Regarding equity loan with bank of America that required balloon payment in XXXX 2015. I requested extension or modification of this loan in early XXXX to avoid any potential negative effect on my loan. Bank did not approve loan modification until XXXX. During the approval period, I continued to make all payments on time and in the amount due or more. Upon approval I was notified of a three month " trial '' period for some unknown reason before loan would be finalized. During this " trial '' period I could only make payments in the amount due even though I offered to pay more, even an amount to the total of the three month period to expedite the approval period. The bank would NOT allow such a payment plan, only the amount due each month. Even though my loan was approved, the bank then submitted a delinquent notice to the credit agencies. In turn my credit rating quickly dropped from XXXX XXXX very good XXXX to XXXX XXXX fair ). I have responded to all bank requirements regarding this loan in order to avoid any negative credit reporting. The bank did not advise me that upon loan extension approval that I would be reported as delinquent. The bank misrepresented the consequence of the loan extension and unfairly and unjustly damaged my credit rating. I feel that consumers need to be protected against such improper banking practices. Full transparency must be a requirement. I request that the Bank of America be required to fully disclose their delinquent and unfair handling of my account so that I can restore my very good credit rating.
