    My partner works overtime to supply food/shelter for our family. Two months ago, we almost got kicked out of our apartment because his direct deposit ended up with some fraud hands in a few states away and now we are starving, because the bank won't release his paycheck money from 11/15. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Thank God for people who feed the needy. Being a victim of this bank is not a fun journey. My condolences to all.

    Before I go shopping or purchase anything, I check my account to make sure all previous transactions are cleared. It said I had a certain amount in there before running errands. I made a purchase and got a text stating I had a balance of $$ left, not a negative balance as I need to mention. So why the next morning, I have 2 non-sufficient funds for 2 purchases that took place on a Saturday and cleared on Monday. Here it is Tuesday with no text of a negative balance, let alone other purchases that were placed a week ago just so happened to clear the same day I got hit with 2 NSF. They were cleared that Friday and Saturday, so now I will get hit with a 3rd non-sufficient funds from going to Wal-Mart yesterday after my statement read I had more than enough money to make the said purchase. What banks do you know of, other than Chase, that lies on a customer's activity and pending charges just to steal money by hitting them multiple NSF? Hope my wording in the review did not confuse any of you. I swear it seems as though they love getting over on their customers. Guess they have no loyalty. Time to find another bank.

    My problem is with Chase Bank. I had made a deposit 5/9/2012 through Chase Bank’s Quick Deposit where you take a picture of your check to be deposited and it deposits it through your cell phone. The amount was $639.00. After that, I put the check in a box to be destroyed. Before I could destroy it, someone took it out of that box and went to a Chase ATM and deposited it 6/26/2012 into another Chase customer account. That’s more than 45 days later.

    When the IRS caught the double deposit, Chase Bank took the money back out of my account and not the other person’s account. When you look at the cancelled check after the second deposit, it’s obvious that there was fraudulent activity and the bank should have taken the money from the other person’s account and not mine, since I am the one the check was made out to. And it is illegal for a bank to deposit a government check into an account other than who it is made out to. Chase’s response to all of this is that I should have destroyed the check after I deposited it.

    I had been a victim of bank fraud, Phoenix Police Department report # **, and my financial institution JP Morgan Chase & CO refused to provide any fulfillment for a fraud protection service paid for religiously each month. Chase is in violation with the United States Treasury Department in reference to 31 U.S.C. § 3343 for not only honoring a counterfeit treasury endorsement but accepting a stolen check that had already been reported to the U.S. Treasury Department as deposited by JP Morgan Chase & CO less than 2 months prior. Further action is being sought with United States Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board of Regulation for JP Morgan Chase neglecting to follow standard protocol when accepting government checks set forth by United States Federal Government and for allowing fraudulent activities to continually victimize Chase’s own members, showing no regard to the safety of the victims’ financial assets.

    Attempted to have this matter resolved with J P Morgan Chase & CO, case # **, only to receive a letter, after Attorney General Complaint CIC **, that went to the extent of defaming my character and based their refusal of accountability on false allegations not supported with any sort of evidence. A blatantly obvious bank error that should have been easily corrected is now being covered up to the point that even JP Morgan Chase & CO executive representatives are willingly violating Chase’s own bank policy on Code of Ethics.

    I have no desire to affect employment statuses of the many Chase employees who have done me wrong. All I seek is what is rightfully mine, the $639.00 from check # ** tax returns for work performed in 2011. I feel it is an insult to a person’s intelligence when you tell an individual, in essence, “Sue me” very well knowing that your disclaimer releases the institutions from any legal responsibilities or restitution that is rightfully due to the victims of Chase members. It is not alright for banking institutions to have zero accountability for their actions.

    I had requested a modification from Chase in April 2012. I was denied. I was never put on a trial payment plan nor a modification. I kept making my regular payments. On the modification application it states: "If I qualify for and enter into a repayment plan, forbearance plan or trial period plan, I agree to the establishment of an escrow account and the payment of escrow item if an escrow account never existed on my loan." See the "If I qualify and enter"? I never qualified and never entered. So it was business as usual, with my payments being made automatically from my Chase Checking account on the 9th of every month. Each month advancing to the next month.

    On 7/30/12, I was forced to file a Chapter 13 in Los Angeles. I then received a bill that showed an escrow account so I called Chase. After getting the runaround, I finally got through to a representative who was going to reverse out my payment, have the escrow removed, reapply my payment effective 8/6/12 (for my 8/1/12 payment) and everything would be okay. Well, since then, each month I get a bill showing me more and more behind. Each month I need to call and get it straightened out. I even received a notice dated 8/19/12 that the escrow account was cancelled(?). What escrow account? Needless to say, I've been going through this every month. I spoke to a representative in the bankruptcy department on 11/13/12 by the name of Angela, who reassured me that there is no escrow account and that she would send a request to both the attorney representing Chase in my bankruptcy to amend the proof of claim, to show me as current and to have Chase make the correction to my loan that need to be made.

    Each month, I pay my payment via certified May, with a cashier’s check and all have been made. After I hung up with her, I get a bill showing me $4K+ delinquent. I have done everything I'm supposed to and Chase is the one that's screwing up and I get told, "Maybe we can have Chase pay the attorney's fees in court." Maybe? What is everyone talking about? I'm one person, forced to file bankruptcy because my 2nd mortgage holder wouldn't modify my loan, when my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and placed on Social Security and I have all the documentation from Chase that they screwed up and I'm the one they wanted to pay the bills. Is there someone who can help me with this?

    JP Morgan Chase and I had a parting of ways over fees charged to my account. It was my opinion that if money is not in my account, then Chase should simply deny the charge with no fees. They are doing me no favors when they cover a $10 charge and charging me upwards of that same amount in fees. They unilaterally closed my checking account over this dispute, which began as escalation of events. Long story short, this resulted in a loss of business for them, closing a number of credit cards and a few long term CDs. It took some effort, but I was successful in challenging their penalties for early withdrawal.

    A piece of advice to anyone following in my footsteps: never accept a bank's word on their policies. Of course it's in their best interest to have a one-way flow of funds from their clients' accounts to Chase's bottom line! Work your challenge with as many different people up the ladder as possible, sooner or later you will find someone who either sees reason or just wants to dispose of the issue. Unfortunately, my persistence in fighting the system has some disadvantages. Chase has abusively placed a "Trespass Warning" on me. I would normally just shrug this off as I would never knowingly use their services again, but the wording was so vague as to leave open the distinct possibility of an accidental trespass.

    In fact, in order to assist with my compliance to their request, I asked for a list of any land, building, property or premises of JP Morgan Chase & Co or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. Chase branch offices are easy enough to avoid, but do they really expect me to research and maintain a list of all their affiliates' and subsidiaries' holdings? Anti-bullying is currently a trend in today's media. I think a lot of those "bullies" would feel right at home working for JP Morgan.

    I give this location no stars. The branch manager is rude and has no respect for clientele. I called to find out why my card was being declined. When I asked to speak to my banker, I was told that she was not available and he had asked what he could help me with. I then explained that if I ran my card as debit or credit it would decline. The man on the phone looked up my account information and told me that I had the wrong PIN every single time I used my card. Well, some of the time I had run it as credit I had explained and you don’t need a PIN for credit. I explained that it worked perfectly fine at ATMs. He kept speaking over me and telling me that it said I had the wrong PIN. I asked if it was his system that had messed up my card and he had said that was a possibility.

    I then asked how that was possible; this is the same PIN I set up since day one. He kept repeating himself and speaking over me. I then asked to speak with the branch manager and he told me that I was speaking with him. I again asked what we could do to solve the problem and he had told me that I had to reset my PIN. When I asked him why if it’s not going to solve problem of it being ran as credit, he then got upset with me and began speaking loudly and telling me that he couldn’t do anything without calling and finding out. I told him that I could come down to the bank to discuss my account with him and he said that if I did that, he would have me arrested and taken to jail. What for? I’m not sure. I told him to call and find out why it wasn’t working and to call me back, he took down my phone number, and said he would call me back that day, and never did. That phone call took place a week ago and today, I went into the bank for the first time when he was not working. I sat with a banker, as mine was gone again, and reset my PIN. I got the phone number for the corporate office and called his boss.

    The lady called me later that day and refused to believe my story. She said that a note would be made in his file and that was about it, I then got her boss’s phone number. This is no way to treat a customer, and this is no way to go about customer service. I reset my PIN today and my card still did not work and it still works at the ATM. They have not solved any of my problems!

    I wrote a check for my husband for $1,200 deposited into his account on the 9th. His bank rejected the check because Chase gave me checks that weren't valid the day I set up my new checking and savings accounts. His bank rejected the check on the 17th. It is now the 30th and I am just now finding out that this check was returned to me. Chase never notified me about returning this check and never deposited the funds back into my account. When I called them asking them about it, their excuse was "these things take time" with no further explanation. Also when I opened the account, I deposited a $4,000 check into my account, which they lost and those funds weren't credited back to me for a week. Again they didn't have a great explanation nor did they do anything to try and fix the problem faster. That was my only source of income at the time, considering the check I deposited was a work check.

    I am a first time home buyer beginning this new, exciting journey in life. After looking at countless homes, I found one that was perfect for me. It's a short sale. I put in an offer anyway at the asking price. The seller accepted within 4 hours. Because it is a short sale, the offer has to be accepted by the bank. Thus, the offer was sent to Chase Bank short sale department on a Friday.

    It has been over 47 days since we have submitted that offer. There has been no communication from Chase regarding the offer. The seller has called the hotline every other day to get an update. The only thing they tell us is that "It's in the process." They're not telling us if the BPO has been done. It was supposedly assigned to an escalation specialist about 30 days ago. That title means nothing and that person should be fired. Oh and by the way, if you visit the Chase website, it lists that all offers will be returned within 30 days. What a joke.

    As a first time home buyer, Chase Bank is ruining this process which is supposed to be one of the greatest things you ever experience. They are turning me away from buying a home because they make the process so difficult. I will never, ever buy anything from Chase Bank, Chase Mortgage or anything affiliated with Chase Bank.

    Fraudulent checks mysteriously deposited into acct: My daughter lost her ATM card or it was stolen. When she realized it, she went to the branch, Chase, to report it. Chase issued her a new card. When she was just about to depart, she turned back and asked the Chase rep if he can check to make sure no one had used her card. The rep stated he did in fact see pending checks. If the rep had checked the account the first time when issuing a new card, why wasn't she told about a pending check for over $4,000 from a Cigna Connecticut Insurance company after the card was lost. Someone deposited 5 checks after the date the card was lost. Don't you think that should have raised a bright red flag? He also told her the account was on hold. Again, why wasn't any of this told to her prior to her inquiring?

    The card was lost prior to the fraudulent transaction. My daughter explained she didn't know of any insurance company in Connecticut or elsewhere (we are in NYC) nor knew anything of pending checks. She is also a college student - freshman. The rep told her maybe she had forgotten she deposited the checks. Is this not a sign of cover-up? She was appalled and told him she did not deposit any checks. The check was deposited 5 times to her account for the same amount totaling close to $5,000. The Rep was very unprofessional to suggest she had forgotten. How asinine of a statement was that?

    Then she was asked stupidly to sign her signature on a piece of paper for comparison to one line signature on fraudulent checks. This is another telltale sign the bank may be very much aware of this trickery. The bank doesn't need you to sign your signature for comparison - they have it on file already. Uggghhh. She was told somehow, someone used her ATM with her pin. No one had access to her pin and she did not need to have it written anywhere. She filed a complaint via the bank rep. He stated they will remove the checks. She requested her account be closed. She was told they cannot close the account because it had an outstanding balance of -$270.00 for the return checks. Okay, something is obviously shady. Why would five fraudulent checks cost $270 dollars in fees?! Why would the consumer be responsible for fees when the bank is well aware it was fraud?!

    After reading and researching, this has happened to several people. It makes you wonder if these types of situations are inside jobs. I intend to file a complaint with every appropriate party I can. No one has money to just fork over to Chase because they say so. Forget about calling customer service; they will send you to 'Deposit Review' who was useless to say the least. Then I was forwarded to 'Check Investigations Dept' whose English was very difficult to comprehend. So after being sent around the world, the bottom line, after following up via phone, the answer was, yes, the bank submitted a claim, but it was denied. In order to close account, the negative $270 must be paid.

    This is bank BS. Why should someone pay for someone else’s illegal activities that the bank should have noticed early on. Sadly, Chase is chasing away customers at a rapid rate. Keep in mind, the check only had her name on them, no account number on checks or any address for her. The bank claimed they held the checks because they needed to verify them. It took well over a week before they removed the pending checks from her account. In today’s technological advanced world, it took that long. Why? Because they are not being forthcoming. Point Blank.

    In early May, I decided to try the Chase app on my phone. I took a picture of my check and sent it in, and it was deposited. Then came June, I found the same check in my dresser drawer and had completely forgot about the phone transfer. I took it down to the bank and deposited, and the money was put in my account "again"! Needless to say, two months later, I wake up to my account in the negative by 600.00 dollars. No phone call telling me why, or them taking 2 months to see the mix-up! I'm happy they "finally" found the error, but why are they just taking from my account and charging me overdraft fees without even calling me! I have had the worst experience with Chase Bank.

    I'm a 25 year old man and I opened my first account with Chase when I was 14 years old. I've been using them for over a decade. Never once did I ever change my PIN on my card since I've been banking with them. About a week ago, I went to a gas station (because I needed gas, God forbid). I went to pay at the pump and I entered my PIN on the keyboard. It said, "Card Declined: contact your bank." I tried it again, making sure I entered my PIN correctly. Same message. I tried a third time just to make sure. No go. So, I decided to try my one credit card instead. This was declined as well, repeatedly with the same message.

    I called Chase. They put a block on both my debit and credit card because they thought someone else was trying to use my card. Thank you, Chase, for the extra belt of security, but come on. I had to leave the gas station with a dwindling amount of gas in my tank, severely frustrated. I couldn't even pay my bills or buy groceries for a day because they thought that me buying gas at a gas station where I live was somehow fraud. They claimed I had entered the wrong PIN, which I did not. I've been using the same PIN for over 10 years. I've never changed it. I double checked it to make sure because sometimes that happens. We enter the wrong PIN, but not three times in a row.

    This was a huge ** headache and I was even treated poorly by the gas station attendant. He said, "That means you have no money in your account! Go talk to your bank. Have a nice day." This is only the tip of the iceberg. After a frustrating evening, two-hour long calls with Chase, I was finally able to get the issue cleared up. A week goes by and I get a text message that my debit card is being cancelled due to suspected fraud and I would receive a new one in 7 to 10 business days. I thought, "Uh-oh, better check online to make sure no one has paid for something I didn't authorize." Guess what? Every transaction was mine.

