Bank of America refuses to let customers close accounts

At a rally in St. Louis on August 12, 2011, several people with savings and checking accounts at Bank of America tried to walk into the building to close their accounts. The suits and the police they had there to back them up wouldn't allow it.

@bimmjim You forgot the part where the government forced the banks to give out loans to people that didn't qualify which was a major cause of the housing bubble.

I had no problem closing my account when I walked in without a megaphone. No one in the branch seemed to care one bit about me closing my account.... same outcome.

@TheGeneralOfWar

Did the government tell the property appraiser (lender's agent) to submit an outcome-based appraisal?

Did the government order the lenders into dismissing all fiduciary responsibility in the underwriting process, and then force the “lenders” into forging documents?

Did the government force the lenders to securitize the loan in such a fashion as to bifurcate the mortgage from the note?

Did the government secretly cook up the concept of Credit Default Swaps

Bank of America really sucks! it went though a transaction after I called to tell them don't went though, also the card is the one I didn't event activate it! They charged me late fee and interest for this unreasonable transaction, and they said let me show the evidence that I shouldn't pay for that bill in order to dispute the transaction, but they never let the company which charged me illegal (T-mobile) to show the evidence why I should pay after I am not Tmobile's customer.

Hey guys, we are going to make a difference by closing our BoA accounts. But we're not going to close them separately, we're going to herd up into a big group and charge up there angrily. Maybe then they will notice us...Great one, how about you try just walking in there and asking nicely to close your account?

@TheGeneralOfWar You forgot the part where the banks saw what was going to happen and instead of alerting anyone, chose to profit off of it individually by hedging bets against the payment of those debts. While almost bankrupting the banks themselves, The bankers made off with hundreds of millions, if not billions.
