Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
We 're in the process of buying a house in XXXX. We 've lived most of our lives in XXXX, but unfortunately had to make the decision to move because of health related situation. We started the application process on XXXX XXXX, we have submitted all of the official documents that were requested by the loan processor as well as the ones that were requested by the loan originator. Some of our documents are in XXXX, but the associate who was the originator of the loan assured us that that would n't be a problem because they do have XXXX speaking employees and that she used to work in XXXX XXXX for the bank were we had our bank account. By the beginning of the loan application we set XXXX XXXX as the closing date. The mortgage was being handled by an associate since the beginning of the application, and about a week an a half ago, it was changed without notice. This new associate, which was assigned to the loan process because he speaks XXXX, have made remarks like the loan process is taking longer because " there 's a language barrier '' to the transaction coordinator of the Realty company who 's representing us, when not only me but my wife as well speaks XXXX, he has questioned why we want to move to the United States, even though I 'm a XXXX citizen and a XXXX Veteran, and asking " why after XXXX years living in XXXX, XXXX you want to move to the United States '', in which from what I understand he should ask in a non specific way, and he has questioned even a transaction for {$9.00} for a purchase of Chinese food, just to make the process even more difficult to us. Documents are being submitted not only through Loan Mortgage application website, in which he 's in charge to verify and add notes when the customer uploads documents, or in case there 's a specific document needed, in which he has n't update any of the notes he wrote the first time he did, not really letting us know what is wrong with the documents we submitted, or is he want a different document instead, and through the mortgage originator. We have submitted our tax information, social security statements, my retirement pension information, my VA Certificate, and non of it has been enough. We already sent our stuff to XXXX through a moving company and shipped our car, and they told us we would not be able to close on the house today. We have the credit and the assets to cover the loan, and we have even chose and signed the terms and interests on the loan that we want, but we still waiting for them to finish the process. We might even loose the house we 've chose almost a month in a half ago. All of this has been more than tedious.

Complaint narrative:
I used a moving company that charged my card for a lot more than the agreed amount. I notified my bank, and disputed the partial amount of {$260.00} that I was overcharged for. I did not have paperwork, as I was told it would be emailed to me. It was not. They did not remove the amount, even though I did everything I was able. 
I would like to note that out of the thousands of transactions I have done with my card, I have only disputed XXXX transactions. XXXX. The other I had a nightmare with, and I had actual documentation! They do not listen or actually take in account what is told. I was also hit with NSF fees due to this money being pulled back out of my account. I was overcharged and I want my money back.

Complaint narrative:
My mother, XXXX XXXX XXXX, had accounts at Bank of America for many years. I was her Power of Attorney and handled all of her financial stuff because she had XXXX. My mom died in XX/XX/XXXX. Bank of America was aware of her death because they were advised of it by Social Security and I provided them with a copy of her death certificate. I wrapped up her final expenses in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and by the end of XX/XX/XXXX the account was closed out with a XXXX balance. In both XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Bank of America charged my dead mother 's account {$24.00} each month for service charges. This is outrageous inasmuch as they know my mother is dead. Please make them stop this. Thank you.

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: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX federal loans that Navient sold off to the XXXX out right over 1.5 years ago and they still report to creditors monthly that I have defaulted on these loans. I attempted to get this resolved several times with Navient but they just say that I need to pay more on my other private loans if I do not wanting them to report the information. I explain to the person on the phone that each loan is reported sperately and the reason I do not pay them for these loan is that they are no longer serviced by Navient but they inevitably transferring me around to a supervisor which says they are it is an automated system and I will need to fax them the information or they can not do anything about it. when I send the fax I receive a conformation page but they say it went to a different branch or the fax went to another floor, so they do n't have access to the information. Once the manager said they would call me back once they file was uploaded to my account but they never called back. So I assume it still has yet to be added to my account. I believe this inappropriate and in correct reporting by Navient is being done intentionally and has caused significant false financial and credit damage to me and my Father ( co-signer ). This past year I missed a lot of scholarship deadlines because they are falsely reporting that I am delinquent. Costing me thousands in possible financial Aid, grants and scholarships. In addition to the fact that they have illegally monthly report that I am not paying on these federal loans and that I am in Default, which has brought my credit report significantly down for the part year and a half. I have spoken numerous times With XXXX and they say there is nothing they can do about it except report accurately that I have a payment plan in place and I am activly paying on the loans. I have reached out to my school as well as XXXX of the XXXX credit reporting agency 's they can not do much either except tell me that it is illegal and advise me to keep working on it. I feel very frustrated with Navient and they 're illegal practices that no one seems to be holding them accountable for. It is targeting me at best and at worst having a incorrect reporting system in place, that they have known about, and destroying countless others financial future for personal gain at worst. Please help advise me about what else I can do. ( I do have documentation to support my claim )