    I felt so strange having to call them to tell them, "Hey, I am not the victim of fraud, don't cancel my card." And I did that. They responded with "Well, we received word from our fraud monitors that there was the possibility of fraud." I replied, "I live and work in (this) city. Charges are going to be made by me in and around the city. I'm going to use my card. I look at my account almost daily. If a charge occurs that I didn't authorize, I will let you know. But I made these because I have to live. I buy things for survival. That's not fraud."

    Apparently, Chase didn't think so and they cancelled my debit card because it's in the contract that I signed with them some 11 years ago, that they reserve the right to cancel my card without my consent, even if there is a positive balance. Thank you, Chase, for being the biggest pain in the ** ever. Life isn't difficult enough that I have to worry about whether or not you're going to put iron bars on my account every time I go to the grocery store.

    Somehow our ATM card number was stolen and someone took out over $1,000 from my account. When I called Chase to notify them, they went ahead and filed a claim, but it would take 7 to 10 business days to credit our account. What the hell am I supposed to do for 10 days with no money? I have 3 kids. As if that's not bad enough, when I checked back in 10 days, still no money returned. Now I can't find any record of the stolen money. They removed all traces. When I called with my claim number, they said that the claim number didn't exist. Really? Thanks for stealing $1,000 from my family Chase.

    I came to cash my work check at the 5581 Broadway Location of Chase Bank, then was detained by an employee ** for about an hour. After a seemingly harmless interrogation regarding where I work, what I do, etc., questions that are clearly unnecessary for cashing a $2,000.00 check, yes it is a fairly large sum; however, as a contracted employee, that is usually my compensation if not greater. Nonetheless, I was held at the branch for over an hour without any type of information as to why I was not allowed to cash my check. As you can imagine, I did not compensate for this amount of time to be consumed from my day and at no point did they ever explain to me that for security purposes, they were doing any checks. My time is valuable and I do not need to be treated like a criminal, with underhanded interrogations and no communication. At the end of it all, they cashed my check after over an hour. I sincerely have never been treated like this in any other bank and felt that the assumption was made that I was trying to engage in fraudulent activity.

    I called the rep who helped me and cussed her out. She said it was out of her hands. They took all my money which included my rent and car note payments. Now, it gets better. I got a letter a week later saying they are closing my account with the only excuse that I am a risk. Now, I am already pissed.

    On 09/02/2012, I went to a local casino and used their ATM to get more cash. In the middle of the transaction, the system crashed on the ATM and the UI screen was locked. I went to the cashier to finish this transaction and was told that this transaction was cancelled due to their system error. I was also told that my Chase Bank account will not be charged for this transaction at the same time. After I went home, I found out that they pulled out the money from my account.

    I called Chase Bank immediately with regard to this unauthorized transaction, since the transaction was still pending at the time I called. The customer rep asked me to call back when the pending status is replaced by actual date. Then I called Global Payment (the owner of the ATM at the casino). The customer rep created an instance for investigation. The next day, 9/3/2012, I received a call from Global Payment and was told that they reversed the transaction and money will be credited back to my account within 7-10 business days. On 9/5/2012, I called the bank again for this unauthorized transaction. The customer rep transferred my call to the claims department. The rep from the claims department opened a claim for me for investigation. On 9/6/2012, I was told by the claims department that I have to wait for 15 days in order for them to investigate. The reason is that the Global Payment told Chase that they will refund my money.

    By their policy, the waiting time is up to 15 days. I am not satisfied by this answer because: 1) The transaction was cancelled. I did not get my own money from my account; 2) The system error on that machine is not my problem. Why do I have to take the responsibility for 15 days? In fact, that is the problem between the bank and the owner of the ATM; 3) The Chase Bank took out my money from my account without my authorization and then asked me to wait for 15 days. Bottom line is, I want my money back to my account immediately. The amount is $913.50. It is my money and not a loan or something else.

    First of all, I make sure to check my checking account at least once a day so I know what is going through and when it's going through. Every week it's the same thing. I check my account Thursday night to know exactly how much we will have in the account for the week when payroll is deposited and when Friday morning rolls around, there are at least 1 or 2 overdraft fees posted to my account that shouldn't be there. This week, there was one extra which posted to my account that shouldn't be there because the purchase went through a few days ago. If there was supposed to be an overdraft fee, it should have posted then according to their paperwork.

    When I spoke with someone about it, his only comment was, "We can't predict when the merchant takes their money." Uhmm hello!? It was already posted to my account. There should have only been 1 overdraft charge, not 2. I guess it's people like me who can't make it over there to close account (due to it being a joint account) during regular business hours that keep their company running. I would much rather lose a few dollars in wages at this point than to have to keep paying them hundreds in overdraft fees!

    I wish to inform banking citizens of the cheating practices of Chase Bank and in particular, Chase Investment Service Corporation. Two years ago, I spoke with a Chase Bank Investment Officer and advised him I wanted a savings account which would pay more than the regular passbook saving accounts. This investment officer told me he could get me an account which would pay me 5% per year. He then proceeded to steer me into a retirement investment annuity with Prudential Insurance Company. Please note I am already retired. I need to save my money. Not have some thieving investment officer at a bank take it from me.

    The investment officer proceeded to steer me into an annuity account and had me sign contracts for this account. Little was I aware of at the time that the account was not a savings account at all; it was an annuity based upon earnings from the stock market and it had a seven-year contract. I also noticed that it is some kind of retirement account that will only pay me less than $600.00 per year. Chase Bank has cheated me completely. I stand to lose a substantial amount of money on this. The investment officer was not truthful in this transaction. All he wanted was to get my money. I am already retired. I wanted a savings account and the investment officer completely steered me into a long term account that will take 20 years to collect back my $10,000.

    Now I may have to spend more money to hire an attorney to fight with Chase Bank for the return of my $10,000 investment. The investment officer did not explain this "savings account" to me nor did he tell me about the "free look" provision. I had gone to China for 6 months and upon my return to the United States, I noticed my "account" had not gained any money but was in fact losing money. I waited for the year to pass to see if I would gain the 5% promised to me. By the end of the year, I had actually lost several hundred dollars from my $10,000.00 investment. I filed a complaint with Chase Bank which was forwarded to the Compliance Officer of Chase Investment Services Corp. He wrote to me and informed me since I signed the initial contracts and I had not opted out of the contracts with the "free look" provision, that he was under the impression that Chase Bank and the investment officer had followed all procedures properly.

    I informed the compliance officer that I was out of the country during the time the "free look" provision was sent to me and he informed me it made no difference. He was standing by the fact that I signed the original documents. I feel the original annuity opened up to me by investment officer was fraudulent in nature as to what I informed him that I wanted in the beginning. Had the officer explained to me in full the terms of this investment, I would have never entered into it. Had it been explained to me that this "account" was based upon earnings from the stock market, I certainly would not have entered into it. And if I would have been offered the opportunity to opt out of the contract with the "free look" provision, I would have.

    The investment officer knew I was leaving the country and would be gone for several months because we had discussed this while I was in his office. He never informed me of a "free look" provision and now, Chase Bank will not stand behind it anyway. I never received the "free look" provision nor did I have the opportunity to examine it and opt out of the original contract. For these reasons I have initiated complaints against Chase Bank and Chase Investment Services Corporation. I am a retired individual and can ill afford to lose $10,000.00 for a seven-year period with the potential of losing part or all of my investment during these seven years. I feel this matter should be investigated and the investment officer's business practices be investigated as well.

    I had a Chase basic checking account. At some point last year, Chase did away with this basic account. There were no minimum balance requirements and it did not require direct deposit. My employer does not offer direct deposit. I was able to keep the account, I was told I was "grandfathered" in. I went to the bank in order to make a change on a different account, and the personal banker changed the account type on my personal checking account. Now they can't change it back. I can't or, shall I say, I won't pay $12 per month for a checking account. I really liked my Chase mobile apps and alerts, but this account was only used for my automatic withdrawals so that when I get paid, I put all my bill pay money in one place. My other checking account was for my day to day spending. I feel just sick that after having this account since 2005, I have to close it! I refuse to put all of my funds in one bank. Their answer is that I can just deposit more into the account. Excuse me, so I should reward you for screwing up my system? I don't think so! I will go on a personal mission to blog everywhere I can in order to stop people from opening accounts here!

    Hello, my name is Chanelle ** and I used to have an account with Chase Bank. I opened this checking account during my freshman year of college and I am writing this letter to notify you about an activity that occurred with the account. Unfortunately, my debit card was recently lost/stolen and I have become a victim of fraud. As a new account holder, I naively placed my PIN on my debit card to remember it. But this backfired on me when I was alerted that checks were placed into my checking account without my knowledge or approval.

    I had no idea what activity has taken place until a letter was sent and I spoke to a representative from the bank notifying me about the transactions that occurred. It seems that someone deposited checks in my account and then withdrew them. Chase cleared these checks but these checks were fraudulent checks. Now I have an overdraft free of about $3,000. This is disturbing and quite frustrating because Chase is now telling me that I owe this amount when in reality, I never withdrew this amount.

    I’m writing this letter to notify and plead my case about this devastating ordeal. I’ve explained to the bank that I had no knowledge of these transactions. It may sound absurd but I didn’t realize that I lost my card until I received a letter about these checks that were being deposited into my account. I had no money in my account, so it wasn’t imperative for me to manage my account daily. I wasn’t using my debit card on a regular basis, only when my mom notified me that she was depositing money in my account during my stay on campus.

    When I received the letter, I quickly went to Chase Bank and asked for further help. I filed a claim to investigate and it was denied. Chase then told me “they couldn't do anything else for me and I had to pay them back the money.” I made copies of the 4 Western Union fraudulent checks on my statement and a copy of my transaction history, and went to the precinct to file a police report. The cops told me I needed to call the Chase Corporate Office and let them investigate it further because that it’s their job. I did but Corporate Office refused to investigate it, and they denied my claim and didn't offer to do anything.

    I am writing as a college student in despair. Please, if someone can help me resolve this situation, I would be more than grateful. I know that people are victims of fraud daily but as a college student, I cannot afford to pay this amount especially when I had no idea of it. Please help me!

    I sold my home in December 2011. Chase did not close out the loan or HELOC attached to the house correctly at the time of closing. When the home was sold, Chase needed to close out the loan. That is the procedure. Chase continued to send me bills, late notice statements and called, harassing me for late payments on a home I no longer owned. I never had a late payment prior to selling the home, but because of the error Chase made, it was reported to my credit for 6 months after the home was closed on. I brought this to the attention of Chase. No one would help and I was told it would eventually be fixed, but it could take up to a year to fix it. I even put in a complaint to the BBB, but Chase never answered the inquiry.

    Okay, I made a mistake and bounced a check for my mortgage. I'll admit that and take full responsibility. Once I realized it, I immediately called Chase to straighten it out. The representative that I spoke to said that Chase does not redeposit returned checks and that I'll have to authorize a direct debit to fix the issue. So, I did, and went on with my life.

    Two days later, I happen to log on to my checking account at another bank only to see that my last 15 transactions were overdrawn with a $35 fee for each of them. Looking back in my account, I see that Chase decided that my direct debit payment was not enough for them and they decided to also redeposit the check. So, I called Chase again and this time another woman tells me that Chase always redeposits returned checks and I never should have made the direct debit payment, which of course, I never would have if the first woman told me that.

    Now, Chase refuses to return the extra payment until I produce an actual bank statement (no, the online summary of transactions is not enough) which I will not get for another three weeks. My checking account is negative. I have no money for gas to get to and from work, no money to feed my family for the next month, and Chase does not care one bit. Apparently, they feel that they can do whatever they want and can hold on to my money for as long as they feel like it.

    I'm a night owl. I was checking my Chase account hourly, waiting for some pending charges to go through. As of 3AM on Tuesday, July 10, I was in the black. As of 5:30, I was in overdraft. The charge that caused the overdraft was dated the 9th. The problem is that this charge was not posted on the 9th. They posted it on the 10th, but claimed that it went through on the 9th, in which it did not. They then tried to tell me that even if I covered the vendor charges, the overdraft fees would remain. I finally got them to realize that by holding off on the overdraft until 6PM on the 10th, giving me time to cover the charges, they would keep a customer and avoid getting stuck with the overdraft and the vendor debits, but the important point is that they tried to scam me. They insisted the charge posted on the 9th, when in fact it did not. They cannot process a charge today and said they processed it yesterday, just so they can charge me an overdraft fee! That's fraud in my book. Watch out!

    I have a fixed interest rate on my HELOC for my home. I have made all payments as scheduled. However, instead of the amounts of my payments of interest going down and my principal increasing, it is just the opposite. Chase is also computing my interest on an amount that is more than my balance. I have asked for statement copies, amortization statements and explanations of the inconsistencies. The more questions that I ask, the employees at Chase can't give me an answer and they are stumped as to why I am being overcharged. Interest amount should continue to decline each month when you pay your mortgage. Some months, mine goes up even when I pay on time and the specific amount required.

    On June 4th, 2012, I had finished moving into my new apartment. I went to buy groceries and my debit card was denied. I contacted Chase thinking they had blocked my account as I was not using the card in my usual area. Instead, I learned that there was a bank levy on my account as ordered by the State of Florida for back child support. I am a disabled veteran and am waiting on the VA to process getting me dependent coverage so I can pay it.

    According to Federal law, the banks are not to seize income from disability payments. It seems that Chase bank does not recognize veteran’s benefits/disability pensions as disability. If they had treated my account with the same regard they pay to people on SSDI, then my son wouldn't have had to support me for the month of June which created a hardship on both him and me. I attempted several times to contact the bank levy department in the county that my case is located. I got an answering machine and at no time did anyone return the multiple messages I had left.

    One month later, I finally got through to a human being and my issue was resolved by the end of the day and the hold has been removed. My issue is that Chase could have prevented this whole thing. I am relieved that my issue has been resolved but am concerned for those who this will happen to or is happening now because of a lack of policy change by Chase. They claim to be supportive of America's veterans, offering jobs, all kinds of words but their deeds and policies cause grief and problems for disabled veterans.

    As a result of the hold, they took fees ($125) and I spent hours getting the insufficient funds charges of $170 removed from my account. When I mentioned this to the online banker for Chase, she said she was not able to pass this issue affecting veterans along to her superiors.

