Bank of America Complaint: Deposits and withdrawals

Bank account or service Checking account

Complaint #1793205 submitted on 02/18/2016 relating to Bank of America. Complaint relates to Bank account or service Checking account - Deposits and withdrawals .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 18th February 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

We signed online to Bank of America billpay to have them send a check to our kids college apartment for XX/XX/XXXX payment. Bank of America cut the check, withdrew the funds from our account, and used a 3rd party consolidator to deliver the check. The 3rd party consolidator put multiple banks checks into XXXX envelope to deliver to the college apartment. That envelope was taken fraudulantly and our check was signed and cashed fraudulantly. The Apartment did not receive XX/XX/XXXX payment and Bank of America will not return the funds to our account. Instead they are asking the Apartment complex to fill out a form for a federal investigation, meanwhile the Apartment has no rent check from us and we have no money in our account to repay. I understand it is a state law in NC for the bank to resolve by returning our funds while they investigate what happened, however Bank of America refuses to do this. The other XXXX banks who had checks stolen in the same envelope already returned funds to their bank account holders, but Bank of America will not. The apartment is in XXXX NC and our bank account with Bank of America is in NC. Please advise.
