Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received an email from Bank of America alerting me that my checking account had less than {$25.00} available. I checked my account and found that three transactions occurred that day that reduced my bank account to approximately {$3.00}. One transaction was for {$60.00} through an ATM in XXXX XXXX XXXX IL. The other two transactions occurred at XXXX XXXX IL Bank of America where a teller gave an unknown individual {$2000.00} and {$200.00}. I immediately called Bank of America to report the fraud. The debit card department took care of my {$60.00} that day. The check department said they could not do anything until the $ XXXX and {$200.00} transactions were posted to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of America first thing in the morning and reported the fraudulent activity for the $ XXXX transactions and was told I would be receiving correspondence for this claim ( claim number XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX I called Bank of America to follow up on the claim and was told that my case had not been looked at yet. I tried to explain that all the money I owned had been given to a stranger who walked into a Bank of America in XXXX XXXX IL and I won't be able to pay my house mortgage or apartment rent. Both are going to negatively impact my credit rating, I will be evicted from my apartment and unable to afford food for my family. I was told they were not authorized to credit my account because they haven't even looked at it yet.

I received a letter back on XX/XX/2018 stating the mentioned account has been resolved for less than the full balance, upon return of payment, this letter will no longer be validation. 
Please Note : resolving the referencd account with XXXX XXXX for less than the current balance owed will not make you eligible for reactivation of service. Only the payment of the balance in full will be eligible for reactivation service.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
We have a home equity loan with Bank of America. We have to carry flood insurance on the home-which we do-now they want us to pay for flood insurance on out buildings-a garage and a 3 sided barn because they think we could live in them. When we last check with FEMA they don't cover out buildings. We tried to resolve this and had our insurance agent send the information that they asked for. They ( BOA ) decided we needed flood insurance on a three sided barn still. They also stated that the insurance agent didn't send the info on her letterhead. As far as we are concerned this is harassement. We have never missed a payment and have great credit. BOA seems to want more money any way that they can get it. Our land value along with no buildings is worth more than the loan. " XXXX also stated that the garage was now not having to have insurance but got the insurance papers in the mail the dame day we got a letter that they were reviewing this issue.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom This May Concern : Upon reviewing my Transunion account it looks as if I have a LOT of inquires that DO NOT belong to me on my account. I even have some that show up at multiple dates. I mailed a Multiple Inquiry removal letter on XX/XX/XXXX by certified mail in order to dispute information, in regards to 15 inquires, that is being reported on my credit report. They received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX and they completed the request on XX/XX/XXXX. I mention to them that I have never stayed in the state of Texas and most of the inquires is in that state. The request that I submitted included 28 inquires that were not factual and I received the same response for All inquiries, which was Inquires are a factual record of file access. If you believe this was unauthorized, please contact the creditor. I would like for the below inquires to be deleted.

The fact that I received a response 4 days after the receipt of my certified letter, one can assume that there was no investigation into the matter. I plan to purchase a home this year and having this many hard inquires on my credit report display as a sign of financial trouble, when this is not the case. I am submitting this complaint due to the lack of investigation into the original dispute for hard inquires that does not belong to me, I did not sign for anything. This is unfair practices by a credit reporting agency with no concern for the credit worthiness of a consumer. Thanks

Company: AES/PHEAA

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to get my loan payments to be properly attributed as Public Service Loan Forgiveness qualifying payments since XX/XX/XXXX. So far XXXX  has been able to correct most of my account and correctly note the payments as PSLF qualifying payments ( although that took 17 months ). However, I haven't been able to get an effective response from XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX, when I requested them to correct some uncredited PSLF qualifying payments and send me a report with my payment history, indicating whether or not each payment is a PSLF qualifying payment and if not then why. After following up with XXXX at least a dozen times for them to produce this report, I was told today to wait another 30 days, which would bring me to just shy of 2 years from when I first requested further information on why my payments weren't qualifying.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
We asked about some generic options regarding removing the private mortgage insurance from our current home loan. Our inquiry was to the Loan Officer, XXXX XXXX with Wells Fargo, he originally handled our purchase ( as well as works for the company still servicing our loan ) and we thought he would have access to know at what loan to value we would need to be at for this to occur based on our current/ original terms. We were inquiring specifically about getting an appraisal on the home to establish value and remove the monthly PMI on the current loan. We asked about our options- We did not apply for a refinance or give authorization to pull credit from either borrower on the loan but shortly after received an email as if we submitted a loan application. As soon as we received the email about setting up a new loan process ( an " e-consent '' for initial disclosures ) It was clarified to the Loan Officer that we were not interested in obtaining a new loan or refinancing and asked him to withdrawal our application. Because we didn't give our authorization for the e-consent we received an overnight disclosure package in the mail 2 days later. The paperwork shows all old/incorrect information from our old file because we never gave him updated info for an application. We are frustrated to have had our credit pulled without our permission and then even more frustrated that after we clarified that we did not want to refinance that we still received loan docs in the mail. The LO should have cancelled our application before anything had been sent.

Complaint narrative:
In response to Citibanks letter dated XX/XX/XXXX for my Citi Best Buy accounts ending in XXXX ( Old account ) and the new account ending in XXXX ( see letter attached ) I received all the statements and receipts and i can confirm all transactions after XX/XX/XXXX where unauthorized. 
This is the 3rd time I have informed Citi bank of the unauthorized transactions The transaction in XXXX Florida for {$900.00} in mine, as i previously said, I was in Florida from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ( see attached boarding pass ) However, all the other transactions from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX are unauthorized. I did not make them, sign those receipts and I did not profit from them in anyway. This is including the pay by phone payments on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. They were not made from any of my checking accounts. 

Additionally, If there is anything else Citibank feels they need to discuss it MUST be written communications. Therefore, In the event there is a civil claim, it is best both parties have equal access to all the historical facts. I stated this in my previous correspondence and I am stating it again. 

In the meantime, I am advising Citibank to conduct themselves appropriately. Which, to this point you have failed to do. I AM REFERRING DIRECTLY TO THE MID-CYCLE POSTING OF THE BALANCE FOR ITEMS I HAD JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER DISPUTED.
