CONTINUING THE CLAIM MADE ON ANOTHER OCCASION UNDER THE NUMBER XXXX, I UPDATE THE PROBLEM IN THIS CLAIM. I AM A CUSTOMER OF BANK OF AMERICA, I ASKED THEM TO BLOCK A TRANSACTION FROM A CAR RENTAL COMPANY, CERTAINLY I MADE A CONTRACT WITH THEM BUT THIS CAR COMPANY IS CHARGING MONEY THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE CHARGING AND I HAVE THE PROOF. EVERYTHING STARTED VERY BAD WITH THE BANK BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE THE CLAIM TWICE FOR THE FACT TO BE EFFECTIVE. THE BANK RETURNED THE MONEY TO ME AS I SAID IN THE PREVIOUS CLAIM, THEY SENT ME A LETTER WHERE THEY SAID THAT IF THEY NEED MORE INFORMATION FROM ME THEY WILL LET ME KNOW, HOWEVER ON XX/XX/XXXX I RECEIVED ANOTHER DIGITAL LETTER WHERE IT SAYS THAT THEY REACHED THE AGREEMENT CONCLUSION TO THE INFORMATION THAT I GAVE WHEN MAKING THE CLAIM AND WITH THE INFORMATION FROM THE CAR RENTAL COMPANY THAT THE TRUTH IS WHAT THE OTHER PARTY " THE CAR COMPANY '' SAYS. AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND FROM THE ABOVE DESCRIBED, THE BANK REACHES A CONCLUSION WITHOUT ASKING ME FOR THE DETAILS AND EVIDENCE OF WHAT I SAY, BUT LIKE THE OTHER COMPANY SHOWS YOU PAPERS IF YOU BELIEVE THEM. BEING THAT I AM THE CUSTOMER OF BANK OF AMERICA, IF I TELL THE BANK TO BLOCK THE TRANSACTION, THEY SHOULD BLOCK FOR IT IS A JUDGE WHO DETERMINES WHO HAS THE TRUTH, NOT A BANK, THE BANK IS NOT RESPECTING THE PROCESSES OF A GOOD RELATIONSHIP BY BEING PARTIALIZED TOWARDS ONE SIDE AND WITHOUT REQUESTING DETAILS, THEY ALREADY RECHARGED ME THE MONEY, IN THE FUTURE MY REPUTATION IN THE SCORE CREDIT WILL DOWN AS WELL AS OTHER CONSEQUENCES, FOR BELIEVING IN THE EVIDENCE OF THE OTHER COMPANY.
