Community Discussions on FIA CSNA

Bruce in Virginia (Guest) says, "MBNA used to service Wachovia's credit card accounts. I think FIA came into the picture when Bank of America bought out MBNA. At that point it Wachovia decided to take the credit cards back and not to give them to Bank of America a prime competitor. I believe FIA basically is trying to hold onto the old Wachovia accounts by setting us dual accounts or retaining the old accounts when Wachovia sent out replacement credit card accounts. Now it seems we have 2 accounts only the FIA one is really mysterious and I don't trust them. I have an address to write to: FIA Card Services, N.A. P.O. Box 15718, Wilmington DE 19850. (They don't give a phone number on this letter.)"
Bruce in Virginia (Guest) says, "I found a phone number for FIA (24/7) 800-655-1491. Just keep pressing zero for a real person or press for a "lost of stolen card" and you will get a live person. It turns out that the letter they sent me had an erroneous credit card number on it. (That kind of bothers me.)"
pc (Guest) says, "i work for bank of america... fia card services is the made up name for the body of the company that was formerly mbna. we do still process the accounts for other banks such as wachovia but obviously they are in direct competition with bofa so we use the surname FIA Card Services for these accounts"
Tim in Virginia (Guest) says, "I was curious about this FIA CSNA, because, I too, got a letter from them a while back, about changes in my terms & agreement. Unfortunately, the last 4 digits of the account they reference, do not match any thing I know I have...I did a credit report from TU today, it lists them as being in Newark DE, with a phone number of 800-421-2110. The original documents I got from them, I don't recall seeing a phone number."
fraudsniffer (Guest) says, "If you do a search on any pair of the names (FIA = 'FIA Card Services') you will find a series of links to agreements ..... (click on the link to see this long post)"
foo (Guest) says, Called the FIA (24/7) 800-655-1491 number".
puzzlednomore (Guest) says, "After puzzling over an account for FIA CSNA (which appeared to have been an account for 10+ years - I've never heard of the place), I made a phone call & found out they took over former SunTrust accounts. Smile Hope this helps someone else... "
