Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I 've had a Bank of America credit card account opened for the past three years, with an available line of XXXX dollars. Now recently, I 've had financial hardship. Hardships including Foreclosure on my parent 's home ( I still live at home since I 'm a full time college student ), an immediate family member in the hospital, and myself having to pay out of pocket for tuition. So overall, what had happened was I fell behind on my credit cards. I 've made arrangements on every single one, assuring I would n't be charged off. Out of the XXXX I have, Bank of America was the only one that essentially mislead me. I called on XXXX XXXX, telling them I was going to pay off my past due balance in full on XXXX XXXX. Their response? " No problem! I 'll make note on your account ''. So I figure that 's a good thing, right? Next thing I know, it 's XXXX XXXX and I ca n't log into my credit card account. I called the branch thinking it was just a technical issue, and they told me I was charged off the very next day? When I had arrangements? I told the representative that I had documented arrangements, and she told me she could see them. However it was n't " the right department '' that filed these arrangements, therefore could still give them the authority to charge me off. That 's just bad customer service, and if the wrong department made these arrangements, why give them the authority to look up my credit card information and essentially give me misleading assistance? I 'm very upset. I 'm XXXX years old, and now I have a charge off on my account ( that they refuse to reverse, since it 's 'out of their hands ' ). I need a solution to this, because I feel as if this was completely wrong. I ca n't say if this is illegal or not, I 'm not that aware of credit card laws. But this is n't right - XXXX person telling me what I did is sufficient to get my credit card back on track, and then the next day someone telling me rudely that I was n't responsive. Yes I was - I called the branch. That 's responsive.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have roughly $ XXXX of Student Loan debt, $ XXXX of which is Private through Navient. All of my loans are cosigned by my XXXX year old grandmother who lives on Social Security benefits month to month and makes a yearly income of - XXXX ( she dips into savings every year ). My mother has cosigned XXXX of these loans for {$11000.00}. She too makes little ( she works for XXXX XXXX ) and is currently fighting a foreclosure suit on our childhood home ( my dad passed away in 2012 but prior to his passing, he took out a home equity loan for {$140000.00} - now my mom is stuck with this loan, even though she never signed the agreement and is a co-owner of the home - that 's another story ). She has a 401k. 

Navient will not let me lower my monthly payments because both of my cosigners show as eligible to pay the full amount of the loan. I am on a XXXX year plan right now but I need to extend to at least XXXX. After pestering and talking to the supervisor at Navient, I found that my cosigners are deemed eligible to make payments on the loans because they have assets - they are both homeowners and have retirement savings. I applied with XXXX XXXX to consolidate my loans and they will not work with me because I have too much credit out currently, even with a cosigner. I feel trapped and scared and horrified and I do n't know what to do. Do you have any advice?

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I graduated in 2010 and could not find a job in my field right away and could not afford the payments with XXXX, then my loans were transferred to Navient. With Navient I got a new billing system and a new website and they put me at I wanted to make payments but was told I could just go into forbearances until I was able to pay the amounts. I wanted to make payments but simply could n't afford the rates they wanted so I went into forbearance multiple times. I recently had a discussion with a co worked who has student loans through Navient and she had the same complaints I did and expressed the same feeling of never being able to pay them off. I am finally at a job where I am getting a steady income and now I am paying as much as I can. I then had an issue where the company I work for could not pay me on time so I wanted to make a payment but was n't sure when it would withdraw. The lady I spoke to recommended a short forbearance and mentioned that the principle would go up. still. This is the first time I can ever recollect being informed of this. I then got to looking and noticed that yes even though I am paying $ XXXX a month my overall balance is only going down maybe {$4.00} a month. If I had known before that my principle would still go up I would have found another way to pay ( like I wanted too ) instead of going into forbearance so many times like they recommended. I work XXXX hours a week and want to pay my debt off but it seems impossible at this point and I do not understand why a company would work against people who are trying their hardest to pay their loans off.

Complaint narrative:
In 2008 I contacted Bank of America for a refinance on my primary residenc. After some lengthy discussion I was advised of a HAMP program that would allow me to lower payments. After further explanation by BofA I was told that in order to qualify for this modification I would have to make payments less than required to be included in this plan. I initially refused as my credit was great and would n't want to damage it. The representative then assured me that they would block my credit reporting so that I could qualify ( received this in writing ). After retiring this in writing I accepted, signed paperwork, made the lowered payments as required for 3 months, and was told my the same representative that I was approved for permanent plan. Around 6 months later my credit began taking negative hits for late/missing payments. I reached out to the represent ice who assured me it would be fixed, 4 months later, still getting dinged on credit report. Now almost 8 years later they continue to report my mortgage delinquent and have ignored my emails, calls trying to hold someone accountable for their deceptive and unfair trickery. I have several emails/ documents showing their explicit deception and how I was let to believe I was approved and credit blocked only to be lied to and now they want to for lose on my home and hold me accountable for almost XXXX in law fees when they LIED to me and tricked me. Please help me hold someone accountable there.

