Fee problem
Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 ; I made a cash deposit at a BMO Harris Bank Branch ATM to ensure an NSF fee would not be assessed on an ACH debit.

Despite the cash deposit being posted, my ACH was returned and I was charged a {$36.00} NSF fee by BMO Harris. On Friday, XX/XX/2018 at approximately XXXX ; I contacted BMO Harris Bank about the NSF fee and was told that the cash deposit needed to be made by XXXX Central DST or XXXX PDST.

Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting

Problem with personal statement of dispute
Complaint: BMO Refused to renew my loan because it wasn't my primary house anymore. It use to be my primary house for 8years. The loan contract states that the loan will be automatically renewed if agreed by both, but BMO refused to renew do to it wasn't my primary home. This was learned about after I called them and spoke to them. They told me to continue making payments as normal it shouldn't be a problem. As we continued to make payments, my wife and I kept an eye on our credit. It never shown any negative or late payments. Plus, BMO never sent me a certify letter or never demand the loan to be paid in full. I finally paid the balance off on XX/XX/XXXX after months of requesting a payoff letter. Once I paid the loan off they went back 6months and damaged my credit by stating I was late and it was a charge off. They performed this task in XX/XX/XXXX after I was requesting payoff letters months prior. This shouldn't be a charge off or late payment because they refused to give me documents.BMO then back log late payments because current credit checks never shown this prior. I will attach loan agreement which they should of refinanced per contract which doesn't state anything about 2nd home we don't refinance. Also I will attach payment stubs and a payoff document. Also the credit Bureau failed to there job and agreed with them. They also never sent me Documents that they finished there investigation or explained their reasons for their decision. They have ruin my wife 's credit and mine intentionally which has caused a burden and stress. Dates of payments will be on statements. Contact with BMO on XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They even wanted to see if they can refinance the loan and tried, and never mention to payoff the note it is being called. This is wrong for a bank. They also refused payment at first on XX/XX/XXXX until I threaten legal action. Also if you look at loan documents the maturity date was XX/XX/XXXX and it should of automatically been renewed then and they never wrote it off as a charge off or late payment. never reported it on credit report back then.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage


Complaint: Hi, I purchased a newly built single family house on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The purchase price of the house was {$260000.00}. I made a down payment of 10 % and took a loan of {$240000.00} from BMO Harris Bank, in a 5 year ARM at 2.75 % interest. That loan came with a monthly PMI of {$78.00}, which I am paying with my mortgage without any fail. Initially I was told that my PMI will be cancelled when my LTV reached 80 %. But I noticed that BMO Harris is still charging PMI even after my LTV crossed 80 %. I asked BMO Harris Bank local branch and they told me that the PMI would not be charged once my LTV reach 78 %, which would be after XX/XX/XXXX. As per the suggestion of the BMO employee, I sent a written request towards that goal. I never received any written acknowledgement for that letter confirming BMO Harris received my letter asking to cancel PMI. BMO Harris also told me that any extra payment to reduce principle would not be considered for PMI cancellation. We paid {$200.00} extra every month towards the principle. I think what BMO Harris is saying is against law, as I checked from this website, which says, You can ask to cancel PMI earlier if you have made additional payments that reduce the principal balance of your mortgage to 80 percent of the original value of your home '' - https : //www.consumerfinance.govXXXX On top of that, BMO Harris want me to pay {$500.00} for an appraisal of my property to cancel PMI in future. I refused that considering the same website that indicates such property appraisal is needed to refinance loans and not for fresh or new loan. Moreover, BMO Harris itself have all the documents to show that the value of my single family home has increased to {$350000.00} ( as against {$260000.00} purchase price ) as per the city and for which I am paying higher taxes too, which BMO has an escrow account as well. I checked all the documents that the Bank gave us during our signing of the loan and it says nothing about PMI cancellation or how would it work. Im getting more frustrated with this bank and tend to think that Im being cheated by them. They messed up last year tax calculation and for which I had to pay an about extra {$900.00} for many months. That was not easy. I like my PMI payment be cancelled immediately. I also have the following questions : 1 ) How and when can I cancel my PMI payment? 2 ) When will that PMI be cancelled automatically ( without any action from my side ) if I keep on paying my monthly mortgage, as I'm doing now? Or will that PMI be charged for till the end of my 5 year ARM period ( XX/XX/XXXX )? 3 ) I also like to know what will be my loan amount that we need to pay BMO Harris after 5 year ARM period is over ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Thanks,

