Consumer complaint received 2025-10-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have an excellent credit history and always pay my credit cards in full and on time. Over the last several months, I was unexpectedly charged interest on my Bank of America credit card because my autopay never successfully enrolled. 

I had attempted multiple times to set up autopay through Bank of Americas website and app, but the process was confusing, inconsistent, and repeatedly failed or dropped me mid-setup. Each time I thought I had enrolled, I later discovered that no payment had actually been scheduled. This led to missed payment dates and interest charges, even though I had sufficient funds and full intent to pay. 

After realizing the issue, I tried to contact Bank of America to request that the interest and any related fees be refunded. I explained that the autopay enrollment process is poorly designed and misleading there are multiple steps that are not clearly indicated, and other customers online have documented the same problem. I requested that the bank reverse these charges and confirm that autopay was successfully activated. 

Despite these efforts, the issue was not resolved, and the bank has not refunded the interest. I believe this situation is unfair and deceptive because the banks autopay setup process effectively prevents customers from enrolling successfully, causing avoidable interest charges. I am requesting : A full refund of all interest and late-payment fees that resulted from the failed autopay setup Written confirmation that autopay is now active Removal of any negative credit reporting related to these missed payments I can provide screenshots, timestamps of attempted enrollments, and links to multiple independent consumer reports describing the same autopay issues with Bank of Americ

Complaint narrative:
I was told to call back in 24 hours after being told from an agent from the CFPB. Which I was told on yesterday to couple days ago to call all three bureaus, I did file the dipute as instructed with XXXX but not with Experian nor with Equifax. I need to file a dispute against XXXX and on my credit file and I was told to call Equifax today and they are giving me the runaround. I did my verification process two times and called two times trying to get my dispute established and has not been able to. A lot of stagnant information and not getting any assistance. I cant even get in touch with Experian because their AI system is not letting me get past to speak with an Agent. I have called days after days and still nothing can not get done. I have a dispute again I need to file with Equifax and Experian regarding the company Avant which there is a complaint already filed for them, but I am now at a stand still and I cant get my disputes set up with these credit agencies. Which I do find disturbing. These agencies hold my livelihood in their hands and I am not able to get anything resolved due to their incompetence of the systems.
