more funny bank stuff from her blog

The past couple of days have been slow but steady. We both had Wednesday off and were supposed to go exploring in the mountains with our neighbor. I woke Elli up around 11am to say we needed to get going and she wasn't too happy about it. After some touchy moments, I decided to get away for a while and run my errands. The first thing on my list was to head to the bank to make a deposit so I could pay some bills. I still hadn't received my checks and ATM card so I was going to get a money order to mail out to get one of them taken care.

Unlike Cali which has very few drive thrus, Wells Fargo here has a nice big drive thru so I drove up and sent in my deposit. I had decided I would send a check from my new account kit so I didn't even have to go in. That was, until the bank manager came to the speaker and said there was a problem with my account. I could either come in to take care of it now or she could send my paperwork back so I could come in at a later date. Since I needed to pay bills, I had to opt for immediate action.

I went in and found out that they had decided to close my new account. I guess the home office looked at my credit report and decided I couldn't have an account after all. Then comes the best news of all . . . they had sent my money out by check so I had to wait for my money. Now I was really pissed off. The manager had signed off on my account when I opened it. I had deposited cash so I wanted my cash back. They said they had 10 days to get my money to me by check. I said "Great, tell that to the companies I owe bills on"!! This is exactly why I'd like to see the banking systems fail. They only cater to the people with big bucks, the rest of us they treat like shit!! I mean, REALLY, they took my cash and wouldn't give it back like I REALLY got time to wait!!!

Needless to say, I still don't have my money. Yesterday, I received my checkbook along with a letter saying they were closing my account. Does that really make sense?? Order me checks and then close my account. If I was a bad risk, I would've taken those checks and written them all over town. I'm waiting to see if they deducted the price of the checks from the amount they're sending me. Oh they think I made a scene the other day . . . they better not try to charge me for those checks!!!
