So, here I am in New York. I have a check in my pocket that I decided to deposit. I go to a Chase, considering they now own Wamu.
I walk in and say that I am a new customer as I am a Wamu customer and I need to deposit a check.
She tells me I CAN'T do it.
I asked her...well, this bank ATE my bank. Why not?
She did not have an answer.
I walked out, saying on the way, that is FUCKED UP. Your bank EATS my bank..yet I cannot deposit a check???
What's next? Are they going to just 'decide' to close all Wamu accounts...keeping the money?
It rather bothers me, we fly home tomorrow. After I get home I do believe I am going to go have to ask a couple questions.
Are we now second class citizens? We were Wamu but we can't access the banking system that bought our bank.
From what I read, 'Wamu is now part of Chase' in one spot (when I log into my account online) and in another it states 'still bringing you everything you love about your bank'.
If that is true, then why can I not deposit a check? I was told 'You can make withdrawals at the ATM'. Um, DUH. I can make an ATM withdrawal out of ANY ATM. How is that special?
Whatever, I mean, not like we didn't make sure to have money in the accounts beffore we flew out, it was just convenience I was looking for. A bit of service by the bank that sucked the blood out of a bank I love(d). Brutally murdered that bank I love(d).
I was willing to give them a chance, I mean, they are not going anywhere. As long as they keep getting banks handed to them.
I never cared for Wells Fargo, but I may have to make the switch. At least they didn't make the home loan mistake. Take a look at their stock, they are good and up there due to that so there is no reason for our Government to hand them off to anyone else for shits and giggles.
Now I think back...I seem to remember an interesting thing that happened...it wasn't long before they tanked (Wamu) that Chase made a bid on them and they (Wamu) declined it.
Funny how that goes, make a bid, get denied. Get handed the same bank you wanted to buy (and for SO FUCKING MUCH MORE) handed to you on a Government Sanctioned Silver Platter.
Chase? I was gonna give you a chance but I think we are done. It's me, really. I thought we could work it out and make a go of it. But we are just not communicating properly. I think you could do better and find other people WHO BELIEVE YOUR LINE OF SHIT.
Time for us to move on and no, I don't think we can be friends.
