Dad passed away, no will. Bank informs me that his account was co-owned. No Idea who the other owner is. My dad passed away two months ago. Got the death certificate in hand and went to the bank to close his account. Turns out it’s a join account.

Not even sure if the co-owner is aware of his death (he had sev…

I canceled the card. I didn’t file a complaint, b…

Was Bank of America breached recently? My debit card number got stolen somehow. I’ve already reported the fraud and had the card cancelled.
