BOA-strange...

[Smarter]

I just logged into Mint.com to check on all of my limits/balances as I do every morning and my BOA Worldpoints card no longer says that as  he title--it says Countrywide Home Loan.  I then logged in to my BOA account and it all still looks the same.  Very weird??  Not sure what to make of it--if anything!

I saw something weird on Mint.com this week, too. All of our HSBC cc's are showing up as WFNNB accounts...and I don't have any WFNNB accounts.  I logged into the HSBC accounts online and nothing looked different, no announcements that WFNNB was taking them over or anything funky like that.

what is mint.com, I've never heard of it.

I have both hsbc (Orchard) and wfnnb--those were normal this morning.  I did discover that boa took over Countrywide earlier this year, but I thought they were just mortgages...?  Maybe not.  I hope it is just a glitch with mint.  I guess as long as my card stays as is, it doesn't really matter.  Crazy!

Mint.com has been the best thing that ever happened to me--I don't know how others feel about it--I know there are other sites like it out there. 

It keeps track of all of my cc's, loans, my bank accounts--all in one place.  I get emails to remind me of due dates, it tracks finance charges--you get a big picture of how good (or bad) you are doing. 

You can also create a budget and it will keep track of your expenses in each catagory.  I do have to manually go in and put some expenses into the proper catagories, but it really helps me stay on track.  I have 2 cc's that I can't get to hook into mint--my HSN card and a Pacific Sunwear card--but I rarely use those and PIF immediately if I do.

I looked at the website, but I dunno, the whole idea of entering everything into one site makes me a little uneasy. Do they give any kind of gurantee if stuff is stolen?

not sure if it will help you feel more at ease with this site . But quicken bought it and quicken online works decent. I tried to use mint.com but they were lacking serveral of the accounts i needed. They dont have Alliants credit cards available on the website . If you try to add one it points you towards alliantcredit.com or something like that which is a total different bank.

Also on the OP's question . BOA now handles my mortgage and that actually is the what is says on that part of the website . So maybe mint.com is confusing the two.

That must be the case, Woolfman.  I guess that would make sense if they are one in the same now.  I will just keep an eye on it and see if anything else changes.

As for mint.com and security, I know alot of people on this board were using it back when I signed up--probably about 2 years ago.  I have not read any horror stories thus far....They are supposed to have bank-level security.  I don't know of any guarantees--it is worth taking a chance on it being safe for me.  It just makes my life easier.  Plus, I am so paranoid about checking every account every day, that I would catch any kind of fraud pretty quickly.  I suppose just about anything can be compromised these days, though.

You don't have a mortgage with BoA, do you?  That's the name of their mortgage division, or something.  My mortgage is with Bank of America, and ever since they bought it I've been logging into a Countrywide specific website, but just this past month they changed it to where countrywide home loans are viewable in your regular BoA banking online.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

No mortgage at all--I rent.  No other account with BOA except my Worldpoints card--it was a 99/500 and is now unsecured at 1000.00.  I don't have my checking or savings with BOA.   Very odd....
