Wouldn't reverse fraud
One day I go online to check my account balance with BOA only to discover that a check was written by someone else but the funds had come out of my account. Yes! Imagine your best friend writing a check from their check book with their name, address and everything but the money comes out of your account! This was clearly a case of fraud so I contacted them and was told it would be reversed and that "when I have a chance to close the account." My checking account remained open for a few weeks but as always I kept very little funds in it mostly just to pay my credit card bill as I'm very weary of BOA after several issues. Sure enough a few weeks after the first incident more checks were written taking money from my account. When someone from the check fraud department finally got back to me they told me they would NOT reverse any of the money STOLEN from my account because I should've closed it. The rep clearly stated they had no responsibility to me after advising me to close the account and they wouldn't return any of my lost money. I guess this is how BOA helps it's customers feel safe and secure with their service, by letting criminals steal money from the customers they should be protecting from fraud. I will never bank with them again and hope to close my cc with them asap. Absolutely dispicable!

Ill treatment and loan sharking
To Whom it may Concern, I had a couple months of financial difficulty on my credit card and this wonderful bank put me past a 30% interest. I eventually paid the Credit card off except for 90 dollars. When I went to pay that and close the account They told me I would be charged 30 % interest for everyday until the check came and was posted. I tried to do quick over the phone payment but was told they would not close the account for thirty days and I would be charged the High interest on the 15 dollar quick payment fee till the next closing month date of the account. When I called to confirm that the check had arrives through the mail and was posted, I found out that they had over charged me 91 cents and was going to continue charging 30percent for everyday until the closing month date on the account. I was hung up on by two of their Guest specialist customer service employees. Just has been a nightmare getting this account closed. I have never used any colorful mediphors either. I hope no one else goes through this nightmare. STAY CLEAR OF BANK OF A AMERICA. Thanks for reading, Ron Curtis

Ripped off by Bank of America!
Frist of all let me say that I am not stupid. When I called to check on getting a loan from the packet they had given me, I thought O.K. I was going to move and 0.625 sounded like a good rate (as I knew my credit was very good at the time), and the payments were suppose to be 200.00 a month. Well this company instead of treating it like a loan put it off as a credit card debt. I have been fighting them for two years and I have been paying them there 200.00 a month and they keep adding interest and late fees and overdraft fees. Each month I subtract what I don't feel I owe and write on the bottom of my check for loan and the amount I still owe them. They except the checks and cash them but they don't take what I have fussed about for the last two years into consideration. They have harassed me at home multiple times a day, and now they are calling the hospital were I work. I pay my bills and don't mind paying for something I owe but I refuse to be ripped off, and if they don't start listening to me as I think they don't have a boss just telephone operators, I'm going to quite paying all together.

Keeps charging my closed account!
I canceled my account with BOA several months ago and withdrew my money from the account. 2 weeks later they charged my empty account for the Privacy Source which is a BOA program. This of course put my supposed-to-be-closed account into the negative numbers. I don't get paper notices for the account so on a whim a few weeks later I looked at the account and had a huge negative balance. After making several phone calls over the next few weeks they canceled the charges and closed the account again. Somehow the account has been reopened again and I am back into a negative balance. I don't even have a card or checkbook for that account so how does it keep getting opened?! Service is also terrible- the original reason for closing the account.

Poor service!
Terrible customer on a refinance. Our loans was passed around to about 5 different departments. And they all passed the buck and made many mistakes!

Unauthorized transfer of funds
We have an acct with our names & our childrens names. My daughter has her own acct at this bank. Due to an internet loan scam her acct went in the negative. She called cooperate and they agree it is a scam but won't freeze the acct so her acct gets accessed and more overdraft charges occur. They took money from my acct to the tune f $396 without authorization and put it in her acct. They wouldn't let me take her name off my acct unless everyone was there to sign a stupid signature card. So they have the opportunity to keep taking my money. This is a way to rip poor folks off. My daughter can't keep up. Let's face it , a $7 an hour job is only $200 a week. It would be a struggle under normal circumstances but absolutely impossible under these rip off conditions.

The worst bank in history run from here!
After holding an account for over 13 years starting with a very small hometown bank that merged over 4 times and eventually was bought out by bank of america, i got wise after years of incompetent and poor customer service, with the final straw being last this past year at jan when they changed policies for deposit for customers, to even if you are an account holder all checks deposited were to be placed on a two to three day hold while on hold, they had the liberty to bounce checks presented while your check was on hold., anyway i could go on for days about how i hate this bank and how much money they stole from me over the years, anyway called and said okay close all accounts, the service person said okay closed no problem.. I thought great after all these years i am done.!! Only to get a call from india yesterday at 8 am telling me i was turned over to collection agency, ( i had no idea) for 89.00 from like 3 months ago on same account i just closed., i also have the most current statement showing that i had a 0 balance. So when i called spoke to someone in their recovery dept, she said, well i can send you the statements from three months ago, when you owed so and so, i said how can i be authorized to close an account if there is a balance!! They just suck in the worse way, i have changed to wachovia and had no idea that banking didnt have to be highway robbery every day!! And super customer service, i only wish i had done this 10 years ago. I tell everyone i know that still bank with bank of america what fools they are...

