Bank of America Credit card department,
Credit card protection / Debt protection Washington
I have been battling with Bank of America/Credit Protection Plus for years and have had enough. I have been passed from person to person without any hint of a resolution and the ordeal has ruined my credit and been an incredible burden on me. While I was in college I racked up my credit card bill close to it 's upper limit of $8000.00. Not wanting to carry a balance or gain interest, I paid off the balance of my credit card ( all at once ) with the exception of the $ 1000+ I had been charged in Credit Protection Plus against my permission ( and had asked repeatedly to be removed from ). I tried, and tried and tried to get them to take these charges off, and get them to stop charging me for CPP - both before and after I paid off my card. Even after I paid off my card and talked to many people about my issue, they did not remove me from the CPP program and my bill crept back up as a result of recurring CPP charges and interest/late fees on the initial CPP charges I left open. I asked them to
could n't just backtrack those charges. As a college student, it took me awhile to initially catch on to the fact that I was being charged for this service as I had never requested it to begin with. I should have been more aware and on top of it but I was a college student who racked up her bill to nearly $8000.00 so I was n't going through my bill with a fine tooth comb. Frustrated from hours of unhelpful phone calls and unwilling to pay for something I did n't sign up for, I pushed it aside. Recently the other members of my family all received large refunds in the CPP class action lawsuit but I was not included in this suit because I refused to pay from the beginning. I did not realized how bad this actually affected me until I applied for a credit card and was rejected. I got a credit report and found that my account had been 'Key Delinquency ' for years because of this dispute. It ruined my credit and made it impossible for me to get a credit card, buy a car or a house. I wish this had n't snowballed into what it is now but I spent so much time dealing with so little impact that I essentially gave up on it. I have now read up on it, found this website, am aware of my rights and realize I do n't have to fight this alone with a large corporation. I want to these charges to be removed and my credit to be restored so that I can live my life.
