Complaint narrative:
Bank Of America listed an offer for the BankAmericard Cash Rewards Card. In order to entice me to apply for this card, the card benefits offered were : {$0.00} annual fee ; {$100.00} online cash rewards bonus offer ; 1 % cash back on every purchase, 2 % at grocery stores and now at wholesale clubs and 3 % on gas for the first {$2500.00} in combined grocery/wholesale club/gas purchases each quarter Calculate rewards Cash Rewards Low Introductory APR offer Show details Cash Rewards Get a 10 % customer bonus every time you redeem into a Bank of America ( R ) checking or savings account. If you 're a Preferred Rewards Cash Rewards client you can increase that bonus to 25 % or more. 

I applied for the card and logged into Bank Of America 's website to check on the card and noticed that I was charged a {$39.00} annual fee. I contacted Bank Of America and was advised by a rep that the they could not remove the {$39.00} fee and that the card also did not include the {$100.00} online cash rewards bonus offer. The Bank Of America rep advised that this was based on a credit decision. 
However, the whole purpose of me applying for that particular cash back card over other credit card offers was because of the {$0.00} annual fee offer and the {$100.00} online cash rewards bonus offer. Bank Of America did a bait and switch, offered services for signing up on the card, then issued the card, and refused to abide by the terms of the offer, arguing that its based on credit decision. Well, I was approved, and in fact issued a credit card, the same credit card I applied for. Therefore, the offers should have accompanied that card. Instead, bank of america ran my credit, reducing my credit score, knowing that they were not offering those benefits on the card.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
The student loan company, Navient, capitalized interest on my account after graduation and the XXXX month grace period. Also, Navient failed to properly acknowledge and timely process by annual renewal for the XXXX plan. I sent several emails and called numerous times that all are documented for this to process. Nonetheless, Navient capitalized my interest again because they finally realized it was their mistake and processing. They did reverse the capitalization. In addition, my payments are not going towards principle but towards unpaid interest. I should be allowed to allocate my auto payments towards all principle first. By not allowing this, Navient and the governement are receiving more compensation for the interest accrued.

Issue: Balance transfer — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America charged interest even though I paid the non promotional balance in full. When I took the promotional transfer they explained that the minimum payment would be allocated to the lowest finance charged balance, in this case the promotional transfer. Therefore I would have to pay the minimum balance plus the entire activity balance in order to avoid paying interest. They claimed to disclose that if I used the card for purchases that even if I paid the minimum plus the monthly activity in full that I would still be subject to {$1.00} minimum finance charge. I do not believe that this notification was made to me. How could I understand the intricacies of how the payments are allocated and not understand that if I chose to use the card while I have a promotional balance that I would pay a fee regardless of paying of the monthly purchase balance in full. I can no longer use this card for purchases without incurring a minimum finance charge of {$1.00} as long as a have a promotional balance.

Complaint narrative:
I was left a message by a " courier company '' about documents that supposedly had been left at an office and I need to call about. or they were going to call for legal action. If I did n't contact them by end of the day, they would come to my work or home. When I called, I got a mediation company, who then said they were transferring me to some legal firm. The person mumbled a name and when I asked him again, he would n't repeat it. I was then sent to some kind of a legal specialist..that was the XXXX person I talked to. They said it was too late to do anything, they were filing papers to take me to court, that I was more valuable that way. They said it was a debt from a credit card not paid on, and it was too old to dispute it, so I had to pay today, and agree to give them money. I could n't even get a clear idea of what they wanted from me, then they said I needed to authorize an amount to give them and give them a credit card number or check number. Still unclear of what the debt was or proof that it was me, said they were recording me and I had to swear under oath to give them this money. Then another person came on the line, saying I had to agree to the money right now, then the whole conversation went nasty. Started calling me names, told me I was a piece of XXXX, said they were coming to my home, belittled me for the way I lived my life, started reading off information about my children and how pathetic I was to have debt and how I was no good. He started screaming at me when I would n't give him any money information, kept saying how they were going to take away anything I had and freeze all my accounts, then said if I did n't agree to pay him now, I would end up in court and said I was more valuable that way..he would n't stop calling me names. He kept coming up with different numbers to pay him, and kept taunting me to make an offer that it was recorded and that I was swearing to pay that amount. I was given no ID, no full name, I do n't even know this was for me. I finally got him to admit someone had bought this debt and he was trying to get money for it, and said I was garbage for not being responsible.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Recently contacted Navient to ask what the " Unpaid Accrued Interest '' was that was recently applied on the account. I have been making the payments on the account for the last two/three years, and it should not have had any missed or unpaid interest on the account. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX ( XXXX ) about the {$94.00} that was added back to my account under the line item described as " Unpaid Accrued Interest '' on an account summary letter. 

After looking into the account, he identified the original balance financed and that the account was on a payment/interest reduction plan back in XXXX and XXXX. He explained the interest is coming from the interest reduction plan and added as " Unpaid Accrued Interest '' and added back to the loan. 

When I asked if they ( Navient ) were trying to make up for the lost interest while the account was on an interest reduction plan. He replied, " Yes ''. 

He offered his advise to refinance at a lower interest rate ( currently at 11.25 % ) or suggested that the borrower and myself pay-off the loan. 

It is my understanding that an interest reduction plan should be for that period of time and after that plan is complete, the consumer should n't get penalized for the plan by adding the lost interest back to the loan. Otherwise, why offer or have the option of these types of plans, if the company is going to try and get the money back from the consumer anyway.

Complaint narrative:
Hi - I am writing to complain about false advertising regarding a promotion to open a CitiGold Checking account. In XXXX I was offered a promotion via mail that I would receive XXXX AA Advantage Points ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is worth around {$500.00} ) if I opened a CitiGold Checking account using code XXXX which was entered upon opening the account online. After enrolling with the promotion code, I contacted Citi and received confirmation that the offer was attached to my account. I then met the requirements that I spend {$1000.00} in purchases during first 60 days and set up XXXX qualifying Bill Pay. 

I also confirmed with Citi representatives both that I met qualifications to be enrolled in the offer ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and that I had completed the requirements and should be receiving the points within 90 days of completing the requirements ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). I have PDF 'd records of these chat conversations but threw out the original targeted offer. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I reached out via chat saying that my points have not posted and wanted to confirm I would be receiving them. I was told that an investigation will be opened. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a letter stating that my account promotional offer would not be given because there was not a targeted offer on my account even though I confirmed via call/chat that I was eligible for the offer and had met the requirements. I called Citi back and spoke to a manager that said that they would open another investigation and I would hear back by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It is past that point and I have not yet heard back. 

I have called numerous times and got nothing but a run-around. They have not acknowledged that if I was not going to receive a bonus it should have been communicated to me during numerous confirmations about the offer. It has been weeks of dealing with this and I am very disappointed that Citi would mislead and treat their customers in this manner. I have been a customer since XXXX and if this is not handled appropriately I will pursue it further with litigation and no longer do business with this company ever again. 

I appreciate any help the CFPB can offer to resolve this issue in a timely and satisfactorily manner. I can provide PDFs of the chat records if need be. 

Thanks, XXXX
