Agreed, if BoA or Wachovia started charging me new fees, I would be pretty P.O.'ed over that. That's definitely grounds to find a new bank..
On a related note, an auditor friend of mine was commenting on how the small/midsize banks in this area were doing fine. They are sitting on millions in cash, and don't have any "toxic" assets. They just weren't lending because inter-bank rates were too high. Just hearsay..