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was assisted by my school XXXX that is now closed and turned out to be a scam school to get a loan through XXXX. Once I had graduated from the course which I was told credits would transfer and I would be able to use them, for a real college which was a HUGE lie it was time to pay back the loan. Due to hardships such as a lost job, car trouble or just other surviving expenses I routinely would return the call of XXXX\navent after them calling 50-100 times a day asking them how they could help me pay back this loan that I had taken out in XXXX that was for about XXXX. Each time I spoke with them they suggested putting my loan into deferment \ forbearance to caltch up with my late payments, I had several family members call also to help me get ahead of this now daughting XXXX dollar loan that I am trying to STill figure out which would be the easiest cheapest way to pay off this loan. Ive called XXXX\navient several time in the many years of dealing with this loan and was always told I did not qualify for my payments to be lowered as well as told I was not making payments on loans when I was in fact sending in payments that where only going to XXXX of the XXXX parts of the loan which caused me to fall even further behind on this loan. Yes it was my fault for letting the issue go but when you have to pay rent have a car payment and have to put gas in your car to get to work so you have money to put food on the table for yourself and kid I think its crazy to tell someone that they do n't qualify for lower payments for the past 11 years and only up until I called them in the last month and stated I had a child which I had in the past did they give me the option of lower payments which a longer time frame of having to pay off the loan .. How do these companies expect people to ever get a head, I filled for bankruptcy last XXXX just to try and start over but I feel like this loan is just the one thing holding me back from getting my finances together. I would really like to know why it took so long to offer me any sort of lower payment solution when there was in fact after doing research a law passed in XXXX stating that student loan companies had to make it easier to pay these loans back, also still instead of trying to help me pay this loan they offer putting it back in deferment like its the best deal in the world when in reality its just making me owe them more money ... Please help me take this burden off my shoulders that I have had since XXXX and tell me what 's the best pay to way off this loan without having to go broke in the mean time ...

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage has gone into foreclosure due to a separation/divorce. At the time my husband left I was only working part time and could not afford the payments. I have since obtained full time employment. He has walked away from the loan. He has no contact with the bank and does n't care if the house forecloses. I have tried everything I can to work something out with Bank of America. I call them weekly, applied for a modification, and even saved the past due amount to reinstate the loan. To my dismay, they pushed forward with a foreclosure and filed judgement against me in local court. The are requesting additional information from my husband, which he would not provide because he does not want the loan anymore. I offered to pay the bank to reinstate the loan. They sent me reinstatement figures. There were XXXX of dollars in fees attached in addition to the past due amount of the loan. I asked for a detailed listing of the fees. They would not provide them to me. I was told by my Bank of America Customer Relations Manager to contact the attorney handling the foreclosure to obtain a breakdown of their fees. When I contacted the attorney, XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX of XXXX, PA, The amount to reinstate was completely different and a lot less than the bank was telling me. The woman at the attorney office told me I could send payment to them directly and the loan would be reinstated. I contacted the bank again, they denied this was an option. The told me to forward payment to them. I asked the amount needed to reinstate. I was given another estimate. Completely different again. It had gone down from the first quote, but was still higher than the attorney. They told me this was due to " estimated '' charges. I asked for a breakdown of these charges. They can not provide that to me. They told me to pay the amount by XXXX XXXX or they are filing for a Sheriff Sale date in my county. I have told them again and again I do not have the {$13000.00} or the {$11000.00} needed to reinstate that they want. I can pay the past due amount, the {$9700.00} for my back payments and have asked to make other arrangements to pay back the " fees ''. They refuse to accept the payment. They want the full amount they keep telling me. I asked why foreclosure went through when I was trying to get a modification. They could not answer me. Bank of America was requesting additional documents they told me. Every time I call I get a different person with a different answer. Bank of America is telling me it 's the lender, FHA, that 's requiring the full amount to reinstate, yet the amount changes every time I call. It 's like they want to foreclose on the loan and are not willing to help me save it.

