Verified Reviewer |Fraudulent foreclosure — void judgment — federal law violations
- - Foreclosure in 2009 used a void judgment under LaSalle Bank.
- - Assignment signed by dissolved entities tied to DocX LLC; authority questioned.
In 2009, Bank of America foreclosed on my home using a void judgment entered in the name of LaSalle Bank, dead eleven months before the judgment. The assignment was signed by Aames Funding Corporation, dissolved 17 months before execution, confirmed by California and Florida government records.
The assignment was prepared by *** and ***, ***, connected to DocX LLC, whose founder, ***, was federally convicted and sentenced to 58 months for forging mortgage assignments nationwide. *** Loan Servicing admitted under oath they knowingly used dissolved *** for convenience, not legal authority. Bank of America and *** were discharged as unsecured creditors in federal bankruptcy court May 10, 2011, then signed a deed as secured trustee three months later, violating 11 USC Section 524. The FBI confirmed I reported this fraud May 9, 2009, four months before the void judgment.
I have filed 68 federal complaints.
No substantive response in 17 years. My son was 5 years old when his home was sold.
Preferred solution: Full financial restitution for void foreclosure of $200,935.88 plus 16 years of consequential damages

Verified ReviewerCredit card fraud department
- - Unauthorized charges: $149.99 twice and $800; charged before signed documents.
- - I want a full refund and investigation; staff threatened me.
I sought credit repair services due to negative items on my credit report and multiple unauthorized inquiries impacting my credit score. After researching online, I contacted your company, drawn by its proximity to my home in ***.
During my initial conversation with Mr. Sukh, he assured me that he would assist in resolving my credit issues, and I was required to provide my driver's license and credit card information to initiate the process. Throughout our discussions, I explicitly confirmed multiple times that my credit card would not be charged without my consent. Mr.
*** repeatedly reassured me that no charges would be made until I had signed the PDF documents sent to me via email. I also informed him that I would be traveling for several hours and would not be reachable, stating that I would provide my credit card information again upon my return. Despite this, while my phone was in flight mode, I discovered that my credit card had been charged twice for $149.99 and once for $800 without my authorization. Upon noticing these charges, I promptly emailed Mr.
Sukh to express my desire to terminate any services and to request a refund. I emphasized that I had not signed the PDF documents and felt uncomfortable with the service. Instead of addressing my concerns, Mr. Sukh responded with threats, further escalating my discomfort.
I made it clear in writing that I wished to sever all business ties with your company and demanded a full refund. However, rather than returning my funds, your company fraudulently signed my name and withdrew additional amounts from my bank account. This experience has not only caused financial loss but has also severely impacted my trust in credit repair services. I expect a prompt investigation into this matter and a full refund of the unauthorized charges made to my credit card.
I also urge you to review your internal processes to prevent such fraudulent activities from occurring in the future. I have an email proof that this credit repair company said they would return the money back to my account, but I am very surprised to say my Bank of America credit department is supporting this credit repair company, saying that you can keep the money, you don’t have to return it, and denying my claim.
Can you believe how stupid these people are? They are my credit card company, instead of protecting their own customer, they’re protecting a third party.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Clarksville Md Branch is the worse.
- - 20-minute wait at Clarksville Md; no change.
- - One clerk for four in line.
- - The reviewer notes branch closures and long-time customer status.
I understand what it is to be a new employee. However, I waited at the Clarksville, MD branch for 20 minutes.
Then at the counter, I was told she doesn't have change, quarters, nickels, dimes, etc. And only one clerk, four of us standing in line. Is it that you do not want our business anymore? I have been with you for 49 years.
You closed the Kings Contrivance branch as well as the Owen Brown branch.
This is an unacceptable way to run a banking business.

Locked Account
- - Cannot open account after authentication; access fails later.
- - Could not change ID or password.
- - Wants to close the Bank of America account.
I cannot open my account. It says I needed to authenticate my account.
I did that and the next time I went into my account it did not work. I wanted to change my ID and password, it was a no go.
Now, I just want to close my account and move on.
I have been with Bank of America for 73 years and have never encountered this much trouble. Cannot open my account.
User's recommendation: Request personal assistant and get a phone number so you can get help

- - The charges hit eight times ($59.90 for renunciation and $64.33 for OCI) instead of once, and no receipt/confirmation was provided for $64.33.

They were supposed to charge only one time and no receipt or payment confirmation was given for $64.33. It was done half an hour ago VFS Services Washington DC.

Verified Reviewer |Bank of america really screwed me over
- - Staff failed to set up a $200 autopay or update the phone number.
- - A $2,500 deduction left the checking account at zero.
Their employee was supposed to set up a two hundred dollar automatic payment and change my phone number on the account. Well, He did not do either one, instead he deducted like twenty five hundred from my checking account.
When I looked at my bank account and my checking said Zero I hit the roof and had to transfer funds from savings as I have to pay an attorney almost a grand today for the will he has prepared for me and I will pick it up today. I would NEVER RECOMMENT THEM FOR ANYTHING.
- Employee really screwed me over
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Never trust them for anything
Denied access to online account
- - POA granted, but the bank won’t provide online access to the account.
- - The sister is in hospice with memory issues; wallet is missing and phone off.
I recently became the POA (Power of Attorney) for my elderly, disabled sister. I took the documentation to BofA and was put on her account as POA and given checks with my name on them as POA.
However, my sister has been in hospice since March (it is now the end of May), is on oxygen, is only functioning on about 25% of her heart, and does not have the mental capacity to remember her online banking sign in information. She had a car accident and her pocketbook and wallet have been missing since that time. Her phone service has been turned off and none of her recovery information is accurate. BofA absolutely refuses to give me access to her online account, so I cannot see what money comes in or goes out of the account.
I also cannot provide the financial details to Medicaid to maintain her residence at the nursing facility. I may have to risk her life to take her to a branch office to accomplish this.
Multiple charges of same amount from Walmart
- - BOA validated the $138+ charge; Walmart submitted it 11x and the rep reversed.
- - Customer advised to reorder on the geo data site by 5/23; rep explained.
The multiple charges came about when I responded to a BOA request to verify a charge of $138+ which was suspicious. .
I verified that it was a valid charge. I went back to the Walmart site to add to my order, but Walmart would not process it. It was not until I checked my BOA account, that I saw Walmart submitted original charge 11 times because [PERSON_NAME] rejected the the charge. When I spoke to a BOA rep, I was informed of what Walmart was tryying to do and [PERSON_NAME] rejected the charge.
I also learned that [PERSON_NAME] reversed all the charges. I was also told I could go back to [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA] site and reorder the orinal items.
I will wait until 5/23 to do this.
The rep was very helpful in explaining what was going on which out my mind at ease.
- Are helpful in explaining issues found
- Clarification on what your response to their suspicious charges request
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don't try to add items after an initial purchas; make sure you respond to BOA email requests; check your bank account soon after you make purchases; make sure you read emails from merchants.
