Wow. This is complete BS. I liked the audio clip...that was a nice touch.

Best of luck to you. These SOBs really do deserve to be taken down a notch.

I apologize for the lack of updates the last few weeks. I've been extremely busy with trying to mitigate the damage from Bank of America's actions and, of course, the holidays. Here is a recap of what's happened since my last post:

I spoke with an attorney last week. He recommened I wait until I receive my money back, then pursue my case in small claims court. He said the amount he could potentially recover probably wouldn't be worth the financial and time costs incurred. The attorney did, however, advise me to contact him again if I did not receive my money within a few weeks.

I filed formal complaints with the OCC, FDIC, State Attorney General, and Bank of America executive office. All 3 government agencies currently are conducting investigations and should get back to me within 60 days. Bank of America's executive office has yet to respond to my complaint.

On 11/26/07, I finally received my money! As I was expecting, Bank of America deducted the nearly $1,000 in fees from my cashiers checks. The biggest part of my problem has been resolved, so now it's on to recovering my costs and repairing my good name.

I'm heading down to small claims court this afternoon to file my case. I don't have the time to read the entire thread this afternoon, so sorry if I missed any questions.

BoA may have a second thought now that Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-MaktoumSheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum (Dubai's ruler) bailed out Citi. Muslims now control almost 10% of one of the largest banks in the world.

Hmm, "gives a sense of place and being" is 8 syllables not 7...

support Theficus.

Keep us updated. Because you have a flag in Chex system, can you open any bank account now?

OP: What were the $1,000 in "fees" which Bank of America deducted from the disbursement?

They're complete pricks when it comes to serving notice, too.
My local branches wouldn't sign for certified mail.

You can hire your own friendly "service processor" for $100* (*before a $75 mail-in rebate) and slap it in a branch manager's face.

$1000 in fees!

Plus, they must have collected some interest holding your money for so long.

Easy money for BOA!

Same here. After their "research fees" etc. I'm over $800.00 close to 9 we'll see in 2 days when I get my cashiers check how much they raped me for. To hell with small claims. I'm getting them for every penny my attorney can squeeze out of the bastards. Today I called to find out where my check was they promised I would have by the 23rd and this time I recorded the call. Its legal to record the entire call regardless if several people pick up the line as long as the initial person agrees to be recorded which he did. The risk dept was recorded hanging up on me again right after saying "well I have news for you and your attorney...you're both stupid. We're a bank and if we decide to hold your money for a year we can do so. You attempt to scam the bank for money and think its wrong that your account is closed how stupid are you? Have a good day...click"

Now, I cant really argue with her calling me stupid. Its not the first time and besides I did have every penny I had in the one bank. BofA no less so she may have a point but I have a feeling I'll have the last laugh once the fit hits the shan if I'm successful in pissing enough people off which I seem to be able to do pretty well. I have already sent my complaints to the Virginia State Attorney General, California and the OCC. I'm waiting to get my check and then the execs at BofA and off to either state or federal court.
