For the THIRD month in a row, I am opening a complaint with you over Bank of America. I made a deposit of one check today, XX/XX/2024, for {$10000.00}.

See my attached receipts with hold information Again, the account is new, BUT I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR OVER 33 years!!! 

The checks I deposit are from the same client, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. So they have cashed 3 of their checks so far. This is the 4th.Clearly, the client has no problem with me cashing them!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I've been receiving phone calls starting at XXXXXXXX XXXX. back to back multiple times I believe I counted as many as six calls before XXXXXXXX XXXX, when I answer the phone no one will speak I can hear background noise and voices in the background but no one ever acknowledges that I answered the phone. I have called to complain but they say initially they have not called until I say that I am making notes of this and have the call logs and are going to submit a complaint to consumer Finance protection bureau, then suddenly they are aware of the calls and sight technical issues or some other unknown issue. The phone calls however do not slow nor do they stop not speaking when I answer the phone. I have been receiving XXXX XXXX over the past few months, I do not believe that it is this company that is sending them, but when you receive XXXX XXXX alongside phone calls where no one will speak constantly it becomes unnerving and unsettling quickly. I have made my agreements known with the company to no avail and I'm now reaching out to my government for help. Is there anything that can be done about this? And should I contact an attorney about the harassment? I am afraid and unaware of what steps to take next about this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will gladly give the call log history upon request because I think I have to pay to get a detailed list going back that far. Thank you have a nice day.

There is some inaccurate or False information on the XXXX XXXX with the account number XXXX that is reporting on my credit report. 

First, this is a closed account, but this account is not reporting the date this account was closed. 
Second, the Balance ( {$20000.00} ) is bigger than the High balance ( {$10000.00} ) This is because there was a fraudulent charge made on this account. 
Third, The Payment History does not report a XXXX days late before this account was Charge off by the account provider. 

This situation is affecting all my financial life.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I've been attempting to enroll the account in to Auto-pay after removing it to change banking information in XXXX. The auto-pay system is apparently a manual entry once an online request is made, but there is no indication on the account that there is a pending or existing auto-pay setup. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I was told verbally by a representative that auto-pay applications could take up to 60 days meaning that my enrollment that I received email confirmation for on XX/XX/XXXX wouldn't become active until the payment date of XX/XX/XXXX. This delay is note accurately communicated as the email from XX/XX/XXXX states an estimated payment start date of XX/XX/XXXX ( the next billing date ). 

The representative told me that I would only receive a confirmation of auto-pay enrollment once the request is processed and that the 0.25 % rate discount wouldn't be in place until then. They also stated that manual payments would need to be facilitated until auto-pay is activated. This is not being communicated on any pages of the servicer 's website or on emails. 

This appears to be an intentional delay in processing auto-pay request, something which could be automated. A delay in this means delays in payments which could cause fees and additional interest and also delays the interest rate reduction required by all federal student loan servicers.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year, I purchased a laptop computer from XXXX XXXX and utilized your credit card service for installment payments with zero interest charges. I made timely payments for the first two installments, as evidenced by the enclosed documents dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2023. 
However, unknowingly, these payments were directed towards my old XXXX XXXX account. 

Upon being informed of the mistake, I contacted XXXX XXXX, and their representative attempted to transfer the payments to my current account, number ending XXXX Unfortunately, due to system limitations, they were unable to process the transfer and instead issued a refund check to me for the total amount of {$110.00}, dated XX/XX/2023. Subsequently, I promptly reissued the payment to the correct account on XX/XX/2023, in the same amount. 

I was explicitly assured by XXXX XXXX representatives that this incident would not impact my credit rating due to the error being rectified. However, to my dismay, I observed my credit report drastically decline from XXXX to XXXX following the reporting of two delinquencies XXXX XXXX Upon contacting XXXX XXXX again, I was informed that they were unable to rectify the information provided to the credit reporting agencies, despite assurances of resolution within 40 days. The subsequent letter received on XX/XX/XXXX was equally disheartening, confirming the inability to amend the reported data. 

Enclosed are all necessary documents, including copies of the refund check, subsequent payment, and evidence of the initial timely payments, to support my appeal. This discrepancy has adversely affected my career prospects, impeding my ability to secure employment in an industry where I have accumulated over 30 years of experience. 

I urge you to help rectify this grave error promptly and restore my credit to its prior standing before this unfortunate incident. I implore for corrective action to be taken swiftly to alleviate the unjust ramifications on my credit rating, as I am striving to resolve this issue amicably without resorting to legal involvement.
