Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I placed 10 calls to the mortgage company in the months of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of XXXX. The mortgage company placed a forced placed policy upon our property for the period of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX without notifying us. They didn't notify us they were going to do this until the policy period had ended. The policy was back dated and written on XX/XX/XXXX. I checked with my insurance company to get a policy for the period and no one is permitted to back date a policy. I believe this to be a predatory practice to collect a premium that is 4 times the rate of my homeowners policy.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Deceptive and Misleading promotion. 

Please see the attachment that highlights a 0 % APR until 2024. 

Due to the " transaction fee '' the absolute lowest APR you receive is 3 %, not 0 %. 

In addition, if you use your credit card in a normal manner, it is likely you will pay much higher than 3 % due to the confusing manner in which continued use of the card will incure regular interest rates and payments will be applied first to the balance that has 0 % interest. 

For example : Let 's assume I normally charge {$1000.00} on my card each month and pay it in full at the end of each month to avoid interest. Let 's assume I take this promotional offer and a " cash advance '' for {$12000.00} that I believe I will pay a 0 % XXXX until XX/XX/2024 as highlighted. If I continue to use my card as normal do ( i.e. charge and pay {$1000.00} each month for the next 12 months ), then I pay off the entire card balance in XX/XX/2024. The " 0 % APR '' that I expected ends up costing me 15.28 %. 

Each month that I make a {$1000.00} charge and a {$1000.00} payment, I, in effect unwittingly convert {$1000.00} of the {$12000.00} cash advance to a 21.24 % variable XXXX. Add to that the 3 % " transaction fee '' and by the end of the year I have paid 15.28 % for the " 0 % APR cash advance. ''
