TD put the checks on hold, which they legally can do and I have no problem with. I met with Sheryl yo see how long the hold woukd be. She pulled-up my account and told me she could see the checks were deposited, cleared and I had spent the money. No matter how I attempted to explain to her and basic math would have shown that I had not spent the money. I left frustrated and feeling belittled, called customer service and they were able to quickly see the money eas in fact just on hold, not spent and gave me a date of availability. The CS agent called her while I was on hold explained the situation to her and still claimed I had spent the money.

This might be THE WORST branch of any bank I've ever been to. And we have a 500k+ mortgage with…read morethem, so figure how regular customers must be treated... My problem's here have persisted for months, mostly revolving around the older staff who seem stuck in their ways and uninterested or unable to learn basic, 21st century customer service skills. I went in one day after having my account frozen for NO REASON and instead of helping me, one of the older ladies just waved me off, telling me to call the customer service line that had me on hold for two hours. And today - another older teller tried to argue with me over taking my change. She said she didn't have time to count it, so I offered to count and roll the change while she helped other customers and she blatantly refused, telling me to instead go to Beverly. Is this really the attitude you want to be giving someone who has quite a lot of money going to Salem Five? Honestly, just go to TD in North Beverly - their service beats the crap out of this Salem Five, their hours are longer, they have higher withdrawal limits, they give you a new debit card same day. Don't even bother with Salem Five.
