Perverted Credit

Last year’s bank fallout brought about many awful things; unemployment at an all time high contributing to homelessness, stock market near crashing, company closures and of course we cannot forget the awesome (being facetious of course) wall-street bailout. But as we all know certain things shall we say roll downhill. For example well fargo’s buyout of Wachovia. We had personally banked at Wachovia for quite some time and never had any issues. However for the last few months we have started seeing the wells fargo ways coming through. Ways such as wrong bank fees and charges, holding direct deposits making checks not clear and charging check fees. At first when I called our bank branch themselves they saw the problem and would put all the fees the new wells fargo took out of our account back into our account.

Now however things are different. We received an email stating the full merger will be complete between wells fargo and Wachovia November 9^th of 2009. This email gave me a chill down my spine as though a poltergeist had gone through my body. For the prior seven or so years I have turned about three to four hundred people away from wells fargo because of what they do to consumers.. to their own customers. I have fought wells fargo so many times myself for others that I would never be able to account how much money was taken from people and fed to the wells fargo CEO. You know – the ones that took their customers foreclosed homes and went and to go live in these houses.

We had personally disputed an account and after faxing the required documentation several time AND the branch faxing the documentation ANOTHER three times we still have yet to get any resolved. One day we called the 800 dispute number and they say they received the paperwork and are reviewing it… but the next time you call; three or four days later they state they never received it. This has now happened for the prior thirty plus days. Now when you call the branch you get a new person who is very proud to announce that he actually came from wells fargo and refuses to help. He is a rude and arrogant wells fargo representative.

Needless to say; we are moving banks… I swore that we would never bank at wells fargo. Yesterday as I was leaving the new wells fargo I walked across the street to bank of the west and opened all our accounts there. As I walked in their frustrated I was told that we were not the only ones that has taken this step. Many many others have done the same. This tells me that I am not personally crazy. Well fargo is awful and never in a million years.. if they were the last bank on earth that offered a billion percent interest would we bank with well fargo. My suggestion to every last person that has a bank account – do the same. Never bank with wells fargo.
