It is a VERY good thing that Mr. Lewis is retiring as HE only cares about himself. HE does not help those who have accounts at BOA. I had several issues with my account and when I could not get the issues solved by another employee at BOA I tried to contact him but he is never available. HE ignores us who have accounts at BOA. HE does not deserve his salary for the past 5 years. A Happy Good-bye!

B of A is making people JUMP thru hoops to get home loans.
My sister wanted to buy and investment property, for cash.
B of A had attached 47 pages of stipulations to the sale.
My sister walked away from the deal.

Screw B of A, they don't want to sell properties!

I have been involved with two home loans with BOA in the last six months. They appear to try to find a reason to reject a loan even with perfect credit.
The problem is BOA is TOO BIG.
No one wants to make a decision and their decision makers are in different states.
I submitted over 200 pieces of paperwork on one application,
(with a credit score 0f 793) and they kept asking for more and more paperwork.
They finally grudgingly approved the loan after two month after I had bought the house and paid cash.

you could see the writing on the wall. why would the CEO resign or get fired in the middle of all this turbulance? that would only add more. wait and see there will be some criminal charges bought there. I cant see why else they would get rid of a long term CEO if there wasnt any hidden mess there

Where's the sheriff??? We've been hoodwinked and robbed!!! Tired of seeing these gangster con artists thinking they can just invent schemes to fleece honest hard working Americans out of everything then throw them out of their homes, jobs, and send their kids to Iraqistan so they can prop up the sinking dollar occupying the oil fields and sell the Caspian gas to India. Sure they control the media and installed a police stateto keep the people under control while they steal everything and sell us out but if America is going to survive people have got to wake up! Ron Paul tries and Kennedy tried, but if enough people really wake up we can just say NO! Don't do business with these loan sharks, end "lobbying" in DC, end the "bailout" baloney, vote every graft sucking bum out of DC and don't buy the main news media. Barter as much as you can, buy gold, silver, use credit unions, garden, stockpile food, supplies, and yes guns and ammo and having a good dog around makes for sane company too. We're now in a Great depression and everything these crooks say is a flat out lie.

I'm just awed why CEOs earn their profits too, especially after earning billions in salaries. Why do corporations overpay them in the first place? Poor dollar managements. We can hire a CEO for free or get one for low pay overseas. Duh?

Although I think that the credit markets certainly reflect an overreaction to the current crisis (which the government has so far failed to address), I have to ask why at this point, BOA or any other lender would make a loan without having a borrower jump through hoops?

Look how many of their customers borrowed money, spent it and now are not repaying what they borrowed? Why should they extend credit when their recent experience is that they will not collect what they loaned, or that they will not be able to collect late charges if the loan is not repaid according to the terms that the borrower agreed to?

Doesn't anyone wonder whether maybe the American consumer should bear some blame for the current problems? Is any politician willing to take a break from bank-bashing to suggest that the government bears some
blame for wholeheartedly encouraging the extension of credit to marginal credit risks? Has "they should never have lent me the money" begun to bother anyone?

These recent BOA results show BOA struggling with what are the burdens of what I think are subsidies that it is now forced to bear: they pay billions of dollars annually to the government in preferred dividends for the TARP funds (they had no choice but to accept these terms); and have had to "write off" tens of billions of dollars that they extended to the American citizens that was spent, enjoyed and
which, much to the delight of the government, kept our economy humming and growing for an extended period of time.

So what - the government lent BOA $45 Billion. If they didn't, by most accounts, we would be in an even worse way than we are now. But at the end of the day, BOA will have rewarded our government and "subsidized" Main Street far in excess of that amount. I'll bet BOA would be pleased to pay back the $45 Billion today knowing that the
government would use that money to directly subsidize the people that owe BOA but are not paying them.

There is a latin idiom, "Divide et Impera", literally translated means Divide and Rule, the tool of wealthy corporatists and elitist politicians.There is a weapon however; "Vox Populi, Vox Dei", translation: The Voice of the People is the Voice of God coupled with "E Pluribus Unum"...out of Many come One. This is the true strength of "We the People" to stay focused for our own self interests and know the truth. I will begin by presenting the basis of all truths and how it relates to the abysmal situation we find our country, our economy and our world in today. I promise you, you will not find this information anywhere in today's diluted, scripted Media outlets be it on TV, Radio or in newspaper print

G. Edward Griffin is a sheer genius! Why pay $100 for a financial seminar to tell you a lie. Wall street is a casino, Banks are the cash cages and you and I are the dummies pulling the handles.....take 42minutes and 15 seconds to educate yourself in a way that even bankers aren't schooled in. Take this viral folks.....send it to 10 people you love enough to wake them up to the truth of how we have been taken in a very large way! It won't cost you dime and if you think this is part of a conspiracy, just look around you and see how what you will watch is exactly what you are seeing taking place in real time.

The only way to stop these banks from ripping consumers off.
Is to stop paying them. Until such time as the American people take a stand, and stop the ongoing extortion tactics of these banks. Nothing will change. The American consumers can stop these practices, much faster then our Government can. We don't pay. The banks/lenders will collapse. Its time we control the banks. As opposed to the banks controlling, threating and dictating the American people.

So much for Dow 10,000. Heads up for commercial real estate, the next monkey under the carpet. Bad commercial loans brought down almost the entire New England banking industry in 1990-92 and looks to be even worse this time around.

I'm not surprised BOA is suffering from bad loans. I became disgusted with them when they made the decision to go out of their way to court illegal aliens. What goes around, comes around. You want to do business with law breakers you can't be too surprised when you get stuck with bad loans.
