Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I waited for ten days for a wire transfer. 
Today, the company XXXX XXXX initiated the payment to Bank of America. Later at about XXXX XXXX, the XXXX XXXX rep contacted me to tell me that the Bank returned the wire payment because they needed an address. 

First of all, at the time I started with the XXXX XXXX, my address was different and I have since left that address. The Bank account was opened at that address, then the address was updated at the Bank. 

Second, I had already told the XXXX XXXX that I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX abroad and that they should not send me checks. I noticed they initially insisted on sending Checks and I questioned why they chose such a dangerous way to send people their funds given that the recipient had told them she is unavailable at the address. 

Besides, why would a rational person want to send a check when the recipient had refused the means because they are not going to be home and needed the funds asap for an XXXX abroad and all that is required is for the funds to be in their Bank account where the check would have ultimately been delivered? 

Third, it is not safe to send checks of such an amount in the United States. This is egregious. Kindly check the link to see what is even going on with the USPS : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Then 10 days later, the company now stated to me that the Bank returned the wire due to address issues. 
I am demanding an investigation of this matter. 
This has caused me irreparable harm and I am considering a lawsuit.

Company: Synovus Bank (FL)

Synovus Bank is closing my personal and business accounts. 
I deposited a cashiers check for XXXX. It was processed and verified by Synovus and cleared. Went to make a wire but denied. The wire was going into my personal account with a firm and recipient was in my name. It was denied because the bank rep didn't understand that the recipient address was the firm 's XXXX and not my personal address. 
After the denial, I moved the funds to wire to my other bank account at another bank so it can be processed without an issue. 
A few days later, Synovus froze and stated it was closing my accounts. They are withholding the remaining funds in my accounts for the review. Not understanding if they processed the original cashiers check and verified and cleared, why are they holding it for review if it was done already. They would not release it when I wanted the accounts closed and all funds returned to me. It was a business loan I must repay. I'm to pay for funds that Synovus is holding XXXX after it was cleared and verified?
