I am sure BOA has done this a thousand times. I had been a customer for over 20 years. Had a credit card and it was behind two months when the bank took an internal withdrawal from my account. When I saw the huge withdrawal I contacted the bank thinking someone had stolen or cloned my debit card. The bank let me believe that the card was cloned and the money would be returned. HOwever all along it was clear to the person I spoke with in consumer services that the bank had internally taken the money. Long story short-- I lost everything I had no money for food, shelter or life. I hate BOA now and recommend anyone stay clear.

Right of offset

AUTHOR: Flynrider - Phoenix (USA)

  Normally, the pat answer to this dillema would be that you're out of luck.  Banks have what is called a "right of offset", which allows them to deduct any delinquent payments you owe them from a deposit account.

   You're case is a bit different in that they are taking money owed for a credit card or revolving line of credit.   According to the Comptroller of the Currency, National banks can not exercise their right of offset when the debt is a consumer credit account.    As long as this is not a business credit card, it would seem that the bank has overstepped its bounds.

  You should check out the Comptroller of the Currency's website here :

http://www.helpwithmybank.gov/faqs/banking_offset.html

  And you should follow up with both the C of C and your bank.  It seems they may be breaking the law by taking funds from your deposit account to satisfy a credit card debt.

  Since banks can deduct money from accounts to satisfy other debts, it would be wise in the future not to have a deposit account at a bank where you have delinquent accounts.

Anne, You can write a letter to Bank of America's CEO and post it here at Ripoff Report. Someone wrote a letter to the employees at NBC's National headquarters at the "NBC" page of Ripoff Report.....

AUTHOR: Karl - Highlands Ranch (USA)

today.

Simply go over to the NBC page of this site and read it. It appears as 'Consumer Comment #9' at Ripoff Report #608350.

I believe there's another letter that was written and posted here at Ripoff Report at the BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY page. The letter was written to Mr. Warren Buffett, who is the top man at Berkshire Hathaway.

I think that the letter to Mr. Warren Buffett appears in the comments section at Ripoff Report #236124, which is at the BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY page of this site.

Good luck to you. 

Write a letter- you'll feel better.
