Upon reviewing my Bank of America checking account I noticed that I was overdraw in the amount of {$280.00}. I called customer service to inquire as to why my account was overdrawn and they stated because I had XXXX items that were presented for payment and they paid them for me as a courtesy because they are recurring payments to my account. I have called about this in the past because it caused my account to be overdrawn that time also. The challenge I am facing with Bank of America is that I did not sign-up nor do I have an account linked to my checking account for overdraft protection. I have made request that no courtesy payments be made and if the funds are not available that the items be returned. I further explained that I declined setting up overdraft protection because it is not something that works for me. Upon further speaking with the customer service representative I was informed that even though I did not request that the items be paid but that Bank of America made the decision to pay the items, I was still responsible for any fees assessed to the account for payments. Additionally, as of today, XXXX/XXXX/15, Bank of America assessed my account a fee of {$35.00} because my account has been overdrawn an extensive amount of time, even though I did not request the items be paid, it was a judgement call by them. They are maliciously charging fees and initiating activity on my account that is not authorized by me. My thought this is another way for Bank of America to make money off of their customer.
