Product: Debt collection — Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2016 both my XXXX and Bank of America checking accounts was charged for by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Office for a legal judgement that I owed. Since XXXX accounts were debited at the same time I was overcharged for the debt. I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX Office to complain that more money was taken than what was owed. The XXXX Office told me that they had to wait for XXXX checks to be mailed to the XXXX XXXX Office and then I would be issued a refund for the over-payment. When I called to check on the status the XXXX Office informed me that Bank of America had not sent in the check they collected. I when I spoke to Bank of America they claimed the check had been sent in XXXX so I called the XXXX Office again and they told me that Bank of America only has 15 days by law to send in the check to their office and they had still not received it. I have called Bank of America several times since XXXX and each time I call I 'm told that they will cancel the check and reissue another check but it will take three months. However each time I have called no action has been taken and the representatives argues with me and gives me the sames scripted response that the XXXX Office needs to take action. The XXXX Office has been very clear about the laws and what Bank of America is supposed to do. Furthermore Bank of America is actually the company that the judgement was for so obvious that are fully aware that the judgement has been overpaid. Bank of America owes me {$1400.00} which they have kept in limbo since XXXX and we are now headed into XXXX. Please have Bank of America release my money or I will have to file a lawsuit.

Complaint narrative:
The mortgage company is constantly raising the mortgage payment, sometimes without notice, sending back the mortgage payment - sometimes because it is n't received for the month due ( will be for month of XXXX and will receive on XXXX XXXX ) - and sometimes because it was n't full amount ( would have raised the monthly payment with no notice so was sending in last KNOWN payment amount ), and adding payment rules and regulations with no written statement or letter of notification.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have a Home Equity Loan Account that has been Reported as Charged off, but the Bank has filed a Certificate of Satisfaction with the Deeds of Record in response to a law suit filed XX/XX/XXXX, I had XXXX before the Complaint was heard and had n't been made aware of the Document filed until it was brought to my attention during or after an Adjudication of my Security Clearance with DoD while I was XXXX in XXXX in XXXX. This has been reported adversely since XX/XX/XXXX and the balance was paid since XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent a Waiver for this XXXX account on XX/XX/XXXX, but it was sent the property address in XXXX North Carolina, and I never received it. I am not going to sign any waiver for this XXXX account, because I have been trying to get the SCRA Violations resolved for almost 10 years now, so I do n't know why Bank of America has suddenly decided to send me this waiver for a Settlement with the DOJ on XX/XX/XXXX. I was n't able to proceed in the Court case, because on XX/XX/XXXX I was issued Mobilization Orders to XXXX to XXXX and was n't apart of any of the DOJ cases for SCRA, but have been dealing with the backlash ever since. I have had to document every account filed adversely for the past 10 years as part of the Adjudication for my ability to maintain my Security Clearance, but now the issue is why I have n't been apart of the DOJ Settlements involving my accounts ... I had n't contacting the DOJ and they have n't been in contact with me, until recently ... but I simply want the adverse information removed permanently and a written response from Bank of America stating that it has been removed.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I received an online offer from Bank Of America in XX/XX/XXXX /XX/XX/XXXX that if I open a checking account and had XXXX direct deposits within 90 days of account opening I will get {$100.00} bonus. So I opened this account and made changes to my direct deposit and split it such that {$400.00} would go each month into BofA checking account. By XX/XX/XXXX I received the welcome kit from BofA and it also had a letter saying my XXXX direct deposits had to be made by XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, for me to get the bonus. This made me happy cause XXXX had not made the first deposit to BofA in XX/XX/XXXX due to paper work processing. So my XXXX direct deposits were made by XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX, but BofA keeps dilly dallying to pay my {$100.00} bonus. I have called 4 times so far. The second time the agent told me I would get the bonus, but when I did not by XX/XX/XXXX end, I called and have called twice since, they say decision is pending. They said they will remail me the welcome letter for me to see what it said, never did. I am very sorry I ca n't find the welcome letter, looks like it got thrown out with trash. But I did get that letter from them and in any case I got my direct deposit set up and did all that I was required to do for the bonus. I read online they make such offers, and mostly try not to honor them. Supposedly, BofA is infamous for this. This seems unfair.

I have been struggling financially for years to pay my loans. I originally called XXXX XXXX at the time, and was advised that I could either do a deferment or forbearance.

We have an old second mortgage with bank of america that was DISCHARGED in a chapter XXXX bankruptcy.

We owe much much more on the home than value even the first mortgage ( owe {$190000.00} first mortgage house worth {$160000.00} ) so we do n't understand bofa and why they want to have us make payments. The first mortgage is helping but bofa is very uncooperative.

My student signature private loans through Navient were not deferred in XX/XX/2016 when I returned to college as a full time student without an income. I contacted Navient and was told that I would continue to receive late fees every month if I did not pay my loans. Navient told me there was no way to defer that particular loan or any options to reduce my payments. I have had perfect credit up until this recent issue.

Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info — Talked to a third party about my debt
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to track down my student loan debt with navient once it moved from under XXXX. Due to awful communication and customer service from Navient, the debt then was moved to collections under General Revenue Corporation. They had an old address that I have not lived at for over 3 1/2 years and were sending letters to that old address which were of course not forwarded anymore. So, they started calling everyone and anyone they felt was associated with me. They had my phone number and email correct just the wrong mailing address. I find it harassing and professionally embarrassing that they were calling people who I do n't even know that they had marked as " possible associate '' on their call list. They finally called collegue over at the White House, at the EOP, how mortifying! He emailed me today about it and I resolved the issue with General Revenue Corporation. I am going through my security clearance renewal and have an upstanding reputation in my Federeal community and this is just, very very unnerving. I feel that General Revenue Corporation overstepped all boundries in acceptable methods of contact, calling people I do n't even know and collegues I rarely see. My current address is easy to find online and via DMV and public records. I went through this very long list of people that GRC had on my file as " possible contacts '' and did n't even know some of them! Creditors should not me randomly calling people who may not even know you or who may only be professional colleagues to try and contact you regarding debt. It is inappropriate and harassing behavior that can also lead to negative professional ramifications. 
I 'm happy to provide a dozen contacts as long as creditors like General Revenue Corporation do n't make up a random list on their own using whatever random methods and call professional colleagues at the White House. Especially when they can find my current address easily as a matter of public record.

Had a business credit card with Bank of America and my business went under. Having trouble paying minimum and was being harassed by bank. Finally a BoA collection person convinced me to allow them to withdraw {$100.00} per month from my account each month. Trying to get a statement for over six months now and can not get anyone to help me. Twice I have been told they will Mail a statement, to no avail. I now owe over {$2000.00} more than I did when they started withdrawing and I want to pay it off but can not get anyone to tell me how to do that and what payoff amount is. Who do I contact? BofA tells me it she no longer in their system. The number they gave me - they do n't help me. What can I do?

Complaint narrative:
Bank of america charged a late fees ( XXXX ) and interest of ( XXXX ) on XXXX missed payment of ( XXXX ) .. I called and got the late fees reversed and paid off all the purchases ( XXXX ) ... I was under the impression they would reverse the interest charges but it turns out they did not. I did not look at the account after that as I did not make any new purchases. To my shock i saw my credit score drop by XXXX points due to XXXX day past due balance of XXXX on this account ... when I looked at the statements I found Bofa charged {$1.00} per month on the outstanding interest of $ XXXX two months..this on an APR basis is more than 120 % ... .I can afford to pay this and that is not my problem ... but my problem is with these hidden minimum interest charges which result in such high APRs ... even though the disclosures state the maximum they charge on a delinquent account is 29.99 % ... there has to be some rule against this loop hole where banks can charge interest over interest ... at rates that are so high ... this can impact a lot of vulnerable people who do not understand this. This applies to the whole credit card industry .... 
I called Bofa XXXX times today to resolve this but they did not reverse the interest charges. I guess this is all covered in disclosures but there needs to be some common sense built in.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX we filed a chapter XXXX bankruptcy in order to try to keep our home after credit card companies increased their minimum payments by 2 1/2 times what they 'd been being. I simply could n't pay that much of an increase and when I attempted to work with the companies their answer was I had no opt out option on what the payments would be. I had years and years of perfect pay history but simply could n't go from an {$800.00} a month payment to a {$2500.00} a month payment. So the bankruptcy was n't a really my choice ... I had no other option..In XXXX my husband became ill and could no longer work and I had to take a cut in pay due to the economy having such a negative impact on the company I worked for. I contacted Bank of American in an attempt to modify my loan but was told that because we were in the Chapter XXXX there was n't anything that could be done. Since I only made {$35000.00} a year it obviously would be impossible to keep a home that payments and insurance was over {$30000.00} a year. At that point the home was surrendered back to Bank of American. Up until that point we 'd never paid a late payment on that home and had lived there for 11 years. In around the first part of XXXX XXXX notified us that they had acquired our mortgage and all future payments were to be made to them. I immediately contacted them and Bank of America trying to explain that this was all handled throught the courts in XXXX. Bank of America said they did n't have to abide by any such order. XXXX continued to pursue us for payment. Finally after several months XXXX ceased to call. In XXXX XXXX the home sold through XXXX. Reported on my credit bureau file was that I had a foreclosure through XXXX dated XXXX XXXX. So obviously this had an impact on my credit score and any hopes of me getting another home for at least 3 years. I attempted to get them to understand that they should have NEVER had anything on us because the BOA debt was discharged by the bankruptcy but they said that was n't true. I 've sent copies of the modification letter and judge signed document to both banks.. to no avail. So in an attempt to get into a modest home I have this hanging over my head as having just happened in XXXX. So I asked for help through XXXX. The result was a XXXX point drop in my credit score because XXXX shows that our payment history was over 120 days late with payments. When I referred this information to my attorney I was assured that Judge XXXX order was sufficient and I did not need to be concerned. XXXX response to XXXX was that it was THEIR loan and we never paid on time.. PLEASE help get this resolved. I 'd like to have a home again one day.
