Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In early of XX/XX/year> I received offers for a capital one card, which i finally applied for and got approved on XX/XX/XXXX. The offer was still active, and was redeemed through the link sent by capital one. 

Once approved, I contacted Capital One Customer Service, to verify that the bonus offer was linked to my account, to which they said no. I immediately closed the account, and thankfully received my security deposit back. Having Capital One on my credit report is insulting to me because of the lie, and not willing to work on the issue.

Issue: Problem with customer service — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 my partner and I both got a cashier 's checks for about {$25000.00} from our joined savings account in our credit union. On XX/XX/2024 we both went to our local branch of Bank of American to deposit those checks to our separate checking accounts in Bank of America. So we deposited the checks on the same date, at the same bank, within minutes from each other. My partner 's cashier check cleared within XXXX business days. Mine had some " deposit hold '' added to the deposit and was held hostage for additional few days. Bank of America 's customer service claimed it was a standard automated hold that applies to customers who deposit cashier 's checks on large amount of money for the first time. If this was the case then why was I singled out in having my check put on hold and access to MY MONEY blocked when it was a cashier 's check that was guaranteed with the money? It took almost an hour on the phone and escalation to upper management to have my money released. Money, that should not have been blocked for that long in the first place. Outrageous.

Company: BOEING EMPLOYEES' CREDIT UNION

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year ( I have not received a statement, so I am not able to verify specific date of incident ), my business and personal accounts had an overdraft. BECU blocked my online account, but I had not been informed, so I just thought it was a technical error or a password problem. I tried several times over the following days and weeks, but could not access, so I decided to call and ask for help. When I called, BECU informed me that they had closed my accounts ( including my credit card, which I had made timely payments on ) because of the overdraft. They said it was turned over to their " Financial Crimes '' department, which shocked me. I have never been treated like this by a bank. I have been a good customer and never had an issue. For them to respond in this manner was unfair, harsh, and lacked any kind of thoughtfulness toward me as a customer. 
When I looked into it, I found that I had deposited checks from another business of mine and from another personal account I held. The business has a couple of clients that owe a considerable amount of money ( over {$95000.00} ) and had been told one of the clients had wired the money to the accounts the checks were written from. They, in fact, had not, and were just trying to buy time to make their payment. I have been hit hard by the lack of payments from these clients, which know they owe the money. I'm sure they will pay, but I am having to reach out to them every few days to push them or at least get a status update. I've been assured that I will be paid, but I need BECU to be patient and understanding, while I work on getting this resolved with my clients, so I can cure the debt owed to BECU. 
I feel terrible about the overdrafts, and I will take care of what I owe. This was uninntentional on my end and, I believe, understandable. Some leeway should be granted to me by BECU, and allow me to make payments or wait until I am paid completely and can pay the entire amount owed ( approximately {$9000.00} total between the accounts ). I also need my access to the online banking restored, so I can make regular payments, get records of the transactions, get statements, and manage the accounts. Cutting me off immediately, put me in the dark, with no explanation for weeks. Had I known early on, I would have been able to track and manage this a lot better. 
I need any fees waived where possible, my accounts restored and allowed to continue, and I need any credit reporting removed. I have been hit hard enough by our clients ' lack of payments and need support and understanding. I'm committed to resolving this.
