Home 2009, we do fairly well on our scheduled payments but every year, this time of year we fall behind. As of right now we have $800 in suspense, they won’t accept until full $1505.56 is required. But instead of them accepting a partial payment on a weekly basis they hold the money until they get in full therefore we get a notice in the mail soon to be foreclosed if we do not have the money in by a certain date. My husband gets paid on a weekly basis, for us it would be easier to make weekly payments. But chase will not accept weekly payments, why? How can I get away with this? I mean we're honest people trying to make her way here and I don't understand why they would rather kick us out of our home or hold on to the payment until we have the full amount there. It's not fair and it's extremely stressful. BS, they can capitalize on somebody that's trying the best and do the right thing and make a payment but yet we still get a foreclosure letter and threatening if we don't pay. Plays this right, please tell me.

I just tried logging into my mobile app to check my account and was prompted to call Chase. I gave them a call and they told me my account had been shut down! I didn't believe what they said so I asked why! They said they couldn't tell me. I asked, "Could I get my money?" And they said no, they would mail it to me within 10 days! **

I have been with the bank for around three years now with a good payment, on time history and have a good credit rating also. I am earning a great Salary and considering that I went to chase bank to check if I apply for an auto loan since I have been with bank from quite some time now. I could have gone to Bank of america since it has tie up with my employer, however I liked chase bank more as I have worked for chase bank earlier. In return of me being a very faithful customer, chase rejected my application of auto loan which even the representative who was filling my application considered as a very probable of getting a good interest rate since I have been a valued customer. I get a response from chase saying that I don't have enough income. I earn more, 70% percent more than whats average for whole United states.
And I have enough amount of money in my checking account as a security. I made a big mistake as I was quite sure of getting it approved in first place by bank of america as I had a preapproved offer from them, however I was just think of staying with chase as I have been attached to its services. I am highly disappointed to have this kind of treatment from chase for a customer like me who has never missed a Credit card payment, whose credit rating is a figure which is considered as an excellent credit history. This is disappointing and really an insult that you rejected my application and please provide me the process or steps to discontinue my services with chase bank.

December 23, 2014, and I got to have another little nasty surprise from Chase: Two debits which were NOT showing late last night have now been back-dated to yesterday, thereby causing my account to be overdrawn. I *could* have made a deposit into my account yesterday, but these debits hadn't yet hit by 10 pm last night. Early this morning, my account is now overdrawn, entirely because things which hit on 12/23 were back-dated to 12/22. At this instant, I'm $88 overdrawn, $78 of which is from their overdraft fees.
These are sick people who should have been imprisoned for all of their fraud during their last bank bailout. Instead, we're getting screwed again for their lies and deception. This isn't the first time I suspected they back-dated their debits, but now I know for certain that is exactly what they did. There's no way I could be fine at 10 pm MST Monday and overdrawn by 7 am MST Tuesday.

I really hate Chase. I have account with other banks and they never did such mean things like Chase to me. Their policy is based on taking advantage of others. They several times send some coupons to me to encourage me to open other types of accounts, every time I went to this bank with their coupon they find a stupid rule among their policies to refuse giving the coupon. All their policies are with tricks and dishonesty. The last time that they could not find any excuse to refuse giving me the money for coupon they close my account because my country of Origin was not US. It is obviously discrimination and it's against the rule but they don't care because they have power which comes from other's money!!! They are so rude and mean to their customer. It's not worthless to say that they find a lot of ways to charge you and they will never be the first bank to give you credit or loan!!! It's not a good option for regular people specifically internationals. I really hate them and never forgive them for their behavior. Stay away! Go to a bank which has some advantages for you instead of taking advantage of you!

