Complaint narrative:
I am re filing my complaint, previously complaint # XXXX. Bank of America {$3000.00} charge on XX/XX/2016. I feel that my bank did not investigate properly, because I did send them a letter explaining my situation, before the due date, all the facts and a copy of the email that I sent to the company on XX/XX/XXXX requesting my refund, just 3 months after the charges, which they did not respond, just like all the phone calls that they ignored, I tried to get the money back directly from the merchant, but I am unable to reach them. I have been following the process but even my bank that is supposed to protect me is giving me the run around, and taking the merchant 's side, a fraudulent company that scammed me, they sold me services and never answered the phone after I showed them my dissatisfaction. What kind of company does that? 


Bank of America sent me a letter stating that they are unable to assist with my inquiry, they are stating that they were unable to determine that billing error occurred. I want to stress that this matter is NOT a billing error I authorized the charges, but XXXX did not provide the services that I was led to believe I was purchasing. They offered me online services, advertising for my website and training, nothing was done and I can not get them on the phone for nothing. Bank of America is saying that they did not receive documentation stating that I attempted to resolve my dispute, I sent a copy of my email requesting my refund. 


They are also requesting the following : '' a valid second opinion letter, on business letterhead and signed by a second qualified merchant. The letter needed to specifically state that the service performed by the first merchant was n't completed or was done incorrectly, and detail how it was done incorrectly. It should have included the steps needed to correct the work, along with an estimate showing the cost to complete the job as per the original contract or invoice. " Bank of America is requesting an impossible task. How Am I supposed to find a company that would take this type of liability? Who would do that? I guess Bank of America is a scam just like XXXX, or otherwise they would protect my rights as a consumer, a victim of a fraudulent company that disappeared after I paid them. If XXXX were a legitimate company they would be trying to work something with me, instead of ignoring my requests. They do not have any type of customer service or support. 


Please investigate this charge and help me get my money back. Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
I have a Student loan I got through XXXX College in XXXX. It went into collections, after it went into collections they said that I could qualify for a lower payment. I did that and got a lower payment but it was only for XXXX payments that it was lower. I could not pay the amount that they were wanting so I asked about a lower payment. they said they would send me information and a form to fill out to get a lower payment, I never seen one I called in a week after they said that they would send it and they said that they were sorry they would resend it. I have not received anything from the company about a lower payment and now the loan is probably in collections again. I am tired of calling and trying to get this form when I hear the same thing over and over ( we are sorry and we will get that out and you should receive it with in 3-5 business days ). I have been having this issue since I started trying to paying them and I am hoping that I can get this resolved.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America misled me into believing that a duplicate or substitute check would be issued, by them, after the maker decided not to pay it. A check for over $ XXXX was deposited into the ATM. Four days later, or so, I found out the check was reversed only after initiating contact with them. Valuable time was lost during the weeks that they misled me and this is compounded by the fact that no written notice with the check copy was received until a few days ago. This check/property was handed over to the bank, as the customer they owed me specific duties, including the ability to cure any defects with the item.

Complaint narrative:
Due to permanent XXXX, my fully guaranteed student loan was paid in full and discharged. I am on XXXX. Yet, credit scores from XXXX agencies have not changed. XXXX was my loan provider until they changed it to Navient a couple of years ago. As the loan was fully guaranteed and paid in full, my credit score should have improved substantially. So the problem is with the credit reporting agencies and the way Navient reported the payoff.

Complaint narrative:
I am the Co-Executor of my Mothers estate. My Mother had an IRA account with Bank of America. She had this IRA since at least 1992 and always banked at the same small branch in XXXX, Connecticut. The branch was taken over several times between XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX and is now Bank of America. Despite there being XXXX totally consistent beneficiary designations with the predecessor banks being located- XXXX located by Bank of America in its own internal files, Bank of America refuses to honor them -- saying that they will only honor a beneficiary designation directly with them. In addition to the XXXX beneficiary designation forms, I have notes by my mother consistently reasserting that I am the sole beneficiary. 
Also Bank of America has consistently intentional or just negligently given me misleading and false information. The second beneficiary designation was located by them only after they had repeatedly represented that there was No such record. They have also incorrectly ( intentionally or negligently ) represented that there is no detriment since they are willing to pay the IRA to the Estate. The Bank should be aware of the detrimental tax consequence of the payment to an Estate rather than a person beneficiary -- even if ignorant they should at least not make false statements on which their depositors may rely to their detriment. My mother was not a wealthy woman ; she carefully saved her money and meticulously set up her accounts in accordance with her wishes. Yet now, the Bank is looking to VIOLATE her wishes and her accounts! Additionally, since there are other beneficiaries of the residuary estate, clear, contrary to the Bank 's rep payment to the Estate is very different than payment to the individual named beneficiary. 

