**Claims:**
The plaintiff presented several key claims against Bank of America, including:

She argued that the bank's conduct was unreasonable and amounted to a breach of their duty of care to customers.
- **Defendant's Argument:** Bank of America responded by denying any wrongdoing and contended that all customer interactions were handled according to standard protocols. The bank argued that there was no breach of contract and that the plaintiff did not suffer any damages that would warrant compensation.
