Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
When a BOA Credit Card customer is late on one or more payments, Bank of America directs customers to use their " XXXXXXXX XXXX '' and proprietary internal " Tell us your financial picture '' tool. Both the XXXX XXXX and Financial tool appear to be elaborate traps. The tool asks the status of your current financial challenges. This includes the check boxes for : |X| '' High Debt Level '' |X| " Reduction of Income '' |X| " Increased unexpected living expenses '' How long do you anticipate your hardship to be? 
( 0 ) Six months or less ( 0 ) More than six months Enter your net income ( {$0.00} ), annually or monthly? 

The tool either has a major calculation flaw, or is setup with unreasonable expectations. Despite seeing that a customer currently has no funds, and no income, it produces a " settlement offer '' which will cut the customers debt by 50 %, but only if the customer provides large payments within a 3-month window of time.
