I have a Regular checking account with Bank of America since the late XXXX 's. I 'm not an XXXX XXXX so I used to use it when I travel to the XXXX. Since XX/XX/XXXX I stopped using the account and left a balance. The bank inactivated my account so I could n't withdraw money any more, nor received further bank statements or access online to review my statement. 
I tried to activate it in XX/XX/XXXX, and now they have activated it, they sent me a statement and charged {$14.00} dollars as a monthly maintenance fee and noticed they have done so for the last 12 months now that the account is active. 
So I called them and asked them why they have charged me for twelve months of maintenance fee over an account they inactivated and they said that they can not return those charges because the account was opened. It sounds unfair to me that they inactivated an account, stopped sending me statements, blocked my internet access and now that I reached them to see what happened to my account they take advantage there is a balance in the account and charge directly 12 months of fees of a service they did n't provide. There was no straight answer to that but any way they argued they can charge it because the Regular checking contract says so. If so, why then they blocked my account? What about their part of the contract about having the account open for me all these years?
