What the hell does that mean? How can a bank "hold" deposits in a corporate account for any reason? It's not their money. The money belongs to the account holder and a bank, absent some court order, has no legal process that I'm aware of to seize funds in any account. And why would a bank want to "review" deposits? To what end? Doesn't make sense. As well, all banks have one objective: make money. They don't pursue political objectives - why would they? Lastly, Bank of America is one of the largest banks in the country and some "manager in the right department" of a local branch would hardly be voicing some corporate political objective. Bullshit.

These days I'm struggling with who and what to believe. It seems that our so called "legitimate" sources of news only tell us what they want us to know. There's lots of stuff that they cover which seems like a political agenda to me but plenty of things that they don't cover. I just want to hear the truth, good or bad.

Dont get me wrong, the large media outlets do have a political agenda and Fox News and MSNBC are the worst. You're right of course that most large media, print and broadcast, have a political bias but you're also correct that they understand their credibility is essential to their survival, particularly in the digital world we're in where any asshole can pretend to be a publisher or journalist and the more sensational their crap, the more page views they get and the more they make off advertising. The "credible" media will skew the news left or right depending on their bias, but at base, they don't usually fuck with the facts of a story, particularly one that's being well-covered. BurnnBright makes a good point: who do you believe? A good approach is to believe no one - take nothing at face value. If you wish to be well informed, and get as close to the "truth" of something as you can, you need to read multiple sources covering the same story. But take those sources from the major news outlets: the big newspapers, and Fox, CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC, etc.. - the more credible news agencies. Also include in your diet the foreign press (try bbc.co.uk and afp.com) which offer insight you don't get in America.

Why ANYONE would do business with one of these giant, money grubbing, greedy, bailed out banks is beyond me. Gov should have let them fail when they had the chance but that is issue for another thread. My locale FCU's do a fine job looking out for MY best interests, keeping my interest rates down, fees are non-existent and rewards programs the big guys only wish they could pull off. Yes Banks can "hold" your funds for whatever reason they want to come up with. You will like it because you can't do anything about it. When a company issues a refund to a credit card the money is at the bank WITHIN 3 business days but the bank can "hold" that money for up to 20 days before they give it back. In the mean time they draw interest on that money making huge profits on your convenient "no-interest loan" to them. Kind of sick but it is fact. My NON-PROFIT credit union gets my money back the next day. When our economy falls and everyone wants cash out of the banks see how fast the doors will lock "holding" your money.

Rode it for a few weeks, then put an ad in the SA Express and sold it. Dude paid me with a BOA cashiers check. I traipsed on down to the local BOA on Culebra Rd and tried to get them to transfer the money to my account in Illinois. No sir, no can do. You don't have an account, and we can't do a thing. Called the BOA help desk, and they said sure, no problem, just take the cashiers check to a local BOA facility and have them contact your bank for the BIC code. Stopped at the BOA on Tezel Rd, and ......same crap. "You don't have an account." "No ma'am, and it's quite likely I never will, if this is the way you handle business." Haven't dealt with them since, and I'm quite happy with that arrangement. Pharticus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
