On XXXX XXXX I made a payment to Bank of America from my credit union checking account 's onlne service ; the payment was a mistake and should have gone to a different institution. The BOA account I made the payment to was a closed account with a XXXX balance. I recently received my statement from the account I meant to pay ( different bank ) showing they did n't receive my payment, which is how I realized I made the error in my payment. At that time I called my bank to retrive the funds.My bank followed procedure to correct the situation but was told by BOA they could n't do it due to security reasons and would need me conferenced on the call. On the same day I also called Bank of America to see if I could correct the mistake from my end which resulted in over an hour phone call, multiple transfers ending in being told 'for security reasons I would need to submit a written request, preferably on personalized stationany ( I do still have a loan with BOA so it 's not like they do n't have my personal info to compare ). As of today XXXX XXXX, Bank of America has been contacted my myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX to try to retreive the funds of {$3000.00}. to no avail. Both attempts lead to over an hour on the phone with a mimium of XXXX departments who gave us basically the run around and finally ended by transfers that never went through. My bank will be contacting them again on XXXX XXXX to try to continue to retrieve my money but I am filing my complaint now as my past experiences with Bank of America has proved to me that they will not remedy situations unless promted by the federal government. Also, as both my bank and myself have already spent waisted hours resulting in different answers from BOA I have doubts that we will be able to resolve the problem on our own. For the record, XXXX different people had originally told me they did locate the payment received on XXXX XXXX, 2015 but that they did n't have the authority to complete the refund. Today when conferenced with XXXX XXXX XXXX Bill Pay department, the different dept of BOA could n't find the receipt of the funds. That call ended in the fifth transfer which terminated during transfer so no resolve. 
I would appreciate any help you can give with this matter.
