I have about $80 large in BofA’s coffers, which will soon be making an appearance in any other bank in the fucking world or possibly my mattress.
Few months back, flush with the proceeds from my house sale, my bank accounts were magically converted into “VIP” accounts. By VIP, I’m pretty sure they mean “we hate you, you venal fuck, and now we own you, oh yeah and go fuck yourself.” That’s how VIP I feel.
Turns out the fallout of VIP-ness is no overdraft protection. Fuck me.
I wrote the rent check, bought groceries, pumped some gas all the while thinking I had a couple bucks enough in the bank to cover. Not to Bank of America’s fucked up calculus. My check bounced and each little extra transaction gained me a total of about $100 in insufficient funds fees. None of the three other accounts they opened for me to “maximize” my money can cover my checking account.
I couldn’t quite follow the argument on the other end of the customer service line, but my balance at the time right before I got special VIP bank accounts seemed to suggest to her that I would have bounced these checks anyway. To be all polite she’d reverse SOME of the fees, but some of them I still got, because my balance in July in the savings account that disappeared (the one with overdraft) was only $200 and wouldn’t have covered these checks.
Um what?
Slowly I’ve been moving my dough elsewhere. Soon that will be mightily speeded up. Maybe I should grab something sawed off and get it all right now.
Make sure you get into a bank and personally speak to a manager. AFTER, you’ve withdrawn your funds. Fucking banks. Kick a desk on the way out the door, too !

BOA like all of them sucks ass.
I’ve been around way too many VCs to know the drill:
Some rich white dudes buy out or take over a business.
Next they run this awesome advertising campaign to make you think that their aquisition is the greatest thing in the world for all.
All the while while your senses are taking all of this bullshit in, they are eliminating jobs, benefits, features, etc.. and raising fees, etc…
Seen it with the Cable assholes and everyone else.
Suck my balls corporate America.
Agreed. This is happening in Chicago now. Pretty much what the comment above me said is all true.
Bofa is evil. I hope they fall on their face.
BofA is under the rothschild banksters corporate umbrella. unless you are ok with financing wars and furthering there goal of a one world government, one world money and all the scary things that come with it… go old school and buy a safe and live by cash, silver, and gold
all true… BofA has f’d me up the a, to many times, a little research reveals the secret owner/controller of most financial institutions to be evelyn rothschild and the rothschild world bank. Oh and they also own the Federal Reserve! sounds to crazy to be true, and crazy that it is true!
