Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying since XXXX to get Chase to write me a letter saying I did NOT have insufficient funds contrary to their notification. They have refused. I had asked XXXX XXXX the afternoon of XXXX XXXX to sell XXXX  bonds from my brokerage account and buy US Treasuries with the proceeds. I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX saying I had {$140000.00} in sufficient funds in my checking account, that the payment was rejected and that Chase could charge me an insufficient fund fee, notify credit agencies and close my account. 
I called to say there was no way that I could have had insufficient funds because the proceeds of a bond sale were to be used fund the Treasury buy. I asked for a letter saying that the notice was in error and their response basically was that they are not charging me a fee. They refused to send a letter correcting this notification. Along the way some agreed to send the letter, but then rescinded their promise. Saying they are not at this moment charging me a fee, notifying credit agencies etc. is not the same as saying I was not responsible or guilty of " insufficient '' funds and Chase should not have accused me of insuffcient funds

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card issued by Comenity Bank is using fraudulent practices. I have been on the phone with them several times trying to resolve the overcharging problem but they refuse to fix it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I bought a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX. It cost {$490.00}. It was charged to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card managed by Comenity Back. I have direct payment from my checking account so there should have been no problem with the payment going through. For some reason, they are saying it did not go through and charged me an additional {$30.00} plus interest. They show on their website the money was returned, however, it was not. On my bank 's end which is XXXX it shows the charge went through. Comenity Bank then decided to charge me {$530.00} which not wanting my credit to go bad I paid on XX/XX/XXXX. Then they charged my account again on XX/XX/XXXX through automatic payment for {$500.00}. 

For a {$490.00} item, I have now paid {$490.00}. {$530.00} and {$500.00}. Over {$1000.00} over what was owed!! They finally reimbursed me with a check for {$500.00} at the end of XXXX but not the {$530.00}. Then, they recharged me for the {$500.00} saying they paid me twice which they did not!!! 

This back and it's fraudulent activity needs to be stopped!!! I do not want my credit going back over a fraudulent back. I have a credit rating of over XXXX and I pay my bills but I will NOT be scammed. Please help me get my money back!!

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am the account holder of the Bank of America account XXXX since XXXX. The contractual terms of my account state that foreign wire transfers made in dollars are subject to a flat fee of {$45.00}. 

In XXXX, where I live and work, I have a multicurrency account with XXXX, which is able to handle multiple currencies including dollars and euros. 

Personally, I use both currencies in this account and I have never had any problems receiving wire transfers in either euros or dollars from other banks. 

Recently, I entered the XXXX  account details into my Bank of America online account so that I could transfer dollars from my Bank of America account to my XXXX account. 

Unfortunately, despite numerous attempts and countless calls to customer care, I am unable to make a dollar wire transfer. 

Your phone Customer Care service has not given me any reasonable explanations for the situation or provided me with any useful assistance whatsoever. 

The warning I get at every attempt state : we are unable to process your request. If your beneficiary is able to receive a different currency you may try with that currency. 

I have successfully made a test transfer of XXXXXXXX XXXX changing the currency through your service. 

It is evident, then, that there is nothing wrong with my transfer settings or account usage. 

Despite being able to transfer euros easily, I am not interested in transferring money in this currency due to the exorbitant currency conversion costs. 

As I have already mentioned, my contractual terms require a flat fee of {$45.00} for a transfer made in dollars. Therefore, I find it absurd that bank of america is not allowing me to use this online service and is forcing me to incur expensive currency exchange costs. 

In my opinion, this problem ( the causes of which are not even clear to customer care ) is due to the policy of bank of america, which may receive greater economic benefits from currency exchange services than from applying a flat fee for dollar transfers.
