Consumer Narrative
I am writing to inform you that Bank of America has engaged in retaliation following my filing of complaint XXXX on XX/XX/2023. On Saturday XX/XX/2023 we received an Escrow Analysis letter from Bank of America backdated to XX/XX/2023. We had not received such a letter previously. This letter falsely alleges that our family paid only {$5400.00} of a XXXX tax bill of {$9700.00}. The letter states that there was an underpayment of {$4300.00}. The letter states that due to this underpayment, our monthly mortgage bill will increase by nearly {$400.00} per month. Upon review of our records we show that we actually paid {$9300.00} of the {$9700.00} tax bill through monthly equal escrow payments of approximately {$770.00}. The probable underpayment amount based on this is about {$430.00}. This is nowhere near the underpayment amount of {$4300.00} indicated on the letter we received. Furthermore, the letter includes dollar amounts that Bank of America knows are not part of Escrow ( e.g. Insurance ). Bank of America is using the US Mail to send financial debt information to us that it knows to be false for the apparent purpose of defrauding us. Because of our recent written complaints against bank of America for what we believe are violations of State and Federal predatory lending Settlement agreements ( this was contained in certified letters sent to Bank of America - dated XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 ), we are now being targeted and retaliated against by a significant and an unjustified increase to the monthly mortgage payment in order to place an additional hardship on our family. In addition, we have attempted to contact the regulatory affairs person identified for the response and resolution to the original complaint ( # XXXX ). We have not received a call back nor have we received any document showing the response submitted to the CFPB from Bank of America. We have not authorized Bank of America to send any communications electronically. We have received nothing in the mail to date. I sent certified letters and a fax to Bank of America authorizing my husband to speak and correspond on these matters. I am enclosing a copy of the letter ( along with envelop showing postmark date ) we received from Bank of America regarding Escrow and a copy of the most recent letter sent authorizing my husband to speak on my behalf. My husband is authorized to speak regarding this matter as well.
