Time to cancel all your bank of america accounts

[sniper7]

just got this in an email and a snopes confirmation of its truth. fuck bank of america. maybe they should change the name to bank of mexico....

Bank of America-- Bank of America, can I help you? Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.The Bank: Why?Customer: You're giving credit cards to illegal immigrants and I don't think its right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?Customer: (gives account number)The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?Customer: No?The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are.Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'mclosing my accountis that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't havesocial security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for aSocial Security number, would you?The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.Customer: Why not?The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.If this raises the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country including every representative in Washington , DC . Provided "snopes" for doubters: (If it doesn't work, copy/paste)

Unfortunatley this is the case with many corporations in America.

Yep that was aired about 3 years ago on the news, and yes they believe it is all right to do that. But Fanny may and freddie mac believe it is ok to give them houses to go with their B-of-A credit cards, food stamps, utility assistance, and low interest auto loans. Plus if they are smart they can get the illegal tuition assistance which pays for school plus extra for going to school. Then they can still work for under the table beer money. Man I am doing something wrong.

BAC is one of the worst bank IMHO.
One guy who received a counterfeit 100 bill at one of Los angeles branch office. He got screwed.

I surf Consumerist.com every once in a while...every few months there is another article about BofA screwing over a client...

[Half Live]

Bellco Credit Union FTW. I used to have accounts at Wells Fargo and Chase untill they started to screw me over then I switched to Bellco and I love them.

...what exactly happens when illegal aliens, who can't be accurately tracked, default on their credit cards?

[Ridge]

BofA ups their rates on a regular basis, anyways...

Sometimes I feel like a moron for bothering to follow the rules at all. If I were a crooked executive, or a greedy politician, or any sort of welfare parasite (this category includes illegal aliens), I do believe I would be better off materially...

It seems to me that everybody but the middle class knows that the rules of society are a joke meant to be bent, broken, and taken advantage of.

Great. Our mortgage was sold to BOA last year.

[ChunkyMonkey]

<-- making $$$ of BOA's bad habits [Tooth]

[jake]

My wife was with BofA when we first married and put me on all her accounts before I had an SS#. To their credit, they did ask me for it until I explained I hadn't got one, but it was about two years before they called me again and asked if I had one yet.

That's because we are the ones who were raised with morals and ethics.

Sometimes I feel like I have a giant rubber stamp mark on my forehead that says "SUCKER".

Bank of America,, what a Joke, owned by out of country interests.

mine was several years ago- trying to do a refi, but it's a PITA with acreage- many banks just don't want to do it...

it's not a farm, I don't rely on any of the land for income, but some just won't do it...[Bang]

[Ridge]

I've read horror stories about people making their payments on their mortgage, then BofA forgetting it happened and demanding they pay (again).

It gets cleared up, they finally realize they did get paid....until it happens again the next month. And the month after that. And so on.

[jake]

I don't know if any of you are watching America: The Story of Us on the History Channel but BofA are running adverts during the show that put them just above Benjamin Franklin and ever so slightly below George Washington in terms of importance to the founding of this country.

[Ridge]

Well, considering all the liberal revisionist BS that makes up that show, I'm not suprised...
