Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Chime is holding my direct deposit stating that I have to verify via email before they release my funds. I have been getting direct deposit from the same company on the same day for 2 years. I have called 5 times spending total of 3 hours on the phone with them today and they still wont give me a reason why my funds are being held and still havent sent a email for me to verify. The first 2 people told me there was nothing wrong and they didnt have my deposit. Once I asked for a supervisor she then told me it was being held for verification but she didnt know what needed to be verified. This is very frustrating that they are holding my direct deposit but cant tell me what for or when they will release it.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America approved me a new credit card. Once I received the plastic via postal mail, I tried to activate it using the options they provide. Those are : their internet page, mobile app, or phone call. 

When the internet page and the app wont let me activate the card, I tried calling. They informed me that the account is blocked and that I need to go personally to a service center or use the app. 

First, the app dont open because I am a new customer and the information they request is the one of the new card that they had blocked. 

Second, I cant go to a service center because there are no service centers in XXXX XXXX. They approved this card knowing that is not an option for me. 

Since they alleged this are the only ways to resolve the block and activate the card, and is not possible to do any of them, I ask for the cancellation of the credit line and to actualice of my credit information. 

They told me they cant cancel the credit card because the account is block and I need to go to the app or to a service center. Once again options I already told them are not possible for me. 

They transfer me to different call centers and they were unable to give a different solution. 

All those conversations were recorded. Both in XXXX and in XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I went to the BofA branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX CA to change the title of my account from my personal name to my revocable trust. I was asked to provide the name of a successor as part of the documentation. I stated I did not have a successor, but had an executor, the representative said it was the same. When asked to review the documentation, XXXX XXXX, the branch manager explained that they successor and executor are not the same - I confirmed this with my attorney via email while still at the bank and she agreed executor and successor are not the same. I then asked that my request to change the title to the account be nullified as I had NOT signed any documentation. XXXX indicated that it is not possible to change back to my individual name as it had been entered into the system - even with NO signature. XXXX stated that to have my account back to my own name, I would have to close the account. 

How can Bank of America change the title of my account with NO signature? How can a system override any signature requirement? Why is the staff at Bank of America uninformed about the documentation they ask customers to sign?
