Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I arrived at work and received an email from Bank of America that my account balance was low. I opened the email to find {$2100.00} was taken out of my account within minutes, creating a ( - {$55.00} ) balance on my checking account. I immediately contacted Bank of America to report the XXXX transactions ( {$800.00}, {$800.00}, and {$500.00} ) as fraud. Bank of America said it would take XXXX business days for them to investigate and make a determination on my case. I am very upset at this institution because none of the transactions were stopped or checked for fraud, all three transactions were approved by Bank of America without any hesitation. So now I am out of money for the next 10 days if they even decide to give me my money back. This is ridiculous and completely unacceptable that they just let XXXX transactions totaling over {$2100.00} be approved within such a short time period be approved without any fraud protection.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

My bank said that I should file a complaint because what they are doing is not fair. They are collecting money that is not owed! You are forced to pay a bill that is not accurate nor due otherwise your credit suffers for years. They are very rude on the phone. I explained at the time there was an issue with insurance, it was corrected and these were removed. They are giving me zero options expect for to pay the amount. There are 1000 's of complaints against this company for filing collections that are not accurate and now people are stuck with collections affecting them.

Company: MOHELA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the SAVE plan at the end of XXXX prior to the federal court issuing an injunction preventing many applications to be processed. Since it has been 60 days since my application was received and it has still not been processed, I received a letter that stated that my account could be placed in a general forbearance and " While you are in this forbearance no payment is required on your account and your interest rate will be set to 0 %. This means no interest will accrue while you are in the forbearance. '' I then received another letter from my servicer stating that my account is still accruing interest which left me confused. I called my XXXX  many times ( a week ago, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) to have my account placed into the general forbearance that does not accrue interest and have received incorrect information that the interest on my account is going to be retroactively removed. The Department of Education website states as well that I should be allowed to be placed in the interest-free forbearance after 60 days of my application not being processed. It has been very frustrating to receive incorrect information every time I call and no one is able to help me. I have XXXX  that are in a similar situation and were able to get their accounts placed in the general forbearance so I know it is possible.
