Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

I deposited XXXX different checks totaling roughly {$160000.00} on XX/XX/23. We have have had deposit holds before ( every once in a while ) but surprisingly all XXXX checks were put on hold until XX/XX/23, including a {$50000.00} cashiers check! I also deposit millions of dollars of checks every year, so this was a shock to say the least. 

I tried contacting Bank of America see what their reasoning was for putting a hold on XXXX individual checks all at the same time. I spoke to a manager, and they had no clear explanation or logical reason that could ever possibly apply to all XXXX checks. I have many people to pay before the hold is released, and this is quite ridiculous that they can put a hold on these many checks all at once.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (OH)

Upon reviewing my credit reports I noticed a collection account listed by XXXX XXXX that I did not recognize. This account shows on my credit reports as owing {$570.00}. I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX disputing this debt and asking for validation of this debt with competent evidence bearing my signature showing that I had an obligation to pay this company. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter back from XXXX stating they were uncertain of what I was disputing, and also sent a billing statement that I have never seen before. They did not include what I was asking for, validation the account was mine bearing my signature. Also the amount they are now claiming I owe is different from what they reported to the credit bureaus. I then responded with another certified letter informing them they they have failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence bearing my signature that the account is reporting accurately and also asking for proof that I have some contractual obligation to pay them the money they are claiming that I owe and asking them to delete this account from my credit reports if they can not provide a contract with my signature. I received a response dated XX/XX/XXXX stating again that they are uncertain of what I am disputing and providing no other information, and no evidence bearing my signature that this account is mine.
