Bank of America Credit card department,
For the past 2-3 years I have tried to resolve this issue. I have a BoA checking account and credit card. I want to automatically make payments to my credit card from my checking account. You ca n't do it as a transfer - which is a set amount only. So if the minimum amount changes to say $57.00 and your automatic transfer is $56.00, they charge you a $30.00 ( or more ) late fee. If you try to " cancel '' your automatic transfers ( they call that the " plan '' ) they still show as pending for the next month - so say -/-/- is scheduled. You cancel that one and -/-/- pops up. Then you cancel -/-/- and guess what? The only way to cancel those again is to call and spend an hour on the phone. Basically the " cancel the plan '' feature for transfers does not work.
it 's even setup - it 's a blank charge that appears in your checking account as " FIA Card ''. Frankly after 2-3 years I forgot who FIA was. I certainly did n't think it was associated with BoA. You can call and change it, but that too took an hour. The third option is to setup a payee of Bank of America Credit card for " Bill Pay '' - the first step in that process is to receive " electronic billing '' from BoA VISA. That takes - days. I do n't want to get an electronic bill, I prefer paper. They assured me I would get both, but I sure do n't believe that will happen. Regardless - after this electronic payee is recognized in 1-2 days I can then setup a recurring monthly payment to my BoA VISA. They told me that would take 1-2 MONTHS. Again, lots of potential for those lovely late fees in this process as my bill is do in 2 days. Now I could live with all of this and say oh well, but I have reported all of these issues 2-3 times over the past 2 years and nothing was ever done, except sometimes they would refund my duplicate payments ( only going back 3 months of course because they only go back 3 months ). It just seems like a deliberate scam to get late fees, either that or absolutely horrible computer designs in which case they should n't be allowed to practice banking.
