How to Fight Bank of America Checking Account Fees by Yourself

Forbes says Americans paid more than $34 billion in overdraft fees in 2017. That's a ton of cheddar! You can fight them, but it's not easy. Most people give up after one or two phone calls or emails.

Gather Your Documents

Start by gathering all your paperwork. Think about:

• Deposit slips
• Canceled checks
• Bank statements from Bank of America
• Any relevant receipts

Contact Bank of America Customer Service

Call Bank of America customer service at (800) 432-1000. Remember to stay calm and rational, and explain the facts to the representative.

Calmly explain to them:

• The amount of the unfair fee
• The date the fee was put on your account
• Why you believe this fee was unfair
• And what you expect to be done about it

At first, they're not going to do much. They may put you on hold for an hour or "upgrade" your call to a more advanced customer service rep. You'll get lost in a phone system. The call will get dropped. You might need to make the same call and explain yourself ten times!

They Want You to Give Up

Know that Bank of America expects you to give up or give in. If you're not a professional paralegal or trained attorney, they won't take you very seriously. They'll probably provide you with a complaint number but say they cannot help you. Ask to speak to a supervisor! Remember, you need to stay calm and professional when talking to customer service agents, or they'll hang up.

Prove to them that the fee is unfair and ask for a refund! For example, perhaps they debited an amount on the same day your paycheck was deposited but took an extra few days to clear the paycheck. Or maybe you have an automatic debit scheduled to move funds from your checking account to a savings account, but B of A overdrafts your checking account, moves money into checking from savings, and took a fee for doing so. Bank of America is notorious for this!

Bank of America Has a Terrible Reputation for Customer Service

We alluded to this earlier in the piece. Bank of America is known for diabolical behavior, high overdraft fees and poor customer relationships. Check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see what we mean.

At the time of writing, the BBB reports more than 6,500 consumer reports closed in the past three years! Complaints include fraudulent fees and behavior with checking accounts, unexplainable charges on debit and credit cards and tons of spam mail. That's something else DoNotPay can help you fix, by the way.
