Complaint narrative:
I had numerous issues with Navient ( XXXX ) from the start. From endless fees, to obnoxious harassing phone calls, extremely high interest rates, the list goes on and on. The representatives at Navient are disorganized and super hard to deal/work with. They are an extremely corrupt company! I always have problems with them making mistakes on my loan payments. They tried to withdraw even more money from my bank account that I had authorized and put my account in the negative. So many problems with Navient!

Complaint narrative:
AmSher Collections At around XXXX Pacific XXXX XXXX, 2017, I spoke with XXXX in the XXXX section, ID # XXXX. He told me it would take 15-30 days after payment for it to be marked as paid on my credit report. I requested a receipt after giving my credit card number and agreed to pay my debt. I also gave him my new mailing address. He stated it should take 5-7 business days for me to receive written confirmation of payment from AmSher. 

By XXXX XXXX, I had not received any receipt but had the payment to AmSher listed on my credit card statement. At around XXXX Pacific on XXXX XXXX, 2017, I spoke with XXXX and then his manager, XXXX XXXX. XXXX told me that " the letter was n't generated. '' I asked if a letter was sent out at all. " No, ma'am. '' He confirmed my new address. I asked if this was a widespread issue where AmSher does n't send out receipts. XXXX said no. He said he would escalate the issue to XXXX XXXX, Director of Operations, and the compliance officer. He also required an email where I could provide permission to contact me via email before he could send a receipt via email. 

I would like to file a complaint stating that the debt collection agency did not send a receipt for my payment, even after my request, and made me send a letter allowing permission to contact me via email before sending me anything via email.

Complaint narrative:
Today, XXXX/XXXX/2015, After trying to contact Bank of America to inquire about 3 consecutive overdraft fees of {$35.00} each that occur on XXXX/XXXX/2015, I could not get this issue resolved. I waited for over an hour to speak to a representative, he seem to not understand XXXX XXXX XXXX that 3 consecutive overdraft fees were assessed while I still had funds available in my account even after 3 payments/transactions that posted onto my account. He kept referencing the overdraft fees to a payment that happened when I still had funds available, but was not making any sense. I, then demanded to speak to one of the supervisors, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was impolitely addressed to, while I believe her current position was not that of a supervisor due to her rude demeanor. I have been banking with Bank of America for a long time to know that when an overdraft fee is assessed, it is always when a transaction has posted to the account and your balance goes in the negative, not while transactions are in process or pending. I am very unsatisfied with the customer service and I believe this practice is very corrupt. It is very clear where the 3 transactions posted to my account and I was assessed overdraft fees of {$35.00} for each one, while still having funds available and my account not going into the negative/overdraft. In reality, the only transaction which would have caused me to go overdraft would have been the transaction that is " processing '' in the amount of {$190.00} which has not even posted to my account. I have included a screen shot to support my explanation. I demand to have this issue resolved and the overdraft fees refunded for this unfair practice.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
2 years ago, I started paying the loans for my wife. Since she was not paying for them, I offered to pay. However, to " qualify '' for a forbearance program, the loan company had to speak with either my wife or my mother ( cosigner ). My wife was unreachable at the time. The representative stated that my mom had to say " yes '' to the terms and conditions even though she does n't speak XXXX. At the time, I did n't think nothing of it and I just wanted to bring the loan current. Payments were set, from my account, automatic payments. However, the payments stopped. When I called regarding the payments, I was told that in order to continue taking payments, they needed to re-do another " contract '' and had to speak with either my mom or my wife. My wife was not available and my mom does not speak XXXX. After many calls offering to pay, they refused to do another forbearance plan. I was told by several supervisors that they have to do it over the phone and that my mom has to speak XXXX in order to do another plan. 
This refusal has been regarding a supposed California XXXX that prohibits them from making any changes to the loan if the borrower ( my mom ) does not speak XXXX. I have called more than 5 times asking the details of this " law '' but they have refused to tell me which XXXX is it. 
If in fact, there is a law prohibiting the loan company from making any changes to the terms and conditions due to the borrower 's lack of understanding XXXX, then, they have violated such law. 
I need to know what law is the XXXX they are referring, the specifics, so that I can file for violation of the law with the California XXXX XXXX. I feel that my mom and I, have been taken advantage of this predatory loan company. 
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
I used a credit card issued by Bank of America ( BOA ). However, I have been charged once for return check fee and once for late payment fee. I have never tried to make late payment or void payment. Both issues were caused by the fact that BOA does not provide enough instructions and help in setting up online payment correctly. I thought I have set up recurring online payment correctly. I do n't know know why it did not work well. I tried to got help several time through its online service and phone service. When I asked them to check if I set up the recurring payment successfully, they failed to provide this service. Online chat representative asked me made a call. When I finally got connected with the phone representative, she said she were not able to confirm for me. Now they charged the fees and refuse the reverse them.

