Bank of America deserve every ounce of shit they get for being such a horrible and crooked company.
I had to deal with these pricks briefly when they took over Countrywide.

F'em and everything about them.

I hate banks, most of them are just some rich bastards playing around with people's life

Publicly traded companies don't put the customer first. Capitalism says that what's best for the customer is best for the investor, but that's not how it works in practice. Publicly traded companies will do anything it takes to have a profitable next quarter, and won't think a single stage beyond that. They'd whore out their mothers if it made share prices go up in the short term. Buy local, and barring that, buy from privately held companies. They're invested in their name, and treat it as their most important asset, as they should.

I dealt with bank of america for like 2 months, but after several charges to my account I switched to a credit union. BEST MOVE EVER.

Pretty good video here about the "personhood" of corporations and why it doesn't work....... Keep in mind this video was produced in 2004 well before the "Great Recession". You may wonder if this was produced in 2004 and then what transpired in 07-08 what the hell might happen next... http://www.hulu.com/watch/118169/the-corporation

I agree the Citizens United ruling (aka Corporate personhood, PAC money etc) should be repealed, but I think the supreme court had a legitimate argument for why corporations are "people". Essentially the corporation has to be a person in order to be sued and defend themselves in court or something along those lines, something about how they have to be considered a "person" in order to defend themselves against certain legal issues, and that because they were legally "persons" due to this, that their rights to speech could not be infringed. Something along those lines. Essentially they are persons for some different reason, but due to that they also have protected speech, and the supreme court has ruled that money is equal to speech because it takes money in order to deliver your message to people in todays world. Something about the constitution refering to "speech" in a sense that it's not just verbal, but a word meant to encompas the act of speaking out on your behalf. hence lots of things fall under protected speech under the first ammendment, one of them being the ability to use money in order to voice your opinion.

I will have to find the write up, but it was actually a decent argument in favor of personhood if I recall.

I hate bank of America with a passion. I was a member there from when Iw as like 17 until a year or so ago. Switched to USAA, a million times better and will never go back.

Agreed USAA is great. My mortgage is stuck with BOA but everything else is USAA

Yea I got a mortgage in October through BOA because my old buddy is a senior loan officer there after they bought out Countrywide. Aside from the endless onslaught of absurdities during the loan process, I have no complaints. YET. During the loan process I spent a slow day at work reading a message board for mortgage enthusiasts (?) and there were literally 100's and 100's of pages in the BOA subforum detailing myriad complaints. So basically I have heard they suck balls, but signed away decades of income to them anyway. Good move Roo. At least my buddy got me 3.25%.

Sweet! I bought at the top of the bubble, when 6% was good lol, oh well, underwater but still making payments, eventually it will be paid off.
