Consumer Narrative
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G St. NW Washington , DC 20552 XX/XX/XXXX Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to report an invalid practice or potential fraud by Bank of America ( BOA ) related to the withholding of a {$200.00} reward bonus. In accordance with the attached offer letter ( Attachment 1 ), I was informed by BOA that I would be eligible to receive a {$200.00} cash reward upon making at least {$1000.00} in net purchase by XX/XX/XXXX. As per my records, I made a purchase of {$77.00} at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( Attachment 2 ), which contributed to my net purchase amount exceeding the specified threshold at {$1000.00}. This was based on the cumulative total of {$1000.00} before XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, ( $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX {$1000.00}. However, it has come to my attention that BOA has altered the transaction date for this purchase to XX/XX/XXXX, as indicated in a monthly bill from BOA ( Attachment 3 ). This change in transaction date has resulted in my failure to meet the spending requirement for the reward bonus. It is essential to note that the purchase with an expense of {$77.00} took place on XX/XX/XXXX, and the order was received from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. I have diligently communicated with BOA on multiple occasions, engaging with representatives at both BOA headquarters in Texas and the local BOA branch at XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX. I wanted to provide them with evidence of my purchase ( Attachment 2 ) and expressed my concerns. Unfortunately, my requests have been denied twice, and I have been informed that BOA intends to conduct its own investigation into the matter. However, the responses I have received have been unsatisfactory and have merely stated that I do not qualify for the {$200.00} cash rewards bonus ( Attachment 4 and 5 ). I am seeking the assistance of the CFPB to conduct a thorough investigation into BOAs invalid practice or potential fraud. It is my hope that your expertise and intervention can help rectify this matter and ensure that I receive the rightful {$200.00} cash bonus that I am entitled to. I am fully committed to cooperating with any inquiries or requests for additional information from your esteemed agency. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need any further details. Thanks so much for your attention to this matter, I am looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Attachments : 1-5