On December 10 at 5:01 PM, I received an email alert from Chase thanking me for changing my user ID and password. I did no such thing. Apparently, Chase had linked my personal and business account to someone else. I made a transfer from one of my savings account into my checking account in the amount of $216 on November 17, thinking that it was my savings account and not someone else's account linked to my account. The owner of that account contacted Chase specialist on December 10 and filed a complaint for the missing $216 out of his account. And also, someone manage to change my profile user ID and password.
Well even though Chase made the mistake, they have frozen my account and won't release my funds. I have over $70,000 in this bank and they froze my account over $216 and without even calling me to inform me of the matter. I had to find out on my own. It's now December 14 and they still refuse to release funds, accusing me of a fraud and thief. Very poor customer service. As soon as they release my funds, I'm closing my account and going somewhere else. Don't recommend Chase to anyone. They are a poor excuse for a bank. No accountability whatsoever.

First, I attempted to use my debit card and it was declined even though I had sufficient funds in the account. When I returned home that same day there was a package from Chase stating that there was a change in my account. I contacted them and they informed that for some reason a review was conducted on my account and chase decided to close my account. I ask for an explanation and they said that they would not provide me with one. They said that it was their prerogative. They said that my funds were frozen and that they would send me my money essentially when they felt like it. This has caused me a considerable amount difficulties. My payments are all direct deposited. All of my money is tied up and there is no way for me to get any. I am a retired government employee. I had to jump through hoops to open a new account with money that I had to borrow, as well as changing my direct deposit information with the VA and the Defense Finance and Accounting people. There is no guarantee that my next pay will make it to my new account. Which means that if the new direct deposit does not go into effect prior to 31 Dec 2014 then my money will be in limbo. Which means that I will be unable to pay my bills, which will probably result in numerous late fees.
In addition to that I will have to essentially move mountains I order to get my money. I had on a few occasions been overdrawn but I always brought the account back to a positive within a couple of weeks. I fail to understand how a bank can just close your account, keep your money, and not provide you with an explanation. Each time that I contact Chase I am always referred to the loss prevention people. So now I am stuck without money that belongs to me for an indefinite period of time. In addition to that, I am not sure whether I will be able to pay my bills on the first. This to me is just criminal. I spent over 20 years in the US Marine Corps fighting to protect my country only to be abused by a financial institution without an explanation. I have looked online and I have discovered that I am not the only one that this has happened to. This has got to be illegal in some way. Fortunately, I do not have children at home and I have the ability to borrow money (unnecessarily) to temporarily sustain me. However if this mess is not cleared up prior to my next payday, I may be in a very bad position.

Chase closed my personal checking account as well as all of my credit cards without informing me why. I am a US citizen, homeowner, taxpayer and a business owner. I have exceptional credit and have never missed a payment of any kind. All of my credit card bills are paid off in full every month. I go into a branch and ask to speak to a personal banker regarding my issue. They are all friendly at first. Once they come back to tell you why, their demeanor changed and are very rude. Definitely hiding something. I’ve called the executive offices and get the same experience. What the HELL did I do?????? Perhaps it was some incompetent employee of yours that caused all of this???? I have yet to hear a response from them.
Time to get the State’s Attorney General’s office involved as well as the media. I have nothing to hide Chase. Can't wait for another class action lawsuit to add to your list of many already!!!!! How much have you paid out in class action settlements so far?????? Sounds like a very sound, ethical, responsible company to me! Don't give Chase your business! My advice..... choose three banks and stay diversified. I don't trust any banks.

They closed the account and placed it on charge off on my credit report. This stays on my report for seven years. This is unfair. I am not guilty of anything and I have to pay the consequences of someone else misdeeds and unscrupulous actions that hurt me for years.

I was a customer with Chase for over 3 years, had a free* (If used my debit card 5 times a month) account and all was good. However I deposited a check that apparently Chase decided was bad or something and they decided to close my account, without telling me, without giving me a chance to get the check corrected or anything... though they did give me the money. Now a YEAR later I decide it's been enough time and I want to go back to having a checking account, to make life easier on me. I go back into Chase and open a new account... get told that that everything is fine... even though I'm upfront about my account being closed on me. Next day I try to access my online banking and am locked out, told to call to reactivate my online account. And then starts the run around. My new account is being closed, they don't have to tell me why... but do tell me that I can go in and open a new account with them as much as I want, and they will NEVER refuse that, but they'll always close the account within 2 days because of my history... which with them was nothing but good except one mistake. This is insane. I'm still on hold with them.