    The account balance on the deposit slip does not match the actual account balance before deposit. They indicate they changed their policy more than a year ago and no longer provide your actual account balance but something they call "available balance", which they calculate from your deposit and your pre-deposit actual balance. I think they are doing this, so they get more overdrafts and more fees!

    My father passed away in mid-March 2012. He had several accounts with Chase in Northern California where he resided until his death. After going through the grieving process, I was hoping to assist with his estate. Executed beneficiary papers dated 10/12/2009 showed me as at the 100% beneficiary. I called Chase to review the papers and find out what steps need to be taken on May 2. I was told that I had to go into the branch in Menlo Park, CA and show a picture ID. I told the branch manager that this was problematic for me since I live in South Carolina. I asked if I could scan a photo ID for her and send it. The Menlo Park branch manager then told me she had nothing on file. So, I scanned the executed agreements and sent them to her via email.

    When I called her on March 3, she did not acknowledge that she had received it or any additional information that would have helped me take the next steps in the process. I sent a certified letter to the Chase Bank Deceased Processing group (After researching this on the web, you'd think the branch manager could have referred me to this department.) on May 9. I received confirmation that the letter had been received via USPS on May 18th. In the letter, I included my dad's name, SS#, DOB and copies of the beneficiary form and copies of the accounts. I included my name, phone numbers, mailing address and instructions, and asked them to call me if they had any questions or need additional information. Nothing.

    I finally called to see if I could get any status on June 22. The person that I talked with did confirm that they had received the certified letter (the first acknowledgement of my existence) and said that a decision was pending. If I call back next week, they should have an answer (to what I am not sure, but it's pretty simple. Either your recognize the executed agreement on your form and let me know next steps or you don't and the accounts go to the estate). I called again today (June 25). Another cryptic conversation with a woman saying that I would receive a response via mail. When I asked if there was an expected time frame that I could expect to receive the response, she told me by May 28th. When I pointed out the fact that it was now June and May 28th was 5 weeks ago, she changed her answer to 5 business days. Good times. The amount of frustration and anguish has been overwhelming.

    Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuit against Chase - We closed our business account with WaMu when we sold our business in 2007. It was closed in good standing. Approximately one month later, we received notification that an additional charge came to our account. We paid that amount. What we didn't know was that WaMu put me in ChexSystems. Apparently, they have no legal obligation to notify the consumer. I finally found out this last fall when I moved to a different state and opened an account with a different bank. I immediately contested it with the now Chase bank. I could not get any answers.

    After 7 months of certified letters to Chase and ChexSystems and legal advice, I took them to Small Claims court. I showed up for the hearing and was told that Chase moved it to Federal Court. Again, another example that the court did not have to notify me of the change. So, I continued the battle at the Federal level with mounds of official paper. I talked to lawyers. They wanted to charge me up to $50,000 to go to Federal Court against Chase. I couldn't afford that.

    I decided to fight the battle by myself with lawyer friends. We got as far as the discovery and scheduling the calendar for the court when I received the "official" answer to my complaint that Chase submitted to the court. They deny "representing" WaMu and this was an issue with Washington Mutual and not Chase. They said they lacked sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief to the other 7 allegations. Then the bombshell yesterday. The lawyer called and offered a $500 settlement to drop the lawsuit or else Chase would be filing a frivolous law suit and file the motion to dismiss all charges. She added that she would make sure that she would also sue me for all attorney fees and costs defending the case which she added would be significant. I finally gave up. The consumer lost again. I will probably sign the settlement offer next week and just be done.

    Chase will get by with breaking a Federal Law by continuing to report inaccurate and information that they could not substantiate. They admitted that to me but said it wasn't their concern because it all had been about WaMu which they acquired but don't represent. JPMorgan Chase is having a rough time in the news lately. They have over 10,000 lawsuits against them presently. I would like the consumer to stand together and bring this "too big to fail" bank to their knees. How can we accomplish that?

Well, I now have my account frozen and I now have to pay back $1,535.98 in fees and charges and they also have placed a financial block or black ball on my SSN. So, I am unable to open another bank account anywhere else. Here is the kicker: because my wife’s account was linked to mine, they have frozen hers, too. We are expecting our military retirement benefits to be deposited into our accounts and we’re unable to stop the transfer. It takes up to 10 days to stop direct deposits, so by the 1st of June 2012, Chase Bank will have confiscated $6535.98 for an overdraft of $90.00. And they are telling me that once all overdraft and administration fees are paid, they are closing my account.

    It has taken almost a month to even get this far. My wife and I have not been able to pay any of our bills and we have a mortgage payment to make and with zero funds - well, you can see where that will lead to. I have talked to Chase until I am hoarse and I have even gone to my local branch and tried to talk to my local branch manager.

    I opened an account with Chase when I was living in Florida. I moved to Buffalo, NY in March to find that there were not any Chase Banks in my area. I was willing to still keep my account with them. Last month, I was at a local flea market. I tried to use my debit card to make a purchase and it was saying to the merchant that the zip code I had given them did not match my billing address zip code. I gave them my Florida zip code and my New York zip code and they told me that neither would work. So I paid them in cash, and I left.

    When I got home I checked my bank and found that the transaction did in fact go through. I immediately called Chase Bank while the charge was still pending. They told me they would credit the money back to me and file a claim. Yesterday, over a month later, I received a letter from Chase Bank saying that they were going to take the $70 back out of my account on the 15th of this month because they found while researching the claim that the purchase was authorized?! What is this?! The purchase being authorized was never in question. Yes, it was authorized because it was how I was going to pay. It was only after they told me that my card wasn't going through that I gave them cash.

    I don't understand what the bank was researching for a whole month because in my initial explanation to the bank, I told them everything that they said in the letter. I called Chase and the deadpan, monotone supervisor who cared nothing about my issue continually tried to just get me off the phone while the whole time kept saying that she was trying to help me. So I got upset. Who wouldn't?! My bank is trying to rip me off. So I may have sworn a few times because I'm not paying $140 for a $70 purchase that I've already paid for. She told me that the call was recorded and that people would hear my profanity. I said, "Good". I want people to hear my problems because anyone would be mad about what the bank is doing to me.

    It was only after I argued with her for over 5 minutes that she asked me if I had a receipt from the flea market showing that I paid cash! No, I don't. It's a flea market. They don't give you receipts when you pay cash. I asked her why Chase Bank wouldn't have told me a month ago, when it actually happened, that I needed the receipt showing that I paid cash. Maybe then, I could have gone back and asked the merchant for one. And no, I didn't return to the flea market during that month because, stupid me, I thought that my bank was taking care of everything.

    Look, I'm not an idiot. I realize that people probably try to pull scams all the time and by me saying that I don't have a receipt that it looks like I never paid the cash. But I'm an honest person and everything I said is the absolute truth. I called them on the same day it happened within an hour after I left the flea market, before the charge even cleared. For them to steal that money out of my account a month later, is disgusting. You would think that in the interest of customer service or customer loyalty that they would have just helped me out. Even after I threatened to close my account, the supervisor didn't care at all. She was openly willing to let me close the account. I feel totally ripped off and now I've paid $140 for a $70 purchase.

    Thanks, Chase Bank for everything you've done to me. I'll make sure that nobody in my family and none of my friends will ever bank with you. And the second I get another account, I'll never bank with you again either.

    A friend recently paid me back for shared expenses on a trip. The check was written on Chase Bank so I went into a branch to cash it. They charged me $6 to cash one of their own checks. They were so generous as to offer no fee if I signed up for an account. Now why would I want an account with a bank that treated people so rudely? I am very upset about this and may no longer take checks from this bank at my company. I guess this is the very bank that those ads are talking about where there are all the ridiculous fees. Really poor policy.

    First, I'd like to express that I am not a disgruntled and unreasonable customer, as I have had this account for more than 8-9 years and have only needed to call over the phone for less than 10 times. That being said, Chase has a policy that states that you will be charged a $12 service fee if you do not have a direct deposit of at least $500 or more in a month. I work from home and get my checks deposited in my account on the 15th and 30th every month for the last 1.5 years. Whenever the 15th and the 30th fall on a weekend, I usually get paid on the Friday prior to the weekend. My employer uses Quickbooks to electronically deposit funds in my account.

    However, at times, Quickbooks can be down, which means they are not able to "electronically" deposit funds in my account. So my boss will then manually deposit a check in my account in an effort to not let me get paid late, since Quickbooks usually advise that it can take a while sometimes. See where I am going with this? Well, I was paid more than twice the direct deposit requirement that Chase has in place, and I was still charged the $12 service fee, which in turn made checks bounce. This is an account I use mostly for my direct deposits and small things, as I have other bank accounts. I called Chase and was told that the checks have to be "electronically" deposited, though it is clear that it was from my employer as it was on the 30th, which has been the pattern for the last 1.5 years. The check is also from my employer, which should have also been taken into consideration. As a result, I was hit with a fee for something totally beyond my control and beyond my employer's control; and that led to other fees, since I have other things like my rent bounce.

    This is totally unfair. I met their requirement, but because the check was not "electronically" deposited, I am charged a service fee. Now, really, why would I want to stay with a bank that has this policy in place? I have requested for my account to be canceled and was told that I have to wait for all the pending charges to clear. As soon as that happens, I will definitely be canceling the account and have my checks deposited in one of my other accounts as this is really ridiculous. Only one of my other account charge fees, which only requires a direct deposit of $10, which does not have to be directly deposited. I really wish someone can put a stop to this kind of unfairness. I have been charged the $12 service fee twice, before I started my new job 1.5 years ago. And I never once complained. So I don't think I am being unfair here. I want everyone to pay attention to their accounts with Chase for this kind of stupidity and unfair policy.

    Watch out for the $125/$150/$200 bonus that Chase offers, they might keep your deposit if you don't have the time to run around. I've been with Washington Mutual for years then Chase. I wanted to transfer my 80-year-old mother's account from Union Bank to Chase so that both of our accounts can be linked together for emergency funding. Finally, she got persuaded because of the $200 bonus offer. My 80-year-old mother doesn't get around and talk much with illness. I called the Chase 800 numbers and asked them if I could do it online for her, and yes was the answer. I signed her up online, transferred the opening deposit of $1,500 (recommended by Chase operator for waving service fee) from her Union Bank account to the new Chase account. Everything went smoothly and got approved.

    Three days later, she received her ATM card, approval letter, and PIN. The very next day, she also received a letter that said “Chase can close your account at any time without cause”. After a complete review, they've decided to close her account immediately. All remaining balance in the account will be sent to you within seven business days. Two weeks passed, no check was received. I called the Chase 800 and was transferred to the fraud dept. All they told me was to bring my mother into one of the branches and identify herself. I walked her into my branch in La Mesa California, and met with one of the representatives there named Mark. He's extremely helpful and tried to resolve this problem with the fraud dept.

    She ended up making multiple trips into the branch to see Mark. Each time when Mark called the fraud dept., different representatives at the other end and different excuse was introduced. They wouldn't tell her why the account was closed, but she needed to provide the required documents or she won't get her deposit back. Here are their excuses: a) discrepancy in addresses - BS, my mom hasn't moved for 20 years and she has the same address in her ID card. Her senior CA ID card wasn't accepted, and she needed to provide utilities' bills to prove the address; b) proof of Union Bank account - needed a letter from Union Bank that my mom has an account there and she provided it; c) proof of $1,500 withdrawal from Union Bank - needed to get a statement with the transaction appeared on it, and she also provided it.

    Somebody is using her social security number. First, her social security card wasn't accepted because it's not a pictured ID, then they claimed that her social security number belongs to a different name. She went to a local social security office, and had a printout to prove that her social security number does belong to her. Not to mention how long people usually need to wait in the social security office without appointment in California, she managed to get a letter to prove that is her social security number. While there, I asked the social worker if the system shows her number is being used by somebody else. The social worker said no, because no income has been reported with her social security number. I went further to check her credit, and received a report that shows her credit is fine.

    When all documents were presented to Mark, he called the fraud dept. again. They said that those documents may not be enough, but go ahead and fax them in. They would get back to Mark in a few days after a complete review. In California, a senior ID card and a social security card will be sufficient to open any bank account. But to identify herself through the Chase fraud dept., they require a lot more. I raised a question - if it's a fraud, what's wrong with transferring that $1,500 back to her Union Bank where they got it from. The answer was no, but I have the answer... they want to keep the $1,500 knowing my mom is 80 years old.

    I concluded that Chase fraud dept. is full of crap, they make it so hard that people will give up then they keep the deposit. For being so persistent, she finally received the deposit one month after the account was opened. Without Mark's help and my running around, her $1,500 will be Chase citizen's bailout.

    There was a fraudulent activity on my checking account, placing a negative balance of $4,000 and some odd dollars on my account. As I reached out to the bank and authorities to help me resolve this matter and as I received no help from them and police authorities, I began to feel as though I was being discriminated against because of the color of my skin. I lost my hard earned money due to this process as well as due to the nature of the direct deposit system I was enrolled in through my place of work at Talbots. The negative balance chewed up two of my checks and left me in a position where I'm unable to eat, or care for myself. At this time, I'm looking for anyone who can help me obtain justice.

    I closed my WAMU account back at the end of 2007 due to fraud on my account. Apparently, I had overdraft protection for $1,000.00, for which I did not know as my credit shouldn't have allowed me that. I received bounced fees, etc., which were due to the fraud on my account. I went to the bank and closed the account, and they refunded the fees. But, they told me that I was overdrawn, and they paid those checks with my overdraft protection. I told them I never had that. Also, I was unemployed at the time as well. They advised me that I am still liable for the overdraft protection fee of $1,000.00.

    Now, I got a collections letter from Convergent USA which is telling me to pay $3,111.41 or settle for $1,555.71. I do not have those funds or amount. Since this is not my fault and apparently this is an unsecured debt, I'm wondering what the Statute of Limitations are on this kind of department? Am I still responsible? I had totally forgotten about this. And over 4 years later now, I get this from JP Morgan Chase Bank? I never had an account with them at all. I am very upset and do not know what to do!

    My account was placed on restriction on March 28th. I went into a branch to find out what was going on. They stated that there had been a quick-pay into my account and it was fraudulent. After letting them know I had nothing to do with it, they stated that my account would be closed in 10 days, which would have been then the 12th. And well to my surprise, it wasn't closed on the 12th like I was told it would be. Therefore, I couldn't access my funds which had now been for over 17 days.

