Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Bank or America continues to report a charge off for a secured credit card from 2017. This account was secured my XXXX dollars. When I no longer wanted the card. I closed it with a XXXX dollar balance. 
Bank of America waited to close my account so they could charge interest on the XXXX. My account still shows available credit. There can be no credit on a secured card that is paid off and closed. If this was truly a charge of then it was a loss in 2017 which Bank of America reports on credit report. Something charge off cant be collected as this account was reported as a loss .This was a closed account by me in 2017. It continues even though this a direct violation the fair credit reporting act. 
This needs to be addressed. Every month or every few months they report it as a new delinquent which is fraudulent. 
I have contacted all credit agencies they continue to report, even in direct Violation of the fair reporting act.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I requested a full payoff amount with the lease financing company ( ALLY Financial ), and they gave me the final payoff amount. I paid it and then they tried to charge me more money months later. When I didn't pay the extra charges, they sent the credit bureaus derogatory payment information. My credit score dropped from XXXX to XXXX. They can't give customers a full payoff amount and then charge more at a later date. That's akin to a restaurant telling you you owe more money for dinner a week after you ate... Please rectify this, I need my credit score back to where it should be and ALLY Financial must be punished for their criminal actions.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Wellsfargo announced a while back that they were closing out all of their personal lines of credit. There was such a huge push back from all of their customers that they decided to leave them open. Apparently, some time later they decided to begin charging us a yearly fee to force us to close it. The problem is that if you haven't been using the line of credit, you have no way of knowing that you owe the fee. There was not an email alert to go out or anything mailed to me. I found out about this fee that has been on my account for months and I'm unsure if it will affect my credit score. I was told that it " should '' not. I was given the option to pay the fee and keep the account, or pay the fee and close out the account. I think that is robbery for an account that I never use and to be forced to pay fees to keep a credit score. If I close out this account I am expecting my credit score to decline since I've had the account since XXXX. I may also see a drastic decrease in my credit score if they report this fee as past due. I was told that this fee has been on my account since May but have never been sent an email or anything about a past due balance. I now want this fee reversed and the account closed. I will take the hit on the credit score before continuing to do business with this bank. The only reason I was even aware of this fee is because I signed into my account to check their mortgage interest rates. When you're in the market for a home the last thing you need is a decrease in your credit score.
