Bank Of America Raids Safety Deposit Box And Removes Customer Contents
Bank of America drills open customer safe deposit box and removes contents.
DANVILLE, CA (CBS 5) Carried the story and stated that many consumers often use store valuable possessions in safe deposit boxes assuming it’s secure, but a Danville, California couple found that’s not always the case.
CBS Channel 5 on San Francisco reported that Unsa Kamal and her husband Aizad received a letter from Bank of America informing them their box had been drilled opened and emptied. The Kamals said they thought it was junk mail; however, after carefully reviewing the letter, the Kamals said the bank “in fact emptied their safe deposit due to lack of information.”
“They claim they didn’t have Social Security numbers, which is not true,” Aizad Kamal said. When they open the account that’s something very basic they ask for and they have that.” [Read the full story on CBS 5.]
Foreclosure victim know just how invasive these banksters can be. Is it even a wonder that they would break into your safe deposit box when we know they trespass on your property and break into your home?
Amazing that the bank had their mailing address, certainly a phone call or letter BEFORE Bank of America raided the safe deposit box would have been more appropriate.
Apparently, these bank boxes can’t be called “safe” anymore.
If it were me, I would have gone to get my items and had BoA pay for the ticket.
Its like the old adage says: “If you do not PERSONALLY and PHYSICALLY possess it then it’s not yours”.
Sounds to me more like that it was opened because of their names. Reminiscent of the reds under the bed McCarthy era.
I would never deal with the Bank of “America”. I’m surprised they are still in business!
The more I read, the more I am happy that I switched to a local credit union.
Very Smart of you. I’m looking to do the same.
When (and if) they finally get their jewelry back, they’d best take it straightaway and have it appraised. You can’t trust anyone these days, and someone along the line might have pulled a swap-aroo.
Change Banks! NO! Join a CREDIT UNION! You own part of IT!
