TJ, it's irresponsible to say that nothing can be done about it. There is such a thing as a credit union. If BOA loses enough customers as a result of this money grab, they will change their tune. BOA's mission, is to turn their customers money into their money.
Attention Bank of America & Wells Fargo Bank customers !
As you know these bank giants want to charge customers for debit card use
Customers should retaliate! Stop using your debit card for 3 months & write checks instead. Everybody knows that debit card transactions save the banks millions over check transactions.
BoA CEO Moynihan should go down the same path as Netflix CEO Hastings & learn that customers will only feed the pigs to a certain point.
This is the thanks we get for bailing out the banking industry. I would hope that Bank of America customers cancel their debit cards and move their money elsewhere.
They are willing to risk losing customers who been with them for more than twenty years. I say go right ahead because I will take what does go there and slide it all to NFCU
Apparently Bank of America is now experimenting with their latest plan to charge users a premium for a web site that works properly :-).
BofA recently altered their free checking rules where your direct deposit now has to have a minimum amount in order to qualify. I got slapped with a surprise maintenance fee of $15. With this fee and the rumor of the debit card use fee I will be closing my account after 10 years with them. I read earlier today someone was justifying the fee as "just the cost of doing business" but i think its the business of lining greedy pockets. The local credit union will now be receiving my money.
They want 5.00 a month then lets give it to them, then we stop using Debt cards and use cash or checks. Make them earn that 5.00 a month by spending 10.00 a month in overhead to keep cash on hand and to cash checks. These people are sick, when we are hurting most, they want us to hurt more. OWS is a warning shot. Next time you pay for your crime of Financial Terrorism. OWS could very well be the beginning of the end for wells fargo. Americans have had enough!!!
I am so beyond being nickle and dime'd to death..Back to cashing and paying cash.
BOA are a bunch of crooks! Close your accounts and move your money elsewhere, if they lose enough customers, maybe they will change there tune!!!!!!!!!!!!
