Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I was sent {$50.00} through XXXX. On XX/XX/year> I was sent {$20.00}. Each deposit made was done so while purchases were pending. When there are purchases withdrawn from my account & held for the merchant to take... and I receive a deposit while this process is happening, Bank Of America 's system takes the money they took for the purchase AND my refund/deposit. This has happened to my husband and I for years until the big scandal when BOA took money from SO many account holders they couldn't brush it off as the customer 's mistake. Now that the heat is off, they are taking money again. I filed a complaint before when BOA took my {$350.00} refund from a car rental company about 3 years ago. This company has committed fraud before and been sued so many times, but only big companies are receiving repayment for their losses. Where is the advocate for us? I am not rich. I know how I i spend my money. I want my money back. How can they be allowed to keep stealing from us without retribution?

Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Moehla because I need a document from them that my mortage lender is requesting. I stayed on hold for an hour before they told me I needed to be transferred to a different department. I stayed on old for another hour and a half and no one came to the phone. 

I called back today, Monday, XX/XX/XXXX and was on hold for XXXX minutes. Someone answered and said I needed to be transferred to an advanced agent. I spent an hour on hold only for someone to pick up the phone and hang up. This document is important for me to move forward and I can not get hold of someone. Furthermore, their option to receiv a call back does not work. I went through the prompts and was still added to the regular call mode. 

I called back again from my phone and they dropped the call. This is insanity.
