Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America has made a decision to close the two credit cards I had with them. They informed me the decision to close the account on XX/XX/XXXX. At the same time, they do not allow me to redeem the cash back rewards I still have on these XXXX credit cards. XXXX credit card has about {$800.00} in cashback rewards and another credit card has about {$6700.00} in cashback rewards. Bank of America does not tell me the reason for closing my accounts nor does it give me any heads-up that the accounts will be close so I would have time to redeem the cashback rewards. I understand Bank of America has made the decision to close the accounts, but they can not just keep my cashback rewards ( ~ {$7500.00} ). If Bank of America has the ability to unilaterally close the accounts, then they can not be just cancel my cash rewards on the credit card. This is what pirate would do, no a company like Bank of America.

Issue: Getting a loan — Denied loan
Company: College Ave Student Loan Servicing, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I applied to go to XXXX after transferring home From XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after my mother had a XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I was only XX/XX/XXXX years old. 

After getting in, I only got about half of the money due for tuition in financial aid. So I had to go the private sector route. I first got a loan applying with my grandmother ( has since passed away after I graduated from XXXX XXXX ), this was from College Ave services. They gave me, {$31000.00} ( XXXX ID - XXXX ) for XXXX year of tuition. Disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX. After my first year I was taking summer classes. This time again, I would need financial aid. Not getting enough I would turn to the private sector again, But only this time I was denied any further loans from College Ave, even with my Grandmother as a cosigner. So I turned to XXXX XXXX. I was approved with my grandmother again as cosigner, for a loan of {$8800.00} ( Loan ID - # XXXX ) that was disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX. After summer classes, my Junior/Senior year was about to begin, and so I had to find more funding. This time though, nobody would approve me, I tried multiple different websites other than but including, XXXX XXXX and College Ave, I do not fault the others as looking back now as an actual adult how wrong it would be to give a person like me funding of that nature, but so many companies feast on people like me. I also tried multiple different cosigners from my family, but no luck. Therefore, I had spent a just about a year at XXXX, borrowed over {$60000.00} total ( including federal loans, just principal, now it is much higher ), and for nothing. I borrowed all that money to go to a dream school, with an incredible reputation, thinking I was knowing the risk and " knowing '' ( truly hoping ) a degree from there would be worth the money. I truly believe they both XXXX XXXX and College Ave gave me the original loans, more than well knowing that they would not approve me for a second one. How that is not unlawful is beyond me, but now I am stuck, worried sick about how to live, because I have this huge debt on my shoulders. In total with Federal I owe currently about XXXX in loans, and I graduated from a school that would have cost me {$80000.00} had I never tried to achieve a dream degree.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My vehicle went into repossession. I was told to pay XXXX to stop repossession. I did pay that in the amount of XXXX! Today when trying to acquire a loan I was told that I have a Charged off debt on my XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX! 
XXXX XXXX told me to pay to stop repossession, but after paying, they put on my credit that the debt was charged off as bad debt! I am still making my monthly payments and they never sent a letter or notice that they would charge this account off, even after catching up all payments to stop the repossession. Now my credit account is showing this account as closed and I still have a vehicle I am making current payments on. Deceitful practices! They gave no notice, letter or call saying after they receive my payments they would close this account. I paid in full to make this account current.