Issue: Late fee — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America website does n't allow customers to setup an automatic pay for a minimum payment : customers have to guess an amount. If the guess becomes wrong at some point, the account goes into a past due status and a late fee of {$37.00} is charged. Bank of America website does n't allow customers to setup an alert of past due amounts, so that they keep charging the {$37.00}, eventually report to credit bureaux, when customers finally realize the problem. Customers, like me, who has setup automatic pay, are notified that payments were made ( but not that they were insufficient ) have not reason to suspect that there is a problem. My guess is that millions of americans are falling into this trap, because other banks, such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, to name just a few, have a website that enables customers to select " pay minimum payment, '' so if that if minimum payment goes up, the account does n't become past due and the very high late fees are not collected. Customers in the XXXX XXXX expect a minimum level of customer service provided online, and Bank of America is not providing that. 

Having an online presence that is misleading to customers ( i.e., automatic pay option, but not for minimum payment, and alerts available, but not for past due amounts or payments below the minimum amount ), could have been designed by Bank of America to increase their revenue stream. I would like an investigation of the amounts collected by Bank of America from all customers that experienced the same problem described here.

Complaint narrative:
My merchant services WAS BANK OF AMERICA, and there was a donation charged ( via the website ) of {$9000.00} awarded to the company XXXX XXXX for our future on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and fees have been paid on this charge. However, the {$9000.00} never went into the company account. Due to a merchant service rep error, i did n't live in the state i was running the business and this was my first transaction with them ... security stepped in. I was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX that the funds will be returned. I requested a letter ( til date, i still have not received ) on this action. XXXX XXXX went on vacation and XXXX XXXX stepped in and also stated the information of the return will be mailed to me. ( still nothing ). on XX/XX/XXXX, customer was told to dispute the charges because our company did not have the funds. I have now been forwarded to XXXX ( XXXX. ) I have left over XXXX messages on each voicemail and there has been no return calls. I think BOA thought no one would miss the {$9000.00} because no one said anything about it for almost a month. I no longer have any business with boa to even get this money and they have not refunded the customer. There is no feedback to any calls or emails and the merchant that set the account up says he has nothing to do with it any longer. So I am filing a complaint at this point for fraud.

Complaint narrative:
Navient sends payment notification after payment is made, but they do not tell you if there was an error in processing, " payment reversal ''. This can go unnoticed for some time before it is noted on their website, and even then, the user 's account information shows " payment received ''. You have to look into " payment history '' to see " payment reversal ''. This allows them to collect on late fees when I should be notified, just like any other payment system, immediately.

Company: Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage is serviced by XXXX. Our mortgage originated in XX/XX/XXXX with Fairway Mortgage. This complaint is concerning Fairway. During the service transfer process, Fairway provided XXXX with an incorrect and outdated HUD Disclosure, causing our monthly loan payment to go up {$200.00}. Thankfully, I am a consumer protection attorney and spent the last year working specifically with mortgages, so I was able to ascertain that the issue was with Fairway and the incorrect HUD Disclosure. I was able to provide XXXX with our correct HUD Disclosure and, as of this moment, they say that they will handle it. Fairway, however, failed to provide XXXX with a complete file on our loan for the service transfer audit, as they are required to do in compliance with CFPB rules. I believe that I have taken care of the complaint and the CFPB does not need to take any action at this time, but I would like the CFPB to be aware of Fairway 's negligence in providing proper and complete documentation during a service transfer. Thank you.