    My rent was late. I had a warrant for non-payment. I have a Chase auto loan that was put in jeopardy. My funds were held from me from the date of March 28th and I have still yet to receive my funds today being the 20th of April. I was lied to over the phone by customer service specialists. Numerous times someone told me I could pick up my funds at a bank location before it was completely closed out. So I went back and forth from customer service to 2 branch locations for a total of 10 days. I was told that a check had to be sent. I informed them that I would be evicted if I didn't receive my funds. I begged them the 1st week to at least just remove the quick-pays they felt were fraud and release the rest of my funds.

    I found out 2 weeks later that my account wasn't closed until Monday April 16. This means that I had no access to my money for over 23 days. That is unacceptable as a bank. They must have compassion for their customers. I feel like they took their time with my case. Due to being separated from my money for 23 days, I have a Warrant for Eviction, a late car payment and my 2nd car is in jeopardy of being repossessed. The bank must do better or be held accountable for the fees I have incurred. I still have no clue on what to do. I have over $500 worth of late fees and penalties. What can I do?

    I've closed my business account with Chase after three years of terrible service, but only because I moved to Boston, where there are no Chase banks. I called to ask how to go about closing my account and they told me I could do it over the phone and they would send me the remainder of my balance. This was late January 2012. I waited and waited to receive a check for more than $3,300 and nothing arrived in the mail.

    When I called in mid-March, I was told it was probably lost in the mail and that they would issue me another one. I waited again, but no check arrived even after a month passed. I called back in early April. They said I should have received the replacement check but since I did not, they would send me another check and I would receive it in 5-7 days (because they would not use priority mail or certified mail to send this out, even though it was lost the first two times!).

    Mid-April, I receive an "affidavit and indemnity agreement" document, basically stating that the check was lost and that I had to sign it, get it notarized and send it back. I was furious because I was just expecting to finally receive my check as promised.

    The lady helping me kept calling the National Accounts Closing department, who will not talk directly to clients. They refused to send out my check without me sending back the notarized document. No explanation as to why two sent checks never made it to me, why nobody mentioned I was supposed to receive this affidavit and send it back to get my money and why I was promised on two occasions that a replacement check would be coming my way in 5-7 days.

    It's been almost three months since I've closed my account and I have yet to receive my closing balance from Chase. I find it hard to believe that two checks they sent out were lost in the mail in two months time. They're just keeping my money hostage and are forcing me to pay for notaries and wait longer and longer, even if this is completely their fault.

    I've been on the phone an average of 45min each time and each person I talk to every time tells me different things, promises different things and disputes anything the previous person told me, "I am not sure why they told you that," "I am not sure why you didn't receive the affidavit form the first time we put in the request for lost check," "I am not sure why they told you you'd be receiving a check instead of an affidavit form," and etc.

    I wish there was something I could do to make Chase pay for making me waste so much time and energy on getting my own money back from them. I knew they had terrible customer service, but I figured that it was just because of the overall poor quality of bank service in NYC. But this exceeds any issue or frustration I've ever had with them.

    I had opened an account with Washington Mutual and the young man by the name of Raffi did not speak English well. He had signed me up for overdraft protection without having a savings account. He told me any overdrafts on my debit card would be covered. He placed me in a high risk situation without the funds to cover such a strategy. He even went to the Branch Manager at the time, Vicki ** (10 years), to ask permission. Vicki refused to talk to me at all.

    Later, I developed some terrible brain injury symptoms that fogged my memory. The card went over by just a dollar or so, perhaps a tip that was entered improperly. The charges went into $350 range and were supposed to be reversed and the account closed. This was done over the phone.

    I banked with Chase for years after this and forgot about it. I went onto Union Bank to open a new account and the Branch Manager pulled me aside and asked me if I knew anything about my account having a hold or charge off on it. At first, I could not figure out what this meant. I called everyone at Chase and tried to find out if something went wrong in my account. They (the Executives) told me nothing was wrong and they had no idea what it could be.

    Well, a three hundred dollar amount hit my account and I went to Trader Joe’s to pick up $100 worth of groceries. For some reason, I decided to check my balance first. The money had been transferred "miscellaneously" to another account (from within Chase). I was not notified at all. They had my email address and I was getting some calls that seemed like telemarketing calls where they hung up and could not call them back. First it was $150, then $20, then $13, them $50, then $76 and then they closed the account without telling me. I was blocked from using the account at all and then they closed it. I had small checks that came in every few months and they are now lost. That was several hundred dollars also.

    I went into a new Chase just recently to get all this information straight. I have documentation of the transfers and all employees used diversionary tactics with me. One branch manager said, “The account looks perfectly clean and come on and sign up with us again.”

    I then went to the original bank on South Lake in Pasadena. An Asian young man, who stated he was the Assistant Manager to another gentleman who happened to be Asian also, behaved as though he could not understand that I needed to have copies of the miscellaneous transfers from the last one, going back to the first one. It took me one full hour to get him to understand I did not want a 7 year account history or a 2 year account history. I repeated myself over and over and went to another young woman who was supposed to be able to communicate well. She lost her temper with me and said, "Well, I don't understand why you don't have any information and cannot even remember when this happened. It was your account wasn’t it?!" There were more indelicate remarks and, of course, they could not see the largest transfer in the account - the one that caused a catastrophe with my whole family because I could not get home to see a very sick relative with Alzheimer’s.

    I forwarded this information to the COCC in Houston-Comptroller of Currency. There was a dispute line that could not be utilized due to the lack of notification and full disclosure on the part of the bank. I found this out about Chase that there is a credit collection agency that collects for them that is not a department inside the bank.

    Let me tell you folks, they are cheesy and unethical. Not to mention, uneducated and they are just like the people who buy up ten year old debits and start harassing you. On your signature page or card, read the fine print. You are signing your rights away to Chase so that they can remove any money from your account and close it without notifying you at all. That was the same protocol with WaMu and that's what brought them down. They were just about to get shutdown by the Feds when Chase decided to take them over.

    I made a prediction about Vicki **, who said all of this was perfectly legal. I asked where she was transferred to. I knew it had to be mortgage lending! Well, guess what! They asked me if I saw her picture on the wall behind us and sure enough, there Miss Vicki was with a title under her picture that reads, "Mortgage Loan Officer".

    Folks, I pushed for the bank account that allows us to opt in or out of overdraft coverage on our debit cards. Now, I'm working on getting the same Act passed on our pay pass chips that can be read at any ATM, fast food and coffee shop by hacking groups.

    The big three; Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are scammers and exploit those who are on government benefits. Bank of America used to hold our treasury checks so that our rent checks would bounce. I found out later they were doing the same thing with our debit and credit charges on our bank cards. We would have all these $350 charges for overdrafts that they were causing.

    I will write this message to the Federal Reserve and the COCC again as a follow up and will send it to my Congressman.

    Lack of resolving issue in timely and professional manner: This is a complaint regarding the Crescent City, CA branch. One of my father's employees had her check reversed from her account on March 25. The check had been deposited on March 19 and was posted to my father's account on March 20. I became involved because Umpqua Bank was being blamed for the error. Below is the email that I initially sent to **:

    I am writing on behalf of ** and the issues that she is having with her account. I phoned Umpqua Bank again tonight to verify that there were sufficient funds in my father’s account and was again told that sufficient funds were and have been in my father’s account. This is consistent with what online banking displays. I’m not sure what you would call the transaction that would be issued had insufficient funds been the case, but they have no record of issuing it or receiving one. Had NSF been the case, my father’s account would have been charged a fee, which it has not. Brittney’s paycheck seems to be floating in one of the banks system as the amount is not in either one of our accounts. Also, the $12 fee charged to Brittney needs to be reversed and credited back to her account.

    I did a customer authorization tonight so that Chase Bank can contact Umpqua at 1-866-486-7782 to verify the bank account number, the date the check cleared, and the amount tomorrow. The incoming trace number is **. The check was received on 3.19.12 and was posted on 3.20.12. My father’s account number at ** is **. I cannot place a stop pay on the check because it has been cashed.

    If you have any questions, please contact me at **. Because of the time zone differences, it is often easiest to contact me by email. This issue needs to be resolved in a very timely manner and I expect to hear that the money has been returned to Brittney’s account by the end of the day tomorrow. Thank you for your help and I appreciate your willingness to assist Brittney with this complication.

    Unfortunately, Jennifer did not follow through and contact **. She insisted on being rude and was telling me I wasn't listening to her. She said I wasn't doing what she requested (wanted a copy of the cancelled check sent; I did not have a copy as it was an online payment). She insinuated that the transaction history that I had sent to Brittany could have been altered in some way, etc.

    I then requested to speak with the branch manager **. At first she was helpful, but also said I needed a copy of the check. On Friday, March 30, Umpqua faxed the copy of the posted check to Chase. I know this because I was on the phone with someone from Chase when the fax came through. Again, the authorization by me was given to Chase to contact Umpqua in an attempt to resolve this. I left a message on Friday for ** to call me. I left a message on Monday for the assistant manager to call. I left another message for ** to call on Wednesday. Neither Brittney (employee) or myself have received any calls this week.

    At no time did anyone at Chase even entertain the idea that Chase could have been responsible for the confusion. Blame and proof of innocence was placed on Umpqua Bank, Brittney, and me. What we are being told by Umpqua is that the check was most likely scanned twice in Chase's check 21 system, which would have resulted in Chase pulling the check. It would appear as if the people at Chase don't understand their own systems and are not willing to even entertain the idea that someone in their employment could have made an error.

    This issue is still not resolved. Though we initially received a bit of encouragement from the branch manager, **, there has been nothing but lack of professionalism and an unwillingness to solve this from Chase Bank.

    Chase switching routing and transit numbers without notice - We own a small business in Denver and are former WAMU customers. Chase took over and things have not always been pleasant. In a recent letter dated March 28, 2012 (just received this on April 5, 2012), we have been informed that our account number is changing (for electronic transactions) and the routing and transit number is changing for deposit slips. First of all, we did not receive any advance notice of this change (which, one customer service rep. told me, was due to the fact that they are nixing the WAMU routing numbers). I don't have any problem with that.

    But when we are told to immediately: (1) order new checks (and here's a $150 credit to Deluxe); (2) order new deposit slips; (3) begin using new checks and deposit slips immediately and destroy all old; (4) payroll checks must be updated/upgraded, too, if using; (5) provide new ACH information to all vendors with whom we process electronic payments; and (6) update any automatic withdrawals, such as insurance company payments, utility payments, etc., it's asking a bit much. We also utilize merchant processing (as a retail business) and this must be changed immediately as well.

    Oh, the customer service rep. says, "Yes. There could be a disruption of processing and/or of payments going into our bank account. We're sorry for any inconvenience." I am trying to get contact information for Donna **, senior vice president, business banking (who authored this unanticipated letter) and find out what the heck she was thinking by not giving us any advance notice that this change was going to take place. One rep. said that we could still use our old checks until they run out, but I don't believe anything coming out of their mouths. They do seem clueless. And this gorilla of a bank and highly-paid executives don't seem to care when they stick it to their customers. Not happy about this.

He was only 49 and should not have been able to take out all of our funds without my knowledge.

    We are currently going through a divorce and he claims that all of the money is gone, leaving me and our minor daughter without any money and many debts, including a $310,000 mortgage and $80,000 second mortgage. He withdrew $222,000 over an eight-month period in 2010 and now owes the IRS $68,000 in taxes for that year alone. We were married and living in Arizona during the entire time he was employed. I managed the 401K funds during that time, which resulted in us earning a good return on our investments. Do I have any recourse against Chase for this breach of fiduciary responsibility?

    I've done so much research regarding the bank’s policies and what our deposit account agreement says. That being said, I wasn't too surprised when we received a phone call from the Chase executive office letting us know that they had decided to close both our personal accounts without cause and without due process. They claimed they had a right to do this according to our agreement, but our agreement requires the bank to give us 30 days notice in writing before such action is taken or any changes are made. This did not happen.

    Clearly they breached our contract. I'm totally fine with the decision to close our accounts and terminate further business with us. After all, these accounts were low balance accounts and the bank wasn't making a profit off of letting us bank with them, so I get it. Still, because they breached the contract by failing to let us know of the changes and failing to allow 30 days before changes were made, we incurred several fees for outstanding checks that were not able to post because the banks would not process them. There were fees that were incurred to these other merchants as well because the outstanding checks were refused and not honored and subsequently returned unpaid.

    I believe the bank is responsible for contacting each merchant and/or providing a letter apologizing for their breach, which states they will take full responsibility for all the return fees we received because of their negligence. I also want the accounts restored back to the way they were without the bank fees assessed and closed without further penalty to myself or my husband. I find the entire situation disgusting. We were treated like complete criminals for no reason whatsoever and even more deplorable is the fact that our tax payer money helped bail them out for their own misguided and foolish financial decisions.

    Although it’s not against the law to make a profit off of banking customers, in fact it's well within their rights to make a profit, I find it is against the spirit of the law to penalize any customer and refuse to take responsibility for poor management and breach of contract. Chase Bank is obligated to perform their actions according to our contract. They are obligated by law to take responsibility for any and all fees assessed because of their breach. We want full restitution for every fee associated with these two accounts, as well as with every outside merchant involved, and we want our accounts closed immediately without further penalty or injury to us.

    I have been a loyal costumer of Washington Mutual for years. When they were bought out by J.P. Morgan and switched to Chase, I was less than thrilled and have been feeling the consequences ever since. The smaller occurrences of overdraft fees and the like are less important but recently, I had to deal with a series of bureaucratic difficulties relating to a complete miscommunication between the two states as I have lived in Washington and California in relation to a car I sold four years ago.

    That matter is lengthy, but because of it, all of my funds were placed on hold and Chase charged me $125 for the inconvenience of placing my funds on hold. I know that this is their policy and completely legal, but this is the most corrupt, unfair action I have had a bank do to me yet. I can't switch banks at the moment for convenience reasons but to fine me such a huge amount (I had barely more than that amount in my account to begin with) and without any notice, that seems illegal to me. Like I said, I don't care if technically it is legal. If an individual charged you over $100 to keep you from touching the rest of your money, who wouldn't be furious?

    The bank isn't allowed to inform you they might place your funds on hold in case the person goes and takes all of their money out. Yet, if they had at least mailed me a letter informing me that if I did not take action I would be charged the $125 fee, I could have taken the proper measures. When I called customer service, they didn't know why. I had to do all of the investigation myself which took me a full business day and an additional two payments of $99 and $52 to the DMV. They said that they sent me a notice the day they put my funds on hold and only after I received notice my funds were on hold. This is not notice, as it implies one was told ahead of time. I don't see how this isn't complete sociopathic behavior and immoral monetary rape!

