Complaint:
i have been fighting with bank of america for over 3 1/2 years now and they are playing silly games!!! I recently filed a complaint with CFPB about 75 days ago, and i got a response from CFPB that the bank said i should call them to make a report of fraud, well i had already done this in XX/XX/XXXX, but i figure id try it again, after 10 phone calls i finally was transferred 5 times through all departments [ 45 mins ] to get to the fraud department, and they told me the same thing!!!!!! as XX/XX/XXXX, AFTER ANSWERING ALL THEIR SECURITY QUESTIONS THEY WANTED TO KNOW MY DEBIT CARD NUMBER FROM XX/XX/XXXX OR WOULD NOT PROCESS ANY CLAIM!!! THIS IS TOTALLY STUPID BEYOND MY BELIEF,!!! THEY SAY BECAUSE IT IS A FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REQUESTED THEY WILL NOT PROCESS A CLAIM FOR FRAUD??!!! THIS IS CLEARLY CRIMINAL,!!! so lets take a look at this FRAUD, there was a debit purchase made in XX/XX/XXXX at " the battery shop '' for XXXX. at that time the account was closed with a XXXX balance, how could a debit occur when there was a XXXX balance?? they can not answer, furthermore ive been a XXXX all my live and drive a XXXX truck, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BUYS A XXXX $ $ BATTERY?? not even XXXX, ive sent them a letter asking for validation of debt and CEASE AND DESIST, and they send me back a statement, a statement proves NOTHING!! ive called over 50 times over the past years to experience manipulative un-coroperative, criminal behavior, its a discrace!! furthermore they are in NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS OF FDCPA!!! alledged debt reported inaccuratly, defamation of character, many disputes by me and they fail to show validation, they refuse to correct false information, they still continue to report an unvalidated debt, heres about 6000 $ $ in violations, FURTHERMORE THIS ALLEGED DEBT IS PAST 7 YEARS OLD EFFECTIVE XX/XX/XXXX!!! AND THEY OWE FINES FOR THAT TOO!! THIS BANK OF AMERICA IS NOTHING LESS THAN XXXX CRIMINALS, THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW OR ANYBODY 'S RIGHTS, THEY ARE TOTALLY WITHIN THE WRONG!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND NEGLECTFUL IN ALL ASPECTS OF MORALITY AND COMMUNICATION TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!! i can go on and on and on, the total retardation when you call them how many times they play their silly word games and transfer the line when a problem so simple could be solved so easily, they still REFUSE to cooperate and play games > > just like the criminals they are!! so can anyone tell me why after 7 years theyre still reporting an alleged debt??, WHY BANK OF AMERICA IS IN MY LIFE WITH NO VALID CONTRACT?? PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, bank of america at least should have been out of my life with this frivolous XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they are over months PAST DUE, so they owe me for that violation also, i will continue to complain untill they are gone!!! so to the CFPB, i did call them and try to resolve this matter 4 days ago and they drove me NUTS on the phone and kept requiring me to give them a debit card # from XX/XX/XXXX, this is totally XXXX, nonsence!!!
