Bank of America is absolutely rediculous with their fees!  And, their customer service people are impossible to deal with.

I had 3 very small charges (3.00, 4.00 and 6.00) hit my account on 8/31.  My check went into my account on 9/1.  They charged me 3 - 35.00 fees!!!  Then just yesterday, they charged me 10.00 for moving 32 cents from my savings account to my checking account.

I have called and written, but they keep saying it was my fault.  Yes, I know it was my fault, but I don't make a habit of overdrawing my account.

I tried to explain to them I have had a lot of medical bills, but they don't care.

They are getting rich off of causing other people grief who are already financially strapped because of the economy.

I pay my bills, work 2 jobs and made a mistake.  You would think they might care just a little bit.

115.00 for 13.00 in charges!

RONNY G IS CORRECT ABOUT DOING RESEARCH BEFORE STATING SOMETHING ON THE WEB THAT'S WHY....

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

POSTED: Wednesday, September 23, 2009

ANYONE can 'Google' this- RIP OFF REPORT GM CREDIT CARD SERVICES, and go to Betty's Rip Off Report about how her 'credit card interest rate' went from 10.99% to 32.44%, and then read the '1st Update' to her report where the "COLLAPSE of the U.S. economy" was accurately predicted on 9/3/2007 when the Dow Jones was well above 13,000 points, right?


It's always best to do your research before stating ANYTHING on the web, correct? That's why I can state that Toyota's CEO, Jim Press, quit his position with Toyota after 37 years, & announced his resignation on 9/6/2007 which was exactly two weeks after SLUDGE POEM (you can 'Google' it) was posted about him on 8/23/2007 right here at Ripoffreport.com

And I know that only 3 days after a Christmas song was written & posted about him on 9/3/2007, he quit. You can 'Google' this- RIP OFF REPORT TOYOTA CHRISTMAS SONG #2, and I believe that a 'Toyota Christmas song' will appear in the Updates section, right?

WRITE A POEM- THEY'LL ALL KNOW HIM!

SING A SONG- YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!

P.S. You can 'Google' this- JIM PRESS, and go to the (((Redacted))) site and read that Jim Press announced his resignation with Toyota on 9/6/2007.

Thanx you CJ...

You got it all figured out I guess and anyone and everyone who has ever overdrafted..and subsequently was charged many many additional fees that had the funds which cleared at the time of transaction... was simply negligent and is a poor money manager. Wow..who would have thought?...

And those fees were crazy, ridiculous and insane as you agree...hmmm.

And anyone and everyone who had this happen to them is at fault..because they willingly and lnowingly agreed that the bank can do this to them and charge ALL these fees...even charging additional overdraft feew which had the funds..and that the bank can hide, alter, delay and otherwise manipulate transactions, withdrawals and deposits in order to maximize these fees..and make these fees more likely in occur by ENCOURAGING overdrafting...hmmm..interesting to say the least.

And...if anyone does not like this..tough beans..as you stated correct..they can just do without a bank account right??? That will get them all those "crazy" fees back..right..or prevent it from happeneing to anyone else ever again..right? If they realize this can happen and don't like it they should get out of that bank..right?? Hmm.

What was the other defense you stated...oh..."it's not that hard to avoid OD fees"..hmmm really....

Well I happen to have it on good authority that the banks took in over 38 BILLION dollars in fee in 09 alone...more then the budget gap of the ENTIRE bankrupt state I live in California.....hmmm...10% of the banks customers get "more the 2 OD fees a year" you stated on your good authority??  So I guess that small insignificant 10% were only charged 2 overdraft fees for the 2 times they overdrafted...you think???

And..in closing you state "
and the fees that are caused by merchant or bank error or fraud are refunded". You have any good authority on this info too??? Everytime there is fraud or an error on the banks or a merchants end..the customer is refunded...every time? You know this. And...even so...if due to a banks or merchants error or refund the customers account was overdrafted..for the single error or fraud..the customers money was jacked because of as a result..the bank also charged overdraft fees for a dozen other smaller transactions that took place previously..and rightfully had the funds due to no neglect of the customers..and their resister could not know..so now they go without their funds for however long it takes for the bank to investigate and "sort out" for however long it takes..since even if there is error or fraud on the banks or a merchants end...the customer is guilty until proven innocent and pays the price???

Look Cj  we appreciate you posting your "opinion" here..but please do some better research before posting...read the reports before commenting to see what the true issue is....in closing. I would like to say the bank better hope you are not their attorney..or they have ones that take this stance..because they would sink in about 2 minutes.

Yes but...

AUTHOR: Cj - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, September 20, 2009

True, OD fees assessed by B of A and most other banks are crazy. Ridiculous. Insane. However, this is what you agreed to when you opened your account. These are the terms that banks set out. If these are onerous to you, then just do without a bank account. Good luck with that, but you do have that option. AND, it is not that hard to avoid OD fees.  I have it on good authority that less than 10% of a bank's checking account customers get more than 2 OD fees a year. Poor money management  by this minority is the cause of most OD fees, and the fees that are caused by merchant or bank error or fraud are refunded.

Cdavis, Here's a quote: "There are corporations listed on the stock exchange whose sole purpose is to line the pockets of the top executives with millions of dollars in cash." - Harvard....

Business Professor, 2004.


To read that quote, & others, simply 'Google' this- RIP OFF REPORT FUEL FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL MPG CAPS, and go to the 2001 Toyota Tacoma Rip Off Report, and then to the 'Update' entitled- 'Blame it on a Lawyer'. 

That 'Update' was posted on 8-21-2007 when the Dow Jones was above 13,000. The Dow Jones closed at its ALL-TIME high of 14,164 just 6 weeks later on 10-9-2007. Look at the last thing stated in that 'Update'. QUOTE:

"Get ALL of your money out of the stock market now! The Collapse HAS been triggered!!!!"

GUESS WHAT?

IT HAPPENED, didn't it?

Not a rip off

AUTHOR: Jeanski - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, September 16, 2009

I'm sorry, but this isn't a ripoff. It's just poor money management. Yes, the fees are ridiculously high. But it's a strong deterrent, isn't it? If you empty your account just before paypay you're better off using cash instead of your debit card.


I'm not sure about that $10.00 fee. Why would you transfer only 32 cents? If the $10 fee is the standard rate for a transfer, it should be in your consumer agreement your eceived when you opened the account.


And no, they don't care about you or your medical problems. They don't care about mine either. The banks and credit agencies are BUSINESSES who want to make money. They do that through the account holder's own carelessness.


I'm willing to bet you don't overdraft again anytime soon!


And just ignore Karl. He's paranoid and rants about everything.

Cdavis, 'Google' this- US ABOUT TO HIT DEBT CEILING- AGAIN, and read that CNNMoney.com article about....

the U.S. debt.


Our government 'leaders' DO NOT CARE about the American people, in my opinion. They have other things more important to look after. (Themselves, & their 'Master': The Federal Reserve).

I believe that our ENTIRE SYSTEM will soon go down. If that happens, then Americans WILL LOSE what's left in their RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, 401K's, IRA's, stocks, & even PENSIONS. If YOU have a Retirement Account, cash it in NOW!

Good luck to you.
