Complaint: I purchased a 5 year ARM mortgage with BMO Harris on XX/XX/XXXX. The purchase price of the house was {$260000.00}. I made a down payment of 10 percent and took a loan of {$240000.00}. I was told that my PMI would be automatically cancelled as soon as my loan to value reached 78 percent. That seemed to be true from the contract I signed. The contract said, PMI will automatically terminate on the day the principal balance of your loan is first scheduled to reach 78 % of the original value of the property provided your loan payments are current. This date is XX/XX/XXXX. There is no mention on how any extra payment would be handled.
I paid extra almost every month towards the principal. Now my Outstanding balance, as per Bank 's own statement ( {$200000.00} as of last statement ), is less than 78 percent for last few months. But Im still paying PMI. BMO-Harris is not considering the extra payments I made towards principal. I think that against CFPB norm/rule, as per CFPB website itself. I tried to resolve the issue many times with the bank. But the bank insists that I have to pay PMI till XX/XX/XXXX. My 5 year ARM term would end on XX/XX/XXXX.

Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Complaint: On XXXX XX/XX/2018, I opened a BMO Harris Smart Advantage checking account. I opened the account online, which stated that the relevant promotional code would be " automatically applied '' if I " applied online now ''. This wording still persists on their website : https : //www.bmoharris.comXXXX Per the terms of my promotion at that time, I was to receive a {$200.00} bonus after ( 1 ) making two direct deposits of {$500.00} or more within 90 days of opening the account, and ( 2 ) ten debit card transactions posting to the account within 90 days of opening the account.
I am eligible for the bonus : - Both of the two direct deposits of {$500.00} posted on XXXX XX/XX/2018.
- All ten of the debit card transactions posted on XXXX XX/XX/2018.
- 120 days have passed since opening the account.
I have attempted to resolve this myself several times : - I spoke with a representative on Monday, XX/XX/2018. I was told to call back at the end of the week.
- I spoke with a representative on Friday, XX/XX/2018. I was told to call back at the end of the week.
- I spoke with a representative on Monday, XX/XX/2018. I was told that the promotional code may not have been attached to my account. I told them that their website said it was automatically applied, but the representative insisted this did not matter. I was repeatedly asked for this automatically-attached promotional code ( which I eventually did find in an old email ).
I was also told different terms for the bonus ( saying I needed {$600.00} direct deposits instead of {$500.00} ). I was told there was no qualifying activity on my account when this was clearly not true. In short, I felt like the representative was just saying whatever she could to get me to acquiesce.
I have met the terms set forth in the opening promotion for this BMO Harris checking account, and as such I am eligible for the {$200.00} bonus. BMO Harris is engaging in deceptive business practices by refusing to honor their own terms.

Billing problem
Complaint: As the principal of the loan is paid down, interest rates are not adjusted correctly. Also, prepayment is not applied to to the principal and the lender, BMO HARRIS, has made no attempt to correct the matter. The representative even told me on the phone when I tried to address that there is NO WAY for additional funds to be put toward the principal. They have been fraudulently overcharging me for months. Many of these calls have been recorded as they have asked for my permission but the account hasn't been corrected. I am lucky to understand the powerful impact of compound interest. If they are doing this to me there must be many many more who think they are proactively paying their principal loan amount down when, instead, the lender is simply applying forward.

Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Complaint: Dates, amounts and actions : On XX/XX/XXXX I got a mail notice about an overdraft. I opened the account online and was appalled to see the bank had charged me overdraft fees against a positive balance that put me in overdraft and then proceeded to charge me daily overdraft fees against the overdraft they caused. There was no attempt made by the bank to reach out. The negative balance got deeper and then my insurance company made drafts against negative balance of which {$36.00} per draft was charged while the {$7.00} daily fees continued.
The total of the overdraft came to {$250.00} of which {$290.00} were overdraft and services fees charged in a 20 day time period.
I talked with XXXX XXXX at the XXXX Customer Contact center of BMO Harris Bank. This was on XX/XX/XXXX at or around XXXX. I have been a customer at the bank since XX/XX/XXXX. He proceeded to lecture me on the overdraft. I have never seen a daily overdraft fee. I asked him when the bank had put this policy in place as I never would have agreed to it. He claims the policy was put into place when I opened my account 18 years ago.
I asked him if he had paper proof of that, and all he responded with was I can show you the current terms of your account. Frustrated with the apparent disregard they had for customer relations and the attempted dressing down from a person who wouldn't give his last name, I hung up. I'm XXXX Years old. I didn't intend to get emotional, but the attitude and wanton disregard for the past 18 years of being a customer put me into overdrive.
This is just flat out robbery by another name. Overdraft fees, on top of daily OD fees, on Top of Overdraft fees as in the Punishment will continue until morale improves. I have wired enough to cover the overdraft, but the best out come for me is that this go as public as possible. A bank can only be as good as the service they provide and they all provide some variation of the same service. We bailed them out 8 years ago via tax payer dollars and then govt borrowing as the Fed printed up trillions to make their balance sheets whole again. Not one of them went to jail and now they rob us blind with apparent impunity.
I realize with your budget cut, your ability to reach out is limited. I thought I would give it a try.

Can't stop withdrawals from your account
Complaint: Trying to help elderly father ( went through XXXX XXXX, had multiple XXXX, & early stages of XXXX ) get a handle on his finances ; doing so from Ohio. Approximately 1 year ago I was in Wisconsin and visited the bank so I could gain access to his accounts online from Ohio. At that time I was added as a signee to my father 's account as well as opening another checking account in my name. My father 's account has an over-draft line attached to his checking account.
Approximately 4-6 months ago I noticed my father over-drafting his checking resulting in additional fees and increasing his over-draft line to the limit, which I was attempting to pay down. I called the bank representatives not less than 6-8 times trying to resolve the issue ; asking that the checking account decline any charges once dad 's account hit XXXX. Doing this would have allowed me to slowly pay down his over-draft line over time and help dad get a better hold on his spending.
Fast forward to the end of XXXX ... my father over-drafted 5 transactions from to a Wisconsin business. Since the business tried to re-deposit the transactions multiple times it has caused bank over-draft fees of {$610.00}. The bank refunded {$77.00} ( {$7.00} per day over-drafted ) in fees. When I called and spoke to the manager asking for additional help ( since I had reached out months earlier looking for solutions only to be turned away ) her response to me was that's all she could do. As a follow-up I called the district manager to seek additional help. He told me that he would review with bank manager and get back to me the next day. 3 days later after not hearing back, I again called him back and left message. A few hours the same day I received a call back from the bank manager stating there is nothing further they can do to help, stating ; " if the bank refunded all the over-draft fees they would be out of business ''.
Then on Saturday XX/XX/18 I received an over-night ( Sat delivery ) that the bank has closed the accounts ( accepting credits only ) and wants the over-draft protection line ( {$1000.00} balance ) paid off in 1 week 's time or they will send to collections.
I'm trying to find out if I'm liable at all for the overdraft protection line since I'm a " signee '' on my father 's account. I would not think I'd be liable for those dollars. We're willing to work on paying the account off over time, but seeking help with some of the additional fees that were slapped on my father. He is on a fixed income of $ XXXX monthly which obviously doesn't go very far.
