Assistance for credit card dispute
Balance due showing on my credit report that I suspect was a card my ex husband must have had. He is deceased and I had no cards with him.
Charge was made in early 2000s and I was not married to him at the time. Why a card without my name has been associated to me I have no idea.
I am trying to get to the bottom of this to have this charge balance due removed from my name as it is definitely not a charge I made. I wouldn't have any idea of his account number with this bank.

Verified Reviewer | Atlanta, GeorgiaRelease of funds
I deposited an insurance check from Travelers Insurance into my BOA account. I knew a hold would be placed on the check.
I didn't know BOA's new policy was to starve me until the 'funds were verified'. I received .0001% of my funds; minuscule compared to the actual check. My truck broke down OTW home and cost me the entire advance I received. I called four times today without success.
I have no money, no food, and will be homeless before the hold is removed from my funds. Thank you, Brian, CEO of BOA, for killing me.
Do not open an account with Bank of America, they are horrible.

Verified Buyer | Butterfield, MinnesotaInitiated a charge back for my business and it's been over a month
So I purchased some bitcoin mining App on google play, The app kept quitting (I purchased a 12 month subscription), Which I assumed would run for twelve months, And supposedly I purchased it on sale, instead of 1200it ended up being 363.36, I also purchased a couple little packages under a hundred dollars. Those quit working also.
Now they all show expired, so they don't even run anymore And that was only after like a week or two. They're supposed to have 24/7 Customer service yet I have to email them through their site. And they don't get back to me for days. So assume and believe it to be a scam, Not to mention the fact that when it was working.
There's no way. I was ever gonna recover the money that I spent even at the sale price. So falty advertising, Bad apps, Wanna email the company. They said that things weren't working because of hackers and something else that wasn't good..
So I wanted to refund. And I asked for this refund like two days after purchase. Will bank of america since I couldn't get a hold of the crypto place, I initiated a charge back in which they denied a originally. A couple days ago didn't really give me a good reason and It already shows me funder that Google Play.
But they say my financial institute denied Processing the refund. So you would think that Bank of America would have a message center that you can communicate with them on. But they don't for businesses So I have to pay for faxes to go to them, And it's taking forever as a small business. I need that those funds to operate.
I've never had a bank. Take this long for charge back and refuse to give temporary credit.
User's recommendation: Don't have anything that you need to get The bank to get your money back for.

Verified ReviewerFor my money they took on my account
We opened a new business account on 4-18-24 at 110 E John Carpenter Fwy Irving, Texas. The banking agents were so nice and helpful, they made us feel at home immediately.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, It was the back office who denied us contract thus violating our right to conduct lawful business. We found out when we tried to use our new debit cards, and discovered the new account was frozen on 18th. There was no notice or explanation. Called the same day, to customer service and told the cash deposited would be mailed by check to business location.
Then followed up on 22nd and told could not verify who we were and to come into office to pick up funds. Arrived at financial center and told could not pick up funds. Also that new account would not be closed until 23rd. Banking agent connected us to closure department over the phone and told they would only send check even though B of A deposit agreement allowed for pick up of funds if they closed account.
During the exchange We were talked down to and laughed at and given false names such as "Daniel Torres" whom does not exist.
So far We have had to wait for 17 days and this put us out because it was our funds necessary for travel.
This caused us emotional distress and financial elder abuse. We have been delayed without explanation, victims of identity theft and this has caused us time and money (hotel accomodations etc.) amounting to 1000 dollars per day because our business has been put on hold until we reach our point of origination, California.
- Banking agents are professional
- Back office provides misinformation

User's recommendation: Careful to bank with such conglomerates because they tend to renege on own agreement with clients without explanation.

Verified Reviewer | North Hollywood, CaliforniaAfter phone number was changed, I could not get into my bank account when locking and unlocking my card 4 weeks
I had to change your phone number. Since my SIM card had been swapped, I was locking and unlocking my debit card for safety.
I called B of A to give them my change of phone number, then locked my card. I am a 71-year-old senior, suffer from PTSD and depression, and most importantly, had suffered two severe falls in one year, so I depended on Uber and Lyft in addition to my medical rides. In March 2024, I was several miles from home and found myself stranded because my card was locked and could not be unlocked after hours on the phone with customer service. I explained that I was stranded and was afraid to take public transportation because of my health.
Nothing I said compelled them to unlock my card. I took the train and two buses to get home. I was terrified. It was late evening.
I got off at Universal, the wrong stop. I was crying, and cold, and very upset that I had no access to my money.
Three weeks later, a woman younger than I was, was stabbed and killed at the very Universal stop that I got off at. This incident has left me so stressed that I will no longer get on trains or buses.

