How about Bank of America's plan to charge customers 5 bucks a month for having a debit card? Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan: says they have ‘a right to make a profit’. Of course last year I think their profits exceeded 3 billion dollars and they're also cutting 30,000 jobs. This is simply a way of screwing the customers who have the least money. I called them and said if they start doing that I will close my accounts. The response I got was "oh ..this won't effect you sir, so you should not care". I was tempted to close my accounts right then but I will wait until the new fee's on the poorest customers happens. What a bunch of creeps!