Went to Chase Bank in Dallas, TX today to make a cash deposit into my daughter's account who lives in Las Vegas. Get up to the teller window and she tells me in order to make a cash deposit (yes CASH) I'd need to be an account holder or I could deposit it in the form of a money order. She then said she could do the money order and waive the fee BUT since I'm not an account holder she was unable to proceed to the next screen to continue the transaction. WTF? If I was an account holder, then we wouldn't be having this conversation about making a cash deposit at a bank. Mind you the deposit was only $50 - not $50,000 or even $500... but FIFTY dollars.
I was then told by the branch manager that the policy went into effect in March of this year (2014) and that there was a 7/11 Store up the street that I could go to and get a money order and then deposit it. ARE YOU ** INSANE? Why the hell would I take my cash from a bank, go to 7/11 to get a money order, double back thru traffic to make a deposit that I'm sure Chase would then put a hold on? Doesn't make any sense. I told them I would never come into another Chase bank, would go online and file a complaint and let the world know on Facebook about this ridiculous policy. Who ever heard of not being able to make a small case deposit into someone's bank account at a bank?

I opened a home equity acct on my home (2nd mortgage) in 2007. In 2008 having never used the account, get a letter from Chase, home value will not allow the account to be used. So it was frozen. I told them, "OK go ahead and close it out and release the lien docs on the mortgage." "OH," they said. "There would be a charge for, but if you wait 5 yrs. it will be released at no charge." I have waited 6 yrs., now they tell me there is a fee $16.25 to release the lien. All for a loan I never used.

They recently charged my twice for some purchases I made so they claimed I didn't have enough money in my account to purchase the stuff I got at CVS Pharmacy and I was given a paper that states that I had $18.04 right before I left the bank and went to CVS. It is literally like 5 minutes between Chase and the CVS I go to. They took $15.71 out of my money I was just paid today. I am on SSDI and have a limited income. I was charged 2 amounts of $30 each for overdraft fees. I called the bank and they gave me the $60 back for overdraft charges but they refuse to give me my $15.71 back. They claim I never had the $18.04 before I went to CVS even though I have a receipt of proof that I did. This bank is doing all kinds of fraud. I'm sick of their ** lies.

I deposited 2 checks on December 2nd. I then found out that my WHOLE ENTIRE ACCOUNT has been frozen a day later. I called Chase to see what happened and they said they have to speak to the person who wrote the check to me because of fraud activity. However, I told them the situation that I am in and they basically told me to suck it and that my account will remain frozen until they can talk to that person. They are all heartless people that do not care about you whatsoever. I gave them the phone number to contact the person and Chase said they don't accept cell phone numbers. FYI, it's the 21st century - everyone has cell phones and not land lines. They also proceeded to tell me that they can close my account in 10 days and I will never see my money again. To this day, I still have no access to my account. No bills paid. Nothing, but waiting. I can honestly say I HATE Chase and I do not use hate very often.

On Monday, December 2, 2014, I sent a $20,000 wire to a contact in Seattle, WA. It never arrived and I was told by Wednesday morning it was rejected. It is now Thursday evening, December 4, 2014 and the $20,000 was not yet credited back to my account. I spoke to the manager at the Chicago, Lincoln Ave. branch as well as calling Chase directly at least 20 times since Tuesday evening, when the wire was rejected by the receiving bank (NY Melon Bank). At this time, the branch bank manager as well as phone manager of Chase cannot commit when my money will be returned. They do admit receiving the money at Chase but cannot say when my account will be credited. I spent 2 days on the phone trying to get my money back, neglecting my business without success.

I have been with Chase for a while. I have never allowed my account to be overdrawn. I am highly responsible with keeping a check ledger and it shows. My credit is decent (low 700s), but when it comes to trying to get all my stuff with Chase to make it easier for me to manage, they are the "Bank of No". They will not issue me a credit card and they will not issue me refinance for my car. I understand that credit criteria for the bank is important, but they have lost my business in the process. They see the money going into and out of my account. I did report this to their Executive complaints email, but that was just a waste of my time. More no, more denial, no accountability on their part. So, if my business for their credit products is not good enough, then neither is it for their deposit accounts. I am shutting down my Chase account by the beginning of the year and heading over to Capital One 360.

