Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
About one month ago I called BofA hardship department and was treated rudely by a customer service rep. Instead of listening to my concerns, he just repeated his script that interest is assessed after the promotion ends and that is the contract. After about five minutes of this- he finally understood I was asking for the hardship program. He asked a few questions, then stated I did not qualify - although I already have another account with BofA on the program. He recommened I go to credit counseling. 
I filed a complaint with the XXXX that same week and after a week or so was finally contacted by phone from BofA corporate offices. I was told they will review my request and get back to me. I just received today XX/XX/XXXX a denial notice from BofA for my request. My balance is only {$4600.00}. I replied today to BofA that this denial was unacceptable and illogical. I have already filed multiple complaints with BofA because their attitude is the customer doesn't matter and they would rather see me default on the account. I have never missed a payment on any debt owed. I have no problem paying the balance owed, I am just making what should be a reasonable request to place the account on a lower interest program, just as they did with my other account I have with BofA.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

My account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 in to be removed.

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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).
