I received a letter from BOFA saying they will close all my credit cards accounts in 30 days, if I didn't send my ID documents. 
I sent everything they asked for by USPS priority mail, and I have a receipt with tracking number and also a inquiry response from USPS saying it was delivered at right address. 
After a 20 days calling and hearing from then that they can't confirm if it was received or not, they closed all my accounts ( two, credicard and visa ), and the answer was they never received the documents and can't do nothing about it. 
I went to my agency of BOFA in person with all my documents but they didn't helped me.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Just earlier this week, my credit score was around XXXX. I woke up around the XXXX of XXXX XXXX and it was a XXXX. 

There is nothing that shows differently on my report today than it showed for the past few months. Why another huge reduction to my score? 

Plus, there is a closed account showing it was paid off in 7 months ( Equafax ). Equafax also show my score drastically drop XXXX points. Why did either ( XXXX, Equafax, and XXXX ) drop my score? I have 100 % on time payments, never had a late payment, oldest credit line is 4 years. Why keep doing this to my credit?

Complaint narrative:
My account was closed around XX/XX/year> ( that was the date when my balance showed XXXX ). Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received the check in the amount of more than XXXX. I went to the branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TX XXXX were I opened the account, and they could not help me because their phone lines were not working, So I went to a branch at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX. The lady who attended me told me I had to call customer service, I explained her that I had tried that, but since I had neither the app nor the debit card that would not work. The lady in a bad manner told me that it was my problem, not hers. I went back to the XXXX XXXX  branch around XXXX XXXX  and they had the same issue with their phone lines. 
So, my more than XXXX are in limbo and there's nobody I can go to. 
The only reason they gave for closing my account is a counterfeit check that somebody gave me. I reported the mismanagement of the issue to this board, and I guess BofA closed the account as a way to punish me.

Complaint narrative:
I, and my son who lives in the same household both applied for a promotional credit card offer from Bank of America last year on XX/XX/XXXX. We received mailed solicitation materials that included a toll-free number to call. We did and gained information about a promotion that would allow us to pay off some other interest bills or accounts, and would receive a 0 % interest rate on our balances until XXXX of XXXX. Well recently I noticed interest charges being billed on my account, so I finally found time to call in and inquire as to why. We both talked on the phone today to a very nice person, her name was XXXX XXXX. She says it was ok to use her name in our complaint. We asked XXXX, why were we being billed finance charges now since the XXXX Statements. after about an hour and a half of researching, she advised us that the person who completed our XXXX XXXX Loan application, should not have mailed us out what was called ( Access Checks ). Whis is what we did receive. She advised us that the checks ended the promotion earlier than if the representative had paid off the accounts for us. The promotion was supposed to run through XXXX of XXXX, but ended on XX/XX/XXXX, affecting our XXXX bills and thereafter. I advised her that was very disturbing because on my account it has caused some over charges of ( XXXX ) and XXXX on my sons account. The person who processed our promotion, had assured us the expiration would be in 18 months. I still have the promotional mailings sent to us. XXXX appolized that the person who helped us did not process the offer properly. She advised us that it should have been done either by phone or on line to pay of the debetors, but not by sending us the access checks. She said the access checks changed the timeing on the promotion.
