Dude I have been researching alternative banks for a while now. I have both personal checking and business checking and a restricted savings account (brothers life insurance) for my nephews with BofA. I'm currently working on re-establishing a relationship with NFCU. I burned them back in a 2019 bankruptcy but has since made them whole and waiting on the security department to make a decision. I have a car loan with PennFed but their website interface is 90's lol so I'll passed on them.

From my admittedly biased perspective, there is one tiny silver lining to your situation, you are now rid of BofA from a credit perspective; if you have any deposit accounts with them then in your shoes I'd move them to NFCU and close the rest of your BofA accounts. One of the happiest days of my life was when I finally said good riddance to them back in 2020, and I haven't missed my relationship with them for even a second since.

BofA is at no loss, as a matter of fact, they owe me 43 cent lol. In all seriousness how can they do this? If anything closed by creditor, paid in full.
I'm on the phone with them now and of course I'm getting nowhere but long holds because the rep can't provide an answer. Called back and new rep said it will be reported as a charge off with zero balance.
Maybe it's too early for me but can someone help me wrap my mind around this because it's not making sense. What's the purpose of a secured line of credit? To protect the creditor from a loss correct? So how are they at a loss?Sorry for what happened. BoA is not the friendliest bank.
Thank you for the sentiments! It does suck but life is all about lessons and I learned some valuable tidbits today so all is not lost. It'll just take more time for me to reach my goal.

Yeesh, you're in at BofA about as deep as I was; like you it took some research to come up with a plan to divest myself of their services. In the end I literally walked my accounts across the street to a TDBank branch; they have been very accomodating both with regular banking as well as addtional services; services which I needed to pay for at BofA. I don't know if they're in your area, but if you want a regular bank in addition to Navy, I cannot recommend them enough.

I categorically refuse to do AZEO!
I am in deep with B of A personal was secured at $1k now its unsecured $62.5k....Business is secured at $1k have to wait 5 more months before I can request unsecure as they do a year on business. I am unsure how you got a CO on your own money? Thats crazy, I am on top of B of A because I want my money back lol
