If I was B of A, I would make it VERY public, that these fees are in response to the Dodd-Frank bill. The fees will stand as long as that bill is in place - or - debit card services may end.
The best course of action to remove the fees would be to compel Congress to repeal Dodd-Frank.
First of all those fees are in response to BOA figuring that if they impose them their profit will go up. If they made it VERY public that they're because of the Dodd Frank bill then if that was ever repealed they'd have to end the fees or look like damn fools and they ain't gonna want to end those fees if their profit is higher
Also known as Dick Durbin's 'Payday Lender Empowerment Act' in some circles, this boneheaded bill is 100% to blame for this, and nobody else.
