   WC>Bank of America just tagged me on a new $3.00 fee for an "image charge."   
      
      
   I used Bank of America a long time ago. They were very strict about checking   
   accounts. When they recieved my checks to be processed and honored, they would   
   look at the date on the check and compare that with my account *on that date*.   
      
      
   Never mind that, when they recieved the check to honor it, my account had more   
   than sufficient funds to cover it....but what the account had in it on the   
   *date* at the top of the check. And if the funds weren't there to cover it on   
   *that* date.....they'd bounce it back to the person it was written to!   
      
      
   I'd sit down and write my monthly checks the night before payday, put that   
   day's date on the checks, and drop them in the mail the next day *after* I had   
   deposited my paycheck. They'd bounce the whole lot of them!   
      
      
   When I went in and talked to a manager about it and found out what they were   
   doing, I went right over to a teller, deposited the exact amount that would   
   give me an even amount in twenty dollar increments in the account, went out   
   the door to their ATM, withdrew all my money and have never done business with   
   them again.   
      
      
   For months afterward they sent me a statement of charge for *closing* the   
   account!   
      
      
   They have many subtle little ways of *mining* money out of people. Someone in   
   your circumstance should not be using Bank of America. Find yourself a   
   different bank.
