This is exactly what BofA did to my parents in late 2009 after being loyal, debt free customers with plenty of money always in their accounts, etc. They sent my parents a letter giving them a month to get all their money out and find a new bank. This was after my parents banked with them since 1974. They offered no explanation and claimed they held the right not to give any reason. F**k BofA and the horse they rode in on.

That's the last straw for me... BofA has been pulling a lot of below- the- belt punches lately. To know that they are going to send somebody packing over a liberal/ politically correct fallacy is enough for to "pull the trigger;" I will close my account on Monday.

What a load of BS! BofA sucks. I hope McMillen sues them.

Oh I am. I posted this on my FB and on other forums I am a member of to get it out there. I've very pro-gun and pro-second amendment but even if I wasn't I still would be doing this. What BoA did is wrong and people need to be aware.

Actually, the reason they did this is right in your post. You said your parents were debt free customers with plenty of money in their accounts. Like any other shady financial company, like the credit card companies, for example, they don't want customers with money in their accounts. They want people in debt up to their eyeballs who get into financial trouble so BOA can charge large interest rates, fees, and penalties that people in trouble will find very difficult to get out from under. These types of institutions don't see responsible, debt free people with money in their accounts as a big enough revenue stream to be worth their time. The sad fact is, the way BOA is set up, an overdrawn account is much more valuable to them than one with money. They learned nothing in 2008-2009.

By what definition would this be discrimination? I am pro-second amendment, though not as incredibly one-sided as many, but don't you think it would be beneficial to get BofA's side of the story from a source that isn't as obviously bias? Sounds like there may be more to the story.

Unless they recorded the phone call, which if the other party didnt know about could be evidence that is thrown out, they will get away with this clean and scott free. Say hello to big corporations and a crap ton of lawyers that the gun company can not afford. |

No, they took their business to one of our local banks and spoke with the CEO himself about their situation. This bank has been good so far. The payroll is done through this bank now however there were more BofA branches for the employees to cash their checks anywhere in the country. The local bank doesn't have any branches outside my parent's county so the employees have to pay a fee to cash their checks unless they open an account with the bank they want to cash the checks in. It's still sucks but my parents have gotten by just fine and their fruit harvesting company is still running strong. I work for them in the summer during harvest btw.
