Modification-Predatory Lending Practices
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
Bank of America is both predatory and an unethical institution. They have only one agenda, to target the exact people they are supposedly trying to help. There is not an incentive for them to preform modifications because if you have PMI and you have made payments on your home for several years it is in their best interest to foreclose on the home so they actually are making more money than if they were to reduce your interest rate. Plus they are pocketing what monies you put down to secure the loan. BOA has one agenda, to take your home but also mislead you by saying that they are running...

Insurance Claim
Bank of America Consumer Review
I spoke with B of A Property Claim Services regarding endorsement on claims check to repair hail damages to my home in Mississippi.
The representative from B of A was very polite, friendly, helpful and professional. She located my documents and confirmed that the check was returned via U.S. Postal service within the past 3 days and should arrive by end of the week.
I looked at prior reviews and I want everyone to know that B of A was very helpful and professional. Thank you B of A.

BOA complicit with fraudulent tanning company
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
Bank of America needs to change its policy where a wronged person must provide all evidence while the perpetrator does not to show evidence. We bought a kit from spraytan LA in October 2912. There was a verbal phone agreement for an item for sale on craig's list. If the sale was agreed to on the spot the item would cost $1000. less. There was no email sent to buyer confirming the sale. There was no packing papers in box with contract.
14 days were usual return time, but package did not arrive in 14 days. When credit card
charges arrived, spraytan LA had over charged by $2900....

Bank of America Service
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
Absolutely the worst service I have ever had by any business anywhere. 1. Asked for my same debit card number and was told that was possible and then received a new debit card with a different number. When I tried to call any number anywhere that had to do with customer service, I was connected to my account information. Ridiculously hard to get an actual person on the phone. Even if it was not possible I believe I deserve an explanation or could have been warned in advance. 2. Was not told about $5.00 fee to get new debit card. Understand that would cover the cost to make the thing...

Bank of America, short sale nightmare
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
We are trying to purchase a short sale home through Bank of America. We had to move out of our home on Jan. 1st and put a bid in on the home in question the same day. The owners accepted the bid and we were told that the bank was working with them and we should hear something soon. I own a small business and we needed to rent two storage units and a home but expected to hear about approval fairly soon. It's now going on four months and we have been told for weeks that everything is completed except one signature but still nothing. We now find ourselves having to move again for who...

Timely Response / Customer Satisfaction
Bank of America Consumer Review
I am extremely satisfied with the timely response from Bank of America. About 24 hours ago, I put in a complaint pertaining to their assets department. Less than 12 hours after posting my complaint, I got a very informative response. There was a misinterpretation on the agents behalf, but Bank of America informed me that the property was not going up for auction and that our offer had been accepted.
Its customer service practices like these that make a business really stand out. These practices keep their business reputation growing in a sound manner. THANK YOU Bank of America. My husband...

Bank of America unethical practices by assets mortgage department
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
On February 15, 2013 an assets manager for Bank Of America called my husband and told him that they were not going to put the house we were interested in for auction. She went on to tell him that we just had to amend our last offer and that they would take the asking price. We got approved for the loan and met up with the real estate agent to change the paperwork that same day. On February 22, 2013 we got a phone call from our agent stating that the bank had changed their mind and the house was going up for auction.
This was a dream home for us and we did as we were told by the bank. Where...

Bank of America: continues withdrawing funds after I cancel auto pay....TWICE!!!
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
In 2012 Bank of America sold my auto loan to Citizens Bank. I was informed I needed to setup auto pay with Citizens while also canceling my auto pay with B of A. So I did both back in Dec. of 2012.

bank of america property claim fraud!!!
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
Bank of America is the most shameful company I have dealt with. Since October 2012 I have been fighting with bank of america to return my insurance check to repair my property. I have used every dollar I had saved to repair the water damage to my home. I have called over 40 times, and faxed and resent paperwork twice a week. The story changes every time I call. The so called supervisors dont know a thing to resolve and get anything handled. They sent someone to inspect my home to verify it was completed 2 months ago and told me now they have to send someone out again to verify the repairs...