I use my Chase credit card because it provides protection in case a large store sells me a product that is defective etc. I pay high interest for this benefit and have used it for 27 years without one problem. Recently Home Depot installed the wrong rug in my home. They re-ordered my rug and installed the wrong one a second time. I stopped the payment as I had to keep all my belongings in storage until the correct rug was installed. I had to keep my dogs in a kennel for the first time ever for days. Finally the correct carpet was installed and I asked for a refund of the cost of the kennel only from Home Depot but they declined.
I put a stop payment and provided all the bills and loss of work days plus storage fees to chase who at first stopped the payment but then fully paid Home Depot because eventually I did get the correct rug. I will never trust Chase again or use their bank as this was a living horror show with me constantly having to call them and email them and fax them proof that I had loss. I now understand buyer beware. Do not buy carpet from Home Depot and do not use a credit card from Chase thinking they will protect you over the big stores.

Against my better judgment (being in a hurry), I deposited over $900 into the ATM on 10/31/2014. Not at the local branch where I normally go but a ATM in a different State West Virginia. First it spat back out a $100 bill and asked to try again, so I did, it took it and as I continued to feed the ATM the rest it keep doing that same thing. After a number of attempts my deposited was completed. Then the door that covers the deposit section started opening and closing repeatedly and a message came on the screen that the ATM has experienced a technical problem, to call and confirm my deposit was completed. So did before I left the ATM. They did credit my account the money and I was told while they complete their investigation and if they find any discrepancy they would reverse this credit. This investigation can take up to 10 working days. It really took over a month before I heard anything. Seriously send someone over there to check it like asap people. Even though I received a credit I will be in extreme anguish for the next 2 weeks until this matter is resolved.
On 12/1/2014 they reverse the credit and said they had no recorded that I made this deposit at any of the local branches in Ohio. Even though I told them it was in WV. I later sent in information (text balance, and ATM Withdrawal) and had them review and investigate the claim again for the 3rd time. It is so nerve-wracking, and stressful that a large company will treat their customers like a lair that I made up this whole story of making a deposit. It's really upsetting that now my acct is negative and they expect that I'm paying them this money back after I deposit this money and I work 4 jobs and used that money to pay back student loans.. Never again will I use the ATM to deposit cash.. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BANK CHASE-----lesson learned!!!!

Nov 20, I was at Chase Bank, Severn, in Metairie, LA at 2:18pm. I signed my name/time of arrival on the check in list/paper. 3 tellers were talking among themselves as there was no customer inside. I took a seat at the waiting room but nobody showed up. After waiting 20 minutes I approached empty teller window and asked her why I had to wait so long. She said one was in the meeting and the other was on lunch break (at 2:45pm?). 3 other customers showed up after me, signed their name and waited in the lobby. One male customer left after 30 minutes. Again I walked up to the teller and complained for a long wait without any explanation. I was told to go to another branch. I could not wait any longer than 45 minutes and I went to another Chase Bank (by Turnbull avenue) where a service was much better and the officer finished my request in 2 minutes. This branch by the Severn needs to be shut down or need a management change as there was no set procedure how to service customers.

