Complaint is against Bank of America, where I have checking account and bank debit/credit card. At times when I have MORE than sufficient balance $ $ to cover transaction charges, the Bank indiscriminately triggers a DECLINE to pay transactions. Example : XXXX a purchase at Target, slightly over {$400.00} XXXX there was around XXXX this held in the account ). The card was declined with NO warning, with NO explanation. Also, my daughter 's card was declined. My daughter needed to pay the bill with another business account, in a final ditch effort to end the capricious conflict. This resulted in extreme embarrassment, and measures that were aggravating and time-consuming to clean up the intervening mess ( while preparing a college graduation event with family coming from all over the country ). The bank should have NO indiscriminate right to deny payments to vendors when I have plenty of $ $ in the account to pay the bills. That is MY money, not the bank 's. 
ALSO, Bank of America declines transactions when I am in another state, even though I live in a XXXX area ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and travel between them almost every day! They insist I post a 'travel ' note on the account, which has a temporary time frame. This is nonsense! Are we living in a XXXX XXXX world? The practices of the Bank of America which abuse consumers and prevent them from using their OWN $ $ must be criminal in nature. The XXXX government surely can not condone such practices. Preparing to remove my money and close the account. What 's next? Stuff it in a mattress? STOP these consumer abuses by criminal banks.
