You wouldn't get much - they were being foreclosed on!!!
(Okay, I know you would, I just thought it was funny)
ours too and I was none to happy about itWannabefree said:Our mortgage got sold out to BOA last year...I am waiting for disaster to strike.
Actually I believe that after a period of inactivity, the bank can close the account, but the funds are sent to the state's esheats account. You should check with the State of California's State Controller's office. Most states have millions of dollars in unclaimed funds from banks, income tax, safe deposit boxes, etc. Apparently CA has a little more than that...$6.1 billion in unclaimed property.Icu4dzs said:I will NEVER do business with BOA ever again in my life.
When I was a younger man with the Marines in SoCal, I had a savings account with BOA. I put money into it regularly from what little I got left out of my enlisted man's meager paycheck.
When it came time for me to be discharged from the Navy (I was in SoCal for nearly 3 years, I forgot to close my savings account. I had about $200 in it. Time marched on and I ended up back in the Navy, this time as an officer back in SoCal. I went to BOA and asked to close my account and withdraw my savings. They told me that THEY had closed my account because it had been "inactive" for some time and they KEPT my money. I asked for it to be returned and they refused. I spoke to the BBB in SoCal and they took the information but had no reason to help me. I made several other calls and there was just no one who would tackle BOA.
Yes, I lost my money, but they lost my business and my good will. If I am ever asked about BOA my answer is always, "Why lend money to a thief?"
