Complaint narrative:
A {$500.00} Vanilla VISA value gift card bought from XXXX and XXXX of {$1500.00} value Vanilla VISA gift card bought from XXXX are all problem cards that I can't access to any of the money on it. The one from XXXX can't read some of the card numbers and apparently it was scratched and tampered by someone before I bought. I opened it right after I paid the card at the cashier and found the problem but XXXX people said I have to contact Vanilla for refund because the payment has went through. I called Vanilla immediately and a agent checked the balance on the card using some bar code on back of the card, {$500.00} was in the card at the time of the call and the agent freeze the card to protect. They said they will get me a replacement and it can take XXXX to XXXX business days. But I never received any replacement so far and no email response at all! For the total {$1500.00} value Vanilla VISA card bought from XXXX, they are XXXX {$500.00} value cards and I checked the balance the day I bought them and the balance looked right that each of them had {$500.00} on it, totaling to {$1500.00}. However wherever I wanted to use the card, all transactions were declined. So I called Vanilla customer service and the agent said these cards are bad and can not use although the money are in them. So I requested refund but they said I have to wait 30 days before they can process anything. The agent opened XXXX cases for investigation and requested some documents such as the card pictures, receipts and address verification docs, which I sent more than 4 times to the email and fax number I was told, but the business kept saying that they never received my documents and can't issue my any replacement or refund. But actually I even received system automatic email notifications saying that the email has been received so apparently the business is just trying to not giving me back the funds. None of those XXXX based call center agents are able to help and they just kicked us around and the cases are falling to black holes now! It has been more than a month since I bought those cards and I really need to get my {$2000.00} back immediately! The case numbers with the business Incomm payments are XXXX and XXXX.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Check cashing service
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I attempted to cash a check I had just received from a customer. The check was from Bank of America, and I attempted to cash it at the Bank of America XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. 

I came into the bank in my work uniform with my name tag on it, having just gotten out XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was sweaty and tired after a long day of work. Despite this, I was told after a lengthy wait that the check could not be verified. The check was for {$2000.00}. I asked why it couldn't be verified and was told they couldn't give me a reason. Instead, I was advised to either contact the issuer of the check or take it to my financial institution. 

I questioned how my bank could verify a Bank of America check better than Bank of America itself, but I received the same response : contact the issuer or deposit the check at my bank. This all occurred after they had marked, stamped, and written all over my check. 

I asked what policy had been violated or what issue prevented the check from being verified, but they refused to provide an answer. Instead, more employees gathered behind the glass, seemingly to intimidate me. 

I then told them that I had the customer 's phone number and offered to call her. They said they couldn't do that and repeated that there was nothing they could do. Once again, I asked what policy had been violated or what the issue was. They told me they didn't have to explain anything. I expressed my dissatisfaction, pointing out the lengthy wait and the lack of transparency in denying my request, and stated that something else was going on. They brushed it off with a dismissive " of course not, sir. '' I believe this is racism, plain and simple. Bank of America has a long history of racism and has faced multiple lawsuits. It's a real shame, as a veteran who was once forced into making an account there when I joined the service, to see this behavior. 

Additionally, the customer who issued the check is also upset about the discriminatory treatment I faced and plans to visit the branch herself to understand what happened. 

My father also experienced poor treatment at this bank, which prompted him to quickly pay off a car he financed with them due to their behavior.
