I called two days later to cancel the acct. I was told all was good. Months later I get a collection notice stating that I owe BOA money. Someone changed my mailing address and asked for the acct. to be reopened and get a debit card. They then got a payday loan direct deposited to it and took the money and left me with all kind of charges. I am 99% sure that there is a leak in the TELEPHONE BANKING CENTER at BANK OF AMERICA. They know whos using and not using acct numbers... I just dont know how to get in touch with someone at the corporate office or someone who cares. Mine was just a couple hundred but if there is a leak BOA should try and investigate!!!! ANY IDEA's I went online to BOA in Dec to open an acct. to find out that theres not a branch where I live.

I have been getting tons of solicitation/telemarketing calls and text messages on my cell phone over the last few months. I am suspicious it has to do with the Heartland Security Breach as well because I got a letter from Bank of America (with whom I have two credit cards) saying my account may have been compromised recently. They did not provide any details about what information was possibly compromised. I'm glad I am not alone in my suspicion. I am going to call Bank of America and file a complaint, maybe if more people find out there is a link here, they will do the same and something will get done about this.

I found out about this today when I went to make a payment and was unable to. After talking with 3 reps, I was finally directed to the Fraud Department. He explained that there was a breach and that I will be receiving a new credit card with a new account number within a few weeks. He said a letter explaining what happened was sent out yesterday to customers. He was unable to tell me if any of my information was stolen. ...and that's MY rant.
