Referral Bonus not yet received
I have an account with BoA and had referred my colleague to open an account in one of the banking centres in TX on June 26. The associate promised me that I will get the referral bonus with in 90 days but did not give any Promo code.
Now this is the 4th month and I have not got the amount yet.
I called them 4 times at 1.800.622.8731 and had online chat with them 4 times but did not get any solid response from them.
They say that they are verifying the request and would leave a note on my account for the related depts to process and also that I will not have to explain my issue each time I call. But these has not happened and I had to explain my issue each time I call. They are also asking for the promo code, which I did not get. Was it my fault????
But it is funny that they repeat the sentence "We understand your issue, but there is nothing much that we can do. Please call back after a few days to check the status". I am really pissed of at this. I am now in India and can not call them often and I do not intend to do that also.
I am yet unsure whether I will get the bonus or not, even though they say that I will.
May be after centuries?!!!

ID Theft
In January 2008, I started working with Bank of America/Countrywide on a home modification. It is now October 2009 and I still have not received any help. This month I did get a phone call stating that I was approved for a home modification from an employee named Rhonda Hudson at Bank of America. I spoke with Rhonda for the next two weeks re: my home modification. She always called me. During our last conversation, she told me that she had to set up a payment plan and asked me for my banking info which I provided her. A few days later, I called Bank of America to speak with Rhonda Hudson the negotiator in Home loans. I was told that there was an employee named Rhonda, but that she worked in customer service. I spoke with the real Rhonda who informed me that she had never spoken to me before. She also explained that she had a dispute with another employee who did work in negotiations, that may have used her name. I have spoken to numerous people at Bank of America including supervisors and nobody has helped me. Everybody apologizes and then thats about it. This supposed employee had access to all of my information including my home loan and tax info since B of A has customers submit this when you apply for a modification. I have spent roughly 40 hours either on the phone with B of A or trying to put credit freezes on mine and my husbands credit, or dealing with Social Security. B of A didn't even bother to pay for prvacy assistance. To make matters worse, I had to zero out my accounts and re-open new accounts. Yesterday when I checked my mail, I had notices stating that I had over drawn my account. When I contacted the bank...I was told that there was a on line banking bill that had gone through and a purchase at a fast food restaurant that was purchased 3 days prior to the closing of the accounts. When I tried to explain to the representative what had happened, she wasn't willing to work with me. It literally took me screaming at her to make her finally credit me the 3 over drafts that B of A wanted to charge me.

mistreatment of customer
I recently obtained a debt consolidation loan to pay off some credit cards. When I contacted Bank of America to inquire about settling my balance, I was told there was no such option for customers in good standing. You see, I've never missed a payment, always paid more than the minimum balance, and over the last 4 years have been given BY THEM a credit line of $13, 000 of which I carry a balance of less then a third of. When I asked the customer service agent if I could speak to their customer retention department, she told me "It won't do any good, since you're in good standing, they'll just transfer you back to me". She then offered to transfer me to someone to see if maybe my interest rate could be lowered. The next person I spoke to was very nice and the conversation started off well, and she said that I already had the best interest rate they offered. Then, it went downhill from there, and she stated that they needed to "update" my information. After going over my income and such, she stated that the credit line I'd been given, again BY THEM, was entirely too high for my level of income and she'd taken my credit line down to $4800.00. I then asked her was it their policy to penalize a customer for being in good standing, and she kept dancing around the subject and stated "it was their policy, and I'd been given that credit line in error". So now my credit line is less than it was when I was originally issued the card 4 years ago and earning a lot less than I am now. I told her that once my statement arrived, I'd be paying off the balance and canceling my card. I'm sure there are other banks out there that would like to have my business. She kept trying to talk and I told her it didn't matter how she tried to spin it, what they were doing was just plain wrong and hung up the phone.

closed accountafter paying it off
Towhom it may concern:
Same old same old. Ive been an account holder for over 10 years 720+ beacon score, paid my accounts on time, butwhen i paid my $21000.00 balance off before it defaulted to the money gouging 13% rate they simply decided to close my account. Im a finance manager with a six figure income
with no mortgage open and i understand a little about debt to income and their reasoning for closing the account just didnt make sense. I agree i am guilty for taking advantage of their 0% teaser rate(of which they make 4% in fees) so its like using money for almost nothing, yet the government is lending it to them for 0%!!!with our taxpayer money!!!
This just smells bad... shame on BANK OF AMERICA .When things get better in the economy dont you come to me and ask for my business or any of my acquaintances, which have complained of the same tactics.
Chase will continue to earn my business for the time being.

CLOSED ACCOUNT
All I can say is that I am ANGRY... very ANGRY at Bank of America for ruining my - up until now - perfect credit history!

I had to leave in June for business overseas for 3 months. Prior to leaving, I had so much to do to arrange travel and arrangements that I was late on ONE payment to Bank of America. I had never been late or delinquent in my 3 years.

