Bank of America Reviews

Crazy fees
I had a check to cash from Best Buy for $300. I went to Bank of America (where Best Buy do thier banking) to cash the check. I do not have a checking account with Bank of America.

They wanted to charge me $6 to cash a check drawn from thier bank!

How dumb is that.

With all the banks asking for a bail out, you think Bank of America would be helping people. Now they create a dumb policy to stick it to the customer one more time.

Close your Bank of America account today before you have to write a friend a check. They will name them too!

Overdraft Fees Scam
This Bank practices the art of holding transactions so you think you have a positive balance then they post them when your account is low, they pay the outstanding transaction that they hold themselves and charge a fee for every oustanding transaction, they charge the fee several time hoping you don't catch it. When you call customer service they tell you it is perfectly legal and will not refund a dime. This bank scams the little people because if they tried this with big companies they be in court in a second, and have to pay federal fines for their practices, yet they get away with doing it to the little guy. This bank has stolen thousands of dollars from me in the last six months and keeps telling me they will investigate it. the truth is if you don't get it satisfied within 45 days they own your money. Bank of America needs to be in federal court about there overdraft fees and banking practices.

Awful bank
This is what Bank of America did to me. We bought our home in December 2006. It is an older home and needed a lot of repair. They had an appraisal done and appraised the home at $105, 100.00. The was bought for $52, 000.00. Well we purchased our own home owners insurance and the insurance and the yearly taxes were escrowed into the payment of the home.

Our payments were $496.00. The next thing we know they sent a payment book in February 2008 with the payment amount of $2, 110.00 a month. We thought it ws a typo until we went to pay the payment. Well the had no explanation to why at the time. Well we checked into it further that they had not paid our insurance or taxes. They lapsed our insurance and force placed their insurance of $13, 000.00. That put our escrow out of whack by -$20, 000.00. Well we couldn't afford that. We tried to get more insurance and because we don't have a central heat and air unit and new siding on the house we can't get insurance. The home was built in 1920 and needs updates. The Florida commission said until we get these updates and due to the fact the back let our insurance lapse we won't be able to get new insurance. Well the home is in foreclosure. We have been to court twice now and the judge agreed there is a discrepancy on there part. The court both times we have went come out in our favor. The next day after court Bank of America hired SAFE-Loc to enter our home and change all of the locks on the doors. A week later they hired some other guy to cut the grass. They gave him the new keys to the home. First of all if he is cutting the grass why does he need to enter the home? Anyway he entered the home and started removing the contents that was still in the home. Well remember the judge has not awarded them the home. We went to the local sheriff's office and tried to get a No- Tresspass warrant to no avail. We have no lawyer cause we can't afford one and have been fighting this ourselves. We go back to court on November 5, 2008. I just hope that they fix our credit cause they have really messed it up. I hope they reward us either the home or they money we have paid into the home including the money used for remodeling. Something has to give.

Worst customer service
Several Complaints here.. I have just had it with this bank. They treat their customers like second-rate citzens even after we bailed them out with OUR tax dollars.

First, I had to fly out to Las Vegas because my Uncle became ill. While I was there he found out that he had terminal cancer and had a short time to live. He asked me to take care of some things because all of his family is from Michigan. He had a notary come to the hospital and filled out a General Power of Attorney and a Medical Power of attorney so that I could access his accounts and safety deposit box. I arrived at the bank and the manager denied me stating IT HAD TO BE ON THEIR FORM. I called the notary and she said that it was a legal document and they had to honor it. She even payed a visit to the bank manager and they still refused. We got the bank form but by that time; my uncle passed. I will now have to go back to Nevada several times over a VERY small estate that will cost more to settle than what he had. In the mean time; THEY FROZE MY BANK ACCOUNT!!! and put a FRAUD ALLERT ON IT!!! They had no compassion or care! It took over an hour to get it straightened out.

I arrived back in Michigan and needed a few bank statements to reconciile my Dad's account. I waited 30 minutes at their Telegraph location and finally spoke to someone who told me we would be charged. I was NEVER charged when it was Laselle. All of the kind tellers we had when it was Laselle were now gone. I was upset and left. I went to their Michigan Ave location and waited 40 minutes. Today, I went in to find out why I have not received my current statement and was told "Check with your local post office". I walked out and decided to file a complaint via email. I was now emailed back twice stating that all complaints must be sent via the US POST OFFICE only... so I stopped here... I hope they do not have any other policies or procedures when I go to withdraw all of our accounts. I feel more than an appology is necessary at this point.

