I have a BOA Checking Account from 4 years ago that is being reported for ACCOUNT ABUSE with ChexSystems. The account was PAID IN FULL in 2010 and is scheduled to come off next year. I spoke with the BOA Card Services Department at 1-877-253-3511 and they refused to remove it. Does anybody here have any contacts to help me get this removed? I could have sworn I read on here about a $25 fee I could pay to get this off. When I brought this up to BOA and even to the supervisor, they said they never heard of that.
There was sort of a 'scam' going around a while ago. Once you're in CHEX, it's difficult to get a removal unless it's fraud.
BOA should have provided you with a letter stating that the account has been paid and is now at a zero balance. This letter can be instrumental in your opening a new checking account.
CHEX is five years and you may have to wait that out. I'm doing a bit of research for you to see what else is available to you.

Fish thanks man. I've read several of the old threads and I haven't found much luck besides some goodwill and a $25 dollar fee that some paid to get it removed. But nothing specific to BOA.
bump.
