Breaking up

Today, February 4, is the day I have longed for. After 11 years, four states, five jobs and several letters and cards, I’m ending my relationship with Wachovia. In the years, the bank that was founded on Moravian roots has accidentally given me $100 of someone else’s money, charged me $220 in unjustified overdraft fees, send checks to two states before they came my way, sold two of my accounts to two separate banks, gave thieves a free college checking account and platinum credit card in my name, and now lie about what my savings account requirements were and then charge me an extra fee on top of it.

When I called customer service about the fee, they said that it was all my fault. I told them that another agent told me about a different set of requirements, but they didn’t believe me. So I closed the account. They asked me if the reason was that I couldn’t keep up with requirements, and I said it was because someone lied about my account and now I’m charged for that lie. I proceeded to tell them off and will close my checking account later this week.

Too bad they can’t use my bank fees for gambling in Vegas or can they?

That sucks balls. I’ve had the same account with BofA for 10 years and cashed the same checks from the same company for 7 years and all of a sudden they’ve started to hold my checks for a week and nobody can tell me why. So I’m closing that and moving to Wachovia – GULP!