Verified Reviewer | Salt Lake City, UtahWhat a Scam!!! They refuse to give us our 60,000 bonus Alaskan Airlines Miles
I got my husband to get us an Alaskan Airlines credit card that gives you 60,000 miles if you spend $3000.00 or more. We spent about $3100.00, and they refused to give us our 60,000 miles because they said the promotion expired about 10 days prior and we were $15.00 short.
We paid Bank of America over $3,000 for our bills. Actually, we spent over $3100 in approximately 3 months. They were dishonest from the start – they never sent us information about how to get our 60,000 miles. We just had to spend as we could.
They sent us information about the interest rate and such, but just left out how to get our 60,000 miles. What a scam. My husband got an email from Terrye Williams in the Corporate Complaint Department at Bank of America. I called her four times, emailed her at least three times, and my husband emailed her once telling her to talk to me and help me.
She ignored every single attempt for us to reach her. We called/emailed her for help eight times, and she simply discriminated against us and ignored us. Absolutely no one at Bank of America will help do the honest thing and give us our points that we earned — they just used us to get them money for charging things on their credit card. We're so disappointed – DO NOT USE BANK OF AMERICA.
If you want a good credit card, American Express, Capital One, Discover, Chase, and Wells Fargo are honest credit cards. I'll never use Bank of America again.
It's a fraudulent company – they make promises and don't provide the details. Terrible people.

Verified ReviewerBank of America
If you don't already have a relationship with Bank of America, I strongly recommend that you not initiate one.
I have been a customer for more than three years. It was a huge hassle changing banks for my personal and business account.
I don't want to endure that again, so I am kind of glued to Bank of America.
However, if I had known how poor they are in so many regards, I never would have switched to this bank.
Their technology -- website and mobile -- is horrible. Technology is my business, and I have been involved in designing and testing computer systems for nearly 50 years. Whoever is in charge of Bank of America's customer user experience (UX) should be fired for cause.
Their corporate structure is divided into teams which support business customers and teams which support individual customers. If you have your own business and have your business and individual accounts at this bank, you are likely to experience all sort of problem.
Those problems begin with getting conflicting information from the banks two teams.
One team will tell you one thing to do. The other team will give you conflicting instructions.
I ended up with FIVE usernames to log into one or both of my two (2) accounts. FIVE (5) logins for TWO (2) accounts. This was how they told me to meet my needs.
On December 27, after about two hours on the phone -- including lengthy wait times during multiple transfer -- the last person told me that I only needed one login to meet all of my needs.
That person deleted the four (4) logins which (I was told) were unnecessary and causing problems.
Today, January 2, it was clear that person was clueless. I spoke with four (4) different people over the course of two hours. That is two hours that I am not making any money. One person had a solution.
He wanted to add back one of the deleted logins! That did not work. So, I was transferred again -- another long wait -- and that person said that I needed to add back another of the deleted logins and remove the login that the first person resurrected!
I think that things MAY be sorted out now. However, it is clear that the "associates" you speak to at Bank of America are very poorly trained.
Today, when I told a supervisor on the individual support team about the series of problem I have had over the past week -- including three and a half hours on the phone -- he said that he can deal with training issues on his end (individual accounts), but he has no access to do anything about the business support team.
This is why Bank of America is horrible.
There appears to be no mechanism that exists, that their employees are aware of, or that their employees are willing to use to make sure that their employees are coached and retrained when they screw up.
So, at Bank of America, there is no way that the individual account team and the business account team can work to make sure that both teams are well trained and do not waste customers' time.
I am sending a copy of this to the CEO of Bank of America. My guess is that I will not get a meaningful response.
I am confident that they will not reimburse me for 3.5 hours of my time wasted due to their organizational problem or the inappropriate actions which their poorly-trained staff took.
Again, if you don't already have a relationship with Bank of America, avoid one just as you would avoid a serious communicable disease. There are better choices.
- Nationwide
- Unlikely to fail
- Long
- Poor technology
- Long wait times on hold
Preferred solution: Reimbursement for 3.5 hours of my time wasted due to the incompetence of many of their employees

Verified Reviewer | Antioch, CaliforniaNever reimbursed for service I never received
I accidentally signed up for the wrong diet site, I was billed for 4 different payments. I received only three of the charges and to this day I have called over four times about this 19.95 charge and still get a different answer every time.
I went to Chase Bank and informed them of these transactions and that I was having problems with Bank of America. They informed me if you did not receive the services you paid for it definitely should be reimbursed to you. After today, I am writing off the $19.95 and decided to tell the world about the worst bank in it, is, with out a doubt, Bank of America.
Do not trust this bank. They will lose your money and they are rude to all of their customers.

4/18 to 4/29 is 11 days. Not 17.
Your whole story sounds shady.
The Treasury Dept has a separate branch that requires banks to obtain and verify information. Something was obviously flagged.
You must work for them and in need of brownie points. Whatever reason that determined closure is their perogative at this point.
Our issue was mainly with contract B of A deposit agreement. Upon closure the first option was the bank could have held the funds for pick up. But instead they chose to send a check fifteen days later, probably to gain interest on it. Pretty shady business.
I flag them because they are going out of business anyway for failing to comply with Basel 3 banking protocols. Go figure.
You are on a third party site. No one here works for them.
Of course. Admission our personal information was sold.
Those who have little to no amity to provide an intelligent rebuttal ALWAYS say "you must work for them". Consider it a complement because they have no way to rebut you.
You sound really AI...
As you sound stupid.
It’s obvious you are not American.
