Washing Trust has been a great
local bank so this might be hard to believe, I still can't believe a stop check to a contractor for house repairs did not work; even though
the bank helpers on the phone
promised me it was all set. With a "Docusign" to make sure the check
could not be cashed in the future.
The charge:30 $
A week later a letter came from
the bank saying the check bounced and there was a fee for
25 $ Upon calling about this, the
banker said this needs a call back.
When they called back they said
there had been a typo or error
in the check number that was entered in ? All the info was there
the contractor name, the exact amount 695 $
Can't believe a bank typo error
on the check #(1 digit off) would make a garrentee from all the nice people on the phone disappear.
So this was my fault I was told ??
WOW The account bounced two more small checks ... and there were two more 25$ fees and the
account came down a lot from
the banks failure to honor what
its agents said and expected thenselfs; even the guy who did the whole thing wen to bat for the
situation and what happened, he knew it was a BANK ERROR
The branch Manager that handes
my accounts there, basically hung
up on me too, when I called to check on the status of their upper
management decision.
Shocking a bank that says it is
for its customers and is a protector of people's resources
trusted unto to them, Don't believe it, they'll take your account
down with a lack of ability in doing a simple stop payment ?
The upper people were rude;
blamed me(even though I had
everything all set I was told twice)
and hung up on by a rep, and laughed at me in the SC branch
bank as I walked away. read more
