Bank of America runs a scandalous business based on fraud, theft, and greed. Yesterday I checked my account being that payday is literally around the corner. Shock, awe, and surprise do not even begin to describe what I felt when I saw my account was overdrawn by $219.95. On April 30, my paycheck was directly deposited into my account. So far, it's all copacetic. On May 1, I make 2 purchases and a withdrawal. One of my purchases came with a $35 overdraft fee. On the same day I paid 3 bills online. Now I am aware of how this works. The payments don't always go through at the time you make them so I did what everyone does... leave the money alone. On May 2, all my payments went through along with a $35 overdraft fee on each. How do I go from having $400 in the bank to being overdrawn by $219.95? The bills I paid only amounted to around $200. So let's do the math.

Yesterday after work I went into a Bank of America Branch. I spoke to someone who obviously did not know what she was talking about. I was told that it is Bank of America's new policy to charge overdraft fees on pending transactions. So even though at the ATM the receipt stated that I had funds available, B of A still hadn't processed my direct deposit. All of this makes no kind of sense to me. How come I was able to withdraw $40 from the ATM if there were no funds available? How was I able to get gas if there were no funds available? How was I able to get my morning coffee and bagel if there were no funds available? By the way, I was charged a $35 overdraft fee on a $3.54 purchase at Safeway.

I am a poor, single working mom trying to keep a roof over my family's head and food on the table. How do you explain to a seven year old you're sorry but those new shoes they need just aren't going to happen or that the fridge is empty because B of A took literally half my paycheck in overdraft fees? To say that I am angry, furious, livid, again, is an understatement. Bank of America took food out of my child's mouth and I am enraged. Today I am going back to the bank and speak to the Branch Manager and let them know that they stole my money and they will be putting it back into my account immediately and I will be using every outlet to let the public know what they have done. If I had done this to someone, I would be behind bars.

FIA CARDSERVICES, owned by Bank of America. STEALING!!! Autopay on closed account. When you take something that doesn't belong to you that is called STEALING!!! "If it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck it is FIA CARDSERCVICES STEALING FROM A CLOSED ACCOUNT WITH A ZERO BALANCE!!!

Paid Balance to zero on 5/13/08 and allowed payment to clear; closed account afterwards via phone and got a letter stating account was closed. On June 3, 2008 -- FIA CARDSERVICES did an autopayment on a closed account with a zero balance. The rep told me they could send me in check in a few days. She said it was my fault because I didn't go into the CLOSED ACCOUNT online and undo the AUTOPAY. I asked if AUTOPAY was another company, she said no. I asked then why couldn't one call close one account and all that is on it? She said it all depends... and went on and on with a litany of possibilities -- AND NONE OF THOSE POSSIBILITIES included "reversing the erroneous payment." I have to wait and get my money in check form though they got theirs in immediate electronic form. My bank had me to fax a form from their site and they reversed the charge and put the money back into my account. But that leaves next month. Oh yes, 60 days after closing the account the autopay will take my money. THAT'S STEALING!!!

CITI BANK did the exact same thing but they didn't bother to tell me about canceling autopay separately. The check took seven days to get to me. I am disabled, on limited income and was about to buy groceries when I thought to check my balance. I AM LAUNCHING A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO HAVE THE AUTOPAY STOPPED WHEN THE ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, especially if the balance is ZERO.

i don;t how and when thay took out money where my knowing I thought i bount something but i did't. I just want the money that took from my account please.

I apply for a loan with BOA and they lied about the interest rate they reassured me it was going to be 8.99, and it was 15.99 They lied I kept asking if the interest was ever going to change and she said no that it would stay at this 8.99 and when I got statement the interest was 15.99 not the 8.99 as promise, my Husband called

The Supervisor would not let my husband get a word in and he had to asked her to stop talking so he could tell what the other lade had said.

I noticed a check card (debit card) charge of $1.09 off my Bank of America account. Like everyone else I did an Internet search and found this complaint site. This is scary. I am calling BOA right now. If this is happening to this many people then the bank should know something fishy is going on.
