In XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the Bank of the West XXXX to secure a business loan for opening a new private practice. Although my practice was already open and I had some money XXXX, the bank said it was n't enough and needed personal collateral to secure the loan. This was an interest only loan, and a revolving account attached to my employee LLC ID and not my SS #. After a couple of years I started paying back more than just interest. In XX/XX/XXXX I got a job offer with the government that was too good to be true, so I closed my practice and moved. I also closed the bank account that had autodebit for payment on this loan and contacted XXXX XXXX on several occassions to get the auto debit linked to another account. He never returned my calls and they continued trying to pull money from a closed account for the next 90 days which caused additional fees for overdrafts, past due payments, and credit problems. I started paying them by check because they would not allow me to pay more than the interest if I set up autodebit again. Over the last two years, I have paid about {$50000.00} on the {$77000.00} balance. The property tied to this loan is worth {$99000.00} according to XXXX XXXX tax dept. I called the other day to see if the revolving account could still be used because I no longer had checks to that account. They asked how much I had in mind. I said around {$12000.00}. XXXX XXXX and someone named XXXX said they would check. XXXX called me back and said that because I did n't pay any principle on the loan in the beginning, I no longer had the revolving status and they were not willing to work with me. Today, I received documents in the mail stating that they had pulled my credit report ( WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ) and said my credit score was too low according to XXXX. This is rediculous because I 'm currently XXXX getting a home loan and if they would have asked for a personal credit report I would have told them NO because that could mess up my credit rating. I called XXXX. He said he had notes from XXXX saying I wanted to apply for a new loan of {$12000.00} and that is why they pulled my credit report. I told him I did n't care what the notes said I NEVER gave anyone permission to pull that report nor did I apply for a loan. I already had a loan. I merely inquired as to whether I could still use it as a revolving account since they still had a lein on my property. In addition, I asked him when they changed the terms of the original loan agreement because I was n't informed of those changes and XXXX could not answer me. These practices should be illegal. I have had nothing but problems from this bank and I wish for you to investigate their practices. Thank you.
