Consumer complaint received 2023-12-20 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I went to Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX to deposit my pay around XXXX. I had asked my employer to pay me cash because I needed to pay some bills and didnt want to wait for my check to clear. I attempted to make the cash deposit at the ATM and after I inserted my money in the machine, the machine started malfunctioning and went to the home page. It didnt not give me credit for my whole pay. I immediately called Bank of America to figure out what to do. The representative said to not worry, that my cash was safe in the atm and that a claim would be made so that I could get a credit for that money in two days due to the circumstances. She asked to give her the ATM number that was displayed on the ATM, I had to look everywhere and it was not present so I had to look at the other atms so she could disqualify those and see where I was. I waited two days and nothing showed on my account. I called the bank again and they said it was going to take 10 business days for the credit to show, that I wouldnt get the credit until XX/XX/2024. I re-explained I had to pay bills and there was no way I could go through the holidays without any money at all. They said they would try to expedite it and I would most likely receive the credit in 2 days ( keep in mind they had said they would do this when I first filed the complaint and didnt ). I waited the two days and called to see if there were any updates because even though I had requested written updates, none were given ). The representative said the expedited request was denied. I asked for what reason and to be connected to the team that makes that decision. She said, they do not even talk to them and had no way of communicating with them. My account is now negative so I asked if I would get charged overdraft fees when they are the reason why my account is over draft and they are keeping my money interest free. She said I would, and had to keep calling back to ask to please waive the fees but even then it wasnt guaranteed. 
This issue occurred through no fault of my own and yet Im being punished for Bank of America not maintaining their equipment. Now I have to go through the holidays with no money, have no money for bills, no money for rest, have to keep wasting my time calling them to please waive the overdraft fees and give me my money.

Complaint narrative:
Credit Report and subsequent credit report investigations contend that I was more than 30 days late on my Goldman Sachs Apple Card account twice ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) when payments were made under an agreed to payment relief plan offered by the lender. Calls to both Apple Card and the credit reporting bureaus yielded no results. They blamed the other party and instructed me to contact the other party, stating there was nothing they could do. I have never missed a payment, ever, including on any of my other accounts. I made payments as agreed to by the lenders payment assistance plan offer. Please remove these late payments from my report as they have prevented me from obtaining financial products over two times now.