Where do I start with Chase Bank? I'm not going to point blame at the people at the call center or the people at my local branch because I've never had problems with them yet. However, I legitimately feel as if Chase bank manipulates people's money to make money in fees. Here’s why: 1. Why is it that to add money to my checking account, I get charged over $80 in fees? A small amount of money transferred into my checking account from PayPal, Chase took it upon themselves to put that money PLUS some, into my savings account, over drafting my checking account and charging me that outrageous fee. Seeing this mistake, they transfer the money BACK into my checking to bring it to a balance of $0, causing me to get a fee for too many transfers from savings. THEN, the small amount I transfer from checking to savings automatically on paydays went through, charging me an ADDITIONAL overdraft fee. In which case transferred the money from my savings BACK to my checking and again charging me a fee for that, leaving both my checking account AND my savings account at a $0 balance. And this is a normal business practice?
2. Overdraft protection doesn't mean anything. Signing up for overdraft protection means no transaction goes through unless the funds are available in your account. Unless, however, that transaction is an automatic payment, then it will gladly take your money and charge you an overdraft fee. I would rather go without a phone for a day or 2 than to pay almost double my bill... 3. Why is it that it takes up to 3 business days to release my funds to me but seconds to take it away? The banks have to be earning money somehow, right? Why don't they just hold people's money and earn a bit of interest on it while the customers suffer without food, necessities, diapers for little ones, mortgage payments, and even something as simple as the fact that us, as working people and human beings, want our hard earned money when we need it!
I'll end this rant here. I have never in my life seen anything so crooked and sinister as the folks over at JPMorgan Chase. It's unreal. I'm reading on here of people that have lost their homes, their possessions, went without clothes and diapers because the crooks at this bank want to earn an extra nickel on our funds.

Since I moved to the DMV area (DC,MD,VA), and due to the lack of Chase banks in the area, I have been unable to conduct business. To add insult to injury, I recently asked my dad to deposit $200 into my account from NJ, (because I am unemployed and still have obligations) he was told that he could not, due anti fraud policies. Over $200!? Common sense is definitely not a policy. I even maintained my account with them EVEN AFTER I had to flee to the Atlanta area, where again, no Chase branches exist! I am in the process of completely separating from Chase FOR GOOD! The solutions that were offered were either inconvenient or time consuming! I think Chase needs to amp up their presence in major areas before they over regulate their clients! Not even a shared branch!!

I opened a saving account in January of 2014. This qualified my long time checking account to be upgraded to a "premier" checking account. In July I noted the interest paid on 15000 in savings was only pennies. Also I could not see that a "premier" checking account did not benefit me so I transferred all but 128 to a bank paying a greater interest rate. In November, in spite of having a large balance in my checking account, my 128 dollar saving account had a 5.00 service fee withdrawal.
When I went into the bank and asked to have the 5.00 svc fee returned to my account, I was told my saving balance was below their requirements. And because the 5.00 svc fee was taken by the "system" they could not add it back... Not happy. I am a long time customer who has never bounced a check and always maintained a higher than normal balance.

Chase Bank "Fraud Center" started calling me about "unusual activities" on my credit card. When asked about their location, I was told India or Philippines. As a retired military officer, I regard questions about personal information, SSAN or other data as offensive and will NOT give over the phone. When I demanded they furnish written documentation to confirm the fraudulent activity, Chase Bank refused. WARNING TO EVERYONE: PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION to these people in the Fraud-Center-Boiler-Rooms that Chase uses. Especially not if you are serving in the military somewhere. This tactic is simply to gather information on consumers or worse. If Chase Bank is called before the US Congress to answer for this, I plan to attend.

Chase is the worst. I'll spare the long winded details. Essentially after opening a checking account, where I declined their Debt Card Coverage and gave them strict instructions to decline any charges to my checking account if funds were not available, they allowed a number charges to clear, added overdraft fees, and then deducted the funds from another joint account my wife and I had together, to cover the negative balance.
My question - Has anyone filed a lawsuit in Small Claims court against a big company like this? I read a very compelling Blog Post by someone with similar issues and he filed in small claims court. They settled before the court date (I don't remember which bank it was or if it was a bank). According to this writer, who had similar issues with fees and overdrafts and such, ended up filing a complaint in Small Claims Court, where you can't be represented by an attorney. I think he said he has done it 2 or 3 times for small amounts, a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars. It didn't sound like he was pursuing erroneous claims. Every time they settled. A big company like Chase won't incur the cost of sending a non attorney from Corp. and probably won't have local employees they want representing them.
I'm curious if anyone has experience or even heard of anyone doing this? While I believe wholeheartedly in the merits of my argument, I'm a little intimidated by the thought of someone actually showing up and having to argue, in court, against a corporation this large, with a pool of well educated, capable employees. That said, it could be fun!

