Consumer complaint received 07/31/2015 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Bank of America refuses to honor the Power of Attorney I submitted so that I can manage my Aunt XXXX financial affairs. They refuse to remove an unauthorized {$25.00} annual membership charge by XXXX XXXX XXXX from her {$0.00} balance account and refuse to close the account. If they had closed the account when I asked them too, XXXX XXXX XXXX would not have been able to perform their little money harvesting operation. 
I have called BOA repeatedly. Supposedly, they filed a complaint for me in-house and were going to call me back when someone had a response for me, but nothing ever happened. I got one ridiculous phone call from some poor call center person in a fake executive issues office ( every large corp has these and they are WORTHLESS ) who tried to tell me that I could n't do anything on my Aunt 's behalf. 
XXXX XXXX *My Aunt is XXXX that her Medicare assigned doctor did not test her for when asked to do so. This happened because my Aunt XXXX is " just a Medicare patient '' and this doctor does not treat the patients assigned to her by Medicare. I learned this from a whistleblower in her office. ( A formal complaint has been filed with the XXXX, but they are also a chronically corrupt organization with a 15 year record of failed investigations and legislative oversight boards that accomplish nothing. No wonder people riot XXXX XXXX. 
* * *Anyway, if I remember correctly, there will be a place at the end of this process to attach supporting documents. I have one file to attach with XXXX pages containing the POA and it 's proof of delivery by certified mail, the insulting correspondence from BOA, the last XXXX invoices for the BOA XXXX that I have asked them to close after removing the unauthorized charge. 
* * *I have also been communicating with a gentleman at Aunt XXXX XXXX BOA bank branch. At the commercial banking level, I have been able to function, remove debit cards and manage my Aunt 's checking account. XXXX XXXX has been very helpful thus far, but he was unable to help me with this aspect of BOA 's operation. 
* * *Please do not do what you did last time. Please do not just send all of this to BOA and ask for a response. That does NOT work. BOA is a monolithic organization that is too big to live. It is a nightmare of consumer abuse. The last time the CFPB did this, all I got was a response that was completely unrelated to the issue and nearly impossible to access on the website. Worst of all, the offending organization actually stated in their response that the case was closed. And I never could get anyone at the CFPB, even escalating to the Ombudsman, to follow through and make sure that the problem was solved. 
NOTE : In the drop down below there is no selection for Power of Attorney issues. I have talked to MANY people who are caring for the elderly who have been treated like XXXX by banks and other organizations - but mostly the banks. Please add this to the drop down. 

Please do better this time.
