Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America is charging me overdraft fees, declining to cease, and not allowing me to close my services with them. At the beginning of 2020, I called Bank of America to request that all charges which would overdraft my account be blocked entirely to result in no charges. Bank of America has negated my request and continued to charge me checking account overdraft fees throughout 2020 to present-day, which have resulting in the overdrawing of my account. They are now refusing to close my account and refusing to block any incoming payments, unless I pay the overdrafted amount, which comprises solely of the fees that they were explicitly requested to cease in the first place. I have called them several times, and they are declining entirely to refund their fees and close the account, which will result in additional fees, which I will not pay. They have stolen the entirety of my recent {$1200.00} Covid stimulus check that is required for food and shelter for me and my child.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage claims I owe them over {$16000.00} in a " escrow shortage '' for my conventional XXXX XXXX loan. But they refuse to deduct XXXX they got back from the DC Government during my dispute over the amount of taxes owed. They admitted this in a letter of XX/XX/2020 to me ( attached ), saying they got the money, and that DC said this " removed the escrow shortage. '' Yet, they claim there is still a shortage. I want to pay off the loan with a lower-rate loan, but don't want to pay the excess they claim I owe. I have written them repeatedly, but they claim they are as pure as pristine snow, even though they were fined {$3.00} XXXX last year by DOJ for fraudulent accounts. I think mine is a repeat.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX FOR {$930.00}??? HOW? I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : XXXX. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have previously sent you a request to validate my debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and all I received was an itemized list of the alleged charges you claim I owe you. This does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation. 

I notice that you are still reporting this collection on my credit report, which is considered to be a collection activity. You are now in violation of the FCPDA, and are now subject to fines of {$1000.00}, plus actual damages and attorneys fees, which I may collect from you by filing a claim in small claims court. These collections on my credit report are causing me severe problems in trying to purchase a home and the damage could lead into the $ 1000s.

You should also be aware that reporting such invalidated information to major credit bureaus might constitute defamation of character, as the negative marks on my credit report harm my credit and prevent me from enjoying all the benefits of good credit. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report and under this act. Therefore, if you do not immediately remove this account from my credit report, you are subject to another {$1000.00} fine, plus punitive damages. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. 


I intend to follow through with the suit if I do not hear back from you within 15 days.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is reporting an higher and wrong loan mortgage balance to credit reporting agency. My current balance is {$83000.00}. It was {$84000.00} in XXXX. However XXXX XXXX reports a balance of {$86000.00} to credit reporting agency. 

When I attempt to have them make a correction, they refuse and reply with the following lie. 
" We can confirm we reported your principal balance accurately, to the credit agencies. We can also verify in XX/XX/2020, there was a non-sufficient payment received, which given the timing of the reporting and when the payment reversal occurred, this would have impacted your reported principal balance.
