Bank of America is not taking adequate steps to protect the security of my account and is improperly assessing overdraft fees. On XXXX XXXX, a charge of {$7.00} was made to my checking account, a charge that I did not authorize. The statement said that the charge was made to a " XXXX XXXX '', a person I do not know and do not recognize a business relationship with. 
I went to the nearest Bank of America branch in order to dispute this charge. The person I spoke to at Bank of America called another department at Bank of America about the charge. The person on the other end of the line claimed that it was a charge from XXXX XXXX. I was told that I would not be allowed to dispute the charge because " XXXX would n't lie '' and that I would need to call them regarding the charge. I was also told that Bank of America would not reverse the overdraft fee regardless of whether or not they believed the charge was false. 
I do have service through XXXX, but when I called them afterwards they confirmed that any charges to my XXXX account would not be charged directly to my checking account, and that the XXXX charge was not their doing. 
Even if this charge was legitimate, I do not believe Bank of America should have authorized it. I have opened a bank account elsewhere, as my relationship with Bank of America has deteriorated beyond all repair due to another issue I am having with them. I am keeping my account open with Bank of America for the sole purpose of receiving my direct deposit checks, and as soon as the change is processed will be closing my account at Bank of America. I am keeping a low balance in my account and not even using my debit card. There was no other activity on my account on XXXX XXXX, and I had about {$2.00} in the account at the beginning of the day. Even is this were a legitimate charge, it should not have been paid to begin with, as there was not enough money in the account to cover it.
