Bank of America Reviews

policies
Hopefully everyone will read this and take it into consideration. Bank of America has set up there rules and policies to rip off the common consumer. There policy basically states that they can chose to cash a check anytime (even if its post dated or past 6 months). they can then charge you an overdraft fee or whatever fees may arise because of the early or late cashing of the check. There resolution to the problem is that you can put a stop payment on the check, which is obviously at a cost. See for yourself. bank of america.com, search deposit agreement and disclosure select number 4. click deposit agreement and disclosure. go to number 13-K. read the section regarding stale dated and post dated checks.

Modification denial
I was given a home modifiaction trial period by BOA in November 2009. I paid December and November on time, but I lost my job of 4 plus years on December 28, 2009. As a result, I was late on the 3rd and final trial payment in January 2010. I did contact BOA at that time, and let them know I lost my job. I recieved a letter on January 27, 2010, stating that if I did not make the payment in 30 days, I would not get the modifiaction. I made the payment on Feb. 27, 2010. By April 20, 2010, I was caught up on mod payments, but was still under review for permanent modifiaction. I recieved a letter on May 6, 2010, stating that I had been denied the modification due to the late payment of January. Why wait five months to deny me? BOA refuses any workouts. I have became self-employed in February 2010, but the bank wont accept my self-employment as sufficient income to work out another deal. I dont know what to do. I dont want to lose my house.

Bank of America is inconsiderate and doesn't own up to its own mistakes
Just like everyone else, Bank of America is inconsiderate and doesn't own up to its own mistakes. My fees were much less than most people, but it's the principle of the things that really gets me.

I was signed up for automatic payments on 2 credit cards for six months, and suddenly for some inexplicable reason, the payments didn't go through this month. I didn't find out until two weeks after they were due because I was so busy with everything else. I called and the woman *said* she fixed it--had me pay this month AND next month's payments on both cards (ouch), as well as removed the late fees. Alright, fine. But of course a few days later I check my account and the late fees were never removed. So I emailed BOA and whoever responded thankfully removed the two $40 charges (I hardly make any money with my job, so 80 bucks is a lot). He said to "Please remember that this adjustment is a courtesy, and may not be waived in the future." So I emailed them back to make a point—that it was NOT my fault and the fees were NOT applied correctly. I said they should not penalize customers for relying on a service that they provide and promote. He responded with, “We understand your concern. Please note that our system shows that the late payment fee was correctly assessed and because of your great history we remove it as a courtesy. Allow us to inform you that we use the word courtesy since the fee was applied correctly. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.” The two emails were responded by two different people, naturally.

How as the fee applied correctly when I had automatic payments? That's BOA's responsibility, not mine. And they should have informed me that my payments did not go through if they can see I have signed up for automatic payments. I’ve never been late or skipped a payment before in the years I’ve been using a credit card. When I pay off these cards, I’ll do my best to never use them if I can help it, or switch to a different bank.

Delay of modification
Bank of America seems to be delaying a decision on our modification. Over the 3 month trial basis I have repeatly had to send and resend information that they did not have although I had already sent it to them. I checked up with them constantly to see where the loan was and was always shocked to find things missing. Finally it was sent for processing and shortly there after we were denied for missing information! I called immediately and was told it was reopened! I am disabled and raising my 3 grandchildren, I have lived in this home for almost 25 years now and can afford to pay this if the mortgage rate of interest would be dropped to a fair rate. I am sick over this and feel BAC is not committed to working with their customers. There are too many paper pushers involved and not enough people involved to make the right decisions. I certainly hope this has a positive end for me.

To much confusion with their offerings
I had a Bank of America card for over a decade. When I canceled the account because the reward program didn't fit my need, no one asked me if there may be another card or program that may better meet my needs. When I called back to inquire about another card they had that had no annual fee, a young lady through the executive line informed me that all cards carried annual fees. When I shared with her, about her own company, that, indeed, there are BOA cards out there that require no annual fee, she simply said. Uh, I'm sorry there's been some confusion, you're right, that card was overlooked. To which I said, "I'm sorry, if there's that much confusion with your offerings, then perhaps I should contact another bank."

Their process for working with people who have experienced trauma is inadequate and simply, cruel
My husband and I had a house fire in September 2009. We settled with the insurance company early January of 2010. We contacted B of As property claims division well before receiving our check to walk step by step the procedures for requesting draws to rebuild our house. It is now mid February and because of some misinformation on the part of the bank, we are still waiting for our first draw check. Whenever I call I have to re explain our situation, I get wrong information and the process continues to be delayed. When I asked to have someone follow up on one of the issues that needed to be dealt with, I was told, "We do not make outbound calls." Their process for working with people who have experienced trauma is inadequate and simply, cruel. We were forwarned of Bank of America 's horrible customer service and follow through. As an ex banker, I would never have believed it if I was not experiencing it myself.