    Chase is refusing to let me discuss missed payment issues with them because my husband is deployed and does not have access to internet or fax machines right now to fax them a letter, allowing to me discuss payment problems with them. They sent me a letter saying that I am behind on my payment for February and they have reported it to the creditor bureau. I made the payment on February 29th and they said that it was late and then they turn around and say the next payment is not due until the 15th of April!

    When I checked my payment status on my statement online, it said payment was up to date! They called today and tried to get me to make a payment to get the car up to date on the balance. I tried to make payment and then they ask to talk to my husband and then when I told them he's deployed, they said oh we can no longer discuss this account with you because your name is on it! Umm, hellooo, why keep calling me when I've told you the same story. My husband's deployed and you won't take money from me?!

    I'm a sophomore at a local university and have Chase's checking account for students. Ever since around this time last year, I've been having problems with their overdraft fees. While some were definitely my fault, a majority of them were a result of Chase being extremely difficult. Recently, my employer switched to those ADP payroll cards. I've only been on the card for 3 paychecks. The first time, I transferred the funds on the card and it was posted a day later into my Chase account. The second time, I transferred the funds at seven in the morning on a Friday. The funds were not showing up in the ADP site nor were they showing up in my account. I, of course, was horrified. I called the ADP people 3 times. They were not helpful at all. I called Chase and they had no clue either. They just gave me the same old runaround.

    So I went in to the bank to talk to a banker. He was nice, but he did nothing. He said he would keep an eye on it and if it didn't post in the morning, he would call them and then me. He never did either and it posted 5 days later. This last paycheck, I withdrew money and deposited into my Chase account instead. I was charged 6 dollars to do so. Then I waited to transfer the remainder of it on Monday. So on Monday, I transferred it at around 11AM. During the entire week, I never got another notification telling me my account was under $25. So I assumed it had been deposited. I went about my week charging my card per usual. Basically, lunch at my university. Then on Thursday, right after buying lunch, I got the text that I had $22 in my bank account. I thought that this was weird considering I should have over $100 leftover from my trip that previous weekend.

    Well it turns out Chase hadn't accepted my transfer until Thursday. But they conveniently managed to never notify me that I was negative, which is what the Chase Mobile is for! They also waited to accept the transfer after they posted my two overdraft fees. So after my last class, I called Chase and they said they couldn't reverse the charges because I had to fix all that after the last paycheck mishap. I have to go out of town almost every weekend. So I talked to one of their senior representatives. He said if he couldn't do it, I would have to talk to a bank manager. He, of course, couldn't do it, so I went in immediately to my bank. I talked to the guy, told him what happened and that I really can't afford these issues. He seemed nice, went and talked to a manager. He said the manager agreed to overturn the draft fees, but this was only a courtesy.

    That was yesterday. Nothing in my account has changed and now I'm overdrawn again because my payments that I was waiting for finally came through, which is really interesting considering that was supposed to happen 3 days ago. Chase really doesn't care about their customers. Upon reading all of these complaints, I've come to realize this. I had submitted a request for direct deposit at my job, but I plan on canceling that. After this is all resolved, I will be canceling my account at Chase and I will take my money to a credit union. I doubt the fees will be reversed. This will be the second time they've lied to me. Why do they need to lie? Why can't they just be upfront and tell me the manager refuses to reverse the charges? Not to mention a month ago, someone had my card information and used it to buy a credit report.

    What is going on with this bank? I get paid 8 dollars an hour to run attractions at a local amusement park. That $68 they stole from me is several days of hard labor for me. I just worked for Chase. I'm a pre-med student. You would think that would be the source of my stress. Nope, it's Chase. Everyday I dread a text from them because I'm afraid they've found another reason to take my money. I feel like I work for Chase.

    I have been with Chase since they rolled over all Washington Mutual customers. I had multiple issues with the conversion, as they moved customers based on where they lived--first was the East Coast, then the mid-West, and finally, the West Coast. I lived on the East Coast and had a West Coast account. I was unable to access my accounts, make transfers, or get assistance in a timely manner. I waited out the transition, thinking that that was the worst of it.

    They then began charging for everything which brings me to today. I transferred $801.00 from Chase to another bank. I called first to ensure that if I did it using my debit card there would be no issues, and I was told that it would be treated as an ATM transaction. They did not tell me that they would be charging be a percentage of the transfer as a non-ATM cash advance. I found the charges today, and they will not be reimbursed. I will be closing all of my accounts with that company.

    My daughter, who has a debit card on our account, ordered some computer parts online. The purchase was flagged as a fraud by Chase Bank. At the time, the only response to her was the transaction did not go through. She tried again; same results. She called customer service and was told the reason was the zip code suffix was not used, so it was flagged as fraud. Her mistake.

    We went online to look at the balance, and it showed a debit pending. We asked the customer service rep about the balance and were told we had over $800.00 available. The purchase was $360.00. We replaced the order. This morning, I receive a text from the bank saying the account is overdrawn. We called customer service and were told the funds for the two purchases flagged as fraud would be available after midnight tonight. What!

    If the purchases were fraudulent, why did the money leave the account in the first place? It took a milli-second to remove the money and 2-3 days to put it back? Very unhappy about this. Where did the money go if not to the vendor? It should not have gone anywhere if a fraudulent transaction is suspected. Someone needs to explain this to me.

    I went to your Fountain Square branch in Waukegan, IL to deposit a check. But I forgot to bring my reading glasses. So I went to the counter for help and I said can you please help me to write down my information on the deposit slip. She said, “Can you wait a minute?” I said yes, I'm no hurry. While waiting I asked, “What is today’s date?” She said 2-27. So I write it down and after that I look at my ATM card.

    She said that's not your account number. I said I was just trying to read it. She said she’s ready, so I hand her my check, deposit slip and ATM card. After sliding my card she handed back to me. “Liza ** is not in the account,” she said. I answer, “How could it be? We got the same account number. Well, use my name then.” And she said why am I trying to deposit on Liza’s name and my name is Angelito? And again I said just use my name.

    The deposit slip came from my wife and she asked me to deposit it. And I also said I was just wondering why her name is not in the account. It's not here, she replied with tone on her voice. “That's okay, I said, “just use my name.” And while thinking out loud, I said, “Wow, I’m really wondering why my wife's name is not in there, because I have been depositing money and paying my mortgage under that name and account number for so long. She said she’d let take a look again. “Oh, it's here,” she said, not even apologizing after she’s done with the transaction.

They were fine with it and helped me set it up for that reason. Like I said, I had it opened for a year and out of nowhere I went to use my card just to find out that my card was not working.

    So I called to find out what the issue was and Chase informed me that my account was put on a freeze pending an investigation on my account and could not give me any information other than that. So I called back I think about two days later and then they informed my that they decided to close my account in which they could not give me any other information but that I had to wait completely until my account had closed. And then they would send me a check with my remaining balance to the address I had on file and that I still would have no access to my money until then.

    Not having access to my money when I needed resulted in issue with my company due to not having access to the money to purchase supplies for the job and also I couldn't get money to pay my employees their per diem. Also I had several direct payments coming out of the account in which they were cancelled since they couldn't get their money. Now that I waited two months for my money and still haven't received anything and making plenty of calls to them and not getting any information but just getting transferred to another department just to tell me that they have no information for me, I finally went into a branch to talk to them to find only that they sent the check to my previous address which I no longer reside at.

    First of all, I would just like to say that I have been a customer service representative for 6 years myself, and so I know how to deal with a wide range of issue, as well as attitudes. It seems Chase could not care less about the client's experience with one of their "highly qualified" banking representatives. Number one, they may be speaking English, but you can hardly understand them. If it’s not a severely thick accent, foreign or domestic (regional dialect), they mumble or speak hurriedly and you get the impression that they couldn't care less about you.

    I've called over 10 times in 10 + years as a client, and never once have I had a good or pleasant or easy experience. When you're dealing with your money, you don't want to have to decipher what someone who is getting paid to help you is saying. This last incident was the last straw.

    This gentleman, who is named Bayani **, wasn't even speaking sentences to me. He seemed distracted from the very second he answered. He didn't listen to me, because I asked a question and he answered with a question that had nothing to do with what I had just asked. I called to get an overdraft fee waived, which per signing up for an automatic NSF waiver program, should have been done automatically? But of course, no, and so I was subjected to another incompetent customer service rep. What got me hot under the collar was the fact that he put me on hold, for no reason, as his explanation was so he could "look up my account". They sit in front of a computer, don't put me on hold.

    He then returned and asked me what I wanted him to do about the fee. I just explained it’s supposed to be waived. He wasn't listening to me, and continually was laughing. Laughing, no I’m not joking. All the broken English and ignorant reps aside, this was disgusting. When I asked him why he was laughing, and if he maybe thought that it was inappropriate, he laughed some MORE and answered "No, I’m just smiling and happy." I answered, "But, you're on the phone, I can't see you smiling! Don't you think it's awfully rude of you to laugh when we're talking about my money?" This got nowhere, as he laughed some more. I thanked him for his "help", as I'm not all vinegar and told him to hurry up and get off the phone so I could complete the "customer satisfaction survey". Ha! Best part is there is no way to record a message about your personal experience with these incompetents.

    So I am here, warning you, that Chase doesn't care about its customer service team, as they sound untrained and unsupervised. I'd love to know who their supervisors are and what training they get, because it lacks basic English skills, decency and sensitivity. If I didn't need a paycheck every week, and could deal with 2-3 weeks of cashing checks whilst I pull all my money out and run for my life, I would. Chase only cares about business clientele and mortgaging your house. If you have a personal checking account, they could care less about you and your satisfaction.

I received a letter that never said why the accounts were closing and within seven to ten business days, I would receive my balance that was in the accounts. It has been thirteen business days and I have not received my money from the checking or saving accounts. I called again and the customer service rep informed me that every ACH debit transaction that takes place on the checking account delays the closing process at least 7 to 10 more business days. However none of the automatic debits (ACH) are being paid, they are returning the debits back to the consumer (refer to maker) and now, I have to wait another 7 to 10 more business days to receive my money from the accounts.

    I asked why does the ACH debit transactions have anything to do with my savings account. I suggested that they close the savings account now and send me my savings balance so I can make my monthly mortgage payment. They replied, because both accounts are attached, they will only send one check combined with any accounts that I have with them. In the meantime, my mortgage payment is late, which requires me to make a late payment fee to my mortgage company and the possibility of a negative credit rating appearance. How could Chase Bank do such a thing and get away with this theft? I don't have a problem with the closing of the accounts.

I decided to write a letter to their Customer Service Department, which I found online. The response I received was worthless. No explanation whatsoever. Today, I received another letter telling me my accounts are being closed in approximately 10 days "in accordance with your Chase deposit agreement terms and conditions". I am still left with absolutely no clue as to why they made this decision.

    I am now in acceptance that I will never be privy to this information. However, what was also included in this letter is a statement saying "Based on your account activity and its subsequent closure by Chase, we may elect to report the closure of your account and the reason for closure to ChexSystems and/or Credit Bureaus". Of course, in calling the number provided, I was given no information. I am left baffled by what Chase has elected to do and concerned about what they may elect to do as far as reporting me. I have no idea when this "incident" may or may not appear in my future financial dealings or how it may affect me nor can I defend myself for something I know nothing about.

    In October of 2011, for the first time in my life, I ordered from a company advertised on the television. The name of this company was Chef Baskets. I ordered two sets, which were supposed to be ten dollars a set, with free shipping. When I checked my bank account from Chase Bank, I was charged fifty seven dollars, and ninety six cents. I immediately called my bank, who disputed the charge, and refunded my money. It took forever, but finally i got a telephone number for Chef Baskets, and called to tell them how they had overcharged me, and I did not want their merchandise. The order got sent anyway, and I called Chef Baskets to tell them I did not want their merchandise, and demanded they sent me a return postage label, to which they said they would.

    In the meantime, Chase Bank, my bank, paid them their entire money again. My granddaughter, unbeknownst the box wasn't to be disturbed, opened the box. The contents of the box were nowhere near what I had ordered. My granddaughter said a knife had slid out of one of the boxes, so I got a money order, and put it in the box for my part of the merchandise, sealed the box, and shipped the box back per UPS. Then the company refunded me thirty dollars in December, so Chase Bank sent them a refund of another fifty seven dollars and ninety six cents. I called Chase Bank, and they refunded my account the money. Finally, I think this problem is settled, and out of the clear blue Chase Bank, refunds this rip off company another fifty seven dollars and ninety six cents today. I called the bank, and the most they will refund me is twenty seven dollars and ninety six cents. I don't feel as though any bank, nor anyone, has the right to go into your bank account, and do as they wish with your money. Chase Bank is wrong to have done this to one of their customers.

    There was fraud committed in my account on December 21, 2011, and Chase bank says they will get to the bottom by investigating. Right away, I called the police, and made a report. On 12/19/11, 3 deposits were made for the following: $5 in cash, $1,543 ,and $1,545. through a bogus check. On 12/20/11, there was a $100 charge for gas Exxon Mobil.

They have presented a completely unfounded payoff figure to Chicago Title Company claiming a pre-payment penalty is due, for which I never signed for or agreed to.

    Chase has verbally agreed that such penalty was in error and was in the process of being removed! Hence, Chase has succeeded in delaying this final denial until now, only hours before the sale closing! For the past eight months, I have had attorneys fighting Chase on this matter. Chase will not respond to attorney requests for copies of signed documents or any other form of substantiation. Additionally, they refuse to explain their method of calculation for such trumped-up figures. Chase refuses any contact with my attorneys, stating that Chase deems this a closed matter!

    On 01/29/12, I sent through online secure message center a request to close my savings account, as soon as possible. The next day (01/30/12 at 19:50PM), the reply from Chase told me to transfer all the money from that savings account to a checking account, to bring the balance to 0. I sent them another message again to request for my account to be closed.

    Also, I need to provide a reason for closing my account. I followed the instructions they gave me. A gut feeling kept telling me it is better to stop by and personally check it out. As of today, at 12:55 PM, I stopped at one of their branches on Arlington Ave. in Riverside City, just to know that my account could not be closed, because they just put another charge for $5.00, because I have a $0 balance, which is what they advised me to do.

    After I explained why that happened, and again begged for them to close my account, I was promised that it will be closed, just by calling ** tonight to double check. At 19:45H, I called and was told that my account is overdrawn for $5.00, and I have to clear it up before I could close it, or I might end up facing collections. The lady, Nivea, described herself as a supervisor (because another telephone banker did not have enough "power" to deal with this situation), kept refusing to close my account. She may credit the fee, but she can't promise that I will not be charged again, as long as my account is still open with zero balance.