Interest rate nearly triples
I have a credit card with Bank of America and recently ran into some financial issues after a family concern. When I spoke to the bank they agreed to work with me.

On Aug 6, 2007 I was sent a letter by Reginald Miles who said if I paid $65 by August 23rd (today), that would help me from falling further back. I received calls daily, sometimes 3-4 a day.

So I spoke to Bank of America and advised I was prepared to pay $800 over 2 payments in the next week. They assurred me that would get me back in good graces. So I paid $800 between Aug 8th and August 14th.

Then today I got a statement and my APR went from 12% to 30.24%

when I called for asistance a man named Ben on their 800# said he had the final say and nothing could be done. I asked for a supervisor and he said again, he was the "final say".

Bank of America is worse than a loan shark and when I tried to work something out, they declined any assistance.

Don't ever get involved with Bank of America because they have a long history of ripping off their customers. I have been in touch with the local ABC affiliate who will include a copy of my statement showing the 30.24% in their upcoming series on "Credit Card rip offs"

Be careful, be very careful with mortgage!
I caution any one that has a mortgage with Bank of America to be VERY CAREFUL! My dad and I share a mortgage with Bank of America, and Bank of America changes their billing address from time to time and if you do not receive an address change from them or you miss it in the mail Bank of America does receive your payments but now it is at what they consider to be the wrong location and this department holds your payment and will not forward your payment to the new billing address. Then when you fall behind on your mortgage they foreclose on you! This is what happened to my dad and I had to file chapter 13 for him to keep his property! I make payments for my dad via online banking with my bank and my bank actually sent BOA a letter asking them to withdraw their foreclosure proceedings, cancel any late charges applied to his account and restore his good credit because my bank had proof copies of all the checks that went un-cashed. They were sent on time but to the now wrong location because Bank of America had changed their billing address and unfortunately for us we did not receive a change of billing address notification this time, yes they have changed it before but we caught it that time. The request from my bank was refused! Why? My bank told me straight up that this is how Bank of America got to be so big! They deliberately change billing address from time to time and if you miss it for what ever reason Bank of America then forecloses because they don't receive your payments! They receive the payments, but it's the wrong department and they just don't forward them! Proof? After chapter 13 was filed we received back one of the first checks that BOA claimed that they didn't receive, it was dated pre-foreclosure! They just flat held it until the chapter 13 was filed then sent it back. Had I not filed the chapter.13 BOA would have legally defrauded my 82 year old dad out the land he worked so hard for most of his life. If you have a mortgage with Bank of America "BE CAREFUL, BE VERY CAREFUL"! Check up on your billing address at least every six months.

Check Cashing
Went to B/A in Las Vegas, Nevada located on Martin Luther King and Washington Boulevard August 3, 2007 to cash a Credit Card Check which my fiance had given to me for $175.00. when I got to the window the male clerk took my driver license which had the exact same information (address) as printed on the check, he verified the funds then came back to the window and said he couldn't cash the check because my drivers license was not 30 days old. So then I showed him my employee cards, which are all dated and had my picture on them (Sheriff card, Alcohol Permit, Health and Tam Card he said he could accept these. I had a change of address he said he had no way of verifing that and this is bank policy. I asked to speak with the supervisor she also agreed that I could cash the check even though the funds were available unless I had a military identification card or passport, she went on to say that this is Bank of America policy. So then I went to another Bank of America they said because it did not have the Bank of America on the check they could not cash it (Rancho Drive and Craig Road), I said well the other said they could cash because my drivers license was not 30 days old. I called the call center, one person said that is not true about the drivers license and then another said it was true, that what they wanted was for me to open an account and deposit the funds into the bank. The reason I went there was because I needed the funds immediately or I would have deposited it into my account. What happens when someone wants to open, withdrawal funds they are new in the state and they don't have a military or passport how do they get their money? When their drivers' license is not 30 days old? Yet each person said that each Bank of America has their own policies as to the acceptance of check cashing, to me this is unacceptable. Bank of America is Bank of America, their policy and procedure are based on however each bank wants to do? It showed me that there is no uniformity within their system of banking.