My husband was going to the Chase Bank in Covington Hway 190. I ask him to deposit $200.00 in my account, the teller told him he can't he is not on the account.

I had deposited a check for $6000, and was explained that in two days the check should available in my account. A week had past yet no availability. At this point I'm upset, and with no idea of what’s going on. I call. They explained that it will take about a month for me to receive a $6000 check. Now I'm mad. Why would it take a month to receive a check. Well a bunch of excuses were made and finally it came down to the fact that they wanted proof funds were available in checks writer's account. Well I verified that 6000 was deducted from account and called check writer's bank to also verify. Called them back and explained the check writer's bank has done their job so why not them do theirs.
And here comes the crazy part. They go and stated I never received a check from check writer's account (and I have more 5 times). Mentioned I have and then she states “Oh, It needs to be like 15 to 30.” I thought to myself do I own a business. I called back next day to see if they had fixed the problem. They stated that they moved the date to 2 weeks instead of the month. Well, as great as that sounded I am not going to wait 2 weeks to have a check deposited to my account. They eventually told me that if I go and call the bank with the writer of the check next to me I can get it earlier. I have never heard such crap in my life. So now I'm going to close the account once I receive my 6,000, close my saving and completely remove Chase from my life. It has been a horrible 6 years with this crappy bank.

In 2009, I opened an account with Washington Mutual. In 30 days, I earned $100.00. I shared this with a higher paid professional worker at my office and opened one and as soon as her $100.00 came, she closed out the account. I didn't have the heart to be so ruthlessly cold. When Washington Mutual was sold to Chase, I walked in and was considering closing the account, but the person said that my benefits were grandfathered in. So, I did not close it.

I started an account for my daughter when she was 5yrs old with Apple bank. That bank was taken over by The Dime savings bank then Washington Mutual then Chase. She had accumulated more than $3300.00 in that account and we forgot about it. I found the bank book recently and began inquiring into the location of the funds. For the past 6 months, Chase has been unable to locate these funds. The only thing they can tell us is that the account was purged. Today, after spending 6 hrs on the phone from China with them, Chase's final answer is that they are unable to locate the funds. What are we to do next.

THIS BANK DOES NOT ACCEPT CASH MONEY FOR DEPOSITS! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING... A BANK THAT DOESN’T TAKE MONEY! WOW! So let me explain... it was last Saturday and my 19 year old son in College at NAU needed some gas money for the weekend. I told him I would go make a cash deposit into his checking account. I went to the in store location at Happy Valley Rd. & 67th Avenue. I stood in line for quite a while, there was only 1 teller to help all the people in line. I told the teller that I wanted to deposit $60 dollars into my son’s account.
He proceeded to ask me if I had an account with them, I replied no and then he told me since I don't have an account with them, I couldn't make the $60 CASH deposit into my kid’s account! Then referred me to the "manager" of maybe 22 years old. And she tells me we can't take the deposit due to money laundering issues and it's a new policy. I was laughing out loud, and shocked! I told her that was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of... if you look at my son’s account you will see that he is only 19 years old and we have no previous issues with "MONEY LAUNDERING"!! THIS IS JUST A POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SCAM TO GET EVERYONE TO JOIN THIS BANK!!
My son has now cancelled his account with CHASE and will never return. I will be telling everyone about this ridiculous policy! P.S. I understand that money laundering is an issue, but they need to adjust this policy. I mean I didn't have thousands of dollars, it was only $60 bucks!! COME ON!!! CHASE SUCKS!

Against my better judgment (being in a hurry), I deposited $800.00 (my rent money) into the ATM on 11/07/14. First it spat back out a $100 bill and asked to try again, so I did. Then the door that covers the deposit section started opening and closing repeatedly and a message came on the screen that the ATM has experienced a technical problem, to call and confirm my deposit was completed. So did before I left the ATM. They did credit my account the $800.00. I was told while they complete their investigation and if they find any discrepancy they would reverse this credit. This investigation can take up to 10 working days. Seriously send someone over there to check it like asap people. Even though I received a credit I will be in extreme anguish for the next 2 weeks until this matter is resolved. It is so nerve-racking. Never again will I use the ATM to deposit cash - lesson learned!