ABUSIVE FEES
i HAVE TOLD THE BANK OF AMERICA ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT I DO NOT WANT THE COURTESY OF PAYING AN OVERDRAFT. tHEY WERE TOLD VERY CLEARLY. yET THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. oVERNIGHT WITHIN MINUTES A DEPOSIT THAT COVERS EVERYTHING WITH EXTRA CAM IN AND MY RENT AND PHONE CHECK AS WELL. aCTUALLY THE PHONE HAD TO BOUNCE AS IT DID CREATE AN OVERDRAFT. yET tHEY HAVE CHARGED ME 9 x 35 and it is growning. I had a good deposit come in today and it was in the black but I was hit with 2 more overdrafts. I am on social security disability and this is past abuse. I called the bank and my Premier banker 2 times and they all went into the specifics of 12:00 and 12:0 and my banker said she submitted a request for a refundfor 7 of the fees. It never happened.I am closing my accounts and I want my money back! I am writing to everyone news, government agency, rip-off blog that I can find! All because they did me this coutesy that I clearly stated no tot do. I am behind in my credit card and have$15 in savings so why would they pay iot? To rake in fees for many days. Since the limit is 5 a day, they just keep some spending and of course with all the fees the transaction and automatic payments, like the gym, create more overdrafts. They first day this happened I had received my pension and SSDI check, paid my $900 rent and phone and then they took all of my money. I had a little left as it started so I transfered %50 to savings so I could eat. I can not even get my medication, which is a struggle at several hundred a month not counting DR Visits. The Elite officials can take millions as bonuses, squander bail out money, and all the while the big Bank of Americarobs me of my little money I have to survive. I am also sending this to all of my government officials as this is beyond criminal. I would be laughable, that they refuse to bounce my check except it is all for the purpose of abusive robbery. You want support and then allow this? It is an outrage! I want no more ties and I want my funds returned minus the one that should have bounced since it missed by one minute. I demand that you look into this as it is commonplace. Will all that read this please contact your congressman, governor, senator,

Rip off
Piracy is the word best used to describe how we have been traeted by Bank of america. We have a credit card with 9% apr. We have never had a missed payment or have been late. After looking at this months statement the APR went up to an astonishing 21%. We called right away and here was their reply. In sept there was supposed to be a notice that if you continued to use the card the APR would go up. They must have put it in micro print because We never saw it. They also stated that their cost of business was going up.

Now we feel we are a victim of cooperate piracy. Our other cards are below 10%. So spread the word.

Credit card rate increase!
I have been a very long customer of Bank of America and have a coulple credit cards from them. Well, my interest rates are always pretty low (around 8%) but last month they raised it to 16% for no reason! I always pay my bills on time, so of course I called to find out why. They said they raised my interest rate because I have too much other debt and that I should seeek a credit card consolidation company to help me out... whatever... my debt is almost all at 1.99 or 0% interest rates except for this particular card. They "claimed" they sent a letter telling me that they'd raise my interest rate if I did not cancel the card. Well, the same time this "letter" was sent, we were in the midst of a massive hurricane in the Houston area. She did not care. I never got the letter and they were no sympathic at all. So irritating. DO NOT GET A BOA CREDIT CARD!! They will screw you any way they can...

Overcharged
Bank Of America continually neglects the Grace Period promised and required by law on their credit cards. Making it impossible to mail payments on time to meet the due date. Then they try and charge late fees. This is a Bank of America scam.

Overcharged
I have two credit card accounts with Bank of America. In the past few months they have reduced my credit limits; raised my interest rates to almost 30% and gave me an incorrect address to send a letter to 'opt-out' of the higher interest rates.

I followed the instructions given to exercise my 'opt-out' right and refuse the interest rate change. I had a time limit to send the letter, which I followed. My letter was returned to me, marked as undeliverable as addressed. I double checked all addresses and I addressed it correctly. Of course the time limit has passed and now I automatically go to the higher interest rate.

All this seems like legalized extortion to me. I pay my bills on time. I pay more than the minimum payments. All this nonsense is going to be the financial ruin of our country if we allow it to continue.

I have no problem with paying a reasonable interest rate. That is good business. I have no problem with paying for things that I purchase. That too is good business. I do have a problem with being robbed blind and it is all being done legally (as far as I know). These practices must be stopped and these companies must be brought under control.

There are no 'bail-outs' for all of us average citizens. What good is raising rates to beyond reasonable rates?? Make minimum payments so high that people have to choose between paying living expenses or their credit cards. It's a no brainier to see who will win that argument.

These companies are trying to pull in as much cash as possible from those of us that believe in and value our credit rating but the ultimate cost of this is spiraling so far out of control; it's down right frightening.
