I'll keep it short and simple. Whats happening to America and certain Americans ?!?!? Been banking with B of A for over 20 years. I walk in their bank today and its like a prison! No tree , No cheerful holiday music, No decorations, Nothing. Manager told me "Sorry, the corporate office doesn't want to offend anyone" . I replied out loud with "Sorry, first thing next week my entire family and I are closing our accounts"! First Schools wanted to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance , Then there was talk of stopping "In God we trust" , Now this?!?!? beginning of the end I tell ya !

Merry Christmas and God Bless you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been displeased with this bank for a while. I opened an account back in the early/mid 1980's at a branch here when it was called F&M bank. Then it was Sovran, then Nationsbank, now Bank of America-which sucks. This finalizes my decision. I am closing out my accounts at the first of the year. They may not realize this or care, but they "offend" some people by not acnowledging Christmas. I am going to let them know about this as well.

Do you have to pay to use their sh*tter yet ?

[geeteeohguy]

Bank of America mistreated me over 30 years ago and I have not been back. To blazes with them.

When we moved to SC, we secured a mortgage with B of A. That was 5 years ago. We recently re-financed with another lender, after B of A said NO! We will also be closing our primary checking and savings accounts with them at the first of the year. Too many fees and a general lack of good customer service are the reasons. Bye Bye B of A!

I just love my credit union )

When we moved to So. Cal in '87 we opened an account with Security Pacific which was a good bank in my opinion. In the early to mid-90s they were absorbed by BofA. When we moved back to Texas in 2001 we kept BofA but then one after another we had bad experiences with them, including which every time I went in to see if I could have this or that done they couldn't do it no matter what it was. We switched to a local credit union and they are happy to do anything and everything and we've had no problems of any kind with them.

BofA got waaaay too big and became a bureaucracy. Congress screwed up banking when they allowed these institutions to go nationwide.

When a bank continually bounces good checks that a guy writes, what do you do ?
Fire that Bank

[wytnyt]

i left boa and went to bb&t when boa insisted i make a deposit receipt on my checks.
i put my checks in every few months and to write 25-30 checks down was a hassle for me.bb&t does it without a problem

[The Boss]

I hope they choke on their own puke!

I would have more faith in getting my money back from a meth addict than I would from them!

[goatless]

I have no personal dealings with BofA, but I have NEVER heard a single good thing about them. I can't believe that they have any customers from all of the stories that are around.

[Hitman]

It is the world we live in. Liberals inject this nonsense into us and all the sudden we dont want to offend a minority group of people. I say the majority of people need to yell louder and say we are offended.

Yes, they'll issue mortgages to people they know won't pay them back, they'll take billions of dollars from the American people, then pee it away, while giving huge bonuses to their executives, and then they want more money from the American taxpayers. But no, they don't want to offend anyone.

One of our local big box stores has a big Christmas display, and they call it a "Holiday Sale", and they sell "Holiday Trees". Then I began wondering about all these PC people, not offending anyone, etc., and I thought to myself, if they're celebrating with a "Holiday Sale" and with "Holiday Trees", what holiday are they celebrating if they can't say "Christmas"? Try asking one of these Liberals what a "Holiday Tree" is, and see how they respond.

About 6 months ago I closed all of my business accounts with the bank of socialists and communists. I now bank with a small local bank that has great customer service and good old fashioned values....

That's the great thing about a "free market". One can vote with their pocketbook and their feet. If B of A sees enough loss, they will reconsider or will need to be content with their new found position...

[mzbk2l]

Crazy... I've been with B of A since I moved to AZ in 1997. I don't think I've had any bad experiences with them, and I love the fact that they were one of the first to have free online bill pay (I write so few checks now that the current register in my checkbook goes back to 2001), free online transfers to other account holders (very convenient since I work overseas and have to transfer money online), and still free checking and savings - I haven't paid for either in the 14 years I've been with them.

Not having to listen to Christmas music (if I was there to visit a branch) is just a free bonus for me.

[Blackcat]

I dumped them about 10 years back after they hosed me on supposed overdraft charges. They did the hold my direct deposite and then run a bunch of on the first paid bills and tried to charge me overdrafts. I went down the next day and got it fixed and then closed my accounts.
