Complaint narrative:
I decided to not pay another annual fee for a Bank of America Visa card. My expectation was the account would be closed. A month later I got a bill for my account which had been charged the annual fee. I did not knowingly ever agree to have the company automatically renew my account. I then called the company and was assured by customer service they would close the account and back out the charges. A month later I received another bill with a penalty included. I called again and was told they would close the account and back out all of the charges. A month later they continued to add penalties and did not close the account. I then sent them a letter with a return receipt by XXXX Mail. I detailed the above in this letter and told them to close the account and send me a final bill and I would pay that to just end this stupid experience. Instead they reported me to a credit reporting agency that I was now 120 days past due. 
I had not used this credit card for years. It was an emergency card.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2015, I refinanced my home loan with Bank of America. The proceeds for the refinance were wired and the payoff was processed. On the payoff statement, Bank of America advised they would refund any applicable escrow proceeds within 30 days. When I received my overage, it was far less than I anticipated by roughly {$400.00}. Over the span of 3 weeks, I spoke with XXXX people at Bank of America who assured me my proceeds would be refunded to me. The explanations varied from my loan being packaged to be sold which required B of A to over-pay my escrow to a timing of my payoff. It makes no sense why the explanation varied but at the end of the day, I 'm owed a refund. As of today, Bank of America has not only failed to send me my money but waited until XXXX/XXXXXX/XX/2015 to advise that my loan was paid in full. According to HUD, they advised I 'm not entitled to a refund due to the timing of the loan termination paper work. I wish to fill a complaint due to Bank of America 's willful intentions to withhold my money.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC

Complaint narrative:
Ditech took over servicing from Greentree. They did a refi under Harp on my loan # XXXX on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX they debited my escrow account for the balance owed to me ( {$2000.00} ) because the new loan did not require an escrow. The payment never arrived and during two weeks they kept saying that the check was in the mail and finally XX/XX/XXXX they said that it was probably lost and that I should wait 30 days from XXXX XXXX to request a replacement check.. which I did on XXXX XXXX. At the time they did not say that they had not mailed any of the refi related checks because " the other Company '' did not print them. I found this out after ward on XXXX XXXX when I spoke to a supervisor and asked about the status of ny refund. She told me about the mess and that they were working on the checks that should have been issued in XX/XX/XXXX and that mine would not be reissued until Saturday XXXX XXXX Bottom line : They lied to me and everybody else for three weeks XX/XX/XXXX Did not issue escrow balance refund checks as per closing agreement. 
I told them that I want my check delivered to me not later than Friday, XXXX XXXX. 
Conclusion : Their " error '' can not be justified. I need my money. 
Thank you for your assistance. You helped me before when the Company was " Greentree ''. I believe that they are just as bad. Their customer service letters arrive unsigned within two weeks acknowledging receipt of my complaint and stating that " they are working on it '' Thank you once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Note : This incident did not happen during the application process, the loan closed normally on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I could not find any of the choices that you offered on your website suitable for this problem.

Complaint narrative:
We have been dealing with XXXX Bank and Bank of America for more than 4 years trying to work out a loss mitigation settlement on our home. This story is hard to tell without giving some details. We stopped paying our mortgage in XXXX 2011, after seeking the advice of several professionals ( real estate agents, attorneys, and financial advisors ). Our property had lost half of its value, and we were literally throwing money away. We had tried to refinance with our lender for 2 years before we stopped paying. 
After losing my job, we put our house on the market hoping for a short sale. Over 4 years, we had XXXX short sale offers XXXX XXXX, a cash offer for the fair market value of the property ). Every time we had a sale, we would submit the paper work to get approval for the short sale. Every time it was rejected. Recently, we have been trying to get a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, since short sales are no longer happening in our area. Buyers are not willing to put up with the red tape involved with a short sale. 
We feel that we are dealing with a conflict of interest -- -- - Bank of America who owns the mortgage and XXXX Bank servicing the mortgage, and another arm of XXXX servicing our HELOC. We have to work with XXXX Bank regarding all the paperwork, but they tell us that Bank of America 's investors will not give us a deed-in-lieu, but with no explanations as to why. Bank of America was ordered by the courts to resolve these situations with the government settlement they received. 
We had never missed a mortgage payment and had excellent credit, until the housing crash forced us to make some difficult decisions.We did nothing to cause this situation. Our home was supposed to be an investment to supplement our retirement. Now we start retirement with a damaged credit rating and a house we can no longer afford. 
This system is entirely broken. We have spent countless hours filling out paperwork, working with professionals, and doing research. We have come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of the banks to deny anything which benefits their customers or the XXXX economy. Our tax money bailed them out, but they are not helping those who were hurt by their reckless behavior. 
Any assistance or advice you might provide would be greatly appreciated. We feel strongly that hearing our story might spur future legislation curtailing the power of the Banking Institutions in this country.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't get flexible payment options
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I currently have XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX private loans with Navient totaling {$92000.00} with interest rates of 14.25 % on XXXX and 9.75 % on the others. Earlier this year I was unemployed and reached out to Navient multiple times about the fact that I had no income and was unable to pay the current amount due each month ( approximately {$1300.00} XXXX. Multiple times I was told by their staff that I could pay {$150.00} as a deferment and would be brought current from three months delinquent. I paid this fee multiple times believing that it would allow me to be able to stay current while I caught up financially. I later found out, in XXXX of this year, that I had been lied to by the company and was continually only bringing myself 1 month current and not completely removing my delinquency and currently owed two XXXX 2 XXXX months worth of payments. Since then I have continually tried to negotiate with Navient about multiple options including loan consolidation, interest rate reduction and repayment period extension, all of which have fallen on deaf ears. I was denied a temporary rate reduction application due to both my cosigner and I together having enough income to cover the normal monthly rate of the loan according to Navient 's standards XXXX which they will, surprisingly, not disclose ). Their options are only " pay now '' or " pay now ''. At this point I am four months delinquent and they are demanding over {$6000.00} from me and still refuse to negotiate. I want to be able to pay this debt but the terms that they are providing are unfeasible for me as it would leave me with literally zero income. As it stands right now my current monthly income is less than what I owe from delinquency. My father is cosigned on the loans but as they have recently purchased a new home after moving across the country, they are in no position financially to provide me aid and I have no one else I can rely on for financial assistance. Navient keeps insisting they will only negotiate with me if the cosigner is present for the conversation as well when XXXX of the terms I have been requesting is removal of the cosigner. What they seem to lack the capability of understanding is that the only reason I have a cosigner in the first place is because at the time of loan application I had no credit history and would not have been approved so I essentially had my arm twisted into obtaining a cosigner or risk not being able to attend school. I have been continually seeking other options including consolidation loans from outside lenders but as the delinquency has severely damaged my credit I am extremely concerned that my only recourse is to attempt to discharge the loans in bankruptcy citing undue financial hardship, but not even that is a guarantee.

Complaint narrative:
The Bank of America XXXX pay language is very misleading. When choosing how to pay your credit card it gives you multiple options, one option is " Amount Due '' which you would think would mean the amount you spent that month but it actually means the minimum amount. If you want to pay the amount actually due on your credit card bill you have to choose " Pay Balance '' which is confusing because this language differs from most other credit card companies. I find this wording particularly confusing. I have spoken with multiple people about this and many have had similar experiences and incurred extra fees as a result.