Funds not received from closed account
Complaint: I have an original copy of a Certificate of Deposit held with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX IN XXXX, for which I discovered they were merged with or acquired by BMO Harris Bank National Association, on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted BMO bank and spoke with 2 different representatives on XX/XX/XXXX. The first representative had no information regarding these unclaimed funds and suggested I contact State of Indiana. State of Indiana informed me they had no information regarding unclaimed funds, and suggested I find out from BMO Harris more information regarding Report number, Date and name it was filed as, and amount. When I contacted XXXX XXXX on their national toll free line, I was instructed they can not help me. I asked that they route me up the chain to their supervisor or management and agent stated this was not allowed. Agents name was XXXX and his supervisor 's name was XXXX XXXX, though agent would not spell names, nor provide me with and Agent ID number. I am left without any record or way of tracking down the funds for my Certificate of Deposit, for which I have the original signed CD paperwork, as well as the last notice I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXXwith the maturity amount. I am happy to forward copies of paperwork. Can you please help me?

Closing on a mortgage

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage


Complaint: This complaint is against BMO Harris Bank N.A . I communicated with BMO from approximately XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX regarding obtaining a home mortgage. My main point of contact was with XXXX XXXX, the mortgage banker. Initially, I requested a quotation from XXXX for mortgage rates and fees. After subsequent emails and conversations, I told XXXX that I wanted to go with her initially quoted interest rate ( of 4.1 % ) and initial fees quoted which did not include points. I communicated that I did not want to buy the rate down. I also communicated that I wanted to lock in the quoted rate. XXXX informed me that the rate was locked. I later received paperwork in the mail to sign off on and I noticed that the box for a locked rate was not checked. I informed XXXX and she assured me that my rate was locked. As the mortgage process went on I continued to receive documents with points added to the cost of my agreement. I communicated this to XXXX and constantly reiterated that I had not agreed to that and did not want to pay for points. She informed me that it turned out that my rate was not locked in when she thought it was because of a system error and that there was nothing she could do to remove the points. She admitted that it was the banks error. I subsequently requested her supervisors contact information and she gave me XXXX XXXX XXXX contact information. XXXX told me she informed XXXX XXXX of the situation. I also contacted XXXX XXXX on more than one occasion by phone and email and never received any communication regarding a resolution to this issue. In the midst of all this, I continued to receive bank documentation to sign off on which had points added on that I had not agreed to. The documentation came with deadlines by which I had to sign and return the documents so I felt under pressure to meet the deadlines so that I would not be in breach of contract with the seller of the home I wanted to purchase and be in jeopardy of losing my earnest money. My real estate lawyer informed me that I did not have enough time left in the process to find another banker and secure a mortgage without being in breach of contract. Therefore, I marked up some of the loan documents, and signed them, indicating that I did not agree to the points that were added on. In summary, I made phone calls and sent many emails to XXXX and XXXX XXXX and in the end, {$380.00} was added to my closing disclosure that I did not agree to. XXXX replied to my emails and calls but said there was nothing she could do to remove the points. XXXX XXXX returned one of my calls and said that he would look into the situation and get back to me. Afterwards, some time passed during which he did not get back to me. I followed up with emails and phone calls and still did not receive anything back from him in regard to any progress or a resolution to the issue.

Incorrect information on your report

Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting

Account information incorrect
Complaint: Issue # 1 : This account was involved in a foreclosure that occurred in XX/XX/2011. We surrendered the property to the bank, which resolved any balance owed. This account still reports a balance of {$80000.00} on our credit report, but it should report as {$0.00} owed. Issue # 2 : This account is also reporting that we are actively 120 days past due. Once again, we surrendered possession of the property, associated with this account, back to the bank in XX/XX/2011. The account was obviously closed at that time. Despite that, BMO Harris has continued to report this account as continuously 120-days delinquent for 7 years now. The account should report as a charged-off collection as of 2011. Issue # 3 : It is my understanding that a creditor can only report negative information about an account for seven years according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. From what I can see, this account has exceeded that standard. Simply put : We question the validity of this account still appearing on our credit report at all.
