Complaint narrative:
Bank of America frequently takes funds from my credit line when there is enough money in my bank account to fund my purchase. In addition to this, they charge a {$12.00} overdraft fee. These unnecessary fees for fund transfers that should 've never been authorized have accumalated to a total of {$100.00} fee that should be refunded. 

BOA continues to state that I should check my account at XXXX EST to make sure that it 's not negative before i make a purchase. HOwever, I have done this, multiple times, and they continue to unethically take money from my credit line and charge me a fee. 

BOA is either : a. ) being deceptive and not letting it 's customers know the exact cutoff time ( it might not be XXXX in California ).
