Bank of America. Enjoy that 70 bucks, shitheads, because it's the last you'll get out of me. Come Tuesday I'm moving my money to The People's Federal Credit Union.
Two years ago, upon returning from a week-long vacation on a Sunday night, I found a letter in the mail from Bank of America saying I had a
$17,000 TAX LIEN AGAINST ME - which was not the case at all - and that they were withdrawing it all from my bank accounts. The amount in the accounts would cover a fraction of that. So basically, they had taken all of my money.
Being Sunday night, there was NO ONE I could reach. Nothing I could do. I sat there in bed, not sleeping at all, picturing my children looking like Tiny Tim asking passersby for farthings while coughing from consumption.
Next day, I go in as calmly as possible to ask what was going on. I provided my SSN and the person looked it up and said "Is your middle initial P?" "No," I replied. It was apparently another person with my name. Had they bothered to check the SSN before sending me that note and cleaning me out? NO! I asked if someone was going to send me an apology and was told the bank does not do that. At least the money was put back into my account that day.
Horrible bank. Horrible.
Come to think of it, that should be their slogan.