Short Sales with B of A are a nightmare
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
I am a realtor that work with several banks. But I have heard from everyone in the industry that B of A is the hardest company to work with regarding getting a resolution. I worked two files with B of A and they took almost one year to clear. The bank ask you to follow the agent resource center but, I think they need to review the process themselves. No one can get in touch with the negotiators no one can do anything even if you give them information needed. The voice mail states allow 2 days for reply. That's a joke. They never contact you back. I have listing that are B of A...

Claims Department
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
This institution has probably the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Not only do the employees lack the ability to solve problems, when you finally are able to speak to a supervisor you are spoken to very rudely and given no solution. After making a claim that was never resolved, I called to find out they had not even opened the claim because they had lost my paperwork. After re-submitting this claim and waiting 40 days (with no response) I called again and was told that there was an error and my claim was never re-opened. Nothing has been resolved and no one has made an...

Bank of America lost a customer for live over a $12 fee.
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
I cashed a refund check mailed to me by a multimillion dollar communications company. The check was returned as canceled. ( a mistake by the communications company, who immediately sent me a new check) Bank of America then charged me a $12 returned item fee. I called customer service to ask them why they charged me after a very reputable company's check was returned and asked them to kindly remove it from my account. The customer service rep was absolutely no help, so I asked for the highest supervisor available. The supervisor (who by the way was very rude) then proceeded to tell...

MODIFIED MORTGAGE LOAN PROCESS
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
I'm appalled at the utter incompetency of this major institution. Over one year ago I contacted Bank of America to discuss modification of my mortgage after my divorce. After months of submitting and resubmitting various paperwork, they told me in June 2012 that I was approved to enter into a "trial period". I had to pay this lower modified amount for three months and everything should be fine. I did so, meanwhile there records reflect that I'm behind on my payments because I'm not making the normal mortgage payments. I've never been late in 15 years and...

Bank of America aids fraud
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
Bank of America has become the scum of the earth in my eyes. I will begin to actively make public the number of ways you have aided to drain an elderly couple of all their money and possessions.
First, my elderly parents own a house at the shore. They were sitting on their front porch minding their own business when a shyster stopped by off the street and talked them into a reverse mortgage.
Second and most unbelievable, yesterday someone called pretending to be their granddaughter and talked them into wiring 10 thousand dollars for"bail" money. Your bank helped them to do that....

fees for wire transfer
Bank of America Support Ticket
i was charged $50 for a wire transfer when I did it online. It does not stated that there is a fee for the wire transfer. it just state "null" I took "null" and meaning nothing void, non-existent. It lists the ACH fees for 3 days and 7-days, but just says "null" for the same day wire. I do not think it is fair I was charged a total of $50. Yes it may have been disclosed when I initially opened the account, but I have had my account since 1993 when it was Craigin Bank, and this was my first wire.

Wire Transfer Problem
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
My son has a business, and he had some unexpected expenses crop up, so he asked if we would do a same-day outside-the-bank transfer to cover him for a few days. At 2:36 p.m. on Friday, I did the online transfer. Both he and I received e-mails that the transfer was pending, but the money was not sent by Saturday morning, so I called B of A customer service. After giving numerous proofs of identity, I was told I needed a different department. That happened again, until I got to the third person, who asked 10-12 ID questions of both me and my husband, but still couldn't give us an answer!...

Mortgage Fraud
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
I keep hearing about so many people that let/lost their houses in foreclosure and they received assistance. I owned a home (with my mortgage through Bank of America) which I had to borrow money from my mom to put money down on. I was married and going through a divorce with a BOA mortgage employee at the time, and he put me into a 5 year interest free loan back in 2005. I was current on my payments for 5 years, but when it came to 2010, it was when no one knoew what the market was going to do so I needed to refinance. Bank of America refused to refinance my loan because muy mom was not an...

