Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> BMO Harris Bank suddenly and without warning placed a restriction on my business checking accounts, which has frozen access to all my funds. I maintain multiple business accounts with the bank, and this action was taken without explanation or prior notice. 

I have made multiple calls to the bank seeking answers. Not only has BMO refused to provide any meaningful explanation, but on several occasions, representatives have hung up on me when I pressed for details. I have been told only to wait a month, which is unacceptable under the circumstances. 

I have provided extensive documentation to support the legitimacy of the deposit in question, including : A signed work authorization and pay directive A screenshot of payment confirmation from the insurance company The official supplement of record and estimate of record Despite this, the bank has taken no action to resolve the matter. As a result, I am unable to pay employees, cover operating expenses, or meet personal obligations. I am at risk of losing both my business location and my home due to missed payments. The financial and emotional toll is enormous, and this situation is entirely due to the banks failure to act responsibly and communicate.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I received XXXX Direct Parent Plus loans for my daughter, XXXX XXXX, in the fall of XXXX. She graduated in the Spring of XXXX. In the months leading up to the start of repayment, I received no outreach from Aidvantage, the servicer of these loans. Once the first due date had come and gone, I still received no outreach. Even as my loans became 90 days delinquent, I got no calls, no email, nothing via regular mail. 

I only learned of the delinquency from an alert on my personal credit report. I called Aidvantage immediately, got the details and brought the loan current. I also confirmed that they had my cell phone number, email address and mailing address. I requested copies of the documents they had sent and/or other correspondence they had attempted, but was told I could not receive them. 

I asked that they reconsider reporting my accounts as delinquent and was told that was not an option. So I am now taking additional steps to request that my accounts be updated with all credit reporting bureaus to show that they have never been late, due to a complete lack of correspondence to alert me that payment was coming due or that payment ( XXXX ) had been missed. 

I still have never received anything from Aidvantage regarding these loans via any avenue of outreach.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
