Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am currently enrolled with Marylands Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation that was recently partnered with Bank of America, where MarylandUE would send my weekly paychecks of {$540.00} to a Bank of America checking account. 
( BOA website : XXXX : XXXX Maryland Department of Labor Unemployment Portal : https : //beacon.labor.maryland.gov ) On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to access my Checking account and was notified it was closed and that I need to have Maryland 's liaison with Bank of America ( BOA ) send BOA " information proving my qualification for payments ''. They said after I call Maryland, it will take 2 business days to correct. 


On XX/XX/XXXX, when they opened, I called Maryland Unemployment who assured me i was verified qualified and did not understand what BOA wanted as there was no indication for Maryland that any information was incorrect. Maryland said they put a note on my account and that it was up to BOA to fix. I spoke with 3 different operators this day and was told the same thing. 


On XXXX, and XXXX I called each day multiple times ( I stopped counting at 10 ) but was told every time that neither institution could do anything and to call the other. Starting XX/XX/XXXX, Maryland severed their ties with BOA so on XXXX the Maryland operators explained they no longer work with BOA and could do nothing themselves as they no longer have a BOA liaison. Most were completely unaware what BOA was referring to. 


I called BOA again on XXXX to see if I could retrieve my past funds any other way or prove my identity any other way and was refused, stating that their system wont allow any manual changes and it the system will automatically correct in 2 days after " Maryland verifies it ''. 


As of XXXX, Bank of America is still withholding the {$1600.00} from my 3 past paychecks and will not accept any method for me to prove the money was intentionally sent to me. My state sponsor has obviously approved my account if they are still sending payments to it. BOA even accepted the payment from Maryland on XX/XX/XXXX to my BOA checking account they closed on XX/XX/XXXX. 


TLDR ; BOA closed my checking account that had {$1000.00} in it, on XX/XX/XXXX claiming i needed to verify MarylandUE is paying the correct person ( me ), will not accept any means of verifying myself, but still collected the last payment Maryland Unemployment sent to them on XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$1600.00} that they are withholding from me.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a subaccount on my amex serve prepaid card account. I tried to use my card to make a purchase and it declined which it should not have because I have money on the card. I return home to contact the customer service only to be told they could not tell me what was wrong with my card to my subaccount but that it had been permanently locked and that I can not use it anymore. My money is trapped on this account and I had asked them to transfer the money to my main account and they refused to do so telling me that I would have to send a letter to them to tell them why I should get my own money from the account when it belongs to me. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor gets on the phone almost 30 minutes later. The supervisor then tells me some off the wall statement that during a recent review of my American Express Serve Account they noticed activity that was in violation of the Serve Member Agreement, section : Section 15E and because of that violation, my account has been closed. When I tried to look up the section 15e I couldnt get access to read it. I was then told there was nothing that they could do about what happened to my account and that I was pretty much out of luck. I informed them that I am a protected person covered by law and that they are now committing disabled financial abuse by keeping me from having access from my money and refusing to transfer my money to my other account so that I can have access to it. Their response was that the law does apply to them and that they can do what ever they want. they then hung up on me telling good luck getting my money back.
