XX/XX/2019Per XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX Tax Collector ) The check ( for duplicate tax payment ) was issued to XXXX ( Check number XXXX ) and XXXX cashed the check XX/XX/2019. 

Monday, XX/XX/2019AROUND XXXX XXXX -- RECEIVED CALL FROM BANK OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWING UP ON A BAD SURVEY. TO BE QUITE TRUTHFUL, ALL ZEROS WAS AN EXCELLENT SURVEY -- ACCURATE AND TO THE POINT. I WAS LIED TO AGAIN, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LEVEL PROVIDED WAS ( AT MINIMUM ) A NEGATIVE 100! 

THIS PARTICULAR BANK OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE CONTINUALLY HARRASSED AND ANTAGONIZED ME DURING THE ENTIRE CALL. HE BLATENTLY CALLED ME A LIAR ( I STATED I HAD RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM BANK OF AMERICA REGARDING MY MORTGAGE ; HE STATED THE MORTGAGE DEPARTMENT DOESNT SEND E-MAILS, AND IT WAS A SCAM. ) I HAVE SAVED THE E-MAIL FOR VERIFICATION. I QUESTIONED THIS E-MAIL BECAUSE BANK OF AMERICA TOOK AWAY ACCESS TO MY ON-LINE MORTGAGE ACCOUNT ; WHY WOULD BANK OF AMERICA SEND AN E-MAIL TO ME INSTRUCTIING ME TO GO TO MY ON-LINE ACCOUNT, WHEN IT NO LONGER EXISTED???? 

ADDITIONALLY, HE SAID I GAVE A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE I DIDNT LIKE THE RESPONSES PROVIDED. HE STATED HE CONTACTED XXXX & PAYMENT HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED AS OF XX/XX/XXXX. IN REALITY, XXXX CASHED THE CHECK 4 DAYS PRIOR ( XX/XX/2019 ).  HE BLATENTLY LIED TO ME, AND I DONT BELIEVE HIM THAT HE EVER CONTACTED XXXX. 

I ALSO THINK HE SUPRESSED THE SURVEY SO ONE WOULD NOT BE SENT AFTER OUR HORRIFIC PHONE CALL. EVEN THOUGH A SURVEY WAS NOT RECEIVED, I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED BY THIS INDIVIDUAL.
