Was just thinking about this again. It's funny in retrospect. I was angry at the time, however.
Had a bankruptcy in 2006-07. Went to open a savings account at B of A late last year. Already had savings accounts at Kinecta, Well Fargo, Citibank & Union Bank. I spread my money around so my kids can scoop it up relatively fast & not have to worry about probate or taxes. This kid at B of A is supposed to be helping me. He comes across the bankruptcy & says he can't open the account.
"But I can put you in touch with someone to discuss repayment."
"Repayment of what? A legally dismissed debt? A 10 year old debt? Why would I do that?"
"I'm just telling you what the computer says."
"B of A ever make bad loans?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Did B of A receive taxpayer bailout money?"
"I think so."
"Maybe then I can put you in touch with someone to discuss repayment."
That seemed to fluster the kid a bit.
Now, mind you, we were discussing me putting money IN their bank. I wasn't asking for a loan.
"So you won't take my money unless I repay a legally dismissed debt?"
"It's what the computer says."
I went to another branch & opened the account. Apparently they had removed whatever notation they had in their system. Couldn't get over the audacity though. Discuss repayment?
