Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFBP, I am writing to file a complaint against Bank of America regarding their recent practices of holding my monthly paycheck and causing undue financial hardship. 

As a loyal customer for 12 years, I had no issues with Bank of America for the first 10 years. However, following a security breach, the bank advised me to open a new account. Since then, they have repeatedly placed holds on my paycheck deposits. 

Initially, Bank of America claimed that the holds were due to my status as a " new customer. '' After XXXX months, they attributed the holds to federal regulations for larger deposit amounts. Despite their assurances that the holds would cease once they verified the legitimacy of the funds, the issue persisted intermittently. 

Bank of America has provided inconsistent explanations for the holds, ranging from federal regulations to the need to verify the funds ' legitimacy. However, the sending bank has confirmed that Bank of America receives the funds the day after I deposit my check, and I have records to support this. 

Currently, Bank of America has denied several of my transactions due to insufficient funds, even though they have held the deposited funds since the XXXX  of this month. This has resulted in the accumulation of insufficient funds transaction fees. 

I request your assistance in determining the validity of Bank of America 's claims and any available recourse to ensure timely access to my deposited funds. The recurring holds and inconsistent explanations have caused significant financial strain and inconvenience. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Rossi Law Offices, Ltd
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I first received notice of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX, RI, attempt to collect a debt owed from XXXX in XXXX, by way of a letter sent to an old address that was then forwarded to me. At that time they had already charged 2x the principal in interest. Before this I suspect they had called me repeatedly, often daily, sometimes more than once per day, but never left a voicemail regarding what the call was about, or attempted to communicate in any other fashion, other than calling me from random phone numbers, often Rhode Island numbers, and again, never leaving a voicemail. I never picked up any of the calls because I did not know who was calling at the time. Upon receiving the first letter, after it was forwarded to me, I was already told I owed twice the original amount. It was also for something that I believe I paid, however any records I produced they said were insufficient to discharge the debt. I asked for them to reduce the interest, the declined. In XXXX I moved out of the state of Rhode Island and no longer had a vehicle registered there. I ultimately paid the amount in full to avoid reprisals, because they threatened in a second letter they would use anything I gave them against me to enforce the debt. There were two separate bills, both from the XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX from XXXX for {$670.00} ( principal : {$370.00} ) and one from XXXX for {$600.00} ( principal : {$350.00} ). The first letter I received was in XXXX or XXXX or XXXX, I called them shortly after receiving the letter. The second letter was received in XXXX of XXXX. I attempted to make a payment on XX/XX/XXXX, my credit card was charged for the full amount of {$1200.00}, however their system still says it has not been paid.
