When Bank of America did not receive a payment from me on time, or even 30 days after the payment was due, they did not bother to call, text me or mail any correspondence to me. They were emailing statements to an old email address which I failed to update them with however they had my phone number and my mailing address. I was only made aware of the late payment as Bank of America mailed me a letter after the payment was already 60 days late. This letter advised that my payment was 60 days late and as a result my credit would be adversely affected and that they 've lowered my account balance from {$4500.00} to {$500.00}. 

Upon receipt of this letter I called Bank of America to first off pay my account balance of {$6.00} which was initially due on XXXX/XXXX/14. After I paid the balance I spoke with someone to dispute the lowering of my limit and asked if they could retract or note their reporting to the credit reporting agencies differently so it would n't affect me negatively. Their argument to not calling or mailing anything to me was that I selected paperless statements. I brought up the fact that that any debtee will try all methods possible to reach the debtor and collect that payment. They were of no help, the rep. was very rude and they still have not mailed anything, as they promised, with their answer to my disputeAs a customer of Bank of America, I would think that they 'd want me to receive the best service, that they 'd want me to keep a good standing account with them and that they 'd look out for my best interests. In this case I feel like Bank of America failed me and then they penalized me. All of this was totally avoidable had I updated my email address or remembered that I had charged {$5.00} on my card however in the event I failed on my part, Bank of America should 've called me, texted me or mailed a letter to me as soon as they did n't receive a payment when it was due. Instead they mail me a letter after my payment is already 60 days late. If they were capable of mailing this letter, why could n't they have sent me XXXX 60 days before letting me know the payment was late? There should be a rule to protect the consumers and state that the debtee must try all methods available to them to reach the debtor as soon as the payment is late.
