Bank of America is robbing me $8.50 for account maintenance fees!?

I have a primary checking account above $1500 and a secondary checking account worth less than a $100. Why should they charge $8.50 for my secondary checking account?! they say its below their limit of $1500! wtf! I have my accounts for a more than a year and just now they started doing so? Why are they robbing ordinary citizens like me?! I am planning of taking all of my money and placing it in another bank! Who else did experience such?!|||My ex-boyfriend had a similar experience. The fees overdrew his account, so then they charged more fees. Switch banks. Bank of America is good for big businesses to bank with, but bad for individuals.|||Go to a Credit Union that offers free online bill pay. You will not get a montly service fee. By the way BofA is the worse bank of all they will steal from you in the off chance that you won't catch it.

It's just the type of checking account you have - go to your bank and explain you don't want any more fees charged, they'll switch your secondary checking to Free Checking.





The kind you have accrues interest on your balance - but yes, it has a penalty if your balance falls below a certain amount.|||Change the type of account you have, move your money to another bank, or just close the account. Not too much you can do here.|||it's probably a $1500 minimum PER account
