my freaking banks data was "compromised" so that automatic payments from my bank card, are cancelled until a new card can be issued- in 7 -10 days!
real pain in the asre on my auto pay stuff
so until I get a new card in mail, the ads will remain
sorry.....as the bank lady told me when she called

Thats interesting as for my Visa card when compromised by someone was replaced the NEXT DAY by special delivery. Surely a home town bank could issue you a new one on the spot!! Sheesh, some banks do what they want, when they want. The same way a few years ago a bank i was using started to charge me $5 a month when i didnt put anything in my savings account! THe $5 was withdrawn from my savings account. As far as i know i wasnt notified except by the end of the month statement. The bank did this all by themselves (their board most likely) But if you notice banks are putting up new banks on corners where they buy the houses or whatever they need.....that takes alot of money .....but they give diddley squat for interest.

yeah- you would really think so! but that's our bank- quit there a couple of times to bank in Roch or Winona- but so inconvenient because most of my income is personal checks, and I hate sending checks through the mail all the time
our local bank now charges $5 a month, for a checking account, unless you keep 5 grand in it- I told them that was absurd- that 99.9% of those that had $5,000 laying around extra, wouldn't keep it in a checking account to save $5 a month- was told- "that's your choice"
you should have seen the trouble I went through to open a checking account for our FTA chapter at the time- was told couldn't do it for a lot of regulation reasons- "its the law"
finally got them to admit not "the law" but HER policy lots and lots of BS, but I field out all the papers on my own (non profit, etc)- went back and was told that "since I didn't have a lawyer involved, they couldn't take the paperwork for a checking account
finally had the president of the bank involved- and he told her whats the problem, hes never seen all the paperwork filled out more completely, lawyer or not-
anther time- came back from a convention- they at the window wouldn't take checks made out to "Coyotes "R" Us- cause who knows?
told me been doing it for years- was told no, never happened,- I again demanded to see the president- told him- they hae bene taking them for years- SEVERAL telelrs were called- al lto ap erson they denied ever doing such.
sorry- no can help
grrrrr
that next weekend on sunday, the pres called me at home- mentioned that he wondered on how I was so insistent, so he went in to investigate- and he called to apologize that yes, I was correct.
flash forward- picked up rolls of quarters for convention, on Monday went back to return the unused rolls- oops- one roll was a quarter shy-
wouldn't take it at the window- so parked truck in line, and went inside- it was only a quarter, but damn it- was the same rol lTHEY gave me 3 days earlier
mickey mouse bank- but what can you do?

Ouch, ouch, banks got us by the balls, boobs or whatever! I don't have any problems with banks making a profit but the b2st3rds.....drain the little guy down. WHen you know they are making money off of your checking account and savings account and other accounts plus their bank chgs to you.... Tellers at banks make squat for wages, maybe they are just taking out on you.....

What about these new banks that cash a check from a picture? That would solve your problem.

Steve I feel your pain. I do appreciate the Bank President understanding the relationship side of the business enough to call you at home and apologize.

yeah- daughter has that- watched her do it yesterday- pretty neat
but then I'd have to not only get a cell phone, but a smart phone. She told me you can do it online as well, will look into that
and I won't do that
just don' like them- if I'm not at home- I don't want a phone to ring. I carry a "burn" phone out trapping- but its basically worthless on these hills (as is any other cell phone)-

yeah freedom 55....the bulk of Smart phone owners over 55 of age do not use any the apps available
our banks are charging interest from the day you use some of their cards, no 21 day grace from mailing date of their statements
