Bank Of America
Dishonest method of processing transactions with intent to gain NSF funds from my account, ripoff!

Business & Finance

It is a widely known fact that many people do not have the time to balance their checkbook because they are too busy trying to make sufficient money to survive.

The banks in this country know these trends. They spend large amounts of money conducting algorithms on suspected potential NSF. Yes potential NSF customers! Banks in the US make very substantial chunks of revenue using this devious and criminal method to steal money from the public. One such bank is Bank of America. They literally put "policies" in place which are designed to entrap poor people who are struggling through life and have no choice but to use the criminal banking systems in this country.

I have been using Bank of America for over seven years. Not out of choice, but out of necessity to use some sort of banking system to run my life. I'm a hard worker and yes, some times I don't have enough money to cover all my bills. This is where BoA knows the opportunities lie. They have dedicated people monitoring working people's spending habits, to find when they might be susceptible to NSF transactions. When a NSF is detected, other transactions are held back from the customer's online view, leading the customer to believe the transaction has not yet hit the system. This in turn, makes people believe that they have some lead way to the next pay cycle.

When the next payday check is deposited, BoA begins to go to work cannibalizing (stealing) most or all the deposited money from the unsuspecting customer. Once this theft has taken place, it is obvious what happens next. That customer will then be incurring further NFS charges from the transactions that were initially held back by our friendly Bank of America. Now I understand what they mean by Excellent Customer Service! Bank of America is servicing it self through the trust that we the people have on this financial institution.

I will not go into detail with my case. The only thing I will say is that I was robed of $800.00 within the period of 4 days. I am unemployed and receiving unemployment insurance. I was forced to borrow $395.00 from my family for a. 72 cent NSF, which escalated to $560.00 because Bank of America's policies, just so that I could feed the very money hungry Bank of America stomach.

Like every good customer, I called Customer Service, Spoke with my branch manager and all they could give me is the typical canned and phony we're sorry but that's our policy Today, I am with no money to pay my rent, buy food, gas, or my medical prescriptions.

How far are we as a people going to go before we take a firm stance to fight this evil thievery?

I demand action!