Poor customer service
I am canceling my mortgage application with BOA. I am bewildered. I am not sure who to blame for the lack of response and communication concerning this loan. I went with BOA because I expected great communication and service. Before I applied, I ask Colleen Mitchell (loan officer) a question...Will my loan be approved and ready for closing by 5/14/10. This was in February. She said that it would not be a problem.

A week and some days had gone by and there was no response. I called and left messages. No response until the end of that week. She says that she needs the contract before she can start on anything, even though I had sent my information to her. Why did she not tell my Realtor and I this? My Realtor sent her the information. Guess what? My information is still not submitted/inputted into the system. Finally Sheila Melendez (her assistant) did it. Thank God for that.

I am still calling and emailing Colleen only to find out through another person that she no longer works for BOA. There goes another week. After a while I was contacted by Zoila with information that I needed to send/fax. I did just that by the end of the day (I thought). If I forgot to send something or I forgot to sign a letter, just pick up the phone and tell me or send an email saying...Hey, I got the letter but it is not signed. That is simple.

I feel as if I am so alone on this deal. I am trying to make it work but I am in a tunnel listening to my echo. I know that they are busy and have other loans to process. I know that my loan is not much money ($19, 200) at all compared to other home loans. I know that some things are probably out of their hands. But communicate with me. If I send an email, it is OK and your responsibility to respond or get someone to do so.

I have been down this road before with the other closing that I completely gave up on that took 5 months to close. I can not go through this again. I thought that by coming to BOA their processes would be more efficient and the communication would be better. I have been a customer with them since 1999 and I will say that I am saddened at the way this has turned out.

I have given the documents that you requested "online" quickly and orderly. I know that most people do not do what I have done. Does BOA realize that the news has published that you are the worst bank in the country for customer service? You had an opportunity to prove them wrong...with me. Do not think that this is easy for me.

I am loosing $1340 of my hard earned money. You have taken $535 for an appraisal and $35 for a credit report from me (upfront). I had to pay $300 for a survey and my $500 earnest money is gone also. That hurts.

Truste Sale
My Dr. took me out of work because I became ill, Cigna the Disability carrier for the company that I worked for, refused to pay my disability claim so I was left without any Income at all… So I called Bank of America and asked about a loan modification, one of their agents told what materials to gather and fax them to Bank of America’s Modification Department which I did… About 4 days later I received a letter form Bank of America saying congratulations on taking the 1st step in saving your home… The next time I hear from Bank of America it’s from their Collections Department and trying to get in touch with them is virtually impossible… When I did, they informed me that I did qualify for their Modification Program and that is 7 to 10 days I would receive a package by FedEx with the paperwork to fill out and return to BAC… Well now my home is scheduled for a Trustee Sale in July and it’s been a month and I have still not received to FedEx package… I have lost my vehicle, and now I’m afraid I will lose my home, my Domestic Partner and I are both disabled and she suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, she had her back fused and I have Diabetes, High Blood Pressure which both are out of control, I also have PAD a bad left shoulder and arm, and suffer with a Panic Disorder… Bank of America doesn’t care about nothing but their Millions in Profits that they make every year…

over draft fee
This is just classic big bank behavior of the 21st century. After depositing money at 10:18 PM (time will be a theme here) into a Bank of America ATM I subsequently logged into my account via my iPhone app to schedule a transfer to my savings account. I proceed through the prompts and reach the final screen before the transfer is completed. At the bottom it reads "Make sure there are sufficient funds in the From account. Otherwise, overdraft, returned item, or other fees may apply. See your Account Agreement and Fee Schedule for details." I glance up at my available balance to find that it is sufficiently greater than the amount I intend to transfer and thus click "Make Transfer". With my money properly allocated, I proceed to walk home.

In the morning I check the balances on my various accounts, as I've gotten in the habit of doing, and discover that I have overdraft fees. During a rather rude and patronizing conversation with a customer service rep I'm informed that all ATM deposits made after 8:00 PM do not officially post until the next day. I'm told this is so because, and I'm paraphrasing, that the accountants can't work 24 hours per day. A fair point, but why then was my balance transfer processed ahead of my cash deposit? It seems to me that these transactions should be processed sequentially. Well, as it turns out balance transfers will post up to 10:45 PM on the same day. I argue with the customer service representative that that's unrealistic for customers to expect that different transactions have different posting times. He argues that the iPhone app clearly says that all balance transfers made after 10:45 PM will post the next day and that since I made the transfer at 10:18 I should have known that the transfer would be processed immediately. Another fair point, but only superficially so because the app only informs you of the time table for processing transactions AFTER YOU'VE MADE THE TRANSFER. What's more the available balance listed included my ATM deposit. So how can the money I deposited be included in my available balance and simultaneously NOT be available? A good question for Bank of America, one that I'm hoping they'll be able to answer soon.
