Bank of America Faces Lawsuit Over Missing Deposit
A Bank of America client is exploring legal options following an alleged loss of a long-held certificate of deposit (CD) that has appreciated significantly in nearly 30 years.
Realtor Enid Bavard claims she invested $10,000 in a CD in 1997 for her son’s education, acquired from Barnett Bank, later merged into Bank of America.
Enid estimated the current value at around $39,000 due to accrued interest over 27 years.
Upon attempting to cash out, BofA couldn’t locate her CD record, leaving Enid dismayed. Despite inquiries, no trace was found with Florida Unclaimed Funds Account.
BofA stated they retain records for seven years, closing Enid’s account over seven years ago.
