Narrative (may be redacted).

I was on the phone with Bank of America customer service for over an hour today trying to change the name they had for me on the computer to the name they should have had that was listed on the loan application they accepted. I did business with BofA 10+ years ago and funny thing is they had updated my email and phone number to my current one listed on the loan app but they did not fix my name or address. The loan dept told me they would transfer me to the online dept and they should fix it easily since all of my loan paperwork was correct. I got transferred and told the lady what my issue was and she asked my name to which I replied my current name and she said I 'm sorry that is not what is on the acct I said I know that is why I am calling and she said well I need you to verify the correct name so again I gave her my correct name and she said that was n't right and transferred me back to the loan dept. The loan dept then tried to get it changed themselves, it did n't work, she transferred me back to the online dept who this time told me I would have to go into my local branch to verify my identity. I told them there was no local branch and they transferred me somewhere else this time and after explaining my situation all over again the lady said we can do it through mail but I do n't have the papers I will have to transfer you back to the loan dept. Again I held but this time it was for 30 minutes and I just gave up because I am at work after all ....