    In addition, I have to either personally go to any of their branches, or call back to re-confirm closing my account, which means there will be tomorrow, and another tomorrow, and and so on. When they think they have harassed me enough, that will be the time they can close my savings account. Frustrations in conversation led to a big argument.

    The lady abandoned the phone. The bank announced that they are no longer accepting my phone calls. I can prove my story with all the messages I'm saving on my file, as proof for future legal action. I used to do banking with Washington Mutual before it was sold to Chase. Washington Mutual Bank was not this bad.

    I started shopping in or about midsummer for my new home. I consulted with a Chase representative for my home loan. I had a pre-approval letter for the loan amount I was requesting. In late August, I had a job offer. I consulted with my Chase representative if it was okay to transfer while looking or buying this house. She said it's okay so I proceeded to transfer.

    Meanwhile, I paid for $1000 for earnest money, $450 for house appraisal fee and $500 for house inspections. Second to last day before closing, Chase denied my loan due to my job transfer because I did not have enough job history while my old job I had five years plus. If I would have known this, I would have waited at my old job to get my new home. To add more fuel to the fire, I went to different lender and were able to approve my loan and restart the whole process. I just want to know who is going to pay for the lost money.

    We originally got the loan for our house through a local lending company. That company sold our mortgage to J.P. Morgan and Chase. In August of 2010, due to the same hard times half of this country are going through, we filed for a loan modification. We got the run-around for twelve months, constantly making us fax them the same information over,and over, and over. During this time, we were doing everything we could possibly do to scrape together every last dime we could, to make sure we didn't lose our home (the roof over my three children's heads).

    In August of 2011, our representative from Chase told us the modification was declined because we had not yet fallen behind on our mortgage. The representative then instructed us to stop making our mortgage payments and concentrate on paying off credit cards, because this would help the process and the representative would then re-submit the modification in three months. They did, just as they said they would and re-submitted the modification.

    We spent the last three months waiting to find out what's going on, with the representative telling us that it was in the underwriters' hands and all we could do is wait. Just to find out that they denied our modification, and are now foreclosing on our home because we're 6 months behind. Then they tell us we can bring it out of foreclosure, if we agree to make payments almost equal to double our mortgage payment, which is just over $1,000.00 for eight months. There is something very fishy going on here, and someone needs to do something to shut these "terrorists" down!

    This is in regard to a refinance I thought I was doing for my home with JP Chase Mortgage. My current mortgage has been with Chase for over 10 years. I have never been late on a single mortgage payment. I have an extremely high FICO credit score of 794. The refinance I was attempting to do was for $71,500. The value of the house based on their numbers was $208,000. Hence, a 30% loan-to-value refinance (a no-brainer for a competent lender). Our combined income is around $85,000. I paid Chase a $395 application fee for what they stated would be a "low doc loan". They stated that this would be an easy process since I had so much equity, a high FICO score and almost no other debt (i.e. no car loans or revolving debt, just two pieces of rental property that I also have tons of equity in).

    Application was made on September 5, 2011. Today is January 24, 2012, almost five months later and the refinance is still not done. This supposed "low doc" refinance is nothing short of fraud! I have provided everything that Chase has requested (many times in duplicate because of their incompetence to keep track of their own paperwork). The Chase representatives I have been working were Betsy ** and Brian **. They never take telephone calls and for the most part, do not answer emails.

    In addition to the $395 application fee I was charged, they cost me another $500 per year by having me increase insurance coverages on the subject property to values that are absurd. I have spent hours satisfying their every request, but I still have no refinance. I wish I had searched the internet regarding customer satisfaction as it relates to JP Chase Mortgage. If so, I would have found that hundreds and thousands of customers and potential customers have received the same extremely poor service that I have received.

    As I have stated earlier, I have a stellar credit score and 70% equity in my home. My credit file is absolute text book! I will be leaving Chase Mortgage soon and will be canceling the two Chase credit cards I have with these scammers. I would advise everyone that might be considering a mortgage or refinance with Chase to learn from my experience and do some searching on the internet about Chase Mortgage customer satisfaction. There appears to be none! The folks at Chase are completely incompetent. This should have been the easiest refinance ever but instead, they just took our $400 and we got nothing but a 5-month headache! Thank you. Steve in Tennessee.

    I have been banking with WaMu since I moved to California in 2005. Never once had I had a problem, not once. We got a auto loan when it was still WaMu and we had no problem paying our loan through transfers from our checking account. Then wonderful old Chase takes over. At first, it wasn't that bad; we had a few transactions that were reordered and caused overdrafting, which was corrected really quick. Then the fun started.

    Every month, we pay our auto loan on the 8th of the month by transferring from our checking account. We did have it set up for automatic every month until we started waking up seeing 2 payments being transferred. So I cancelled that real quick. Even though we cancelled the auto transfer, Chase bank still took payments and said that we set them up. Now I know that we didn't. There was a month back in 10-2011 where we had to pay a highly unexpected medical bill for a child. We knew that we wouldn't be able to make our car payment that month and so we called Chase to ask for a deferment. They denied us, and so we just didn't pay, knowing we would get a fee and we didn't care.

    I woke up and see that although I cancelled the transfer, they took it anyway. Then they said that to refund it, it would take 3-5 business days. Then the next day another transfer went through which they said I scheduled. I know my husband and I didn't do it because we didn't have the money, and had rent due that was more important than the car payment.

    So he bottom line is, for the past 9 months, I have had 2 unauthorized transfers every month on my account to the loan, and they refuse to say they are setting up the additional transfer. And that it's my fault, and when the transfers overdraft me, I get told that I should watch my spending. I stop overspending money that I don't have. I do not like Chase bank; they are thieving liars who care about their money and not about what's right.

And various phone calls on SPKR, with a witness, the reps of Chase contradicted themselves and said the other and branches were in error. I also deposited almost 3x the minimum amount to avoid fees and still was charged fees. After my loud complaint at a local branch, the fees were removed.

    They explained why my loan payments increased. It was because of a loan payment deferral, which states the deferred amount was due at maturity, my payment went up to compensate for the deferred amounts, as so told to me by Chase. I told them of the pending lawsuit of fraud.

    Do not call these **. Do not expect an answer. I have recorded names and dates, and I have had a witness listen to some return calls in which contradictory statements are made.

With this information I was assured that I would have my home loan approved.

    I also received a counter offer stating Chase could offer me a mortgage on changed terms and conditions. This letter gave me hope. Not until I pressed the issue with Ms. Rochelle ** at which time I was informed that my loan was not approved because one of the owners of the Bridgewater Landing Complex owns 10% of the condos and its a requirement in the HARPs loan that no one can own 10% of the residence in a complex, thereby making me ineligible to qualify for a HARP loan. Approximately four days later I received a letter informing me that I would not be able to obtain a new loan from Chase. This was very disappointing news to me.

    Their conclusion is bogus as with previous disputes that I filed because an investigation takes at least ten days as they told me before. Plus they find all kind of excuses not to accept my dispute or lie to me that they will. I don't know what kind of actions you can take against Chase Bank, but I am very angry and I will take any actions to be justified. After all, Chase Bank like the rest proved on 2008 that they are criminal enterprises with the help of the government.

    For 3 years I have submitted paperwork to Chase for a loan modification. It was the same stuff over and over. They always claim I have no proof of employment, even though my employer at his expense has sent lengthy and complete records of my payroll. I have sent tax returns for the last 3 years. They will not accept any payments, even though they set a lower one and accepted 3 at first. I did not get a summons to appear for court hearing and short of the limit of 6 months on the complaint without my knowing foreclosed and got a judgment for the balance due and order to sell my home. During that time and as little as 2 weeks ago, they were still sending me notices that I must act quickly before my modification application expires.

    When Chase took over from WAMU, my free-checking that was a requirement of my home equity line began costing $12/month (plus the interest rate bumped up 1/2%). No checks provided, no ATM card, and the bank is now hundreds of miles away. I attempted to contact Chase numerous times about the fees and closing the account, but was unable to do so due to the automatic payment. No one ever returned my calls from Chase. On Dec. 19th, I closed the account and they state they mailed me the check. As of 1/9/12, I have nothing, have made 6 phone calls, now they are telling me they have to stop pay the check and it will be 10 more working days.

    This bank is horrible. Since they bought out WAMU, we have gotten 3 letters on intent to foreclose. They take our checks, cash them , then hold it. They have ** up (their part not ours), then we have to pay for their mistakes. We are going to find a new mortgage company. They keep wanting more and more on a fixed rate. Helping those who have fought for our country is a joke. They are helping in trying to take our home. Monthly mortgages paid , we have never been late, yet you cash our checks, then hold it in suspense? I don't think that is even legal. Too bad you got bailed out, in order to take people's homes. I normally am not a mean person, but I have had enough.

    The last foreclosure letter we got, you cashed our check again, when we called, you said someone in your company opened up our account, and made the rates lower. Good, but we have to pay again for your mistakes. We end up paying more and more for a fixed rate. They cash our checks, send us foreclosure letters, then say "well, you owe us this much". So, it makes it even harder for us, because the company is not organized. Seems almost like a predatory lending. If I had my choice, I would have left long ago. I should have sold the house before. We would have lost $50,000 if we sold it now. Chase is not helpful. The customer service people are clueless.

    On four different occasions, Chase Bank has chosen to ignore the instructions on their own deposit slips. This is a small household account so the balance is kept low. My funds come from another account at the same branch. That account's funds come from a commercial account at the same branch. Still, funds are not posted as cash as I request, even when I note with arrows pointing to the appropriate line and detailed instructions.

    I have chosen to only keep the account open now to cash checks and I deposit nothing. Chase has repeatedly refused to correct the situation with their tellers, saying that too many people misunderstand the line on the deposit slips so tellers come to ignore it. I have been told that in order to ensure that the deposit is done correctly I must come into the bank (not drive-up) and supervise the teller. This has caused me public embarrassment when the funds aren't available due to an incorrect posting as well as the inconvenience of each time going bank to the bank to get it fixed.

    We have a joint checking account with Chase and my husband has a business line of credit also with Chase. My husband lost his job and is behind in his payments. Two days ago, Chase took it upon themselves without permission to take the money from our joint account to pay the business line of credit. They arrogantly stated that they had this right, "We do it because we can" was their response when asked what gave them them right. My husband spoke with someone from chase the day before this happened and they gave no warning they would do this.

    By doing this, they made it impossible for us to make our mortgage payment (also with Chase) as the money they took was set aside for the mortgage payment. We now, not only cannot make the mortgage payment, but are short on money for food purchases. I will now close the joint account with Chase and move it to another bank. I am shocked that after two decades of a good checking/home loan relationship with them they would do such an underhanded thing with no warning and such a cavalier attitude.

    This is with regards to my small business debit card. On the morning of December 30, I received an account alert email of the balance on my account. I noted that my Chase QuickPay payment had posted and recorded it on my spreadsheet. Later that day, I used my debit card, with pin, to complete a transaction.

    When I checked my email later that day, I received notice that my account was overdrawn by $12.78. I immediately emailed Chase to inquire about this and asked if it would incur an overdraft fee and why. I also noted on my account page that even though the account balance showed there are sufficient funds, there was a small line that indicated an item had been put on hold, it was the Quick Pay payment. I did not hear back from them but of course that evening an overdraft fee was charged. I again emailed them and inquired as to why the account balance alert had not indicated a hold, why the transaction was allowed to go through, and that I would like it reversed as bank error.

    This morning, I received the most inappropriate answer:

    "We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the account ending 5937, and we understand your concern. I am happy to assist you today.

    In regards to your inquiry, transactions are processed at Chase's discretion. If the item is approved, it will overdraw the account and incur a $34 insufficient funds fee. If the item is declined, it will receive a $34 returned item fee.

    Chase offers Overdraft Protection to assist in ensuring that items are covered when they?re presented for payment against your checking account. Overdraft Protection can be established with a Chase savings account, line of credit account or credit card account to avoid an insufficient funds or extended overdraft fee.

    Overdraft protection transfers are made to your checking account in increments of $50. Please note, that there is no fee to establish or maintain this service. A $12 overdraft protection transfer fee is deducted from your checking account at the end of the business day. The Overdraft Protection advances funds in $50 increments. If the $50 increment isn't available, the protection will advance the amount needed to cover overdrawn amount and fees if available.

    We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and provide excellent customer service. Thank you for being our customer. Please e-mail us through the Secure Message Center while you are logged on to chase.com, or call us at 1-800-935-9935, if you have any question"

    The transaction would not have incurred a fee if it had been returned, it would have simply been denied at the POS. If it had been a paper check, yes by all means it would be my error but it was not. There is either something lacking in their system or as I read this to mean, Chase decided to let the transaction be approved so they could charge me the fee and sell their overdraft protection which I do not want. I would prefer they deny my transaction if the funds are held. I also would like to be made aware that they are held and not receive misleading emails.

    Did someone even actually read my email before they plugged in some code for a standard answer? Is this what they deem "excellent" customer service?

I called their fraud department and they showed no intelligence and no sign of caring that this is happening. They said the charges had to post before they could remove it and for me to just call back when it posted. I told them that it was for an amount more than what was in the account. They said that I would have to deposit more money to cover it so I wouldn't be charged any overage fees and then they would refund it in 10-12 days after they review the charges.

    They wanted me to call the places where the card was used and ask them why they charged my card. I told them, “No, you need to cancel my current debit card before the thief could use it again and investigate the theft of my money.” They agreed to cancel my card but told me I should be more responsible for my money (like they didn't really believe me) and they would send it only as regular mail, so I won't have access to my account for 10-12 days anyway. Then, they asked if there was anything else because they can't do anything for me until the charges clear and then hung up. I went online and more fraudulent charges are now pending. This is insane.

    10 Reasons why not to bank with Chase:

    1. They have the highest overdraft fees. Their computers analyze your spending patterns, and will delay transactions in order to maximize overdraft fees. They make billions a year in overdraft fees.

    2. I started a C-corp venture backed start up, and banked with Chase. I had $2,000,000 in deposits with Chase, and they wanted a personal guarantee on corporate credit cards, and any business lines of credit. We subsequently raised over $10,000,000, the business is taking off, and we are now banking with Square One, that had no such requirements, and are very start up friendly.

    3. I had problems with auto-pay one month, and was two weeks late on my mortgage payment (first time ever), and received a foreclosure notice.

    4. Bernie ** banked with Chase, and Chase failed to warn regulators of irregular banking activity.

    5. I have a friend with a 750 credit score that needed a 30% LTV loan on a free and clear property, to pay off a tax lien, and they said he needed to pay the lien off first. In other words, they only loan you money, when you don't need it.

