit agaisnt Navient, as i have a loan with them. For the last year they have been lying to me about co-signer release, stating that it was a possibility if I went through a differrnt payment plan, which I held up my end and paid on time only to find out they lied to me and my co-signer ' can not ' be released. I also still have in my position a copy of the refund check of {$520.00} that Navient LOST and I had to get the Better Business burough involved to locate the money they lost. I have been consistently mislead and lied to by this company.. they deny me income based repayment and are the absolute worst customer servicer I have had, which is saying a lot because I was switched over, not by choice, from XXXX XXXX . I think loans should be forgiven when the Loan Provider Navient is abusing and misleading their borrowers for personal monetary gain.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Responding to an email ad from Bank of America, we applied on XXXX XXXX, XXXX for a refinance for my rental home, owned since we built it 7 years ago. We complied with every request for documents, even having BofA contact our insurance agent and CPA. Dozens of emails, letters & phone calls later, & repeated delays, extensions & promises from them have gone on, usually with requests for more & more documents, not even pertaining to the property, but to our home & the other XXXX rental units we have, all dutifully submitted. BofA is currently the mortgage holder on one of those other homes, so a re-fi from them should have been a simple process ; we have excellent credit ratings and are stable, credit-worthy people, in the long-term rental business for many years, living in the same area our entire lives. Finally, on XXXX XXXX, they asked for an " update '' on the appraisal that was done by their appraiser in XX/XX/XXXX, an updated credit report, more copies of bank statements & another signed borrower 's certification form. The week before, I was asked what title company we 'd like to sign at, since the closing was finally at hand -- but no, yet more forms were now requested, instead! My phone service was down for a few days ( repaired yesterday ), so I could n't get these documents sent immediately electronically, but since they refused to give more than 2 days to get them to their Oregon office, they denied any further extension & canceled the loan application. We have been greatly abused in this process, a process even their loan officers claim was unusually, inexplicably & regretfully long. I would never recommend doing business with BofA, even though I had been a customer since XX/XX/XXXX! This was the worst, most demanding & most disappointing transaction I 've ever been through, & I 've bought, sold & refinanced many mortgages over the years. In view of all the time & effort this has cost us, only to lose this game of attrition, I feel our application fee should be refunded. I don 'd mind paying for the appraisal ( despite BofA thinking it needed an " update '' after only 3 months! ), but our time & effort would have definitely been better spent at any institution around here, which we 'll most assuredly do in the future.

Complaint narrative:
We attempted last year to get a modification and after months of stalling on Bank of America 's part they offered us a modification which was higher than our current payment. We declined after which we received numerous paperwork stating what our new payment was to be including an escrow account, which we do not want as we have never had one and handle the taxes and insurance on our own and have never had an issue. They have now paid our insurance and taxes and not credited our account with any payments towards principal and interest for the past three months. They have also reported us to the XXXX credit bureaus as having late payments even though our mortgage actually was discharged thru Chapter XXXX bankruptcy in 2008. Now they say we can not get rid of the escrow because we are " late '' on payments. Also we can not go outside of Bank of America due to the late payments appearing on our credit reports.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX checks that I had already deposited through my Bank of America mobile app XX/XX/2016 were stolen out of my vehicle. I had failed to write " void '' across the front of the checks. I did not know this was necessary as the app told me to write " for deposit only '' below my signature, which I did. I thought this was sufficient to prevent the checks from being nefariously used by someone else. Originally, the checks that I deposited XX/XX/2016 were cleared and I spent the money on bills and daily life needs. XX/XX/XXXX, the thieves used the same XXXX checks to deposit in an ATM. Bank of America allowed this fraudulent transaction to occur and immediately took the funds out of my checking account to cover these duplicated checks. They never asked me if I had mistakenly tried to use the checks again, which I would have told them " No! '' and explained that thieves and defrauders were at work here. My account was overdrawn by almost {$2000.00} because of this. I feel as though I have not only been victimized by thieves and defrauders but also by the the financial institution that my wife and I have used for over 12 years. Bank of America are accomplices to theft and check fraud by ( 1 ) allowing the fraudulent transaction to go through and ( 2 ) by taking the money out of my account to cover their mistake. They also took {$800.00} out of my wife 's checking account that was not directly tied to our joint account, where the duplicated checks were said to have occurred initially, after the account was made negative by the fraudulently deposited checks. This has caused my whole family untold amounts of XXXX. XXXX We filed a police report for check fraud but I just received notice that the case has been closed due to lack of surveillance video at the scene of the XXXX, fraudulent, transaction. Bank of America told us that we had to contact my employers bank, ( XXXX ) in order to see when the checks went through the 2nd time at XXXX. They knew that these checks had already been payed by XXXX after I deposited them XX/XX/XXXX. There was no reason for XXXX to pay these a XXXX time. My boss, the writer of the checks, went repeatedly to XXXX in order to ascertain this. XXXX had no record of the checks coming into their system a 2nd time. Bank of America paid the thieves without sending the information to XXXX the 2nd time. The fraud department of Bank of America has told us there is nothing they can do to help us. They are still incurring monthly charges to the accounts because we ca n't close the account with a negative balance.

Complaint narrative:
My daughter is being treated for XXXX. XXXX bills were sent to collection that I was never notified about. Her insurance companies were billed. In XXXX instance, the hospital billed the insurance company incorrectly. They have since corrected the error and I recieved notice that the item would be removed from my credit but it has n't yet. In the other instance, the bill was in dispute and has since been paid. It should not have been reported as a collection. I learned about these collections when applying for a mortgage, my over XXXX credit score had gone down XXXX points because of XXXX collections that should have never been reported. It was a nightmare to get the creditor and the insurance agencies to resolve this. Talk about being kicked when your down, dealing with a seriously ill child and having your credit negatively impacted.

I have paid what was told to me as an outstanding balance unpaid in addition to make payments arrangements which are currently being taken out of my bank account only to have Navient continue to harass me and my references. I am also still in school and did n't understand why I was already having to pay them back. I did n't get an explanation on as to why, I just kept getting threatening letters and non stop phone calls. It is my understanding that if I 'm still in school I can have my payments deferred, I found that out by looking into my rights. I still have yet to have someone explain it to me and continue to get threating letters saying if I default on my loans they will take all my tax return and I owe the full amount. I would like someone to assist me who can make some sense of this for me. I feel I get no where when I speak to a Navient representative.
