No, this isn't something taken off of Yahoo News (but if anyone can tell me how to get an
article up there, I'll be grateful).
Over the course of two days BoA has stolen $175 from my friend, and from what she's heard BoA
has done this to other customers with accounts under $1000 as well.
The last transaction she made had left her account with $4. BoA hit her with a $70 overdraft
fee, putting her at -$66. Her account has no stipulations about keeping a minimum balance, so
this was an illegal fee.
She called her bank, and not only did they refuse to refund her the money but they hung up on
her when she wouldn't take no for an answer.
A charitable friend deposited $70 into her account to get her out of the negative, but then BoA
hit her with another "overdraft fee."
This is blatant theft from a corporate bank.
I have already told my friend to seek an attorney because this is a lawsuit. If anyone here or
someone you know has had their money stolen by BoA, please speak up. With multiple people this
can be a class-action lawsuit. This company should not be allowed to get away with this.
My mom told me that BoA lost 2.2 million dollars in their third quarter. I think I see how
they're planning to make it up.
Please spread the message. It's the only way to make this company pay for what they're doing.
