My eight years account with Bank of America was subjected to a monthly maintenance fees of {$12.00} per month since last year XXXX XXXX without any prior NOTICE/INFORMATION or explanation from the bank. When I called the bank for explanation and refund i was told by XXXX of the bank official that I have to maintain a direct deposit of at least {$250.00} or a minimum balance of certain amount. I informed the bank that even during this period of review XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX there were instances of irregularity, that is situations where I had a single direct deposit of over {$250.00} into the account and my account was still subjected to this illegal {$12.00} service fees. 
The bank will not refund my money when I asked for a refund despite the fact that I was not informed of any changes or the existence of such fees since my banking with the bank for the past 8years.