I worked at Chase Bank for almost 7 years. In the majority of that time, I loved working there. I was the employee that was happy everyday, and worked to keep my clients happy and coming back. Then, I started at a Branch where the manager was unqualified, the assistant manager was unqualified and had a total banking experience between them of & years. They came to me for everything. The manager was a complete D-Bag and thought he was better than everyone. It was a total boys club. The women were left out front to play receptionist and the boys were always rewarded for mediocrity. This guy is the reason I left the company. He never made any sense and was a bumbling idiot.
Now, I have found that when my husband deposited his paycheck on Friday, this "Manager" deposited the check into the wrong account. Not even an account that was one of ours. Now my mortgage is due and its 3-5 business days till the money goes into my account, IF they can even find it. Ironically, I'm the person that everyone came to when these situations needed to be resolved. This even makes me wonder if he did it intentionally.

I moved from Texas to NC on September 13th. I went into the bank on Hulen on September 12th, made an address change, as well as my legal name change on our account. As we are now married. I planned in keeping our accounts as, my husband had several more weddings till mid-November in Texas, and I like Chase. Though the closest was West Virginia. On Oct 10th, my father wrote me a check using my maiden name, and it bounced. He being 75 years old just made a simple miscalculation. Understandable.
My husband using his business card and his Doing Business As Form, tried depositing a check where the bride forgot to use his legal name, but he had his form - no big deal. My father's check bounce and they looked at the name with my maiden, and flagged me for fraudulency. Chase shut my account down with no notice, until I saw my direct deposit not clear. Then my mortgage company called saying Chase refused them, saying my account was closed. No notification - Nothing.
It has been 15 days, and still no check sent to me. They are saying a check from 2 months ago went through and my ten day hold has to start over again. Again, no notification. I have been treated like a fraud - no regard for me the consumer. And truthfully no real reason for flagging me for such a heinous crime. I do not bounce checks myself, no history. I do not do things illegally - do not intend to do so. To be treated like a criminal is the most disgusting act, and not even a question to me, as maybe there is a misunderstanding. My husband is a wedding DJ, and has never had an issue with his form, or business cards, though rarely do brides write him a check in his entertainer name. It happens, but that is what the legal form is for.
We the consumer have done our part, Chase has done nothing but give me the run around, hold my hard earned money, hurt my potential credit, show lackluster customer service, and being very discourteous. I do not appreciate being treated like I am a wrongdoer or criminal, especially when I give them my good business. I will continue to report and tell people of such an attitude and lack of customer service this bank has, as I have never had any bank ever treat me in such an ugly manner.

First the bank manager told me that I was the only one with online access, then when all was said and done, they froze those accounts, and opened a new account for me. Well, when they figured it all out they sent me several letters that stated they would be mailing checks to reimburse me. I inquired several times at the bank, at which times the bankers would call to verify what was going on. Each time the dept said they were mailing checks, and to wait for said checks, then deposit into account that remained negative due to fraud.... Well 6 weeks later they emptied my new account! Said they had transferred the money into new account so it should have been put into other account!
Keep in mind... I was waiting for checks, as they said the reason it was negative was they corrected it twice, me thinking money transferred in was one, and checks were the second. Ok, then they tell the personal banker that is attempting to help me, that on the following Weds, the neg account will transfer to collections, where I can set up an arrangement.... Meanwhile they have froze my new account and closed out my debit card! Ok.... I call Weds... Nothing... I call Thurs... Nothing... I look at my account (new one) and it is suddenly negative the amount the other one was and then I get a letter in the mail saying they decided to close my new account. When I call, they have no reason except, "Well, we have the right to end the relationship!" So, you just messed up my credit, left me with a negative/closed account for no reason?!!!! At a loss!!!

