death to chase manhatten bank ... RANT

[On Sale]

Ok so listen to this ****.

Rents due today.
Car payments due today.

Car payments are automatic withdraw from my checking account.

Rent = $250 a month.
Car Payment = $389 a month (yes i have horrible credit i know)


Sooo, i was kind enough to tell chase, over the phone, to take out (2) months worth of payments. totaling $778 dollars. I was trying to stay on top of things.

Well, rents due today. I go to WaWa and get an account balance. Lucky me! I have -$584.

How may you ask? Did i become broke, and lose a ton of money.

**** i was asking the same question. So next was a trip to commerce bank. My lovely bank that i hate.

So i walk in, and go to a desk. I tell the lady i should have about $500 in the bank. She tells me im negative $584 dollars. Seems Chas Manhatten was so kind as to take 4 payments out. A few bucks short of $1,600 dollars.

So now im negative. Rents due. The money wont be back into my account until tomarrow, if i dont pay my rent by 5pm today i get a huge fine. %20 of the total rent, my room mate is super pissed. I have no gas, no money, and im hungry lol. This is the worst day of my life ever.

So now im off to call chase manhatten and hopefully have the immigrant i talked to a week ago fired, for taking out 4 payments instead of 2 and for ruining my day/week.

Chistmas last year had to wait because for the second time wachovia allowed someone to steal my info (they claimed it was their fault, their system wasnt secure) so they guy bought a boat. Obviously a small one but still a friggin boat. I felt so bad for susie, it was like the worst christmas for her and I could do nothing because I had nothing.

[On Sale]

holy **** man. did u ever get it back?

p.s. - about 9 months ago someone stole my identity and had a cingular and nextel account (mind u have had tmobile since 04), both totaling over $2k, i am still fighting it, thats why my credit is poop. that, and this was my first car loan.

[Buster]

I got the money back, on like the 22 of december, try finding presents then.

its chase manhatten, i dont even know if they have one around here. i should check that out and go there right now and demand my ****in cash back.

[Z3R0]

Well The Bank is a Fulton Finantial company so I guess any other Fulton company is probably good too.

I rarely use "Customer Disservice". I do 99.9% of my banking on-line and I just tell the bank to send how much and when via computer.

You should look into doing the same. It's like that "Telephone" game, the less people involved in a transaction the better.

P. S. My bank is VitrualBank, no brick-n-mortar branches, internet banking FTW.

[lownslow95]

i have two bank accounts, one ING, which is solely mine, and 2nd, i have sovereign bank, which me and my dad have. sense i am off at college, and currently not working, he puts money in it when ever something comes up that i need, or he will just automatically put money in the account ever so often. i had a commerce bank account, wich i absoultly hated. they just randomly shut my account down with out me knowing and telling me that. i chewed there asses out for a while, while someone else opend it back up.
