Woman's Accounts Frozen After $3M Overdraft: WESH.com (B of A being Aholes once again)

[KAOSkins]

Not only do they make a massive mistake but in their arrogance they screw with this ladies life in a completely heartless manner. BofA owns my mortgage (we need to be able to have some say in those things) and it causes me pain each month to send them a check.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- An Orlando woman claims an outrageous overdraft has led to her accounts being frozen. Tanya Forister said she was already struggling to make ends meet when she checked her three bank accounts and found that she was $3 million in the red."I don't think I would ever see that much money in my lifetime," Forister said.

The unemployed single mother said each of her accounts had negative balances of almost $900,000.Bank of America locked her online account and apparently closed two of her accounts, she said. That prompted Forister to head to a bank to deal with the issue in person."They wouldn't give me any of my money and said they were in the process of closing my accounts and would send me a check in 10 to 15 business days," Forister said.

1) Somehow I suspect that your thread title wasn't the headline of the story. (It may be accurate, but it's not The Rules.)

2) Final paragraph of the story:

After WESH 2 News reached out to Bank of America, the bank did agree to keep one of Forister's accounts open, giving her access to a small amount of money while it investigates exactly what happened.

So they only gave a crap about her plight when they were contacted by a news organization? That sure IS assholish.

This isn't even remotely surprising. I have refused to do business with them for a long time now.

I recently closed my BoA account and went to a community bank. For some reason I feel so much better, like I'm no longer feeding the beast lol.

Fixed it. I read that paragraph too, it didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy towards them.

I wouldn't ever open an account with BoA.
