Bank of America Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Bank of America Bank account or service department,

Checking account Making/receiving payments, sending money Colorado

Hello, I am reporting an issue I had with Bank of America due to their negligent check clearing practices and their arrogant and unresponsive behavior. My predicament dates from -, so, I am not sure if there is something that can be done about it now. In - -, I was a victim of check fraud with my account at Bank of America. A fake company offered me a part time job to act as their donations distributor and asked me to disperse funds after the check that they would send over has cleared. Being naive and a student at that time, I fell in their trap and deposited their check upon receipt at my Bank of America Account. Being a little skeptical, I specifically asked BOA to let me know when the check clears so that I can assure myself and all they said was that the funds will be available after 3 days.


However, bank of America came back to me after 45 days and informed me that the check I deposited has bounced. I tried to plead with them and explain them the situation and they did nothing to help me. Their collections department acted arrogant and did n't care to call me back or talk to me despite numerous attempts to reach out to them. They then reported my account to a third party collections agency and had me reported on - because of which, I could n't open a new bank account for -- years. They made me go through unnecessary pain and their collections department didnt even respond to my calls or was willing to work with me. As a result of their check clearing practices and unresponsive behavior, I ended up losing - dollars since they forced me to pay this amount back to them from my own personal pocket. Even though its quite late, I would appreciate if something could be done about this so that other innocent folks do n't go through the same pain that I went through. Thanks -
