Bank of America’s new fee

Bank of America just can't help itself. The nation's largest bank just announced that it will force customers to start paying a new fee of $5 every month -- just to use a debit card. This is the same bank that nearly tanked our economy with their reckless behavior, took $45 billion in taxpayer money, has kicked tens of thousands of families out of their homes, and has been repeatedly criticized for gouging consumers.  It's just one fee too many for Bank of America customer and Change.org member Molly Katchpole. "I can barely afford to make ends meet," said Molly, who works two part-time jobs in Washington, DC. "Now I'm expected to hand over money to Bank of America each month just for using my own debit card?" Molly started a petition on Change.org demanding that Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan cancel the bank's new $5 monthly debit card fee. Sign her petition now to stop Bank of America's new fees. Even if you're not a Bank of America customer, this should matter to you. This campaign will show other banks who are planning to follow suit that the public won't stand for Wall Street's newest way to take money from its customers -- and that they will take their money somewhere else.  Bank of America's announcement this week about its new $5 debit card fee was no coincidence. On Saturday, new federal laws go into effect that stopped the bank from charging other fees that were deemed unfair. So in order to keep up their record profits, Bank of America's solution was to invent a new, unregulated fee to stick on its customers.  There's still time to stop this new fee: Please sign Molly's petition on Change.org to pressure Bank of America to cancel its new fee, and stop other banks from thinking about creating their own debit card fees.

This is simply ludicrous. I just made a pact with them last month of not using a human teller anymore. What's next?  Last edited: 04-Oct-11 10:48 AM

Thank you fusre bro for your post. (I already knew about this news.) If anyone is public number #1 in this world, then it's the Elite International Banking Cartels. They are our real enemies not Obama, Bush, Cameron, Merkel, Sarkozy, Berlusconi, Ban Ki Moon et all for they are just the puppets that dances to the tune of Global Elites. These bankers will suck every drop of our bloods. They are Satanists, Luciferians. "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

 yes fusre i read this new law will take effect in the beginning of 2012 though some banks have already started charging those kinda fees..though the charge is only for purchases and not for using ATM's either way banks come up with new ideas of ripping people ever since Obama inacted the $35 overdraft protection law for consumers..i got caught in that trap couple of times before...but i'm glad the overdraft protection law will save a lot of money cos i know that overdraft law cost banks millions of revenue so they invent new trickery to rip people off..f*kn jerks
