I am not a Chase customer. Nor would I ever be a Chase customer. I was, a long time ago but then I realized that Chase doesn't care about customers - evident from the top on down with the CEO Jamie Dimon.
A week ago, last Monday, July 17, 2017, I attempted to withdraw $500 cash from the CHASE BANK ATM at Lakeside Village. My bank is around 9 miles away and frankly the $6 ATM fee is worth not schlepping out to my wonderful bank, TD Bank. But alas, the ATM sent a debit to my bank however the ATM failed to spit out the cash. The ticket clearly shows that there was no cash distributed because the ATM had an ERROR. Chase doesn't have an argument with that.
So at 8am I called my fabulous TD Bank, told them what happened and they told me that since I am a customer they would be happy to look at the ATM machine right away and get me my $500 out by looking at the film and counting the machine within 4 hours. "No" I explained, I stupidly went to the Chase ATM. They said they will put in an immediate request for them to do an investigation which they did even before Chase opened at 9am.
Then I went to Chase at 9am. They pretty much half-listened, hoping to swat me away like a fly, to my plight of how I was giving $500 early to one of my contractors who was in desperate need to make a car payment. Oh no, said the sarcastic branch manager, if I had banked at their cranky bank they would be better able to help me. Fast forward to MY FABULOUS BANK, TD Bank, who was jumping to help me: replying with emails, calls to me and so forth. Chase Bank apathetic manager?
"Gee I can't do a thing. You have to go to your bank and put in an investigation".
AND she also admitted that Chase Bank's outside ATM had multiple reported problems, stating to me - "It happens all the time with that outside ATM and btw, open an account at Chase and you will never have that problem with us." She added, TD should advance me a courtesy loan for $500 (I don't need to) but can you imagine living paycheck to paycheck like my poor contractor, worried about the car being repossessed?
On Friday. July 21st, TD's investigator called over to Chase bank to see the status. Chase hadn't even STARTED because THEY-DON'T GIVE A FLYING - well you know.
Hey Chase, Hey Let-Them-Eat-Cake Lakeside Village Branch Manager, Hey Jamie Dimon
, CEO Chase Bank" If your ATM sucks - get it fixed. If your contractor can't keep their machine fixed or runs out of money or CONSTANTLY jams, find a new ATM contractor.
ADMIT TO ME THAT YOUR CHASE MACHINE IS ALWAYS BROKEN? Oh. you bet I am going to tell every website that I can. You know we have social media, we have power to stop this nonsense.
Hey people in Lake Buena Vista/Windermere community, if you want your cash eaten for 10 BANK days (legally they do not have to refund until then) - go to Chase ATM. If you want to be treated like dirt - bank with Chase.
Let me teach you a lesson about WHY they couldn't care less. I know that this bank, bailed out by my hard-earned tax payer money has been in trouble, big trouble, paying ENORMOUS settlements, --------$16 billion from 2011 to 2013, another 8.5 billion in January 2016, $100 million in a recent settlement, foreclosing on our active military, and much, much more.
How do they make all this money to pay off all these settlements? Well, by taking 10 days to hold onto the money they did not dispense. That's a lot of interest folks, money that you should be making or giving or throwing away like they throw your money away. They must pay for these settlements somehow, don't they?
I implore you, business owners and regular folk alike, take caution using the CHASE BANK LAKESIDE VILLAGE ATM - take care using any ATM from Chase - call TD BANK and implore them to open a branch by us here in Windermere/Lake Buena Vista FL area. The bank is open 7 days a week, with extended hours - "Convenient Hours" - and if you think my plight is any different than your local Chase bank in ANY TOWN USA, think twice.
Jamie Dimon, CEO Chase Bank, you have the right to make money for your investors however, you do not have the right to abuse non-customers and customers alike. You have large losses and settlements that need to be paid somehow. However, perhaps if you believed that a bank should care about it's community, you wouldn't have 1-star rating which is the lowest possible that some one can give you.
I have people who work for me or vendors I have to pay. Many of us business owners have worked very, very hard through the last recession. I don't need your payout problems and Chase's sinister ways to erroneously hold onto my money. I am sick and tired of banks that treat all of us as peasants. Mr. J.P. Morgan was known as a great industrialist but not a very nice person, in fact he was known as a son-of-a-bitch. I see nothing has changed for Chase read more
