Bank Facepalms

With all of the banks in America doing so badly in this recession, you'd think they would try to limit the amount of mistakes they make as to not draw unwanted attention to themselves. Oddly enough, I've come across many stories around the web about banks doing really dumb things.

Just this past Janurary, Citibank sent out around 600,000 envelopes to customers that had their Social Security Numbers printed on the outside of them. They said they were sorry, but tried to make it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal by claiming the SSN wasn't easy to spot because it was part of a larger string of digits.

Bank of America has been trying to one up Citibank by possessing homes that aren't even theirs to begin with. Sure, any company can make an honest mistake, but what should be done when it keeps happening over and over? It seems like BofA has a tendancy to just foreclose random houses. The worst part of this whole thing is that BofA keeps on claiming it isn't their fault when it happens.

I wouldn't doubt it if BofA had their hand in demolishing the wrong house.
