Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On Tuesday, XXXX XXXX I received a text alert from Bank of America warning me about a low balance. When I checked my account activity from the weekend, I noticed XXXX cash withdrawals made from XXXX ATMs in XXXX. 

The ATMs and amounts withdrawn were : {$44.00} ( includes ATM fee ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Texas - XXXX {$300.00} ( incldues ATM fee ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I tried calling them immediately, but since XX/XX/XXXX was on Monday, I had trouble getting through since their holiday message kept playing ( despite it being Tuesday & business hours ). I signed into my online account and locked my card. 

Finally later in the day I was able to get in touch with them. I let them know I 'd been involved in a car accident on Friday and on Saturday, when the withdrawals were made, I was home all day recovering. Bank of America opened a claim and said they would investigate. I asked them to please check the cameras. 

In the meantime they issued a temporary credit for the amounts withdrawn as well as the ATM fees ( they were made at non-BoA ATMs ). My debit card was still in my possession. 

When asked to answer some questions and submit claim documents online, I provided them with a statement of my whereabouts as well as geolocation proof from XXXX XXXX demonstrating where I was when it happened. 

On Friday, XXXX XXXX I received a response that my claim had been resolved. When I signed on and viewed the letter, I was informed that my claim was being denied. 

I followed up with their claims department and was told my claim was denied based on the following : The person who withdrew the funds knew my pin number. Since there was no pin error, it was n't considered fraud. 
The person who withdrew the funds only did so twice. Since it was only twice, it was not considered aggressive behavior. 
The person who withdrew the funds did not deplete my account to {$0.00}. Since they did n't completely empty my account, it was not considered fraud. 

I was informed the temporary credit would be reversed since they saw no signs of fraud. 

I 've filed police reports for each withdrawal.

Complaint narrative:
Please note I am seeking the assistance by the CFPB regarding a real estate fraud transaction pertaining to my primary residence. I have attached the deed of trust for each transaction I am contesting. I began to suspect fraud in XXXX after receiving mortgage statements from Bank of America for a loan in the amount of {$150000.00}. 
I never had a reason to believe I owed a mortgage since my property was paid off in XXXX ; here is the recorded document with the County Recorder 's Office of XXXX XXXX : DOC # XXXX However since my own investigation and unsuccessful attempt to have Bank of America assist me with my complaints in XXXX, I began checking the title of my property. I began to pull all the grant deeds with the county recorder 's office and went so far as to track the notary publics to determine who signed on my behalf. I was determined to identify the individual who had cashed out on my home and since than I am seeking the assistance of the District Attorney to validate the following transactions that I did not solicit : DOC # XXXX XXXX {$88000.00} DOC # XXXX XXXX {$90000.00} DOC # XXXX CountryWide {$50000.00} ( home equity line of credit ) DOC # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$70000.00} ( home equity line of credit ) DOC # XXXX Bank of America ( FHA LOAN ) {$150000.00} I have been making payments on the Bank of America/ FHA loan in fear that I may lose my home regardless if I did not acquire that loan. I just want to get to the bottom of this and fix this fraudulent situation immediately. I apologize if I can not provide specific dates, descriptions of the transactions or individuals since I am declaring the above transactions were completed without my consent or my presence. 
You may reach me at ( XXXX ) XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America provided oral instructions by telephone on a recast of my mortgage. I followed the procedure and submitted my letter of intent along with a payment of approximately {$15000.00} to be applied to the principal to complete the recast process and have a lower principal balance on which to calculate my new payment. My check for $ 15,000+ was applied to the principal upon receipt, but I never heard from Bank of America XXXX After repeated phone calls over a one month period, I finally reached someone on the phone who told me that we were denied the recast. There was nothing to be done about the {$15000.00} payment that had been applied to the loan. My payment remains the same. No letter of denial of the recast and no letter of apology for shabby treatment was ever sent to me.

Issue: Delinquent account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a business credit card account with Bank of America. The payment was late. They took money out of my personal checking account without my authorization. When I called Bank of America they refused to investigate the charge. If they had a judgement I can see how taking money out of my account would be fine, but they do n't. My personal checking account is not linked to the business account ( for a reason ) and there was n't enough in the business account for them to siphen money from, so they took it out of a personal account instead. When I called to dispute the charge I was told that I 'd have to dispute it with the credit card department. If it had been any other creditor I would be allowed to dispute it with my bank for an unauthorized charge ( listed as a debit card purchase ). The representative said that the checking account was linked to the business credit card which is completely false, but still I did not authorize that charge. There is no judgement that would give them access to my account. If I were having this dispute with any other credit card company they could n't just take money out of my account without my permission or a judgment and the judgment would be against the business as again this is not a personal account.

