Thumbs up for Trevor Brooks, Senior BOA banker at the Cabot St., Beverly office. Trevor provided…read morethat much needed customer support and hand holding while I was stressed from the BOA Legal department which in my opinion improperly and perhaps illegally (unauthorized) froze one of my (17 yr old) checking accounts mid-July which was used to auto pay. The aforementioned account was an ordinary checking account, not a conservatorship account. I take copious notes, constructed a detailed documented timeline of this four week issue and was prepared to escalate the problem resolution as far as necessary. Although legal provided nothing in writing, my understanding is they wanted me to ask the court to change one word of the court Co-Conservator document from "And"to "or". Had not realized the account was frozen until notified of check which bounced and rejected auto pay both resulted in $$ penalties, one waived but the other cost me $100 (not happy). Only after Trevor escalated situation to his management, and I threatened to complain and escalate to both BOA management as well as four other avenues of escalation did the problem get resolved last Friday. Trevor called me late Friday and was even willing to keep the office open later if necessary in order that the account got closed and funds transferred. If not for Trevor, I would have transferred my four accounts (1 Trust, 1 Conservatorship, 2 ordinary checking) plus multiple CDs to Chase. As far as I'm concerned BOA owes me $100 and BOA Legal owes me an apology for all the unnecessary stress. Thank you again, Trevor.

No matter how I attempted to explain to her and basic math would have shown that I had not spent the money. I left frustrated and feeling belittled, called customer service and they were able to quickly see the money eas in fact just on hold, not spent and gave me a date of availability. The CS agent called her while I was on hold explained the situation to her and still claimed I had spent the money.

Several months ago much of my jewelry was stolen. One recent weekend, my husband took me shopping to replace a couple of pairs of earrings, and he surprised me with a necklace and matching earrings and a couple of other lovely pieces as well. The next Monday, a bank manager called, asking for my husband. She said that regretfully, she couldn't speak to me about why she was calling but she needed to speak to my husband as soon as possible. I was mildly annoyed as all of our accounts are joint accounts but I called him at work and asked him to let me know what was going on after he spoke with her. He called me back a few minutes later, chuckling. Someone at the bank had noticed that his bank card had been used to buy several pieces of jewelry at different stores and they just wanted to make sure that he had made the purchases. She didn't want to tell me what she was calling about in case he had purchased them as gifts for a birthday or anniversary - she didn't want to ruin a surprise. This is a bank with a heart that cares about its customers' accounts and about its customers. This is not the first time that they have called to verify expenditures when debits from our accounts have deviated far away from our usual spending pattern. Fortunately, there has never been an issue, but it is reassuring to me that if there ever was one, they would spot it immediately.
