...in case anyone here has an account (as I still do, unfortunately), with these bailed-out, taxpayer-sucking, politically bottom-feeding crooked scum.
Let me preface this by saying, yes, I know, I should not have ONE CENT deposited with this criminal institution. I have savings/assets outside of them, but I still have a checking account which I use for everyday expenses. And, yes, I will be terminating that.
Here's what happened today: I deposited a check into the checking account, through an ATM, and when I got the receipt showing my balance, it showed a balance of less than half of what it should have been.
When I called their "customer service" representative, I was told that BofA has recently reprogrammed their ATMs to print out a receipt showing ONLY the available balance (meaning, not including the updated amount including the just-made deposit). The deposited amount is not added to the pre-existing balance until the deposit is posted, usually the nexy day. The "customer service" rep told me she has been receiving constant calls from upset people who think their accounts have been debited without their knowledge (like me).
When I asked, "why would they do this?", she told me, "they are trying to get people to budget their money more carefully"(!).
I said (rather furiously), "the Bank of America, who operated so recklessly that they needed a multi-billion dollar payout from the American Taxpayer, is trying to tell ME how to be budget conscious? I have literally NEVER overdrawn my checking account in over fifteen years (the whole time I've had the account), and Bank of America, the VERY SAME BofA who are multi-billion dollar bailout taxpayer-funded recipients, are telling ME how to work within a budget, by LYING to me about my account balance?!"
That's right, the Bank of Fucking America, Corporate Welfare Recipients of THE HIGHEST FUCKING ORDER are trying to school me in how to set a FUCKING BUDGET!! By not giving me my TRUE BALANCE when I make a deposit through an ATM, so I think I have LESS MONEY than I should?!
Anybody else (willing to admit they still patronize these scumsucking crooks), notice this new "policy"?
Addendum: Sorry for all of the shouting, but this is the long overdue proverbial BofA bullshit straw to my personal camel's back. I'm closing my BofA checking account tomorrow. It's an advantageous time to do so, cuz I just moved and need to get new checks printed with my new address, anyway.
