      I requested to have a balance transfer on 6/5/2025 and within the next hour, I decided not to go through with the balance since there was fee of $153. I called back and spoke with a representative who stated she will cancel the transfer and then send the request to another agent to do the actual cancelation. When I spoke to the next person, he stated he was going to call me back within "30 seconds", but never did. I then saw that the balance transfer was deposited into my bank account including the fee. I called *** to dispute this and they stated there was nothing they can do. I also asked for a supervisor to contact me and no one ever did!

      The transaction for my rent payment of $1600 was initiated on June 5th. On June 6th, the payment was processing with a ******* balance. I added via a cash deposit $300 to my account to cover the deficit. On June 9th, I noticed a charge of $59.99 showed up as a recurring payment, which I was unaware of as my daughter had subscribed to ******* tv via my phone. Also on June 9th, the $1600 showed as posted (screenshot provided) and the ******* payment processing with -60 in the account. After getting an email about insufficient funds around 2pm on June 9th, I called the bank to see if it was a mixup as I was showing the payment had posted and asked for an explanation. The associate assured me that the payment had posted and the email was automated and was a delayed email as I had put the money in the account to clear the deficit. She told me the after clarifying it was my rent payment, that it would not be returned and even stated she was making notes to my account on what was discussed. I went to the. *** ATM to put the $60 in my account to cover the overdraft caused by the ******* payment and noticed that I had a pending credit for $1500 in my account. I called the bank back to find out what was going on and explained what I was told earlier. The associate told me ******* processed first (Even thought it is still pending with the merchant) and my rent check was returned. I asked to speak to a supervisor who told me the same thing. I told her what another bank of america associate had told me and asked if I could have a reversal of charges due to that. She told me she could not and would write up the associate. My ask is that I recoup all charges/fees due to my rent payment being late due to what I was assured by a bank of america representative. I feel it was within reason to reverse the pending credit and they were not willing to offer any options towards a resolution for a long term customer.

      ******* denied my fraud claim for an unauthorized $15,000 withdrawal from a joint account, even though they acknowledged the exact same fraud on the co-owners individual account.I am a joint account holder on a ********************** account with my father. Someone fraudulently ordered a replacement debit card, which was sent to a *** P.O. Box in **********. This individual used the card to withdraw $15,000 in person from a Bank of America financial center in ************* father received suspicious email alerts from Bank of America (BoA) regarding this unauthorized digital debit card and called the bank. The representative told him everything was fine and did not inform him that a replacement card had been ordered and sent to an out-of-state address. He resides in ******* and did not request the card. The fraudster impersonated him and used the card to withdraw funds from both his individual account and our joint account.BoA acknowledged the fraud on his individual account and reimbursed him. However, they denied the fraud claim on our joint account, falsely stating that I authorized the $15,000 transaction. I did not. I was not in **********, did not request or receive the card, and never authorized this withdrawal. Both withdrawals were made using the same fraudulent method, but the bank has treated them inconsistently and unfairly. The bank has serious gaps in consumer protection if someone can withdraw $28,000 so easily. They are not protecting us!My Requests: - Reimburse the $15,000 fraudulent withdrawal to our joint account.- Provide documentation on how the card was requested/where it was shipped.- Explain why one account was reimbursed and the other denied, despite the same fraudulent circumstances.- Preserve and provide any surveillance footage, teller logs, and ID verification from the California financial center.- Correct their investigation findings and acknowledge the error in denying my claim, otherwise I am willing to take legal action.

      For a year and a half I have been trying to get this stupid bank to remove my address from their mailing list. They are sending mail to a company called ********************* at my address. I have called/emailed them multiple times and even gone to a brick and ****** to get it resolved. The last time I called I spoke to someone called ******** ***** who had enough nerve to tell me that there was no such company affiliated with ***. I have the letter right in front of me with their logo. She finally told me that she would contact tech and one other department and have them along with her get back to me to resolve it. That was almost 2 weeks ago and she never did show me the courtesy of a response. I was told to open the letter and see that there is a past due balance$759.32. This ******** person also asked for the last 4 numbers on the business account with is 1506. I don't know why they can't get it thru their heads that the person that lived here no longer does and hasn't since Nov 2023. I have NO idea where he moved to and actually gave them the name of the previous owner. **** ******. He lived here with a wife ******** and 3 adult kids. I don't know who there is not capable of following through with this. Are they that desperate to harass me and not go after the perpetrator? GO AFTER THEM AND LEAVE ME ALONE. The address that this is being sent to is:*************************************************************************************************************

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The person that I spoke with said he would look into the situation but never gave me a definitive answer. He did give me his name and a number to contact him which I did after our call telling him that BOA was sending the letters to the wrong address. I had to leave it on his voice mail because he did not answer the call. I told him to go online and pull up ******************** in ******************** ***** and it would show their name adddress and phone number and  would see that their address is ******************************* ************************* and not mine which is ******************************* *************************. Problem is he never even showed me the courtesy to respond back to  let me know if he looked into it. Today I got another letter for Topsign Flowers sent to me so obviously the situation has not been corrected. Not sure exactly who there can not look up the information and CORRECT THEIR ADDRESS ERROR.
