I used to have a joint account with a friend back in early 2004, which eventuallywas closed by the other party without my knowledge. 
When it was closed, the account was overdrawn by about {$250.00}. Since I wasalso on the account, Bank of America took the overdrawn balance from thejoint account from my account. I had no problem with them taking the {$250.00}, asmy name was on the account. 
The issue is when I want to open an account at a different bank, I was denieddue to XXXX XXXX showing I have a bad record. 
I confronted Bank of America a few year back, and they claimed that theywould take care of it. 
I had not thought about it again since I have not tried to open an account. 
However, recently I wanted to be added into an account, but again was denieddue to XXXX XXXX.