Complaint narrative:
Please review the attached mortgage prepared by Bank of America. I am the current resident at the property address on the mortgage and am in the process of selling the home. This mortgage was discovered during the title search and has been delaying the sale of my home for about two months with what I now understand to be " XXXX ''. I think the biggest problem with the mortgage is that it was recorded a full year after it was prepared so the title companies involved never knew it was there. Also, I ca n't understand why I had to call them to get the release of lien started ; should n't that be done when the lien is paid off? I think there was some intentional fraud here on behalf of the previous owner and someone that works at that branch. The previous owner went through the closing of the property in question and her new home in Texas without disclosing this mortgage. Please help me to get the release sent to my title company so I can close on my short-sale before it falls through!!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I owned a checking account with Bank of America. The account carried no monthly fee due to there being a waiver on the monthly fee. I received a letter in the mail indicating that the bank will be converting my account into a different type of account which carries a $ XXXX monthly fee. However, the letter unequivocally stated that I will not be charged the fee due to there being a fee waiver on the account. A few weeks later, I discovered that the fee was charged and my account was brought into the negative. I went into a BofA branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX. in XXXX, FL. I brought the letter with me and showed it to XXXX at the branch. XXXX studied the letter, and then nervously told me that he 's not a lawyer and could n't interpret the letter. I asked him to waive the fee, which he attempted to do but told me he could n't since the system would n't allow it. I was unhappy with this response, and told him that I would deposit cash to bring the account to a XXXX balance so that it could be closed. I did and XXXX closed the account. I chose to close the account because I did n't want to give the bank additional opportunities to harvest fees on the account. The {$25.00} fee had already been charged despite the letter indicating, clearly, that a fee " will not be charged ''. The charging of the fee was an unfair and deceptive practice, in that the fee was not reasonably avoidable, and the terms of the letter I received in the mail was misleading. I would like my {$25.00} refunded.

I did not authorize this purchase, did not receive the goods that were sold and believe that i should be able to retain the money.

We had been at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, California for almost 20 years. We refinanced our home with Country Wide Mortgage. When my husband applied for this, he was told by the agent at Country Wide that they had been instructed to lend to anyone with a heartbeat. 
The market collapsed, we were not able to keep up with our payments and contacted Country Wide. They were working with us and assured me that we could come to a settlement. I provided them with all the documentation they requested. Suddenly our home of over 20 years was up for public auction. I tried to contact County Wide and was told the person I had been working with was no longer there and they could not help me. 
We lost our home. I did not know there was an agency that might be able to help us so we left after paying a {$2000.00} per month payment for more than 20 years, we lost it all.

Complaint narrative:
Name : XXXX Loan Company : Navient over the last XXXX years I have been making my payments on time. I got laid off XXXX weeks ago, the company ( navient ) claims that they can not provide me with any relief even though I 'm unemployed. Then I asked them to lower my payment and put me in some sort of program, to do that they say they must speak to my cosigners, these people are elderly, my XXXX is dealing with my XXXX XXXX, my XXXX is dealing with a theft and robbery, my XXXX is on a fix income older lady. They are asking to speak to them during these difficult times. I understand business, but they could lower my monthly payment I 'm just asking for a very small period of time or some sort help. They have nothing left to say except they must speak to my cosigners I told them I could get the information and they dont want that. I asked them not to put me in a program just to lower my payment by {$100.00} I told them I felt confident that I would find a job soon and should have the funds to make the payment and they do not want to help. I spoke to a XXXX and instead of giving me any help he reiterated the initial statement and told me it was unfair to his company that I felt like they were not giving me help. He was condescending and disrespectful to me. They have all the cards, they dont have to do anything to help me because they know if I dont make my payment they will just put me in default. I'am left with taking money from my food, electric, and phone bill to make their payments because I do not want to go into default. I understand business again my issue is that I have been responsible in making my payments I havent made a late payment in that time period. I just want to add my name to this list because I want people to know before they get in a loan with Navient that they will give you a loan but if you ever find yourself in a difficult position they will not help you in any way to make your payment. The only help they have is " make your payment of go into default ''. People need to know these companies have no XXXX for the people they are supposed to be providing a service to, they want their money and there is no wiggle room. Please research this company before you decide to take a loan out.
