Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I live in  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  and I have a Visa credit card with Bank of America that I only use in the USA and they can verify mi card has not been used before outside the USA. On the      XXXX   XXXX   XXXX        I entered the online banking account and I noticed  two  charges on my credit card which I do n't recognized. The  two  charges appeared on the bank page to had beed made on the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    2017  and I called the bank to report a fraud on the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX      2017 . This were for {$5200.00} and {$5000.00}. The bank says the chip on my card was read for this transaction and that is not possible since my car is always kept in my safe box and I only take it out when I travel to the USA. Im completely sure that no one had access to my card. I requested a copy on the vouchers for this transactions and I finally received them yesterday, and verified that the signature on this vouchers are not my signature and are very different from the signature I have registered at the bank, also the personal ID number on the voucher is not mine either. In the vouchers the transactions appeared to be made on the    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX       2017  and now on the online bank page they are both dated on the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX     and not on the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   as I saw for the firs time. Considering the amount on this transactions the merchant must have requested a valid ID at the moment of running the card and they should have verified if name on ID matched name on card. Also according to the security benefits the bank offers on credit cards they block transactions with abnormal behavior. This is a perfect example, first because the card was being charged by an overseas merchant for the first time and second the amount of more than  XXXX   XXXX  dollars for each transaction is not normal and the bank didn'tt block this transactions. With the facts Im providing you, should be enough reason to consider this transactions as fraud but the bank for the second time does not consider so. I have reopened my fraud complain with the bank for the third time with all this arguments with no intentions to reimburse me the amount charged on this transactions. This is the reason Im requesting your help.

Citi  has no valid business reason to keep the hold on. I have a credit limit. That credit limit is fully secured. Citi is at no risk, so they have no reason to maintain the hold. I would like it released.

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I got approved for a CitiBank  XXXX   XXXX  credit card. It finally arrived yesterday  XXXX / XXXX /   17  in the mail and went online to activate the card but I as soon as I hit the activate button I received a message saying I need to contact Citibank Fraud support. When I called the number an agent whose name is  XXXX , ID :  XXXX  who asked for sensitive information such as the credit card number on my   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   card which I refused to give out due to    XXXX   has nothing to do with Citibank. She put me on hold several times for a long period of time when I asked to speak with a Supervisor/Manager. While on hold she hung up on me and did n't bother to call me back. I called in to my nearest  Citibank  branch and they said that no agent should  EVER  ask for credit card info other than a  Citibank  card. At this point I 'm extremely frustrated with this bank and they refused to cancel my account since I need to send a photocopy of my social security card along with my driver 's license over to them to verify my identity. This is extremely sensitive information that can not be shared on the internet let alone via email. I 'm reaching out to you guys seeking for further assistance with this matter. Let me know if you need more information from me, thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to apply for a checking account at  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  which I had to go through a credit check and apparently when I got back the results for an approval my credit was fine but   XXXX   had a check on it which declined my approval. I contacted my bank which was Bank Of America and asked if there were any outstanding balance on my account when I closed my checking account. Apparently, there were n't any outstanding balance and they sent me documentation via email and mail stating that they did an investigation and their research was completed. So I want to reapply again with the credit union but until I know that this resolution is resolved.

HOWEVER, I called my bank and they affirmed no request for payment had come from  XXXX , that  TELECHECK had made an error because my account ( a large one ) would have immediately paid for the purchase. I have tried to get  XXXX  and  Telecheck  to tell me WHO made this error so it can be corrected TODAY. I have been referred to people with no authority to do anything by both companies. I have spoken to people in various countries who are difficult to understand. I am livid at the fact that I can not talk with ANYONE who has the real authority to TELL ME THE TRUTH AND STRAIGHTEN OUT THIS MESS. Both companies need to be FINED and consumers need to be treated HONESTLY by people with authority to correct errors!
