Great job documenting...problem is Banks all over are seizing high net worth accounts and thats when you discover you are powerless to do much. You will sue and when and may get your NSF money back but you won't see much in TORT. The banks know this fact. Add several zero's to your acct and you would be in my position both Internationally and Domestic. Banks don't want their High net worth clients moving banks right now for any reason. These funds were legally gotten gains and I'm just a good old fashion white country boy. I have government clearances and have never been arrested or have filed or been filed on for a lawsuit. The Banks just seized the accounts and said "That account never existed." "Prove it" or "Sue us". "We'll still have your money for 3 years."

I am sure your accounts were insured by the FDIC -- Simply make a claim and I am sure you will get some action

well it seems like I am not the only person with the B of A Risk Management problem. You need to call Early Warning Services at 800-745-1560 their web site URL is early-warning.com. When you call them you need to be persistent otherwise they will send you a form that you will need to fill out and they will review it which takes 30+ days. If you are persistent and telll them to e-mail you the form you can fill it out then fax it back and get back on the phone and continue to check they will eventually work with you. if you take these steps which is only the beginning Early Warning Services will e-mail you your Consumer Report and that will tell you who reported you and why. This process is not easy and you must be persistent if not dont bother you will end up wasting your time.

Interesting side note Early Warning Services is wholly owned by B of A, JPMC/WaMu, Citi Bank, you get the message.

Love the sue first option. I'm sure the huge legal department of Bank Of America just allows accounts to be frozen for no reason and open themselves up to lawsuits. For whatever reason BoA did this I'm sure they have their butts covered
Yes, sue first. The huge legal department at BOA is likely busy trying to handle the much larger issues of MBNA, Merril, Countrywide, etc...

Banks make mistakes all the time, but rely on passive consumers like yourself to just sit back and take it without even a fight.

Lawsuits don't complicate this, it makes it much simpler and gets the appropriate attention lickity split.

I'm coming to this thread late, but this guy is claiming that BofA illegally seized nearly a million dollars of his?

And he's taking BofA to court on his own, in small claims (did the person who said this speak accurately)?

Riiiiiggggtttt....

Hi, the smae thing jsut happend to me, I went into my local branch they said that within 24 hours I could call back and they would tell me when they would mail me a cashiers check with my money, after they clsoed my account for no reason just like you. I thought my money was safe tehre but i guess we have to go back to old days hiding our money in the mattress!!!

JesseLivermore said:I'm coming to this thread lateRead some more. He sued for actual damages of the ~$1000 in misc fees that he incurred as a result of BofA's actions, and to remove the undeserved credit and chex reports made on his name that will make it difficult for him to open accounts at other institutions.

The problem is because of the App-O Rama, that activity is borderline illegal, and a form of 'gaming' the system.OP is like a 'card counter' that got caught in a casino.Best thing to do is NOT to argue just head out the door.

This forum is not for people who just "roll over" and let the big corps break you because they are big. AORs are nothing close to borderline illegal. You are engaging the banks in an offer THEY MADE YOU. It's not like he walked into the bank and pressured them into giving him 0% loans. Also, even if he wanted to walk out the door, he couldn't because they would not give him his money.

Card counting isn't illegal by the way, just using devices to assist you in card counting. They can ask you to leave the casino, since it is private property, but they cannot prevent you from taking the money you won.

Please be specific about what laws an AOR "borderline" breaks.

Your using 'Float' time, i.e. Applying for FAR MORE credit, than even a good credit score can handle, by doing it all before the credit lines post to your credit report.It's not illegal but it's in the same ballpark as selling a HAT on eBay for 2,500 and as a free bonus giving a Super Bowl ticket with it.Or selling a car for $1 and $5,000 for Delivery.
