        <![CDATA[<p>A Chrysler/Dodge dealership here in San Antonio is literally offering that if you buy a 2009 Dodge Ram, they'll offer a PT Cruiser, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Compass, or Dodge Caliber for free.<br />
<a href="http://www.missionchryslerjeep.com/pdfs/mission.pdf" rel="nofollow">[www.missionchryslerjeep.com]</a><br />
Trick being that of course, you still pay TT&amp;L on both, and a Ram is around $35000 base and those are all $14500 vehicle.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Bank of America is far worse, of course some of it apparently isn't their fault as I've seen reports that forced them into buying bad banks that give them the 35% market share they have.  Sure if you don't like them just don't do business with them, but with the way banking is setup it's the biggest hassle ever.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Bank of America.  They just sent me the changes they made to my credit card agreement without consulting me about it.  Included are several fee hikes and the expansion of their definition of a foreign transaction: it now includes some transactions in US dollars.  

<p>When I called CSR to ask about the changes to the definition of "foreign transactions", they tell me that it has always been that way despite me reading to them the different definition from the original agreement.  They then tell me that it is this way with all of their credit cards.  </p>

<p>When I ask to speak to a supervisor, since they did not seem to understand me, the CSR tells me that the manager is in a meeting.  Then, the CSR offers me another credit card with the same undesirable new definition of "foreign transactions."</p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>BofA failed to send me my bill, moved my due date forward, locked me out of the online bill pay and slapped me with fee increases, higher interest rates for being "late", and then refused to let me speak with a manager or tell me their full names or employee numbers (which they claim not to have so you're stuck talking to "trixie" or "champagne" like you're in some kind of strip club all of the sudden). 

<p>Of course, in their "system" they have proof that they sent my bill, except --- they didn't and it's all my fault. I pay. This after they took my childrens' and grandchildrens' taxes. </p>

<p>Please, please, please, people! Stop using banks. Lend to each other. Draft up a contract, agree on a set interest rate, get their ss#, and cut out the greedy middle men. This is what I call American Independence. Help each other and stop feeding the greedy corporate "people". You'll probably do better than you've been doing on the stock market and you won't heave to deal with random due date and rate changes, arbitrary and exorbitant late fees and other unethical behavior. </p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>BofA was going to force me to change all of my account numbers because they decided after picking up Countrywide that they should consolidate all of their systems, and that included those of us who bank with their Military Bank.</p>
<p>I figured that if I was going to deal with that headache I might as well switch banks, so I jumped ship to USAA.</p>
<p>Then to top it off, when tax time came around, they didn't send me a 1099 form for some savings bonds I had cashed...because their teller keyed them in wrong and no one noticed for <b>six months</b> until I started raising hell with them that I was missing my 1099.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Right now chryslers failure to get momentum is the UAW being too greedy and stopping Fiat from coming in to the states. Which meant continued jobs and more cars for chrysler without having to do the development work. They could have made it out of this mess, but the UAW would rather not get a paycheck then take a pay cut.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A buddy of mine has the "Keep the change" service on his BoA account. He overdrew once, and the Keep the Change kept $0.00, and then hit him with an overdraft fee for the $0.00. So, a major bank is charging its customers overdrafts for their own money, especially when it's $no dollars and no cents. Brilliant.</p>]]>
