  To Whom It May Concern:I'm writing regarding a dispute of a negative credit report from Bank of America unfairly impacting my credit. This stems from a late payment reported around September last year for an auto-payment that didn't process. Crucially, I had sufficient funds.I contacted Bank of America. A representative corrected the issue and promised the late payment would be removed from my credit report. When I received a letter stating the information was "correct," a subsequent agent admitted the prior promise was invalid. A manager then apologized and assured me the late fee would be refunded and the late payment removed.While I received the late fee credit, the late payment remains on my credit report. It's been months, and despite multiple direct disputes with Bank of America and attempts with credit bureaus, this incorrect **** persists, causing significant duress.I demand Bank of America immediately remove this inaccurate late payment and notify all credit bureaus of the correction. If this isn't promptly corrected, I will pursue all available legal actions.Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

  I am rejecting this response because:  my continued dissatisfaction with Bank of Americas response to my complaint, particularly after I have been attempting to resolve this matter since September of last year. The recent response from Bank of America, claiming that the issue was addressed via telephone or letter, is not only misleading but also fails to resolve the core problem: the inaccurate late payment still being reported on my credit history. While I received a refund for the associated late fee, the derogatory credit **** remains, despite multiple assurances from Bank of America representatives including a manager that it would be removed. These promises were made clearly and repeatedly, yet they have not been honored. The prolonged delay and failure to resolve this issue after months of effort is in direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which mandates that credit reporting disputes be investigated promptly and corrected within 30 days. It is also a clear violation of **** regulations, which require that financial institutions like Bank of America conduct reasonable investigations and correct inaccurate information. Despite my best efforts, including multiple communications and a formal dispute, Bank of America has failed to follow through on their promises, misled me, and left this issue unresolved. I have already filed a complaint with the ***** outlining these issues. Despite my continued efforts to resolve this matter directly with Bank of America, the negative **** remains, causing harm to my credit and ongoing distress. I request that this case remain open until Bank of America provides written confirmation that the late payment has been removed from my credit report and an explanation for the failure to honor previous assurances. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will continue pursuing all legal remedies available, including further escalation with the **** and California state authorities.

  I was charged interest on my credit card even though I zeroed out the account balance prior to the statement due date. I called a representative on 5/30 to ask that they refund the interest and was told they were unable to do so. I was then transferred at my request to a manager who stated he would not reverse the charge.. I then immediately canceled the card, and paid my balance due via their app.. IN ADDITION to what I belive is fraudulent interest. The banks rules state that if the statement balance is paid in full, interest is not charged. I believe this bank violated its own terms and I am owed a refund. I paid the interest to avoid any additional charges

  On February **************************************************************************************************** america mastercard that I noticed were accruing interest. I was told that a zero interest balance transfer offer expired the day prior. So the regular interest rate was applied to these transfers. I advised the representative that neither the expiration of the zero balance transfer nor the actual rate applied was disclosed to me at any time during my online request for a transfer or in any subsequent followup emails. The claim was elevated to a manager, JA. I asked him to produce written confirmation that the regular rate was disclosed to me and would be applied to these transfers, that I acknowledged that and agreed to it. Further, I explained it didn't make sense that I would pay transaction fees and transfer balances to a card whose interest rate was higher than the cards the balances came from. I informed him that I assumed as it has always been with the numerous balance transfers I had already done with bank of America that the interest rate would be zero. I explained the process I use with this and all balance transfers online. I suggested there has to be a way for *** to check the online portal and the process I described to confirm my allegations. There should also be some digital documents or footprint confirming that the rate was disclosed, that I agreed to it and proceeded with the balance transfer. He was dismissive. I last left a voicemail for ** in mid March reiterating my request and **** obligation to provide me with the information and documentation I requested. To date I have not received a response.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  The response from Bank of America is simply a summary of my billing statements, but it does not supply written proof that at the time of the balance transfers in dispute, that I was informed that the normal rate would apply and that I agreed to those terms. Simply stating that the ate disclosure was made is not the same as providing proof, i.e., a document signed by me. Therefore, it is unacceptable. This written response is no different from the response I received from the customer service personnel and supervisor prior to filing this complaint and continues to be somewhat dismissive. I thought by elevating this complaint and given the severity of my allegations, that someone at Bank of America would be interested in going to the website, log in as a USER, see what the user sees (and I saw) and go through the steps I went through to process the balance transfer to prove or disprove my allegations. The written response does not describe any such investigation. With respect to my request for compensation, I asked for a refund of the transaction fees and interest because had the rates been disclosed, I would have rejected the balance transfer. I have no choice but to reject the response from Bank of America.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I acknowledge and understand that the July 17, 2025 response is the final response to this BBB complaint. Equally, this is my final response here. While i appreciate the interest refund, there remains two larger more disturbing issues that are unresolved. An investigation of the website transaction and precisely where during that transaction the rate was disclosed has not been addressed. Neither has Bank of America provided a copy of the balance transfer agreement executed by me in support of its allegation that the disclosures were made. I strongly believe these may be a violation of the Truth in Lending Act. Therefore, I will be pursuing this further with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

