TODAY..I HATE BANK OF FUCKING AMERICA
Just went to fill up on gas so I didn't have to do it in the morning. The story goes like this.Pre-pay, stick card in, and get this message.
CARD IS EXPIRED-PLEASE BRING YOUR CASH INSIDE RIGHT FUCKING NOW OR WE WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.
Fuck, why me? Call Bank of America, the conversation goes something like this.
me: Yes, I just went to use my checkcard at the gas pump and it is expired. I never received a new card in the mail.
chick: I need your social security number, address & dob in order to verify you are the cardholder on this account.
me: nicely give her info.
chick: hold please...
me: da dee da..da da dee da...
chick: maam, it is taking a long time to pull up your information..hold please.
me: sure, no problem
chick: okay could you give me the last 4 digits of the number on the card please..
me: give her the numbers she requested..yes, it really is me..
chick: and you say it is expired?
me: yes, that is what I said
chick: well our system shows that it expires 9-2007.
me: well my card that I have in my hand says it expired 9-2005.
chick: oh really? well that is weird. let me go on and order you another one then.
me: how long will that take to get here?
chick: oh well, it should be there by OCTOBER 12th.
(my husband and I do not share a bank acct nor do we have access to one anothers acct, so it is all me here mmmkay.)
me: so how am I suppose to get money in the meantime? I am sure I might need gas again before the 12th of October.
chick: well, you can try to use the card you have but it probably won't work so you will need to go to the bank and get what we call a temporary card until your new one comes in.
I have no cash, I never carry cash. Check card only. I guess you know where I will be at 8 oclock in the morning. At the fucking Bank of America.

I'd be wondering where the first "new" card they sent went.

Holy shit! My card was canceled without my knowledge because someplace I used it had a security problem. I had moved within the last 30 days so they decided not to mail a card for weeks. I finally went in & then they ordered it for me. The whole thing took like 3 weeks...I was pissed.
Fortunately, Angie & I hve the same money so I could use her card.
Banks SUCK!

Why on earth would the customer service person tell you that you can try to use the card but it probably won't work?! Of COURSE it's not going to work. It's just going to be a pain in your ass if you try to use it. What a moron.

That totally sucks ASS!!
At our old bank in M-boro "Bank of Rutherford county" we always had probs. We treied to use the card at our ATM and it took it and said it was stolen! WTF?!-

That was the best part about working a job for tips, always having cash at the end of every work day.
Now I always have to use my debit card and I hate it. Im so used to cash, and I dont like going to ATM's. I always feel like someone is going to jump out and rob me. I know its silly but, meh, Im paranoid.
Banks suuuck. I keep all my money in my boobs.
(ok not true, but it would be funny at the grocery store to have to dig around to pay the bill)-
Elizabeth commented at 8:56 AM~
Oh dear god. If that ever happens to me, I am so fucked. I NEVER have money.

Pissy talks a big talk, but she is the most polite, cordial person EVER.
She probably went in there all nice with manners and shit.-

Dont get me started on Bank of Fucking America either. Bastards and morons. I called because they closed my credit card due to BANKRUPTCY...um no wrong they made an error on the account, umm back in August still not resolved. Frickin nightmare. Supposed to receive letter explaining it was an error and they corrected yeah frickin right!
Good luck with those morons!-

Oh yeah, BofA is on my shit list right now. They put a HOLD on my freaking deposit and every bill bounced. My rent check got returned and I have accrued to date, $65 in late charges as they will charge for every day until I give them a cashiers check... but the hold won't be lifted until the 11th!!!! It's MY freaking money!

I used BofA in California. I liked how their debit/check cards had your picture on them for security... I switched to Wells Fargo when I moved to Oregon and it's pretty fair to say that all banks suck to some level- but by putting America in the company name- I think you are doomed for failure note: America online... need I say more?
