I told Bank of America about 2 companies in May of 2025, that charged me without my consent:1) On April 15, 2025, I spoke with ***********. "Supervisor" in the late afternoon PST and he advised me that he would not charge me at all for the month of May 2025, because of all the inaccurate charges to my account. He told me that I would begin being charged $234 in the month of June 2025. ************ charged me $351 May 1st 2025, which is a figure out of the sky. I have never been charge this amount before and I want my money back. I thought this would be resolved by now, but I only received a partial credit, when several people have told me since May 1st, 2025, that my refund would take 24 - ************************************************************************************************* knowing a "Supervisor" told me what he said in April ******) I was looking around for car insurance and I saw an app in the ****** Play Store called *****. The gentleman told me a company named ****** has a good quote. ******, the gentleman, told me since I was looking around for the cheapest quote, to hold the quote that he gave me, he would need my debit card to hold the quote. I gave it to ******** told me if decided to get his quote, I would need to take pictures of my car and I said, "Okay."I got off the phone with him and 45 minutes later, he charged my card without receiving pictures of my car or my consent. Then he had the nerve to text me and ask for the pictures. I was so hot. I could not respond until the other day. I told him that he knew he did the wrong thing because he did not charge me for June 2025 and I wanted my money back ********, I have been with Bank of America for over ******************************************************** they can't give me a credit while they investigate the matter. Because of these charges, I am behind in my bills, including my rent. I received a 3-day notice to pay or quit and am hoping my complex manager will understand.Business Response

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports, any information reported on my consumer report requires explicit written consent. At no time did I provide such consent, and reporting this information without my authorization is a clear act of fraud. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681a(2)(B) - Exclusions from a Consumer Report, any credit transaction that involves the use of a Social Security card is required to be excluded from a consumer credit report. This account violates that provision and should not be reported.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I have submitted another complaint for a lawsuit. And for the reason why Im denying it is because since day one I was with Bank of America there was always a problem and to top it off when the employee when I had called in to make a complaint, why am I being redirected every time I call or dial any number with Bank of America get directed to the fraud department And that was my complaint when the employee said I see why youre getting redirected to the fraud department because youre you have a lot of duplicate payments and he said he was gonna do a claim and give me a credit so I thought maybe maybe they see something I dont see on my end for security reasons And when I got the letter of the dispute that the employee was doing I called the Bank of America to tell them no this is not fraud. Its like the employee just picked up random charges just to make a dispute, but for my understanding, he was making a dispute for the double payments but no, he made a dispute for fraud and those transactions that he picked, those were not fraud. Those were legit those transactions I did do so that made me become a negative over $1000 in my account and Ive been going through stress every day since day, one with Bank of America my first day experience with them I couldnt even use my card. Any swipe They did she did call me and tell me about where the gentleman did tell me that that he was gonna give me the debit card overnight he didnt, but she did not say anything about About the how he handled the claim that he said he put in she didnt say nothing about that so if you have any questions, give me a call thank you ***** *****Initial Complaint

On May 31st my daughter was married and received money as gifts The money was deposited and taken in the atm. After depositing all their money including checks and cash the machine said error and no money has appeared in her account. She has been calling the bank for several days and today was told she had to wait until June 16th. This is devastating to newlyweds with bills. They took the money and should quickly return it. If they dont get their money ASAP I will go viral with my complaint.Business Response

To avoid late penalties on my auto loan account through **********************, I placed the account on an auto draft while on the phone with a customer service agent. This agent typed in the amount and said it would auto draft until the loan is paid off. It was drawing out of my account so I did not question anything. I then got a statement saying that I owed $83 back pay and late fees. I contacted the bank and was transferred to a manager who was beyond rude. He stated several times that I was cutting him off and to let him know when he had permission to speak. ***** ****** is an embarrassment to the business. I am seeking to refinance through another bank because of how he treated me on the phone today. We will not be doing business with Bank of America nor will I encourage others to bank with them.Business Response

My spouse and I opened a checking account with **********************. At the time of funding the account we asked if the funds will be available or will there be a hold on the account. After being made aware that a partial amount of the check would be available, we agreed to deposit the checked based on that statement. Later that day I was notified by *** that all funds will be held until June 13th and no funds will be made available. I immediately went back to the branch to speak with the manager ****** *******. ****** was very rude and condescending not only to myself but to here staff and other customers in line. I dont agree with this type of behavior. I am seeking remedy for the misinformation by having at least a portion of my deposit made available.Business Response
