Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX of this year, I went to my credit union to make a wire transfer to Bank of America to pay off my mortgage. I had in hand a payoff letter from BofA with instructions on making the wire transfer. The instructions were somewhat sketchy, and there was no information on how to provide my loan number so that the transfer could be applied to my mortgage account. I made a guess about what data element should contain my loan number, and I called the BofA mortgage department while I was sitting in the credit union to confirm that I should do it this way. The rep said he thought that was probably fine so we went ahead. 

The next morning I got a phone call from my credit union saying that BofA had bounced back my wire transfer because they couldn't apply it as formatted, and they withheld {$45.00} from the amount they returned. I went back to the credit union and we did another wire transfer and this time I tried the other possible way to fill the data elements. This time it worked. 

I have contacted BofA multiple times over the past week to discuss getting my {$45.00} returned to me - I did the best I could with the payoff letter and my bank rep didn't think there was anything wrong with what I did. No one at BofA can even see the {$45.00}, because it wasn't a fee charged, it was an automated penalty done by computer and it's not associated with my loan. 

This is theft. It is not like I wrote them a check that bounced. There was plenty of funding sitting there in the transfer and no human had to intervene to return the money, the computer just helped itself to my funds. Nobody at BofA to whom I have spoken even offered to send me a check as a courtesy to make me go away, despite the absolute certainty that I have used more than {$45.00} of their staff resources trying to get an answer to this question. 

If this is how BofA is going to operate, they need to disclose in their payoff letter that a penalty may apply if you get the transfer wrong, and they need to make their payoff letter more explicit as to how you format the wire transfer. 

I have documents of the wire transfers and the payoff letter, I can provide them if they are needed but currently they are not in electronic format.
