My husband died in October 2022. I went to the Chase Branch at 34 Danbury Road today (1/11/2023) to have his name removed from our joint accounts. I had a certified death certificate with me and had written a letter requesting that this service be performed. The person doing the process went to MY profile and ENTERED ME AS DECEASED. It then took more than an hour for her to undo the damage. As of this moment my checking accounts are open, although at one point there was a "hold" on at least one of them. However, ALL of my debit cards were "killed" as soon as I was entered into the system as deceased. It is Wednesday (1/11/2023). I will not have new cards until Monday (1/16/2023), IF THEN because Monday is Martin Luther King Day. The compensation I received was the refund of the service charge fees for one month on each account. I do not think that the branch manager even knows that this happened. And, at one point I blew up because the person who made the error was taking a very long time trying to scan something into their system. The floor walker talked to me like I was being unreasonable. Seriously? My husband died. This process should not have taken more than 20 minutes at most. But instead, I was sitting in a cubicle for almost 90 minutes while the person who did the damage kept saying "this has never happened to me before". Find another bank to do business with. If you are stuck with Chase, use another branch. This branch is quite simply unacceptable. PS. I did NOT have ANY problems at M&T Bank nor at Fairfield County Bank for the same service -- removing my husband's name from our accounts. read more
