If you have a bank account with BOA AND a credit card with them.....make sure you aren't behind on your CC payment. They will clean out your bank account for the amount you owe to the their BOA credit card. (just ask my mom about this!)

When you sign up for an account you give them permission to do it. Thats why its important to read the fine print.

Excellent point. Remember, this is not limited to BOA, this is every bank or cu that supplies a credit card or loan. It's called the right of setoff and it applies to any deposit account you have with the same bank or credit union where you have your credit cards and loans.

If you fall behind on any payments the bank can take the entire balance you have in your savings and checking accounts (CD's or anyother type of deposit account) and apply it to pay off the debt. The bank does NOT have to bring you to court to do this 'right of setoff' as you agree to it the minute you open a deposit account with the same place you have your loan or credit card.

This is never an issue if you are current with your cc pmts. So, congratulations on your new credit card! Use it wisely xangelx
