After I Don’t…She Did!
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
- - Debit card missing; process was rough.
- - The staff erased Apple Pay, causing issues.
- - I was hung up and charged for overnight replacement.
It all started with my debit card that went missing. (I seemingly work hard, including reading affirmations to make sure that I do not lose my card.
I do this because Bank of America makes it ridiculously difficult to appease such.) I finally reached someone after being on hold for about 10 minutes. The initial callers name was Abigail. I explained to Abigail that I did not want to receive a completely new card. I explained that I wanted a card with the same number just a different code and expiration date, so that I could still use Apple Pay (as that was the case many times before).
Abigail erased the card that I would have organically been using for Apple Pay, and thats when the elongation of my he trouble was initiated. I then spent around three hours trying to sign, utilize faulty digital copies and more. I was hung up on twice before I could even continue the process, and it all resulted in a completely new card being sent to me overnight (and I was charged for that). In a nutshell, Bank of America has an outdated manner of interacting with customers in regards to their debit cards and online banking.
As customers we should easily be able to lock a card in case we need to relocate it. We should also have the option to either receive a completely new card or an amended card that we already have. Lastly, there are distinctions between business, checking accounts and regular accounts however, these distinctions arent 100% beneficial for customers in relation to debit card issues and the banking app functionality. I was genuinely a call away from going to the bank and withdrawing my funds and going elsewhere because of how irritating my experience was.
Hopefully this will spur amendments to these aspects of B of A. Thank You

Verified Reviewer |Fraudulent foreclosure — void judgment — federal law violations
- - Foreclosure in 2009 used a void judgment under LaSalle Bank.
- - Assignment signed by dissolved entities tied to DocX LLC; authority questioned.
In 2009, Bank of America foreclosed on my home using a void judgment entered in the name of LaSalle Bank, dead eleven months before the judgment. The assignment was signed by Aames Funding Corporation, dissolved 17 months before execution, confirmed by California and Florida government records.
The assignment was prepared by *** and ***, ***, connected to DocX LLC, whose founder, ***, was federally convicted and sentenced to 58 months for forging mortgage assignments nationwide. *** Loan Servicing admitted under oath they knowingly used dissolved *** for convenience, not legal authority. Bank of America and *** were discharged as unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court May 10, 2011, then signed a deed as secured trustee three months later, violating 11 USC Section 524. The FBI confirmed I reported this fraud May 9, 2009, four months before the void judgment.
I have filed 68 federal complaints.
No substantive response in 17 years. My son was 5 years old when his home was sold.
Preferred solution: Full financial restitution for void foreclosure of $200,935.88 plus 16 years of consequential damages

