Should you encounter any difficulty, please call the number on the back of the card (i.e. the customer service number for Bank of America). If Bank of America is unable to resolve the problem without UD intervention, contact the University at 302-831-2161 or 302-831-2159 during working hours; during off hours, contact campus security at 302-831-2222 and explain that you are having difficulty with the Declining Balance Card. They will have a call list for Procurement and will be able to reach someone who can help you. In the event that email is a more convenient communication method for you, contact procurement@udel.edu for assistance.
