BofA Parody

TS- I already found a bank for Dusty and literally stumbled upon this one for you and anyone else that ever had a bad experience with BofA. Once upon a time, I banked (for lack of a better term) with them, too.


Your new BofA

I quit banking at BoA years ago after they 'lost' car payments and cashed voided checks. In the many cases of 'lost' car payments, on several occasions I drove right over and gave them another check....only to have both checks clear the next day.

Considering BoA has laundered money for the drug cartels, it is somewhat of a surprise that they would turn away the business of a legitimate business such as McMillan. But then again the moment BoA got bailed out by the DC Mob they lost control of their operations

You know, BoA doesn't offer counter checks to their customer......no kidding. I was cashing a check at a BoA a few months bank. The lady in front of me requested some counter checks because BoA lost her check order and the Teller told her she couldn't get them. A Branch Manager interceded only to tell the lady she need to use her debit or credit card and that checks are so pass'e.

I never have those problems with the local bank down the street.

So judging from the comments posted so far I have come to the conclusion that this bank is not being very well run. I thought banks were in the business of handling peoples money, now if you piss off and run off the people who have the money just what kind of a bank will you have to run? There are a lot more of us out there than there are of them. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, hit them where it hurts!

A visual aid, and one more reason not to use BofA. You'll have to scroll down a ways, because they made the top three...

I was with Ft. Sam Houston National Bank for many years before they were absorbed by BoA into a branch called BoA Military Banking.

They kept most of the FSH policies and are a lot less expensive to use than the main BoA.

At the same time, I also use a military credit union for my mortgage, credit cards, auto loans, checking, and savings.

The reason we kept the BoA account open was the sheer number of branches that we can use to cash checks, pay bills, etc.

I am wondering now if we really need that convenience.

Been with BofA since '87 after they bought out Security Pacific but I think I might just write the CEO a letter and let him know how I feel. If they don't make ammends with McMillian then it's adios. Their service is not what it used to be anyway.

They will not make amends and will send you a standard form stating that their policy is to not do business with firearms manufacturers. They are actually proud of that s**t. That is how liberal the a**holes are.

I have to agree with the manager on that. I haven't used a paper check in years.

I like handing exact change to cashiers these days.....throws them off when they have to count and actually engage their damn brains.

Me too.

Word passed around, I'm not a BoA customer so that's a plus.
