Tara: Thank you for being valued Bank of America customer. My name is Tara.
Tara: How may I assist you with your personal Checking and Savings accounts opened in California?
Tara: Hi , Good Morning. How are you doing today?
You: Good. I'm trying to get through to the call center and the message says it's closed.
Tara: I would like to inform you that on behalf of Veteran's Day.
Tara: Our phone associates are not working.
Tara: Hence, you are unable to connect to the phone associates.
You: Veteran's Day was yesterday. Are they off for two days?
Tara: Yes, you are right.
Tara: However, I will try my best to help you if the query is within my scope.
Tara: Please go ahead with your query.
You: I had an alert set on my account to let me know a specific low balance threshold. I am now overdrawn
by 70 dollars and there are 7 transactions which I will be charged 35/each for. I checked and the alert was set to off!
You: I have not modified that alert for years
Tara: I understand you have a concern regarding the alerts.
Tara: As the alerts were disabled your account is going to charge with the overdraft fee.
Tara: Please correct me, if I am wrong.
You: i have a concern regarding the fees that i will be charged due to the fact that the alert was reset to 'off'
You: 7 x 35 = 245
Tara: I certainly check for you.
Tara: Could you please provide me the last four digits of the account number in question and the complete
name as how it appears on the account.
Tara: Are you still with me? Just to confirm that we are not disconnected.
You: yes
You: 7465
Tara: Thank you.
You: kelly alston
Tara: Thank you for the information, Kelly.
Tara: Please allow me some time while I access your account information.
You: ok, i have a child so there may be some lag between responses
Tara: Kelly, I see that there was an alert set on your account, if your account balance is less than the $200
then an alert will be sent to kellymarcalston@gmail.com on every Monday.
Tara: Am I right, Kelly?
You: yes, but i just set that today after i noticed that it was turned off
You: i was not alerted that my balance was low, and today i discovered that i was overdrawn
Tara: Thank you for the information.
You: sure
Tara: Kelly, I would like to inform you that as your account is not yet debited with the fees.
Tara: I request you to contact us immediately once the fee debited to your account so that we will definitely
look in to the issue and help you.
