Ask Molly Katchpole and what she is doing to help change what Bank of America has done.
Many people sit at home shaking their heads about the state of the economy. They know something is wrong and they may even have some thoughts and ideas on how to make a difference yet think, “I am only one person. What can I do to make a difference?” So they just turn up the volume on their TV, hoping to drown out the voice in their mind urging them on to actually make a difference.
Well, apparently Molly Katchpole did listen to her inner voice and she took action. Luckily in this day and age with all of our technology we can, with a bit of effort, reach millions of people and actually make a difference. As of 9:31 PM ET Molly has 234,954 signatures asking the Bank of America, America’s largest bank to cancel their new $5/month debit card fee charge to their customers.
Bank of America is taking notice and most likely they will stop that monthly fee.
Many months ago my bank, Webster Bank started charging a monthly fee to use their online banking service (at least I think that was what the charge was for). I loved their online service and did all of my bill paying online. Well, I do not believe in paying banks to use my money so I told them I was canceling my account and that as soon as I could, I would take out a new mortgage from a different bank.
That is exactly what I did. Apparently enough other customers did not like the new fee either because within a couple of months Webster Bank stopped the newly imposed fee and sought to gain back the customers they lost. I like my new bank and don’t miss them at all.
I do the same with all of my insurances. Every year I search for the best buy in insurance for my home and auto. I have no loyalty to anyone because they do not reciprocate with me. If I have an accident for file a claim, they either cancel me or raise my rates.
Maybe someday big business will begin to think more about providing good value and service instead of just profits. Maybe someday they will realize that greater profits come with grater value and service.