Due to the expenses of moving, I could only make a partial payment on my card. Once I settled overseas, I made more than the minimum payment to make up for being late and making a partial payment.

I called Bank of America today and discovered they had CLOSED my account! I was outraged and spoke to several representatives from the credit and risk departments. They bounced me everywhere. Finally, Sharon Forest tells me that they closed my account for being 60 days late (ie, missing one payment and paying partial, which was counted as the next month) and for other UNNAMED delinquencies on my credit report. When I probed further, they wouldn't give me any information.

I told her this was outrageous that they would close an account that had never been late before and was only 60 days late (really only 1 month late, but they counted a partial payment as an additional month). I told them I would never have anything to do with them again, to which she hung up on me.

They are complete theifs! Looking at my credit report, there was only 1 delinquency on an $11 medical bill I didn't pay while overseas. What kind of crock is that? They essentially ruined my history over 1 $11 medical bill and being 1 month late. I later learned they massively closed accounts in June - anything that looked at all risky to them. So, I was a victim of their own business practices! THANKS A LOT B of A! I hope you get what's coming to you!

Customer Service
Have been trying to call for two weeks and the two times the phone has been answered, I have been transferred to lines with no voicemail on them. They are not much better in-person either. I worked with a personal banker to open a small business account and the manager who assisted her was rude to her and didn't even acknwledge our presence.

Over Draft Fees abuse by BofA
This bank was notified previously about abusing my account due to charges not applied by me. Yet they refused to handle my claims and instead took thousands of dollars from me on an account that was only for use for transferring funds to my mother in Texas. I had a total of $46.00 to keep it open and when somehow that account was used by unknown parties I notified BofA and filed my claims. Later to find out that I could only file a claim for 60 days from the date of calling. They specifically told me that.
After filing the complaints they dismissed my complaints and had to refile them as the lady that I spoke to must of thought I was rich and full of it. To this date they only credit me some charges from the Hartford insurance that were never authorized. They never called me to tell me the status of my claims, after I took the time to call them they again told me that my claims were dismissed and they would not refund me anything. I am a disabled american veteran and had to close my accounts there after being with them for many of years. They did not care or wish to listen. They just took the money at their own will and left me hanging out to dry. Where is the government on all these complaints filed throughout the internet. Is it maybe they found a way to cover the payback for the stimulus package. From the Poor, Elderly, Disabled Veterans, etc., , , , ,
Excuse my spelling and grammar. This just has me wondering what else can happen.

Unwarranted Overdraft Fees
I'm dedicated to avoiding overdraft fees. So dedicated that I rely on checking my bank account AND e-mail MULTIPLE times a day to ensure that there have not been any changes, updates, low balances, etc.

And BofA DOES IT AGAIN! I received an e-mail last night claiming an "extended overdrawn fee to be applied on October the 19th because of consistent overdraft fees within a week".

I'm checking my bank account online, and I see NO RED! I'm wondering "where's the overdraft?"

The lady on the phone this morning points me to a little link that is a "new" feature, which shows ACCOUNT TRANSACTION HISTORY. I think to myself "why would I need a separate link for that if BofA had already integrated that into my account screen?"

Here's why: If you don't know where to go, and they don't tell you, then you go where you know and it shows that nothing is wrong. Then, after your deposits clear, they take the money and say "Sorry Charlie, that's 'unfortunate'" I'm done with this bank and any others. And I will be on the FRONT LINES...AGAIN...if another bailout for these crooks is even suggested.

Be wary, BofA customers.

refinance
We started a refi. in May, and have yet to close. We more than qualify, have a high income, excellect credit score, and a long positive history with B of A. They couldn't ask for a better qualified customer. Yet, we have been given the run around. Constantly asked for the same info., from numerous people that we speak to only once. There is absolutely NO chain of command. The left foot doesn't know what the right foot is doing. It has caused huge stress and frustration. Then they have the nerve to send out an inexperienced, unqualified appraiser who shot our property value down with numerous descrepencies and misinformation. I mean, how do you miss a bathroom or a fireplace, etc... Bank of America has been a huge dissappointment. It means nothing anymore to earn a great income, have great credit and payment history and be a long standing client (23 years). They should be ashamed to call themselves Bank of AMERICA. They should be called Bank of take um for a ride. Its been a pretty awful right. Suzanne S. california

Could there be a worse Bank?
We currently have two Bank of America accounts. One mortgage, and one unsecured line of credit. We had been victims of the economy, with a job loss for 13 months and now finally back to work! We did everything in our power to stay current on all of our accounts, and most banks/credit cards like Discover and Chase, were VERY accomodating. Bank of America did NOTHING to help with late fees or interest rates. We stayed current on our mortgage for the entire 13 months, but received two late charges for being nore than 15 days late the last two months. Customer service said there was nothing they could do help us being we had 2 late charges in the last 18 months. I probably would have preferred a slap in the face. It sickens me that a company like this gets away with raising interest rates, refusing to help the consumer in an economy that they helped create!