Bank of America Cash Rewards credit card
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
If you like a credit card that isn't worth the piece of plastic then this is the credit card for you. The card only worked 4 or 5 times in the few months I owned it. It never worked at fuel stations, probably a way for the bank to save on cash rewards. It declined a purchase of socks at target. It became a game of chance at restaurants. If you don't mind the "sorry sir the card was declined" in front of your friends then get this card. Speaking to customer service in the phone they said they needed to "work out my spending habits" as if buying groceries at the...

Loan prequalification

I have an account with BoA since my MS study. After school, BoA is always my bank for direct deposit and all the financial activities. However, I went to one of the branch of BoA (20 Ranch Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035) today
(Dec/29/2012) for loan prequalification, the loan specialist took a glance on my company's online W-2 and said it was editable and not acceptable. I told her it was my company's online W-2 and was always IRS accepted, she said that even if it was IRS accepted, it was not the regular type W-2 and was not acceptable by BoA. Is it really true that there is a...

NLB Services
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
We are extremely unhappy with the business tools service online. Their secure ID Code has been down for 3 days and as a result we are unable to send any wires out or add any new vendors. Since we were relying on their business tools, we have such a big issue with our customers now. Their customer service tells us that it will take another week to resolve this issue. I am so surprised that it takes them 10 days to resolve such a critical customer issue and they don't even seem to take it seriously. Their IT department should be fired and totally replaced!!!

Bank of America did acknowledge that this was an error and sent me a letter apologizing for the error, but continued to charge me overdraft fees and label my account as an account that received overdrafts making all other check deposits placed on a 2-1/2 week hold even when the checks were drawn on their bank and funds have been paid with 3-5 business days.

BofA - refinance
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
We applied for refinance in June 2012. Being current borrower we'd thought BofA has some sort of customer retention policy and we'll get decent rates, service, etc. Today, over 4 months later we'd been denied based on the appraisal that came with acceptible property value; however, per lender's request, the appraisal had been changed to "subject to" condition; therefore, loan denied due to unacceptible condition of the collateral. So, how independent is this appraisal if the Lender changes it the way they want? In addition, as a part of employment verification,...

Payment
Bank of America Consumer Complaint
While the creation of the mega banks was supposed to provide exponential service, it has produced some of the most inefficient financial institutions in the country. Then President Obama names them as one of the banks that "can't fail" thus giving them no incentive to improve their services enough for a customer to expect to receive the information regarding their account that BofA os obligated to provide. Whatever you do, refinance at your local community bank and keep your money out of the super banks. Its just a matter of time before printing money destroys the dollar and...

Failure to comply with National Mortgage Settlement
Bank of America Support Ticket
Although my mortgage loan fully qualifies for the National Mortgage Settlement for a refinance, my customer service rep at BofA says I don't because I have not been "solicited". This is despite finding our from the Principle Reduction office of BofA that my account fully qualifies (its a Countrywide subprime bought by BofA, with Bank of NY as the investor).
Terrible service since May, and I'm active duty combat veteran and I might lose my house in early 2013 when I'm ordered to move!

When I got home at 2 pm I had a voice mail message from the closing saying because he did not have docs from BOA, we would not close...

Instead of going to an ATM to withdraw money, I prefer going to the teller because I am willing to wait in line and request for somewhat new bills rather than old ones.

He even talked to another lady named Rosa about the situation and afterwards they both agreed that they didn't want to give me new bills.

How the Government & Bank of America Destroy Small Businesses

As Bank of America bought Countrywide Loans, our loan was transferred to Bank of America, and we continued to pay Bank of America our current home loan payments. Also, our business had a $50,000 line of credit with Bank of America in addition to a $75,000 line of credit with Advanta Bank Corporation, which we had yet to use.
When we attempted to activate our line of credit with Advanta Bank Coporation due to difficult times for our business, we were told the company was purchased by Bank of America. Bank of America would later tell us that this line of credit we had been saving has...