Verified ReviewerCredit card fraud department
- - Unauthorized charges: $149.99 twice and $800; charged before signed documents.
- - I want a full refund and investigation; staff threatened me.
I sought credit repair services due to negative items on my credit report and multiple unauthorized inquiries impacting my credit score. After researching online, I contacted your company, drawn by its proximity to my home in ***.
During my initial conversation with Mr. Sukh, he assured me that he would assist in resolving my credit issues, and I was required to provide my driver's license and credit card information to initiate the process. Throughout our discussions, I explicitly confirmed multiple times that my credit card would not be charged without my consent. Mr.
*** repeatedly reassured me that no charges would be made until I had signed the PDF documents sent to me via email. I also informed him that I would be traveling for several hours and would not be reachable, stating that I would provide my credit card information again upon my return. Despite this, while my phone was in flight mode, I discovered that my credit card had been charged twice for $149.99 and once for $800 without my authorization. Upon noticing these charges, I promptly emailed Mr.
Sukh to express my desire to terminate any services and to request a refund. I emphasized that I had not signed the PDF documents and felt uncomfortable with the service. Instead of addressing my concerns, Mr. Sukh responded with threats, further escalating my discomfort.
I made it clear in writing that I wished to sever all business ties with your company and demanded a full refund. However, rather than returning my funds, your company fraudulently signed my name and withdrew additional amounts from my bank account. This experience has not only caused financial loss but has also severely impacted my trust in credit repair services. I expect a prompt investigation into this matter and a full refund of the unauthorized charges made to my credit card.
I also urge you to review your internal processes to prevent such fraudulent activities from occurring in the future. I have an email proof that this credit repair company said they would return the money back to my account, but I am very surprised to say my Bank of America credit department is supporting this credit repair company, saying that you can keep the money, you don’t have to return it, and denying my claim.
Can you believe how stupid these people are? They are my credit card company, instead of protecting their own customer, they’re protecting a third party.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Bank of America bad business practices by fraud department
- - Lender seemed legitimate, but the wire transfer did not arrive.
- - $1,582 check deposited; Bank of America closed the account.
I applied for a loan through a company I believed was Lending Club. After reading the terms of the loan, I believed that it was a legitimate company.
They told me that after providing my routing number and my account number, I would receive a wire transfer for the funds into my Bank of America business account within four days from the date that I believed I was supposed to receive the wire transfer. There was a check deposited in my Bank of America business account, and it came up two days ago as a -$1,582 deposit of a check that I was not aware of, so I contacted Bank of America immediately. Upon contacting them, I reached their fraud department. I spoke to a young lady, and she escalated it to her manager, after which they put me on hold.
They told me that the check appeared to be legitimate. There was a glitch on the part of the people who sent me the check — the loan company I believed in — and they said it was not a scam and that it was not fraudulent. After I left the line, I asked her to assure me that my account was okay, and she said it was and the funds were available. However, it never showed up in my balance as available, and I never tried to take a dime out when I saw the red flag of that -$1,500.
I tried to contact the loan company, and they have yet to respond to me. Then I tried to access my Bank of America business account, and it was closed. There was no notification from Bank of America, and I do not understand how the fraud department could tell me the check was okay when they transferred me to the closure account. They gave me little to no information but said they were closing my account permanently.
You'll never be able to get a Bank of America business account again. I think Bank of America is just like they say — the bank of American BS. I want to make sure everyone knows don’t trust them any further than you can throw them when it comes to their representatives knowing what they’re talking about. How can a situation in the fraud department be escalated from an employee to a manager, and they put you on hold?
It’s supposed to be due diligence, and they obviously didn't.
Now my Bank of America account is closed, and I can no longer use it. Everyone who knows about Bank of America has probably experienced this before.
- Deceptive business practices and customer service not fully trained on job description
Preferred solution: The representative and manager that gave misinformation to customers
User's recommendation: Don’t use Bank of America. It is not to your advantage when you go to the fraud department and they say you haven’t been scammed and the checks not a fraud but it is and they have a reason to close your account.
Dissatisfied with customer service
- - Sold a vehicle to a nationwide dealership; a $10K Bank of America check was held 7 days.
- - The check stub warned of a 2-4 hour anti-fraud hold, but funds were delayed 7 days.
Sold a vehicle to Autonation and received a $10K check written on a Bank of America account. The check stub stated the funds "may experience a 2-4-hour anti-fraud hold on payment." The check was deposited and the funds ended up being held for 7 days with the explanation of "there is risk the check writer isn't legit." A nationwide dealership with $27.63 billion dollars in sales for the year 2025.
At the same time, I closed an account at Chase Bank and received a cashier's check for the amount. I deposited the cashier's check at a Bank of America branch and that money was also held for 7 days.
A cashier's check from a bank that has $1 trillion more assets than Bank of America. Customer Service dumpster fire!
User's recommendation: Do not do business with Bank of America.

Verified Reviewer |Resolved: Money transfer to another bank
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
It is easy to use BOA when living in US. I now live outside the US and I have had problems.
Its online service is designed for USA and I am unable to enter a German cell number into my profile so getting an authentication code has to be sent via email. This is a problem sometimes.The service reps I spoke to via your contacts were very helpful.
I have tried multiple numbers directly and have spent many dollars trying to reach a representative that could help me. It is not easy to find the correct number on the BOA website and ERICA the chat bot sent me around in circles not being able to answer questions.
I needed to speak to BOA as a bank transfer I made had not been received. I also clarified that I am unable to use a German cell number with this account. The people I spoke to were fast and helpful.
- Easy to use in usa
- No easy to use when not living in usa

Verified Reviewer |Turn off Erica
- - The user does not want any communication from the staff.
- - They do not want reminders about charges due this week.
- - The feature should be optional.
Nothing happened!!! I neither need nor want any communication from Erica.
I do not need the nag line reminding me of what charges might (and I stress the might) be due this week. I keep track of my own financial responsibilities, and I feel a pang of anxiety when I open the app and see that Erica wants to warn me of an obligation, which I have already fulfilled.
She needs to be optional. She needs to go away.
Preferred solution: The option to TURN OFF ERICA

Verified Reviewer |Clarksville Md Branch is the worse.
- - 20-minute wait at Clarksville Md; no change.
- - One clerk for four in line.
- - The reviewer notes branch closures and long-time customer status.
I understand what it is to be a new employee. However, I waited at the Clarksville, MD branch for 20 minutes.
Then at the counter, I was told she doesn't have change, quarters, nickels, dimes, etc. And only one clerk, four of us standing in line. Is it that you do not want our business anymore? I have been with you for 49 years.
You closed the Kings Contrivance branch as well as the Owen Brown branch.
This is an unacceptable way to run a banking business.
