Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I opened an account at Bank of America ( BOA ). I had previously been a bank of American customer. A few hours after opening the account, I attempted to transfer my XXXX service from XXXX XXXX to the new BOA account. Using the BOA desktop site, I could not complete the transfer of my phone number of email address from XXXX XXXX and received a message that neither were eligible for XXXX. I contacted BOA to resolve this. After several transfers and being told a variety of conflicting information, it ultimately came down to a block on my BOA XXXX account due to suspected fraud on my part. This was a surprise since I had not had an account with BOA for some time, the new account was just opened, and I had been using XXXX with no issue at XXXX XXXX. Not to mention I do not engage in illegal or fraudulent activity. I requested more information and was informed by BOA that they can not tell me any details and to speak to the person who reported the fraud, yet they could not tell me who that person was. I asked how to dispute this and was told there was no way to dispute the XXXX block. During the call, I tested my XXXX XXXX XXXX account and sent money to a friend without issue using the same email and phone I was attempting to transfer. The person I spoke to clarified that it was blocked at BOA only and still could not offer details. Since I can swear and affirm that I have not committed fraud of any sort, at BOA or elsewhere, I believe this is either a mistake or glitch on BOA 's side, or perhaps even someone acting out of vindictiveness by reporting me. I asked for a copy of my previous XXXX activity at BOA, but BOA would not provide me with this history either directly or through statements. Without the ability to dispute and without access to a list of my BOA XXXX transactions, I believe I am being treated unfairly with no way for recourse.
