Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying my loans by check since Navient refuses to let me open my online account and make payments. I could pay several time a month when money is available for me and get the payments caught up without the harassing phone calls and mis appropriating my monthy payments. They continue to make me late on payments each month. For the last 6 months, I have paid {$150.00} for XXXX loans. XXXX is bout {$98.00} and the other {$47.00}. I paid XXXX with XXXX check and after a few months, I noticed my bills were saying I was late again. I XX/XX/XXXX I sent in an extra payment so that I could pay my {$150.00} any week of the month, since I am on very limited income, and need to pay mortgage at the first of the month. I got bills saying I was ahead on XXXX bill and the other is showing me as {$170.00} late, they started calling my house all day long again. I had to turn off the answering machine. 
The reason for not speaking to them, is because I will only get a roto call bill collector who will only ask me for money, not be able to investigate why my payment have not been applied to XXXX bills each time I send in the money. The collector will not have the correct information and I have to tell them to update their screens. I tried to send in both payments in XXXX separate envelopes, so that the processer would not be able to apply my check to only XXXX of my loans.. But regardless of XXXX checks and XXXX stamps, all my money should have been applied to XXXX payments, regardless. Now I am paying interest on XXXX of the loan notes again. I wish we could have some help from the government, because of all the interest money that has been taken from me, I feel illegally. I have not ever gotten help with a real live representative that can bring solution to my case. Thus, I refuse to answer the phone. Please help me get my payments accredited to XXXX my loans.

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am the successor trustee for a trust account opened at Bank of America, branch located at XXXX. - XXXX, FL XXXX. 
The original trustee is deceased and I have been trying for over one week to gain rightful access to the account. I did provide a copy of the trust agreement, which designates me as the successor trustee, as well as the death certificate of the original grantor/trustee. However, nobody at the bank seems to understand how to make the proper modifications to the trust account to provide me with access. Time is of the essence and yet phone calls are not promptly returned, and when they are returned, all I get is stalling from the branch manager, XXXX. 
Their delays are causing irreparable harm to the trust. Please investigate and resolve this issue including any applicable penalties for the unjustifiable delaying tactics this bank is using.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Navient has not provided me with an accurate XXXX Student Loan interest paid statement for my private Student Excel loan. Account number XXXX. When requesting a XXXX by phone I was directed to a customer service representative specifically trained in Private loans and was assured I would receive it in my email. The attached form was received and is not accurate nor a XXXX. 

I received a notice on the automated phone system that a self certifying form to confirm the interest paid for my XXXX was sent to my mailing address was correct but I have not received it yet nor is it available online for download. This is an unnecessary burden mean to discourage borrowers from receiving tax benefits for private loans. The XXXX should be available and should have been mailed to me since i paid more than {$600.00} in interest and capitalized interest in the 2014 tax year.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Incorrect negative report by Bank of America on XXXX and XXXX I was recently informed of negative information reported by Bank of America included in the file XXXX and XXXX maintains under my Social Security number. This amount is the result of numerous attempts made to Bank of America to remove pre-authorized payments on my account. I maintain records of all these communications to the banking representative at the branch in XXXX, CA which were unanswered. These numerous contact attempts and requests for action by me as the account holder were neither answered or acted upon. As a result, the lack of communications and customer service caused service charges which I was attempting to avoid. Eventually, I had no choice but to close the account to avoid further arrears. Despite further contact with the branch in XXXX, asking to resolve these service fees, nothing was done. After my account was closed, Bank of America never contacted me as to the status of resolving the fees charged to my account from XXXX 2015 till approximately XXXX 2015. To the best of my knowledge, I never received a bill or statement from Bank of America informing me that an amount was still owed to them. I have sent copies of all communications by email documenting these attempts to talk to my account manager to dispute the information on my records that suggests I did not communicate at all. 

Please validate this information with Bank of America and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this " amount owing '' bearing my signature. In the absence of any such documentation, I ask that this information be immediately deleted from the record maintain under my Social Security number and provide an updated report from XXXX and XXXX. I also request that any amounts owing be reviewed and recalculated if warranted. I would like to clear up any monies owing.

