Bank of America Walkout

http://roydeyoung.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/05/index.html
If you are like me, you are concerned, frustrated, and a bit confused that Bank of America has been allowed, and enabled, by the U.S. government to suck the life out of our financial system. In addition, if you are like me you are very pissed-off that BOA has recently sent out letters to customers, like myself, that our credit card interest rates have nearly tripled. Because they feel like it. Regardless of the customer's history and good standing with the bank.




Both personally and professionally I believe this brand has become a joke, a picture of sleaze that even Larry Flint can not compete with. At least Larry Flint makes money the old fashioned way, he earns it! BOA has to steal their money from us to continue to fuel their failing machine.


I believe it is time that we Bank of America customers tell these pirates that we are not going to take this anymore and we are going to give our business to the smaller regional and local banks that deserve the business.


I ask each of you to close your accounts at BOA and walk out the door this week. Tell them goodbye, and that we are not going to bend-over for them anymore and take this crap! If we all do this it will send a message that extortion-based banking is no longer acceptable in this new era of customer empowerment. I also ask that each of you share my new interpretation, with your friends and family, of what I believe the acronym BOA should now stand for, as well as the new logo Bank of America should employ since it is much more fitting and aligned with their business model.

I just happily closed mine today (11/17/11) after 3 long years of bullshit. I joined a local credit union and now feel a lot better about myself. BOA is Bank of Satan!

Senators and banksters are all the same!!! Support local credit unions and mom and pop businesses.

Been to a few banks and none of them have been as great as my credit union. They have all raped me on overdraft fees and they're all fucking crooks. Get with a credit union you will not be disappointed.

ok here is the problem....boa is the issuing party for all government credit cards. i know this as i looked on the back of our government employees cards. no way out

although at the surface, it seems like a better idea. but where the money comes from is the same. either way, u pay back more than 2 times what u owed, if u owed anything

closed my account! Wooohooo!

I see you are upset about the interest rate on your credit account. If you pay your balance off every month before the due date you have nothing to be angry about.

Bank of America just raised my payment of $379 a month to $886 because they say my escrow account is in the negative. They said I needed flood insurance so I bought it, and now they keep buying and cancelling flood insurance on my property. I need a lawyer. I have to have $4700 by the 11th of January to keep my house.
