I was once a customer of Bank of America but got mired in poor customer service when they held onto my direct deposit, did not release it in time and I had bills that bounced. Oh, sure they said it was MY FAULT, but I had to get HR at my job involved along with ADP which proved it was not their fault. In the end, Bank of America had to fix my account, put everything retroactive, remove all fees, pay any fees attached to my accounts, etc., but it left a horrible taste in my mouth.

After this incident, I switched to a credit union.

Folks, now it is time for all of America to switch to a credit union and send a message to these banks that it is over for them to gouge the consumer. Results come in massive NUMBERS and that starts with you CLOSING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. If Bank of America is allowed to get away with this, all banks will follow their lead. Time to make your statement, NOW.

Below is a list of credit unions in the United States. Each link represents one of the 50 states. Take a look, it is easy to join a credit union. Most criteria for joining is that you need to live or work nearby; live or work in the county; or just be a state, local, federal employee; if you have a family member who is a member of a credit union, then you can join; and some credit unions do not have qualifications to join, just have the proper credentials and you can join. Lastly, most credit unions allow you to process your application on line. So, take a look and think it over, but whatever you do, JOIN and cut the banks loose for good.

p.s. Credit Unions are covered by the National Credit Union Administration, like FDIC cover banks for 250K deposits, so do credit unions