Complaint narrative:
We previously submitted complaint XXXX with our mortgage company Bank of America in XXXX 2015. We received a response, had a new Customer Service Manager assigned and were told to continue to make payments since our account was not foreclosed. We have not missed a payment in 6 months. We were also advised that if we had a change in circumstances, we should contact our manager to discuss alternate options available. To this date, I have attempted on multiple occasions to reach XXXX XXXX or someone in his office and have received no return calls. We received a letter today stating our account was being referred to foreclosure. Again, I called XXXX XXXX to call to discuss this letter and received his voicemail. I am extremely frustrated by the lack of communication we received prior to opening this letter. No additional options or attempts to contact us from their end were made.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America closed my account in XX/XX/2014 ( I think ) and placed a suspected fraud/ theft on my name in XXXX making it hard to obtain a bank account with any other banks. I reached out to them on several occasions to have this resolved or investigated and have n't heard anything bank. I spoke with a branch manger on several different occasions and she has called the fraud department and all they tell her is that it is being investigated. They sent me my transaction history showing the money in my account and then coming out but I questioned the check that was deposited, how was it deposited, who deposited the check, how was it cashed, when and by whom. Nobody could tell me anything. I reached out to the company that they say furnished the check to verify that I have no type of business dealings with them or accounts. This company stated that they have nothing to do with myself and they do n't know anything of this check. Bank of America has be so called investigating this far to long. I 've even sent them my police report that I obtained back in XX/XX/XXXX for Identity theft after I found out that someone else had accounts in my name that I found out about after pulling my credit reports. They still have yet to reach back out to me or respond in any kind of way.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a phone call from my Bank of America case representative in regards to my complaint about receiving an incorrect XXXX tax form. The Rep XXXX XXXX stated that BOA reviewed my interest payments and my XX/XX/XXXX XXXX form was indeed correct. I told her she has been misinformed and she was incorrect. She kept going on about a partial claim which has nothing to do with interest paid. She advised me to wait on the paperwork she was sending via mail with the breakdown. However, I informed her I already received a breakdown from BOA regarding my payment and interest transactions on XX/XX/XXXX. In that document it shows each monthly payment and interest paid for XX/XX/XXXX which totaled in {$10000.00} of interest paid for XX/XX/XXXX. Now if this document was sent to me by BOA themselves, then how are they now contradicting themselves and saying the original XXXX of $ XXXX is correct? 

Instead of the representative listening to me and awknowledging the fact that i didnt need to waste time waiting another week or more since I already received a breakdown from BOA, she just totallly dismissed me. I 've attached the interest breakdown from BOA 's own documentation they sent me from the cited case number as well as the incorrect XXXX form. This needs to be taken care of immediately as it ia almost the deadline for taxes and I have been dealing with this since early XX/XX/XXXX!! 

In addition to this matter, I have not heard anything on my dispute of the cited case number regarding the " missing payments '' that BOA XXXX XXXX, on behalf of XXXX XXXX stated the cited case numbers response to me. I supplied documentation prooving that I never missed a mortgage payment except when BOA directed me to. I have attached those documents as well.

Complaint narrative:
When my mortgage was with Bank of America ( B of A ) I had a letter that said I may qualify for a mortgage modification. I then called B of A for more details and was told if I did this it would not have any serious negative effects on my credit. I advised I would try and do this and filled out all the paperwork time and time again but seemed to be getting nowhere. Every time I called I had to talk with different people before they would put me through to the person handling my case. There were times it took days to reach the person I needed to speak with. I was told or it was implied that if I was behind on payments my request would go through more quickly and probably be approved so I asked again if I did this would my credit be affected and was told it would not. Therefore, I got behind on my payments but nothing changed and I kept getting the run around so I caught up my payments at one time and told them I wanted nothing more to do with getting a modification which I had to do repeatedly. Finally they sent me a letter denying the modification. That was the first and only time I had late payments of any kind. B of A did not keep their word and dinged my credit anyway. 
I have disputed this with all XXXX credit reporting agencies and have also been in touch with our consumer advocate group " Let XXXX know '' on XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Arizona and have been advised by them to file with the reporting agencies and then contact B of A and ask them to do the right thing by having this blemish taken off my record. I will also report it to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).
