Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent action taken on my account regarding a deposit made at the XXXX XXXX branch of Bank of America in XXXX, TN. 

I recently experienced a change in employment, having lost my previous job, but I have now secured a much better-paying position. However, this recent deposit has caused considerable inconvenience due to an unexpected hold being placed on the funds. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, at approximately XXXX XXXX, I deposited a check for {$3600.00} via mobile deposit at the location above. The receipt provided indicated that a hold was placed on the deposit, with the reason stated as : " We've placed a hold on your deposit because we have information indicating the check ( s ) may be returned. '' According to the receipt, I was told that the funds would not be available until XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX XXXX. This hold has caused significant frustration and disruption, as these funds are crucial for me to cover immediate living expenses following my job transition. 

Due to the holidays, the bank was closed and I was not able to go inside and get the check. 

After numerous calls to Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX, from XXXX XXXX  to XXXX XXXX, I was informed that the account would be closed, but no reason was given. I could not go into a branch and have a cashier 's check because the account was in the " active '' closing stages. The bank will be releasing the funds on directly to me, on XX/XX/XXXX or the check could be sent back to my employer. I was also told that I should call back tomorrow, Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, and ask for a hardship extension. 

I called today, XX/XX/XXXX and escalated the call to a supervisor, XXXX XXXX ( sp ), and was informed that nothing could be done because the account is actively closing and that the funds will be released on XX/XX/XXXX. I was not told that. At this point, I am getting the run-around and it is not fair. If our relationship is over, give me my things and we both can move on

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to a stand alone M & T ATM at XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX, NY XXXX, to deposit {$300.00} dollars. Almost immediately, there was a problem with the transaction. My deposit was not processed and the ATM ate the {$300.00} in cash. I immediately called the number on the ATM ( XXXX ). The representative informed me that they could not transfer me to customer support as they were closed for the holiday ( XXXX XXXX ) and that I would need to call tomorrow. I called the next morning and opened a dispute. They offered a {$300.00} dollars provisional credit while they investigated. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from M & T that following the investigation, that the {$300.00} provisional credit they gave me would be reversed. I called customer support to see how they possibly could have came to this conclusion. They informed me that the ATM is " self managing '' meaning that it keeps track of its own money, and that if there was extra money in it, that it would show it. This is an issue because as we all know, computers make mistakes. I was there. It ate my money. This would also be clearly visible on camera which I do not believe was checked, I escalated it to a supervisor who then changed the story to " Well we send someone out to count the money to check for overages ''. This again is not satisfactory due to human error. I also don't believe they did this, but that is besides the point. I was then informed by the supervisor that there was " Nothing more they could do '' for me and that there was no other way to escalate this. He stated he could open a complaint with customer care, but that there was " no guarantee '' they would even reach out to me. So now, I am out {$300.00} dollars of my money with no resolution. I have been an honest and loyal customer of M & T since I opened my first savings account. This was not investigated to my satisfaction and I am not letting this go. If submitting this complaint does not bring me a satisfactory response and resolution, they will not only lose a valued costumer of upwards of a decade, I also plan to take legal action. I also have no problem publishing my story to the local news and media outlets, as I am sure I am not the only one who has experienced this.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
