When I think of customer no service, instantly B of A pops up. Some time ago B of A was my bank. For some time I had a good personal banker that got things done and followed through. They promoted him and everything went down hill from there.
Needless to say I pulled everything I had in BofA and went to another bank that was happy to work with me.

I have always enjoyed listening to what he has to sy, but enough is enough. First he helped Goldman Sachs and now BofA, both of which have large parts in our financial crisis. I will now have to re-think my feelings for him.

You are right not to admire Buffet. The sordid Franklin Credit Union scandal led directly to him. His "philanthropical" credit union was founded in his wife Susan's name.
But it was only a cover for the most heinous abuses of children and drugs to compromise the careers and control the votes of congress persons, senators, and even world leaders.

Theft via "overdraft" fees alone committed on countless of small accts throughout the country, assumed legal on some strange bases, makes the downfall of BofA an impossible dream. Yes, they need to be shut down.

I was over him when I heard he'd cut his granddaugher out of his life because she appeared in that documentary. There could be more to the story but it seemed pretty cold. I don't begrudge him his success but I have a feeling that his real personality is quite different from that kindly persona he likes to project to the media.

Heaven forbid you need to change anything in person. Hope you have half a day to waste in the lobby. I think every time my wife goes in there to deal with a problem, she ends up having to ask for whoever is supposed to be running the place.

Jon, have you tried clicking on through the message that comes up? I got the Home Page temporarily unavailable message, but there is a link to go to Online Banking. From there, I was able to click through to the log-on screen...

One thing they seem to be good at is quick foreclosures. :D
Or at least in my case. I picked up a property that had a tonne of equity in it. I wasn't on the note and it didn't take them long to stop accepting my payment.
Then they foreclosed on the property. I think it took them 21 days from the time they figured out what was going on until foreclosure on the court house steps. Thankfully I sold it a few days before the auction.

You mean with all the examples in this thread about BofA, you still have not switched and only will if they do not change their minds on the $5 debit card usage fee (which by the way, I am quite sure they will charge)?
I just don't understand how anyone would want to comtinue doing busienss with such a company. How many people do they have to screw before everyone realizes they should not be doing business with this crooked corporation? :idea:

For me, BoA provides a lot of what of what I'm looking for when it comes to business banking. Not to mention, they have several branches and a full service ATM all within a close distance.
Granted, most of us can do a lot of what we need to do from any computer/smart phone, but there I still find myself needing to go the bank at least once a week.
I do, however, also use TD Bank for my personal accounts and they are a great bank. If I switch to another bank, which it looks like I'm going to, it'll be to them.
One plus I really like about TD is the fact they are open on Sunday and keep later weekday hours than most banks do. It's nice being able to go the bank at 6pm on a Tuesday.

Since B of A announced their new $5.00 fee on debit cards, their site has been unavailable or unreliable. We are moving all 5 of our accounts out of there this week!

Yeah I heard of that. What a bone headed move to drive more people away from BoA.
But than again who said big banks were smart :roll:

I certainly understand that some positives exist, my point is that there are so many negatives, and more importantly, it is the principle that they are crooked that should direct all current account holders to switch.
If your maid service kept stealing from you, but the convenience that they could get there in 10 minutes notice was present, would you still keep using them? I sure would NOT. - Food for thought! :idea:

I put in a more than full price offer on a reo from b of a. I was scheduled to go to closing and a day before the title company calls me and tells me that the closing is delayed. Same thing happens the following week. I finally get the truth that b of a did not have legal ownership when they engaged in a contract with me. Nine months later I am still waiting. I still have the house under contract and they are still holding my emd of $ 20,000.
Better question- who is a bigger pain in the a$$? B of a or Fannie Mae?

Nope...BOA is 3453454 times worse Jason. I deal with Wells Fargo, Chase, etc. all of the time and don't have 1% of the problems I have with BOA. Why anyone still banks there is beyond me.