  I am writing to formally address an issue regarding my prepaid account, which was recently closed due to suspected fraudulent activity that I had no involvement in. As a result of the closure, I was unable to access my funds for an extended period.This unexpected disruption caused significant inconvenience and hardship, as I rely on timely access to these funds for essential expenses. I fully understand the importance of fraud prevention; however, I believe I have been unfairly impacted by a situation beyond my control.Given the circumstances, I am requesting direct compensation for the time I was without access to my money. I feel this would be a fair and appropriate gesture to help offset the financial and emotional strain caused by this incident.Please let me know what information or documentation you may need from me to review this matter further. I appreciate your time and attention to this issue and hope for a prompt and fair resolution.

  On April 15th 2025 I filed a dispute involving a predatory loan and also paid to have this company blocked to prevent any further charges. I didn't have an option at that time to upload documents to prove my case. Bank of America credited two of the charges to my account while they did the investigation (it was a total of 8). I still was not giving the option to upload documents. On May 15th 2025, I received a letter telling me they resolved my claim, not in my favor and they will withdrawal the two credits on May 21st 2025. On May 20th I called costumer service and asked him how can a case be resolved if I was never asked to provide my documents showing my proof of the investigation. I tried the message center to email my documents. I could only receive messages I could not send messages. I was able to before this claim was filed. He said he escalated my claim to extend the days to prevent the reversal of the credit on the 21st. After about a week and no word, I checked the status of my claim. It said they credited my account for the two of the transactions. I called Bank of America again. I asked where the credit was that the document stated it had made. She proceeded to tell me that they credited eight charges when I filed the claim reversed them and after I submitted my documents they credited two of the eight. The document I submitted showed my loan was paid off in February 2025 after three payments. No one can tell me where the other four payments is. Four payments of ****** times four is a lot of money to shrug it off. I feel robbed by my own bank. Their excuses were invalid and made no solid reason for their mistakes.

  Hello,Last Friday my debit-card was cancelled due to fraud charge. This is the same card I use for all recurring bills as it is linking to the checking account I were my pay is deposited. I was told I would receive my replacement card immediately. I did not even receive and email that it was being sent until the following week, and that it was being shipped via regular mail, rather than direct (i.e. if I was receiving it immediately it would be coming direct). I contacted the Bank of America about this, telling them it was essential that I have access to my account (have the debit card) by Thursday evening, as all the physical banks in my area no longer have personnel, just ATMs where digital phone card don't work (same with most businesses). This has led to missed charges, hardships, and having to put payments on a credit card I was trying not to use (affecting my credit). I am seeking $1000.00 in damages, and immediate access to my physical debit card. I have been with Bank of America since I was a kid, and this is not how you treat loyal customers. If I do not receive the payment and card, I will escalate this to a law suit.Thank you

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  They have sent me a false and misleading message. I was fully aware that my card was cancelled, as I was the one to cancel it when I was notified of the charge. However, their automated system is not well designed, and there was no one to call at the time (tried, no one answered). As for the banking locations, these locations were not staffed for at least 72 hours during the time of the incident, and are rarely staffed. Further, my issue was that when my card was cancelled, I should have received it via direct mail ASAP (~3 days) not well over a week later, and the digital card did not work at many locations via my phone. All of this led to financial hardship, as well as social embarrassment when my payments via your digital card failed to work or were denied as I waited for a card that did not come on time. It even arrived late by your own delayed shipping that led to this initial complaint. This is not how a loyal customer should be treated, and I demand compensation for the hardships your unprofessional business practices caused.
