Bank Of America – Making News For All Of The Wrong Reasons.
The latest news from Bank Of America is they are no longer going to offer VA cash out refinances to our Veterans.
Has anyone else noticed that Bank Of America seems to be making news for all of the wrong reasons? How about the the news that hasn’t been reported, like the fact that Bank Of America is no longer going to allow our Veterans to utilize the entitlement they’ve earned to get a VA cash out refinance?
Another dirty little secret about Bank Of America is their policy to refuse to process mortgage payoff requests for refinances. If you have a VA Mortgage with Bank Of America and you decide to get a VA cash out refinance or a VA Streamlined Refinance with another lender, Bank Of America will not process your payoff request (which slows down your refi!) for your preferred lender until they speak to you and have a chance to “sell” you on staying with them!
It’s bad enough that we, as tax payers had to bail them out but now that Bank Of America has been saved from failing all the news surrounding them looks like a giant middle finger to the collective public.
Let’s take a look at some of the most recent headlines that Bank Of America has been generating.
1) Forbes -Bank of America Has Reportedly Considered 40,000 Job Cuts
Bank of America (BAC) officials have reportedly considered as many as 40,000 job cuts.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the cuts, which would come mainly from its consumer operations, would be part of its “Project New BAC” overhaul.
The Journal said the cuts would be in addition to the 6,500 the firm has already made this year.

2) The NY Times – Bank Of America to start charging $5.00 per month for using their debit cards.
When Bank of America told its customers recently that it would start charging them $5 a month to use debit cards, it argued that it was forced to make that change because of regulations that altered the economics of the cards.

These headlines would lead one to believe that Bank Of America surely must be on the brink of going under but not according to the next 2.
From The Guardian
-Profit on Wall Street, recession on Main Street
Bank of America Profit Drops 37%
This headline is misleading to say the least.
With overall earnings of $2 billion, or 17 cents a share, the bank still missed analysts’ estimates of 27 cents a share. Bank of America earned $3.2 billion, or 28 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier.
Total revenue dropped, too, to $27 billion from $32 billion, a decline partly attributable to the weak economic recovery. As consumers cling to their cash amid uncertain times, mortgage lending has stalled at Bank of America and other giant lenders. The bank, facing new government regulations, also missed out on millions of dollars in overdraft fees and other charges once levied on consumers.
So Bank Of America’s profits drops 37% yet they still made $2,000,000.00 (yes that’s 2 BILLION dollars) and claim they need to charge you $5.00 per month to spend your money, lay off 40,000.00+ of our friends, family and neighbors on top of eliminating VA cash out refinances.
At what point do we, as Americans and consumers, stand up to these greedy corporate machines?