    6. The people in the bank's branches are friendly people, but even they can't control or understand the Chase computer systems. The computers run the company, not the people. For example, people in the bank branch couldn't explain why the computer put a 3 day hold on a Chase check that I deposited from someone else, that was good. I made them refund the overdraft fees that were caused by having insufficient funds, due to the check being on hold. Why couldn't they verify funds immediately. It was a Chase check and it took three days!

    7. Based on my research, Chase credit card interest rates are the highest in the industry.

    8. Chase has one of the largest funded lobbyist groups in Washington. Chase received $25B in bailout funds, when they didn't need it, and used it to increase profitability; borrow at 0%, and ** the consumer and small businesses with more than 15% loans.

    9. Chase spent $7.4 billion lobbying Washington in 2010, and has spent $5.8 billion year to date in 2011. Whoever banks with Chase, is paying for this in higher interest rates and fees. This is disgusting.

    10. Chase is setting up branches, like mushrooms, to siphon off as many consumer dollars as possible. Then use the dollars to fund lobbyists, and fund big Wall Street Banking. They are no help to small businesses. The only small businesses that can borrow money from Chase are the ones that don't need it. Close your account today and show them who has the power.

For 3 years straight (!) the HO insurance send my documents to a wrong address, even though for 2 years, they have had the right address and phone number, and the HO insurance was cancelled. Then they want to charge your escrow, which is three times the amount of insurance, that they pick for you.

    School taxes weren't paid last year. I got a letter from the Tax Department, that I owe the past due, plus interest and late charges, or they will put a lien on the property. I had to do all the legwork and many calls to their tax department and tax bureau. I finally got a case number, and still was charged the late fee, even though it wasn't my fault (escrow has all of my money in it). Mortgage borrowers, beware of this company. Do not finance a loan through Chase. I tried to get out of this company 2 years ago, with a refinance, and I expressively told the third party lender. I did not want Chase, but guess what, they lied to me, and the loan again was financed by Chase, and I even had to pay extra fees to avoid this. Beware of this fraudulent company!

    I will party like no other, when my loan is finally paid off, and I am released from Chase.

To make matters worse, the last five purchases I made before the hold was placed each charged me a thirty four dollar insufficient funds fee, even though the money was technically there.

I tried to no avail to find someone that understood or sympathized with what I was trying to explain.

    I opened an account with Chase bank in August of 2010 on their website, because they were giving you a $100, if you were a new customer. Being dissatisfied with the bank I was using, I decided to switch to them. I went through all the procedures, and opened my account, it was during the time that they had to have you sign for over draft protection. I opted out of it, because I did not want them covering purchases in my account, if I did not have the funds to do so. I also did not want them to be able to charge me the fees for covering them as well.

    During Feb. of 2011 I filed my income tax, and decided to put it in another bank, because I was not very satisfied with Chase. I left about $30 in my account, and started using the other account that my income tax was in. One of the agreements you had to fulfill when you opened an account and received the $100 credit was, to have your account active for at least 6 months, so a little after my 6th month (in mid-March), I transferred my direct deposit to my other bank. I knew I still had money in my Chase account, so I figured I would go in to my local branch and close it. Unfortunately, I had some circumstance that prevented me to get in there right away.

    In May of 2011 I received a notice stating I owed them $660, with no explanation, or bill attached. They were saying that this was their final attempt, and that it would be sent to another agency for collections (this was the first thing I had received from them saying I owed them money). I called and spoke with a representative to get an idea of what was going on. She, in turn, was very rude, and not a lot of help. She just kept demanding that I pay it before they "take legal action". I was very upset to say the least. I called back again a few days later. The man I spoke to then was a little nicer (not by much), and a little more helpful (not by much as well). He told me they were charging me for not using my debit card, and not making a direct deposit.

    I mentioned that I had left $30 in my account, and that it hadn't even been two months since I stopped using my card, or doing direct deposit, so there was no way that it would accumulate to $660. His response to that was, I supposedly went overdraft, but couldn't tell me what, or how much the purchase was. I told him there was no way I could have been overdraft, because I never signed up for that service, nor did I make any purchases after I left the $30 in the account. He was not any help after that. I told him there was no way I would pay that, and that I wanted a statement of the charges.

    I never received any statement providing a reason why I would owe that, all I received thereafter was a collection bill from some collection company in New Jersey, since they have "signed" my account over to collections. They have transferred my account over to about 5 different collection companies. I assume they are doing this to make my credit score go down, since it's showing new negative debts on my report every few months, I have tried disputing this debt, and have not received any positive results. I am very disgusted with Chase bank. this has affected me greatly because of this. If I chose to leave my bank I could not get an account elsewhere (they put me in the Telecheck), nor can I get approved for other stuff as well. I refuse to pay for something that I do not owe. I have talked to other consumers, and I am definitely not the only one this has happened to. I would never refer anybody to Chase bank, not even my worst enemy!

    This is the worst bank ever. I called to get a forbearance on my student loan. My husband lost his job, and I don't have the money to pay, until I can get him on Social Security Disability, or he finds a job that can accommodate his injuries. I begged and begged, and they said no. I fall below the poverty line with my salary, and we will be losing our home, unless he can make enough on disability to save our home. Their excuse was that I do not qualify for a forbearance. How do I not qualify?

    I don't know what they are going to do to me. 2 years ago, when I was paying for payment protection plan on all my credit cards, they refused to help when my husband was on life support, and said I was to use my credit cards to pay my other credit cards. So we did have to file for bankruptcy, no thanks to them. But now that I am below the poverty line, why can't I get a forbearance on my student loans? Why? How do I not qualify? Will they garnish my wages? If they do that, then how do I feed my family?

    I recently opened a new checking account with Chase earlier this week, motivated by the $125 online coupon only to find out my account would not honor the $125 coupon. The reason so is due to incorrect information explained to me by the new accounts representative. After stating to him that I left the coupon at home and would be happy to retrieve it seeing as I just moved across the street, he proceeded to tell me, "That wouldn't be necessary, you have seven days to bring it in from the time you open your account." So to my disappointment, that was not the case when I returned with the coupon this morning. Apparently, the coupon is only valid at the time of opening the account as oppose to what the rep. stated.

    Obviously, this misinformation was at the fault of the bank rep. So why must I feel left in the cold? This is an unfortunate way to begin a new relationship with a bank. Leaving your new client feeling misled and you not trusting is simply deceiving and unprofessional.

    I used Quickpay to send $1,000 to my son on 11/15/11. That was fine. But, the next day (16th), Chase made another $1,000 payment (overdrawing my account and incurring overdraft fees). Then, on the 17th, they sent an email saying they were reversing their error. However, their reversal was not done correctly and made another $1,000 payment (three total) further worsening the issue and the fees. How negligent, incompetent and careless can a financial institution be before consumers switch to something better.

    Instead of a single $1,000 payment, Chases' errors made three $1000 payments, overdrawing my bank account and racking up overdraft charges. Their attempt to fix the problem actually made things worse. And they were completely clueless until I called and pointed out their double mistake.

    The ultimate consequence is that this issue is not the only issue I have had in the past two months and I can no longer trust Chase with my financial transactions.

    I am not in the habit of wasting my time, but this deserves some prompt attention. After being your customer for many years, I have come to the conclusion that we are not on the same team and I bank with robbers. I was forgiving when you kept denying me a credit card, but you made amends by sending me one with a horrible interest rate. Nevertheless, I remained a customer. I told you that since I have been banking with you, I have purchased a home, sent 2 children to college and gone myself for the last 2 years and bought 3 cars. You have not been a part of any of those transactions. You would not provide/loan me a dime, even though my history shows I pay my debts. Whatever! Now, you have taken your last insufficient fund fee from me and gotten on my last nerve.

    Last week, I received a letter that you paid a fee for an amount that was withdrawn from my account. The amount was $8.25. The charge took place on 11/3/11 I was told. I just started a new job after relocating from IL to Arizona. I did not even have that amount in my account. So I got the letter stating you paid it and I took $34.00. A few days later, after trying to remember what I may have purchased, I called the bank because I did not recognize the amount. I know I had not spent that amount because I did not have much money. So I called to find out what was going on. When I called the first time, the person on the phone suggested I call the merchant. So I did. The only information, your employee said, that was associated with the amount was, AD and D and had a telephone number. I was unable to get onto the internet at work so I had to take her word for it.

    So today, 11/10/11, I called the merchant number given and the person who picked up the phone said Chase. I asked, what did you say? He would not repeat it. He just asked how he could help me. I told him I need to know the name of the company and he was insistent on who I was and my information. Finally, he told me he was a third party billing company for financial institutions. I said, you mean a bank? He said yes. I told him the problem of the money being deducted from my account unauthorized and he said I had been a member since 2001. I did not know what he was talking about. I told him I don't know who you are, but I have not signed up for anything. He said that my bank had me enrolled in their insurance. I told him I don't have any documentation authorizing any such thing and shouldn't I have received some paperwork or an insurance policy? He told me to call the bank.

    So I called the Chase main number and asked for the dispute department. Chase said they don't do insurance and suggested that I close the account. I said that would be fine except, I am going to pay my mortgage tomorrow through the bank. I will need to close the account once that transaction happens. I barely had enough to cover the balance of the mortgage in the first place, but thanks to all of this I now had even less. I called the third party billing company back and told them to cancel me out of their system. It is amazing how I was able to do it over the telephone real easy. I also asked them the dates that had been billed. They said they bill quarterly and they told me May, August and November and I could count backwards from there. I was thinking, how did I not notice this charge for all those years? Now, I don't remember seeing this charge on my account so I called Chase back.

    Let me just mention that during this time, I got disconnected twice and no one bothered to call me back. Chase did tell me they didn't see any billing prior to February 2011. The lady I was speaking to was Michelle. I told Michelle I would like to file a claim and I want the insufficient fees reversed. Michelle was professional and told me (listen to this) I should read my statement more carefully (okay, I will take that) and that the first charge of $8.25 happened in February and at that time, I had 60 days to inform the bank. Now that it is November and I am just finding out about the charge the insufficient fee stands and the only thing I will get back is $8.25 from the first charge in February. I was outraged, pissed, shocked and disgusted! So this third party billing company that states that you hired them to enroll people into an insurance program gets to keep the money. No questions asked, no repercussion.

    How in the ** does this figure out? The third party billing (who is possibly hired by Chase) gets $24.75 of my money and chase makes $34.00, while I got robbed. You people are a riot! Tell me how this works for the customer and why I should accept this or continue to allow you to handle my money (while I look up the number for WGN, CNN channel 12 news, BBB and whoever else will listen)? It may not seem like much to you but it is my money, it is the principal it was taken without my knowledge by some bogus company that seems to have a lot of my (banking) information that claims they were hired by my financial institution which is you. I now believe the third party billing company and believe that Chase employs trifling thieves. I will be closing my account immediately!

    This is not the first time you have screwed up, but it will be the last time you'll screw me. I still have to deal with the problems you caused when last month, I did a $1700 QuickPay transaction to my husband and the money was missing for a day. We did it on a Friday morning and the money mysteriously showed up a day later. But when we called, we were told it takes one business day. You liars! We do QuickPay transactions all the time using your system and never had it take a day, except for the other time you screwed up. Then we were told there was nothing that could be done until Monday. We were in the middle of moving and my husband was in a U-Haul truck in the middle of the night unable to get a hotel room because we had no more money.

    Unfortunately, my husband had to suffer once again for what continues to be ongoing ** with Chase. Now, it is time you face your errors. Even your lying commercials make it seems that QuickPay happens at the touch of a button. This was not the first time you all ** up, it was the 2nd. The first time, the money was in limbo for a week. Imagine that a QuickPay took a week. I keep getting a lot of **, excuses and keep getting screwed but not a phone call, no apology. Nothing, zero. You are costing me too much to bank with you. Sanity and peace is too much to pay! You need to make all of this right! You all **!

Today, I called to make a monthly payment. They won't accept it because, according to them, we are 4 months behind.

    The customer service representative that was working our loan modification application is not working it anymore - no one is. One agent told me that we haven't made a payment since July. I kept asking all of the four agents I was transferred to, what should I do? No one had an answer. After 2 hours of the run around, they hung up on me. I don't really know what to do?

    I lost my direct deposit when I lost my job. Now I have to make 6 purchases on my debit card to prevent a $6 charge to my bill. "So I have to spend money to prevent you from charging me," I asked the Chase representative on the phone. She laughed and said, "They can be small purchases, like a candy bar or a pack of gum.

    I have a credit card with Chase, and every time I pay a major part of it off, I get a notice that they are lowering the amount I can use to well below the original amount. I make payments above the minimum by $200 per month, and now only owe $3000, which I will pay off by the end of the year. Chase can have their card back. I will never do business with a back that took bail out money and does not treat the customer better. My other cards have not changed and the Credit Union treats me the best. I recommend that everyone move to a CU for great service.

    Chase was contacted and they stated my credit score was the reason for the reduction in my rating. So how come a rating of 712 is considered bad and an income of $180,000 plus is considered not good enough. I will be dropping Chase when the card is paid off.

    Overall experience is terrible. I had an traditional IRA CD with Chase in Miami, FL. I wanted to renew it, and I went to the Brickell Branch on 800 SW 8 St., Miami, FL. When I arrived, a Chase investment employee greeted me, and I told him I wanted to renew my IRA CD. He lied to me, giving misleading information, and he placed the money into an investment account--bonds and mutual funds were tied to the stock market.

    I called the manager and the supervisor to complain of what was given to me without proper explanation, once I received the statement the following month in September 30, 2011. The account (annuities) was opened on August 31, 2011; the retirement investment account on July 25, 2011. When I called the financial person from JPMorgan Chase Bank to question him regarding my accounts losing money, his answer was that he explained it to me, and that it was his word against mine. His name is Julio **, and I would like to request an investigation to that respect. If I cancel the accounts now, I will be losing around $4,000 due to his misleading information.What he did without explanation was unethical and illegal.

    On October 5-6, 2011, I wire transferred money to beneficiaries of my late wife's estate. Three of them live in Canada. At the time of submitting the requests, I was advised that wires to Canada can only go out in Canadian dollars and not US dollars. I wanted to send the money in US dollars, since the Canadian accounts were in US dollars. With no options offered at that time, I went ahead with the wire transfers at $45 per transfer. A few days later, two of the beneficiaries contacted me, saying that the money they received was substantially lower by over 4 percent than the original amount sent.

