Here is what you can expect from this Bank when they get a chance to charge a fee they will take without hesitation even though they weren't even the original credit card co (and I don't carry balances on any credit cards)

Message text: I am astounded by the way I was treated when calling in to BankofAmerica (B.A.). My account was transferred from Citibank and was on autopay and I guess they didn't draft the payment for the last bill.
Then the first notice I get from B.A. Is a late fee and interest, before I even received my new valid credit card from you. When I asked to speak to a supervisor regarding getting the fees reversed, I was told I there was no supervisor available to speak, until I paid the balance due first, and that I should take up the problem with the missed payment with Citibank even though the fees were "paid to B.A." I paid the balance in full on the same day. Now I get a new balance owed of a
measly 2 dollars. If this is how Bank of America treats its customers and is this desperate to squeeze whatever they can from good paying cardholders I WILL NEVER give another dime of my business to your company again.

After reviewing your account, we have determined that the $39.00 late fee assessed on 04/15 was applied correctly. We regret we are unable to remove the fee at this time. Therefore, this transaction will remain part of your account balance.

I never liked them in the past but had no choice when they took over my Upromise Citicard, and was going to give them a chance but now they will never get my business nor should they get any other person's business. THis bank can take tax payer money and then turn around a and go fee happy on legitamte good paying customers.
