Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from BOA about my credit line being decreased due to a past-due amount. This was confusing because the account was set for auto payment. Today I spoke with representatives from both departments, collection and customer service, and asked why the system didn't update to reflect the new payment for the minimum amount due. I also asked why is it that I did not receive a text, email, or phone call related to this change and the amount due. I have always charged $ XXXX to $ XXXX and paid it off the next month. I have never had an issue with paying the balance. 

I believe this issue occurred in XX/XX/2024. I tried several times to use the card and could not. I called Customer Service and they said there were no restrictions on the card. If there were an issue with the payment due it should have been stated at that time. Representatives must be knowledgeable and thorough when dealing with such issues. 

This ruthless and unethical behavior will hurt my credit score which will show that I used up approximately 90 % of the available credit. Therefore this will also make it difficult for me to obtain credit at a reasonable rate. If BOA has added late fees and reported this information to the credit agencies I demand that they resolve these issues immediately. I should not be penalized for their errors.
