Willingly making a doctor appointment today for the second time in my life (first time was for sleep apnea). I have ALL the symptoms of a DVT in my left calf, but also have a similar much smaller painful mass in my right calf, so who knows what it is. Could be anything from DVT [...]

Well here is the latest BOFA fail. I was told (by BOFA) that since I lost my job I could qualify for a mortgage adjustment, rate adjustment, or at minimum a refinance. So I call them up, and explain my situation, that I lost my job on October 30, and am doing some hourly contract [...]

Well BOFA has failed yet again. They have a history of screwing me over (just do a search in the upper right for “BOFA” for examples), so I don’t know why I am even surprised yet again. So I get a letter from the “Customer Satisfaction Department”. At first I am thinking, oh wow, maybe [...]

Every year around this time I get slapped with an annual fee on my “Visa Platinum Plus” card, whose main feature is no annual fees.

I had the most rediculous experience at Burger King that I have had in awhile. This post is not only to share my experience, but to ask the question, What benefit is it to employers to hire people who cannot understand or speak english? So I pull up to the drive-through, and I say, I [...]

My new phone has been working great…until today, when I was greeted with the message “No access to network” on my display. I’ve tried everything I could from verifying the network settings, to installing a firmware update. The same symptoms persist. If I reboot the phone, everything works fine for about 2 minutes. I can [...]

BOFA replied to my email inquiring about why they insist on trying to charge me an annual fee on my card that features “no annual fee”. Here is their reply: The annual membership fee assessed for this Bank of America card allows us to offer the extended benefits offered by this type of account. We [...]

Every year BOFA tries to charge me an annual fee on my credit card that has no annual fee. I’m so tired of this bullshit. The exact same thing is happening AGAIN. Here is last year’s version: http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=480 http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=481 Looking back at my last followup post, I realize I never posted followup #2. Basically they [...]