    It turns out that Chase had to reconvert the money going to Canada from Canadian dollars back to US dollars. And in the process, it added a 4 percent fee. I contacted the banker who made the wire transfers to Canada. She told me that a special request can be made at the time of the wire transfer to Canada to send the money out in US dollars. Why wasn't I given this option at the time of the transfers? I promised my wife's nieces and nephew in Canada that I would make up the difference, but this whole transaction has me very upset.

    This omission by Chase is going to cost me over $1,500. And I plan to close my Chase accounts and move the funds to our county credit union.

    On May 27 2011, I by myself started a loan application with Chase Bank. Thirty days later after revising the whole application, they requested me to add a co-borrower because I don't meet the length of employment which was 2 years. So, I added my father-in-law as co-borrower. Because they can't process an application in a short period of time they denied it and asked me to re-apply in order to continue with the adjudication of the loan, which I did. Once seller and I agreed to continue, the appraisal report came with so many errors.

    On July 29 I submitted to Chase bank Addendum No. 2, which states that commitment period is Aug 2 and closing date August 30, so I can continue with the process on getting a commitment approval to close the deal. Because there were FHA contingencies, Chase was unable to process the application so they asked me to request an extension period.

    Between Sept 16 and 20, I submitted the requirements. Then, I called to confirm that the underwriter got right what he asked me, the response to that call was yes, everything was okay. Once I completed with the requirements, Mr. ** advise me that they would need 48 hours to get me an update of the underwriter's decision, such event never happened. From Sept 20, I was calling almost every day to get an update and check that everything I submit was accurate.

    On Sep 30, 2011, which was the deadline to get a commitment approval, early in the afternoon, Mr. Taj ** called and advised me that he still did not have an update of the loan application and asked me if I want the denied letter. An hour later Mr. Taj ** called and notified me that the underwriter couldn't even look at the application because still there are missing documents. After arguing with Chris on why the underwriter had been waiting until the last minute to notify me that he still needed more documents, he told me the requirement verbally, but I asked him to please send me an email letting me know what documents he needed were so I can provide the right ones. He did not send it. Still, I submitted those immediately.

    On Tuesday morning Oct 4, I called Mr. Chris ** again. He said he apologized he didn't call me because the underwriter still hadn't looked at my file but he promised me to revise it that morning. He said he would call by noon but of course, he did not call me. Neither has he given me positive news. Around 2:45 pm I called him and he said my loan has been denied.

    I really worked hard to get this loan approval. I did everything I could, I was diligent. I provided all the requirements on time. I worked with the bank and gave them as many extension of time they needed, so they do not have to rush or make a poor decision. I kept track with my local branch daily, that everything has been submitted on time and accurate. I cooperated as much as I could just to get a fair result. But what I received was an unprofessional, inaccurate, and lazy job. The application was on the underwriter desk for a week before he or she realized that there was something missing.

    It should also be noted "re: abusive overdraft policies", that Chase has made it almost impossible to escape an overdraft fee by limiting the ways that a customer can transfer money into the account to prevent the charge. When Quickpay was first introduced, my family used it often to transfer funds from one Chase account to another. The transfers were always completed within just a few hours time. Now, they are refusing to credit an account with a transfer on the same business day, even transfers between two Chase accounts which is a simple and straightforward process. They are also refusing to do telephone transfers between Chase accounts, which I used to do fairly regularly in the past. The only option that you have with Chase if you have an overdraft is to drive to the bank and make a direct deposit. And even then, there is no guarantee that they will clear the deposit in time to cover the overdraft and avoid the fee. I have seen them hold deposits to generate a fee on more than one occasion.

This was because I found out afterwards that Chase does not use the market rate for incoming wire transfers of foreign currencies but a bank exchange rate that is completely arbitrary and corresponds to a 4% commission. Is this legal?

One person lost $1147 in a single transaction because of Chase's arbitrary bank rate.

    I have had what was supposed to be the "Totally Free Checking" account with Chase bank (aka Bank ONE) since June 2004. The account was "Free" with the "Automatic Deposit" of my State of Michigan Pension checks, which are deposited between the 20th and 25th of each month.

    Many monthly statements received from Chase do not reflect transactions or deposits on the 25th of the month and, in fact, begin on the 26th or 28th and end on the 24th of the month. Which frequently results in one statement reflecting two deposits and others reflecting no automatic deposits during the statement cycle.

    The August 2011 reflects that Chase is going to start charging a "Monthly Service Fee" if no "Direct Deposit" is posted "During" the "Statement Period". In fact, my August 2011 statement (June 28, 2011 through August 24, 2011) clearly states "You did not have a direct deposit this statement period." This means State of Michigan Pension recipients (retired teachers, civil service and/or state of Michigan employees) will get screwed into paying a "Monthly Service Fee" every time Chase issues a "monthly statement" that does not reflect the transactions that occur (ed) on the 25th of the month... What the ** kind of ** is this?

    Also, in 2009 (despite my excellent credit and payment history) Chase made my "Home Equity" line of credit unavailable to me, yet has continued to charge me an annual $50 fee for an account I can no longer access... and no, I never used half of the $25,000 "line of credit" available to me, so Chase could not claim I abused-overused-or was in any way a risk when it came to that account.

He has worked with lawyers in IL to get the will filed and accepted by the county. The will was filed in the appropriate county and they declared that it met the requirements of a small estate. As such, my husband supplied the approved document for DuPage County to Chase Bank.

    Chase, after claiming that they needed cards signed and notarized by both my husband and I (since I'm the back-up executor if something happens to him), is now saying that the paperwork is not correct (that a line is not complete with a list of potential recipients), and they will not release the funds!

    What is ironic is that the money is going to pay the undertaker and is then being awarded to a clergy member to ease his retirement. The deceased had no children. Her husband died 40 years ago and has only nieces and nephews. None of these people are named to receive money except for my husband (and I) and the clergy member. My husband and I are to receive a nominal amount for dealing with the estate and handling many of her monetary/tax issues over the past 10 years. The clergy member receives the rest after the bills are paid.

    Chase is making a federal case over a small amount of money (won't answer calls from our local attorney) and keeps sending both the attorney and my husband to different departments. It is behavior beyond belief and is stressing my husband out. Since he already had by-pass surgery, I'm concerned that the stress is not doing him any good. Does anyone with experience of Chase's legal department or with this type of issue have any advice?

    On August 19th, my daughter's teenage account was $763.00 over so we went to this branch to find out what happened on August 23rd. The bank manager treated us like this was our mistake when it was the bank who put this amount of money in her account from George **'s account who lives in Florida. So, they changed her account number then charged her account $25.00 for new checks.

    She was trying to be honest and to do the right thing but now her account is overdrawn because of this. Plus, we have had to spend two hours of our time visiting this bank to try and get this problem straightened out. Why does she have to pay for new checks and change her bank account number for a mistake that this bank has made? We are very unhappy with this bank and with the treatment that we received from them, when all we did was try to be honest.

    We were swindled into an interest only (neg am) loan with a cap back in 2007. We specifically told the loan officer that there was no way we would do one of those loans. We were told it was a 10 year interest only loan and would adjust after 5 years. We were unaware of the cap and were told that we were paying 5.99%. I have truth in lending and emails stating that from the management broker. We found out we were actually paying 7.99% with the 2% difference being added to the principal every month. We also found out about the cap the hard way in February 2011, when our payments jumped to $1000. This occurred after only 4 years and 2 months. Making the minimum payment, there is no way this would have ever been a 10 year interest only loan due to the cap.

    So, since we couldn't afford the new payment, we called Chase to see what could be done. They were uninterested in hearing about the truth in lending and other documents that proved we were sold something other than what we had been told.

    They offered to do a loan modification. They said we needed to be behind on payments and said they would send the packet. We waited - no packet. I called multiple times. After about the 5th call, they told me that they don't send them out and I needed to download it. Once it was filled out, it was processed rather quickly. That's because they raised our payment on our modification! People, they aren't going to lose your paperwork when they are raising your payments. That is for sure! They also added $60k to the principal (we are already $150k upside down before this) and offered us a 30 year fixed rate of 7.99% on a home we will never be able to sell and never be able to refinance.

    Wow what a help! They offered us a higher payment - a horrible interest rate about 3% points over market and increased our principal even more. When I called to inquire, they said it was based on our income and we could afford it!

    Chase does not want to help. They have done nothing to help. They send letters stating they want to help, but when I call, they say I have to pay everything in full. That is the only option.

    Here is the real kicker. I read through my note and realized that at 5 years, my payment adjusts to Libor plus 50% that currently will be about 2.75%, so my payment will dramatically decrease on October. Had they told me that to begin with, I would not have let my house go into foreclosure. Now, I have late fees, attorney's fees, etc. Shouldn't they have had fiduciary responsibility to tell me that?

    So, I called them and advised them that once my payment lowers in October, I can make the payment. I just can't make the 20k in back payments for the past 7 months, at least not all of it. I was told that I had to wait until September 1 to see what my new payment would be with the new lower interest rate and then we could try and get it reinstated.

    About two weeks later, they served foreclosure notices on me. Also, I noticed that the foreclosure notices all say Wells Fargo. It looks like my loan was sold/assigned to Wells Fargo the same date they filed the foreclosure papers.

    I don't know what that is about and who I am even supposed to try and deal with now. It's so frustrating. I will never deal with Chase on any level in the future.

    While getting unemployment payment, I was sent a debit card from Chase Bank. In April, I took some money out and there was a $17.00 left in . I thought I should get the rest out, so I went to the bank and she stated that the card was expired of which I didn't know. She told me to apply for a new one, so I called today 7/8/2011 and after waiting on the phone for 22 minutes, a gentlemen on the phone said that I could not get a new card since there is no money in the account. What happened to the $17.00 that was left in there? Do you take people's money and keep it. I want to know what happened to the $17.00. You can't just take people's money that belong to them. It was an unemployment compensation monies. I want an answer.

    I have gone to Chase bank, twice, to get a power of attorney signed for my 87 year old uncle. The first time, it was signed but when it was shown to a branch of Chase bank to order checks, they refused it, saying it was not a "Chase Bank Power of Attorney." I went the second time, did a Chase Bank power of attorney, had to return because they missed a signature, and signed it.

    I cashed a check to pay his bills with my signature on it but the check was refused and the money was taken from my account. I went back to the branch and was told that the branch had filled out the paperwork incorrectly. I would have to bring my uncle in for a third visit to sign a new power of attorney, but I was also told that the money would be returned to my account, it was not. All two times, it was the banks error, but I am the one that has to pay.

    For over 2 years, I have been working with Chase to get a modification. I spent many hours on the phone and never got answers for questions - always was still processing. Finally, I got a temporary modification, so I set up the payment over the phone. Chase drafted my account twice on the same day. I called them and they said there was nothing they could do, so I had my bank reverse the 1 payment.

    Seven days later, Chase put the payment through. Again, I called and no one, after 2 hours on the phone, could help me. As of today, I am still overdrawn in my checking account. I have so many fees from being over drafted. I have not a dollar to my name because of Chase. I am a single mom and cannot even feed my children.

    Since August 10, Chase bank has not returned my money. When I call, no one can help, and I am told someone will get back to me. I am so upset over this. My daughter just started school, and I cannot get her supplies since paying 2 mortgage payments a month was not in my budget. And one last thing, one of the mortgage counselors at Chase told me, "You were behind and owe late fees, and you're complaining about 1 extra payment?" I was very upset about this. I asked for the modification for a reason.

    I got a free checking account and everything is going well for a short time and then they tell me that I have signed up for Overdraft Protection and I keep getting charged $25.00.

    I told them that I did not sign up for that, to which they replied that it comes with every account. I asked them to take me off of it and they did. Alright, again everything is going well and then they start waiting to post charges until the opportunity to ding me with more overdraft charges happens. I tolerate it the first, second and third time, to which I call back and barely communicate with a few of their English major employees. Finally, they transferred me with one who speaks English fluently and can be understood perfectly and tells me to call back when the transaction has posted and tell whoever you talk with that I'd like to place one of my transactions on hold until there is enough money in the account. I'm cool with that, I've calmed down and I let it go.

    Well, I waited until it's posted which by then is in the negative and I'm going to be charged an overdraft fee by these delightful people. I spoke with one employee who openly tells me that I've been misinformed by a Chase Bank employee! She transferred me to her English-speaking supervisor and he verifies that indeed a Chase Bank employee has deceived me, thereby committing fraud because he lied in order to cause me financial harm and dismiss any negative reactions I had about it.

    I'm deeply offended by this, as a Chase Bank customer, and they will suffer the legal repercussions because of the fraud and the mental duress I've had to suffer through because of it.

    Your Chase has closed my debit card twice without my consent even after checking the transactions activity with me as they said for "my account security".

    Three calls with a total of two hours on the phone, the embarrassment of my card getting denied after my activity was verified, and the bad time of getting upset! I am a very busy person with a job and a business, I do not have the time to waste in repeating negligence. If this is the policy of your bank institution, to make customer go through this ordeal, then I should be notified so I can close my four accounts and transfer them to another bank institution!

    Thanks for your time and many blessings!

    I had an issue with a lost debit card. Chase put a hold on all deposit and withdrawal, returned every check I wrote, and every ATM transaction. Then allowed each check and transaction to be re-presented and returned a minimum of three times.

    All said and done, I paid over $1,300 in overdraft fees, not one returned to me. Brought my account to zero several times to close it out and they continued charging fees for the same transactions that they put a hold on...this is fraud! They stole my money and there is nothing I can do....

    The bank held money from our business checking account due to a "lien" being placed, wrongfully, by a party we were in a lawsuit with. Chase received two separate court orders to release the lien and return the bank NSF fees they charged against our account as a result of the lien. Initially, they returned the fees and lien. Then, they put the money on hold again taking over $8,000.00 in NSF fees from our business account.

    The judge provided a court order to release all the NSF fees back into our account from the date that Chase held the funds out again for the second time. The bank also had two statements, one online and the other hard copy sent in the mail. The statement in the mail (also the one the IRS sees) did not reflect the funds on hold, however, the online bank statements printed showed the funds on hold (and the bank claimed that they weren't) but we showed the judge that they did. She agreed and ordered the repayment of fees and lien to be lifted again.

    I'm not sure why they have two bank statements for the same account; other than to shield the money they were holding from the IRS for whatever reason (money they were banking interest on that was not reflected in the "real" bank statement). We have paid attorney's fees and Chase did not return attorney phone calls. Now we are facing more attorney fees while this "wonderful bank" continues to be in contempt of the court order demanding the refund of our NSF fees.