My mother was already aged XXXX at the time of the Bank of America takeover and XXXX when she died and she consistent banked at the same small branch.The Bank 's position seems to be that that it was somehow her responsibility to make sure that Bank of America still had and did not lose or misplace her Beneficiary Designation. Likely, this is a frequent problem with Bank of America -- the only difference here is the careful records that my mother kept and my relentless pursuit to correct the situation.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I erroneously paid {$1800.00} to Visa credit card account using the Bank of America ( BoA ) online website.This amount was displayed as the amount owed on the drop down menu. After I clicked on the pay button, I realized that {$1800.00} was the amount that I had paid to this credit card last month. {$250.00} was actually the amount that was owed. When the {$1800.00} amount was posted as credit balance to my Visa account on XXXX/XXXX/2016. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I called the BoA XXXX Customer Service number and interacted with an automated assistant that was able to determine my mistake and informed me that my overpayment would be transferred back to my account at BoA from which it was withdrawn. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2016, {$1800.00} was posted to my BoA Visa account as a Credit Balance Refund Debit. 
OnXX/XX/2016, I called the BoA XXXX Customer Service number and asked why {$1800.00} had not been posted to my BoA Checking account from which it came. The BoA assistant answered that it takes 3 to 5 days to complete the transaction. I then asked why it took 3 to 5 days to transfer the money from the card account to the my Checking account but only took 1 day to transfer from my Checking account to my card account. The answer was that BoA had certain procedures. I then asked to speak to a supervisor. When the supervisor got on the phone, I was told that procedure to 3 to 5 days and nothing could be done about that. I then asked to speak to the supervisor 's boss and was told there was no one else available. 
My complaint is that when I make a mistake, it appears in BoA 's favor in a day but it takes 3 to 5 days to correct the the mistake. BoA website prompted the mistake by displaying an erroneous amount. Why was a payment that I had already made still showing as an amount owed. This information is kept on a computer and should updated promptly.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America debited from my checking account a check belonging to a different account holder. My account and the check issuer 's account differ by XXXX digit. The image of the check as shown on my online banking clearly indicate the mistake. I am appalled at the lack of transaction controls at BoA. My checking account did not have sufficient balance to cover the check. A check which I did not issue and did not expect to post to my account! In the process, my account was overdrawn. I called BoA customer support the next day. I was assured the debited account and NSF fees would be refunded in 5-7 business days. During this period, BoA charged me a further {$35.00} as extended overdraft fees! I has been over a month and I am yet to see a refund for the {$35.00} NSF fee and {$35.00} extended overdraft fee. My account is still overdrawn pending refund of these fees which were caused by faulty BoA systems.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My loan is now serviced by Navient. We have been overpaying unknowingly since they changed terms on our loan for quite some time now. I believe they have been taking this money and applying it to future interest, which is essentially stealing, since future interest does n't exist and if I pay my loan early, never see that money again. I am aware they settled a lawsuit for exactly this practice earlier this year, but seem to still be doing it. I want that money either applied to principle, or I want it back. My second complaint is that they took XXXX of our loans and changed the terms, adding 10 years without our consent. There is no phone number to contact them, and an email on the matter went unanswered so there is essentially nothing I can do. Again, I equate this with stealing, as they will be making considerable more interest since extending my loan and it seems I have no power to fix this except hire a lawyer which I think would work, but would be very expensive, and I 'd rather use the money to pay off the loan and get out of business with these crooks as fast as possible.

Complaint narrative:
I tried to cash a check written to me by my husband from his Bank of America checking account. The account had enough money to cover the check to me and the funds were available at the time I tried to cash the check. I asked for the money to be in the form of a cashiers check. BOA refused to cash the check because I do not have a BOA account ; they would not put it in the form of a cashiers check because I do not have an account. The check was for {$27000.00}. They also claimed they did n't have the funds on hand to complete the transaction. This is a very busy branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX MA. I had the check, I had identification and my husband who was traveling for business went to a BOA branch in the state he was in to have their manager call the XXXX manager. They still would not honor the check. After XXXX minutes I left to go back to work and I was out of patience anyway. My husband continued to discuss the matter with the manager of the out of state office and finally the XXXX manager said they would give me a cashiers check if I came back. I could not leave work again to make it back before they closed and I had no desire to deal with them again anyway.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I had a 42 minute conversation with XXXX XXXX about discrepancies I found with Loan Nos. XXXX and XXXX : ( 1 ) after making online payments to XXXX loans on the same date at the same time, the payments for XXXX and XXXX were not being posted on the date that the payment was made while the payment for XXXX was being posted on the date the online payment was made ; and ( 2 ) the interest rate was fluctuating on XXXX and XXXX but not on XXXX which was the same type of variable-rate loan with the same terms. The next day, I sent XXXX XXXX a detailed email regarding these discrepancies asking for his help. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX called to let me know XXXX XXXX had forwarded my email to him and he would help resolve my concerns. We spoke for XXXX minutes, and XXXX XXXX promised he would get back to me within the week with some answers. By XXXX XXXX, I had not heard back from XXXX XXXX, so I called him and left him a voice mail asking him to call me back. I have yet to hear from XXXX XXXX. In addition, I asked XXXX XXXX how I would know if the interest rate changed, in other words, what kind of notice would I receive. He told me I would have to check my statement each month ; no notice would be sent. I asked XXXX XXXX the same question, and he told me Navient would send a notice to me to let me know. I am not sure who is correct, but I never received any notice letting me know my interest rate was going to change.
