>>>>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!

>>>BoA is well known for being idiotic. Why didn't you close your accounts?

>>Well - it's very difficult for me to open bank accounts. I have a twin sister named Victoria - we have the same last name, obviously the same birthday, and our SS #'s are one digit apart - so every time I try to run a credit report or open an account it's a HUGE hassle because I come up as a "97.8% match" as another person. I always have to mail letters and blah blah blah. Plus I've been audited every year by the IRS for the past 28 years in a row. Being a twin is kinda cool - but geeze if you have any don't give them cute almost identical names! Anyway I've started the process of opening an account on the island here and as soon as they get an actual credit report I'll do that.