I have called Monroe and Main and been put on hold for hours. someone needs to call me from the IT department about the issue with paying my bill. I can not pay it online. My account shows a XXXX balance and it will not recognize my account number. They have sent emails telling me how to fix it but it does not work. They are continuing to report me late without giving me a tool to pay. I will not give you my personal credit or bank info over the phone and will only pay online as I have before, their sollection practice is to lock a consumer out of the billpay system once they are late and to force them to provide bank account info over the phone. If you refuse to provide bank info to a stranger they call numerous times a day ignoring the request to unlock the online pay tool. I have requested they escalate to the compliance department but that was not done. This is the same account service for my Swiss Colony and Seventh Avenue accounts. All are late now and they are not providing an option to pay other than over the phone providing bank account info to a stranger. .My number is XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
My estimated closing date is XXXX for a condo purchase ( today is XXXX ). All throughout the month I have been reaching out to Bank of America proactively to ask for status, to push for things to get done. For the past week, I have had to push even more because they could not come up with a closing date or provide an update on when my loan can be approved, even though I provided everything they asked me to provide. They provided me with a closing disclosure yesterday without explaining the urgency of me reviewing it ; it was only when my agent told me the importance and urgency that I realized if I did n't review it there would be implications. Luckily I reviewed it before the day was over. With 2 days to closing, and with the seller pushing for a closing date, and with me not knowing my living situation as my lease is expiring and I am to move out of my current unit by the end of the week, Bank of America 's answer is on my pushing for a closing date is as follows : " I ca n't tell you a 100 % date that this will happen because we are working as fast as we can to approve the loan. I believe there is greater than a 50 % chance that the loan will be final approved this week and an extremely high chance of final approval being done next week. '' Does Bank of America expect everyone to just be flexible with their living situations ( including my leasing office in my current unit, and the next tenant to move in ) and just pick up and go whenever they decide to come up with a closing date?? No matter how many times I pointed this out to them, my statement gets ignored. They tell me they have a backlog of applications to review. If they are so overwhelmed with applications, they should not accept that many to begin with! It is unreasonable to assume that a consumer should suffer and put their live on hold because of a bank 's " backlog '', and not provide a consumer with an expected date. For now, I have had to plan to rent a temporary accommodation and put my life on hold until Bank of America decides when it is of their convenience to come back with a closing date to us.

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

Complaint narrative:
Navient is my loan servicer. I also have some loans that are serviced by XXXX. Every year, I submit a renewal for my income-based repayment plan using the same forms and tax returns to both servicers. This year, Navient rejected my renewal, because I " chose the wrong option, '' and a representative informed me that I can only submit a renewal for income-based repayment 45 days before the expiration of my plan, and no earlier. She told me that it would take between 15-20 days to process once the renewal is submitted. This leaves me no time to correct any problems with my forms if they take 15-20 days to process my renewal within that 45 day window. I checked my loan document and it states that the first day I can renew is 95 days ( not 45 ) prior to the loan period expiration. The document does not have the date on which the loan period expires. I had the same issue with Navient/XXXX two years ago when I submitted my renewal prior to the 45 ( or 95 ) day window. However, I did not receive an explanation for my rejection, and the loan service operators gave me a different explanation every time I called. They also attempted to put my loan into forbearance although I made it clear that I did not want my loan to be put in forbearance. I wanted them to either process my renewal, or tell me if I am missing information which made it impossible for them to process my renewal. After several heated conversations with the loan service representatives, I was able to speak to a manager who processed my application for income-based renewal.