Complaint narrative:
B of A misapplied my early payments to principal paydown, then dinged me for late payments. Between XXXX/XXXX/15 and XXXX/XXXX/15, a CSR named " XXXX '' advised they would fix it and told me to send in {$100.00}. Later B of A still hit me for a late fee and did n't fix it. On XXXX/XXXX/15 I requested a pay off demand. B of A had another late fee included in the payoff of {$130000.00} as of XXXX/XXXX/15. I complained and on XXXX/XXXX/15 I spoke with an XXXX at " XXXX '' who said he would resolve my demand that they remove the {$38.00} late fee. B of A then re-issued the payoff demand on XXXX/XXXX/15 for {$130000.00} as of XXXX/XXXX/15 XXXX yes ~ {$180.00} higher! ) I called and complained. B of A ignored me. I spoke with a XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15, who said he would resolve the issue. He never did, i called and left about XXXX voicemail messages for him over the next 3-4 days and he never responded. I also left XXXX vm messages for " XXXX '' who was purportedly XXXX ' supervisor at XXXX, he never called me back. I also left vm messages for " XXXX '' at x XXXX, he never called me back. 

I spoke with an XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 at around XXXX, she was unwilling or unable to resolve the XXXX {$180.00} problem. 

I was forced to overpay in the payoff demand, as the property was being sold. 
In addition, i made an inadvertant extra payment to B of A after the property was sold. 
I never received any accounting as to the overpayments and would like a full accounting. I received a check back but i believe this was only for the credit balance in the escrow account.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Over the past few years I have attempted to get a credit increase from Bank of America - I started with the card back in XXXX as a secured {$300.00} card which after 2 years was released from the security deposit. I have incurred a number of inquiries over the years from just BOFA - I ca n't get anyone to actually look at my account. I keep getting stellar credit reference letters but no one will look at my history with BOFA rather they keep pulling Credit Reports. I am not telling BOFA how to manage their business - it 's obviously an internal decision on their part - but I can not seem to reason with a human being to actually " review '' my account - always results in a hard pull which I can not afford anymore. My other credit card issuers have no issues giving more credit limit and at this point I do n't understand why I even bank at BofA anymore - they do not do anything for me - I 've been a customer since XXXX and I get nothing. I 'm at the point where I will most likely close out all my accounts and bank with a company that actually values my business - I ca n't even rent a car with a {$300.00} credit limit.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX I started the process of a loan modification. I was assigned a Case Mgr to ensure that all documents were signed and received in a timely manner. In XXXX XXXX, I was advised that the modification was declined and they stated that " They could not prove my residency ''. I was very confused as to why they declined for the reason, so I sent a letter providing proof of my residency, 6 months of bank statements etc. So the process for the loan modification started over again or so I thought. Bank Of America has stopped responding to me, I 've submitted letters ( I have proof of the letter ) and I have also contacted the investor HUD to ask for assistance. We are not getting anywhere at all. I really need HELP. My husband is a XXXX American Veteran we really need help. Bank of America 's connection history is not great .. I really need help. Apparently Bank Of America realized that bank in XXXX they made an error in recording my previous modification with my county recorders office and Bank of America has placed a stop to my modification process because due to their error. I do n't feel its fair to me because they made a mistake.

