Personal loan in good standing with Shank of America.  Never any late payments always paid early. 

Personal loan account converted to a gold credit card account without notification or permission. 

Now that personal loan is a credit card account, fixed rate has been replaced with a variable rate.  New minimum balance payment is almost triple the amount of previous minimum balance payments. 

The letter notifying me of the new terms did not have an address or phone number for me to make an inquiry.  I looked up phone number on Shank of America website but phone number had been disconnected.

I went into a branch and they could not help me.  They gave me the same disconnected phone number.  I expalined to phone number didn't work so they called and received the same disconnect notice.  I was then given another phone number where I was placed on hold for 10 minutes.  No one ever answered my query.

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP POEM

AUTHOR: Karl - highlands ranch (U.S.A.)

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP POEM

Where's my money
Go call the cops
Hey what's that smell
CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS!

No regulation
But lots of fraud
The world's collapsing
Oh my God!

Keep printing money
Hope they don't see
Bail-out the banks
And A.I.G.

No more recession
Things looking fine
4th Quarter's here
In 2009.

Go call Bernanke
'Cause he's our man
That last one stunk
Poop hit the fan!

This poem's over
Go ring that bell
Now 'Google' this-
YOUTUBE THAT SMELL

End.

'Google' this- YOUTUBE THAT SMELL LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and watch it on the web.

Thank You.

>>>>>>>>>>URGENT ALERT FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD<<<<<<<<<<

'Google' this- THE WARNING: FRONTLINE PBS, and watch that documentary on the web. It aired last night on the PBS station. (It might have something to do with everything that transpiring against innocent Americans who have bank accounts with all of the major banks in the USA, wouldn't you NOW agree?)

Encore presentation of- STIMULUS CHECK POEM

AUTHOR: Karl - highlands ranch (U.S.A.)

STIMULUS CHECK POEM

Oh my goodness
What the heck
Soon we'll get
A stimulus check!

Let's go shopping
We can buy
A loaf of bread
And pumpkin pie.

Some gasoline
Cigarettes to smoke
One lotto ticket
And now I'm broke.

A great idea
Just keep 'em coming
One each week
The economy's humming.

This poem's over
Gonna have a smoke
And watch our country
Go totally broke!

End.

'STIMULUS CHECK POEM' was posted on April 26th 2008 at 5:54 PM in the comments section of the BusinessWeek article entitled- 'THERE IS NO GAS SHORTAGE' (you can 'Google' that BW article!) I believe it's on 'Page 23', or thereabouts. It was inspired by the $168 BILLION 'stimulus check' give-away by our government back in early 2008, remember?

Keep watching the price of OIL over the coming months. I believe it might RISE. 'Google' this- DID SPECULATION FUEL OIL PRICE SWINGS, and watch it. That might have something to do with OIL'S price increase since early January 2009 when it was around $36 a barrel, right? Oil is around $80 a barrel today.

*Make sure to 'Google' this- THE WARNING: FRONTLINE PBS, and watch that documentary on the web. You'll need to watch that documentary in order to appreciate the next poem.

Coming soon: 'BROOKSLEY BORN POEM'

Thank You.

BROOKSLEY BORN POEM

AUTHOR: Karl - highlands ranch (U.S.A.)

BROOKSLEY BORN POEM

There once was a woman
Brooksley Born was her name
Protecting the PEOPLE
Was the name of her game.

She went against Greenspan & Summers
Many others, it's true
She was 'serving the people'
Unlike so many will do.

This country is corrupt
It has been so for years
The corrupt keep defrauding
Leaving the honest in tears.

We'd wake-up every day
Go to work in the morning
Brooksley Born saw it coming
She was sounding 'The Warning'

Now our country's collapsing
We hear cries, shouts & moans
Credit default swaps & derivatives
And destructive home loans.

Guess this poem is over
She didn't work for the 'pay'
She worked for the American PEOPLE
Who live in this land- USA.

End.

Don't forget to 'Google' this- THE WARNING: FRONTLINE PBS, and watch it on the web.

Thank You.

regarding loan to credit card

AUTHOR: Alex - M - (United States of America)

The Conversion is a normal precedure because bank of america sees potential in making money on the loan that you currently have.  Variable is always subject to change in terms and its normal bank of america to continue abusing those rates as long as the account is current and active.  The only way of getting the interest and minimum payments lowered is to go through a financial assessment and doing a break even point of the household income and expenses.  Its my advise to u . if not i recommend getting a new card and transfering the entire balance over at a much lower interest rate.
