I have a complaint with the practices of Bank of America Home Loan Department. 
I applied for a home equity line of credit and was approved on XXXX XXXX. My home is sitting on XXXX acres of property. I have XXXX other building structures on the property. At the time of application, there was no requirement from the bank to have flood insurance on my property. After submitting all the requirements, they approved my application. Then I received a letter from the bank dated XXXX XXXX, requiring me to purchase flood insurance for my home. I have called the bank several times to resolve the issue but to no avail. I called XXXX regarding the change in the zoning of my property. XXXX informed me that the changed happened in XXXX XXXX. 
Now my property is considered in a flood zone. My question was why was I not required by the bank then to have flood insurance on my property. Did they not do enough research on my property? I have tried many calls to the bank to resolve this issue but to no avail. I could not cancel the contract until three years or else pay {$1200.00}. So I just bought flood insurance to resolve the issue. 

Then a letter from the bank dated XXXX XXXX stated that I have to buy flood insurance for XXXX other structures on the property. Now my issue with them is why now. These structures all existed prior to the initial application of the loan. 
I just feel that whoever made the first assessment did not do their job properly. 
During XXXX of my conversations with customer service, they said that it is not required to insure a building if there is no bathroom or kitchen. I explained to them that XXXX is constructed as a pole barn without bathroom or kitchen. I suggested that they should send someone to reassess the property. I felt that they were just basing their assessment via satellite pictures. 

On XXXX XXXX, I received a bill from Bank of America for {$490.00} for flood insurance for the barn and another structure. 

Hence I am writing this complaint. First, I felt that I should have been allowed to cancel my contract without penalty during the initial application. Or allow me to cancel it now without any penalty. Next, charging me for insurance on a building that does not need XXXX is uncalled for. And if I do n't pay the bill while I wait for a resolution, I will be charged interest daily. 

I hope writing me this letter will give me some resolution. 
Thank you.