I co signed a student loan for my nephew. It 's a small loan and he now has a job and has been making payments. Even though payments have been made, I am called on my work cell phone repeatedly. And when I say repeatedly, it can be up to five times in one day. I 've also received letters threatening legal action. This is despite the fact that my nephew, although is late on occasion, has been fairly consistent in making payments.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I transferred {$5000.00} to XXXX of which banks with XXXX XXXX. I was charged a {$25.00} wire fee from my bank for the transfer. However, the trade station employee sent me an email stating, " If the bank charges you a fee for the wire, let me know and we will credit that amount back to your account. '' This has not been done and I am now wanting to cancel my account with them after two weeks. In addition, I now come to find out they are going to minus {$25.00} from my account to send me a wire back to my bank. There 's no such policy in writing stating that this is the only option to get my money back. It gives me an option on their website stating you can " Wire Transfer, {$25.00} '' or " Request a Check, Free, '' but they will not send out a free check, because their " Internal Policy. '' This is illegal. I spoke to " XXXX '' the supervisor and he stated, my concern is not written publicly anywhere, but that they will not give me back my money I sent them -- in full. I am requesting a check which is free for them to send and they will not send me one, because of " internal policy rules. '' I want my money in full, and I want it now ; so they need to figure out how that can be done. I also want the {$25.00} ( of which is in writing ) credited back to my account and a check or wire for the amount of {$5000.00}. There 's no written public information to justify what they are saying. They are only willing to send me {$4900.00} back of my {$5000.00} I sent them and there 's no way around this unlawful practice. What they are stating is not in any contract I signed or a public policy. When I informed XXXX that this is not stated anywhere he said, " yes it does n't say that anywhere, but it 's in our internal policy. '' Does this mean that everyone can have some internal policy that rips off the client and that 's justifiable? My next action is to charge them interest on my money for how long it takes for them to get my money back to me, because I would be making interest on my money through my bank.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America has repeatedly engaged in unfair, poor, and deceptive practices. 

During the time when XXXX was assigned as the Customer Relationship Manager ( CRM ) /dedicated single point of contact ( SPOC ) between XX/XX/2013 and XX/XX/2013, Bank of America committed multiple acts of fraud by misrepresentation and omission. Specifically, XXXX issued multiple MHA HAMP denial letters on appeal contradicting the XX/XX/2013 Appeal Report. 

It appears whenever the Appeals Department issued an update regarding the appeal review indicating more time is needed before a determination can be issued, XXXX would issue a MHA HAMP denial letter representing to me l had been denied MHA HAMP on appeal. A classic tit-for-tat move designed to mislead and deceive. 

XXXX, as the SPOC, is prohibited from conducting appeal reviews on this account. Furthermore, it is not the duty or responsibility of the SPOC to issue determinations on appeal. 

Also previously mentioned resolutions are desired and mandatory.

Complaint narrative:
This is with respect to my experience with Bank of America, XXXX, NJ Branch. I contacted them for a pre qualification of a mortgage loan before I can put an offer on a house I was interested in buying. I made it very clear to them that this is just pre-qualification and asked them if doing it will have any impact on my credit report, and if it did then I do n't want to proceed with them. They made it very clear that this will only be a soft check and it will in no way affect my credit history/report. I went ahead with the pre-qualification with them based on this assurance. However to my surprise my credit history was affected as they run a hard check on my SSN. When I contacted them asking for explanation, the person said she was not aware of it and said she was sorry, but said there was no way to fix it. This happened on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I even complained to the BOA redressal cell, but never got a response back from them.

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

Complaint narrative:
Navient purchased my student loans from XXXX on XX/XX/2016 ( according to them via phone today at XXXX ). I received correspondence from Navient in XXXX regarding this change & called them to remit my payment. Not only did I make my XXXX payment on time ( prior to XX/XX/XXXX ) but I also paid XXXX during this same initial phone call. Today, I receive a letter from Navient advising that my account is past due since I did n't make my XXXX payment. I immediately call in and the representative tells me I never paid XXXX. I candidly went through the timeline with her ( XXXX Agent # XXXX ) and had her confirm that it is impossible for Navient to imply they notified me in XXXX to send my XX/XX/XXXX payment to them since they actually acquired my loan on XX/XX/XXXX. She verified that I had in fact called in XXXX and made 2 payments immediately. I explained that I did this proactively since the initial rep explained that I would need to set up an online account with Navient for future payments. Since I had never used their system, I went ahead and made the XXXX payment to avoid any issues. I am most upset at the deceptive practice of reporting my account late to the credit bureaus when in fact I contacted Navient and remitted payment not only for XXXX but also XXXX. I think it is also important to note that for the entire time XXXX held my account, I was only late once when I was in between jobs. Other than that, I always paid in advance of my due date. I do n't know the laws regarding account acquisition but I would have to imagine there is some sort of grace period put in place to allow for the transition of accounts. This absolutely ridiculous to me that my account is being reflected as negative.