Over a month and a half ago, when JPMorgan Chase was hit by hackers or whatever it ended up being, I had several fraudulent charges on both my debit card and credit card that I have with Chase. I immediately filed claims with both, got my new credit card right away and about a week later got my new debit card. Over $3,000 was charged to my debit card in several separate transactions. I filed the claim, they were very helpful, said they needed to research it and would get back to me.
Over the course of the next month and a half, I received an email to submit documents over a "secure" server regarding this claim on my debit card. I received the same exact email asking for the same exact information about 5 times. After the fifth time, I finally gave Chase a call about why I kept receiving the same email asking for the same "secure" documents. They stated that there was something wrong with the secure server and that they had never received the documents until the most recent time I sent them.
I inquired in great detail about how nervous that made me to keep banking with them. Not only did I have to file a claim about several charges on my debit card, but the supposedly secure server they use to transmit information about that claim wasn't really secure, or at the very least, faulty. I pressed the customer service agent, Mary Jane **, several times to speak to a supervisor or someone from technical support, who were of course no one to be found.

1) Over the years, money stolen from business account; only discovered when I had to deal directly with them due to no staff after H. Katrina. Consequences: my money into Chase's hands.
2) Systematic theft from customers perceived as vulnerable: 2 different branches, several months apart: both tried to deposit $5,000.00 into their savings accts. 60+ (very intelligent) Vietnamese woman, retired Chef, TOLD them NOT a CD! My SAVINGS. The other, 75 y/o Black retired school teacher, on way to Europe, gave written instructions:"SAVINGS". They tried to talk her into a CD deposit; she refused.
In both cases their $ was put into 5 year CDs; when they found out, they were told, "Too bad. It's too late now." People in New Orleans are afraid to fight "the system" due to generations of criminal revenge on them and their families--esp. minorities, and esp. women. They both were afraid to pursue the problem further, and independently told me about the episodes (I'm their MD.). Consequences: they lost access to their $ for 5 years, despite explicit instructions to Chase Bank as to disposition of their own money.
3) After H. Katrina, I went in shock to my then-banker, with Chase--I'd lost business, staff, car, patients and home was flooded. She suggested I transfer my Retirement account from Denver, where it had safely been managed for many years, to her bank, "Where I'd have immediate access to it, if I needed it." Chase managed to lose all my money-- "Oh, it's not lost, we just don't know where it is and we don't have a phone number for that department, etc." Ad nauseum. Confirmation that they "had it" dribbled in over many months: the last account turned up EIGHTEEN months later!!!!! I also obtained faxed and detailed confirmation as to the wiring of all these moneys to Chase, at the same time, from the previous company, and of Chase' receipt of all several hundred thousand dollars.
I tried to C/O with the Federal agencies but got the runaround there, also. I found the name of a reporter from out west, Geoff **, and spoke with him. Chase had limited access to some small amount of his $ for 3 days; he was awarded $60,000.00 by a Federal Court for this. By the time I was emotionally able to try to address this, due to the PTSD from H. Katrina (I was also trapped in my home for 30 days without basic necessities, alone) and the fact that Chase had strung me along for so long, every lawyer I approached either refused to take the case because it was Chase Bank, or, later, because the alleged Statute of Limitations had passed. Consequences: NO access to my retirement account in a time of dire need; loss of Credit, as I was not able to pay bills in a timely fashion, RAGE and frustration, charges for late/non-payment of bills, attempt at foreclosure on my home (I used my Road Home $ to avoid this, with the consequence that I am only NOW, 9 years later, beginning to START to get the damage to my home from H. Kat's flood fixed, piecemeal, as I can come up with $).
Now, I am 71: broke leg and arm 12/21/13 and was bedridden for 3 months. I was not able to resume working even part-time in my solo Family Practice for 6 months. My biller quit, due to lack of income. My staff stayed, despite no pay. We finally have a biller, and have gotten almost (whoopee) $1,000.00 in from accts billed. When my mortgage was due this month, I had maxed out all resources and did NOT want to deplete my diminishing IRA further: I called Chase, a Susan **, who said no late fee would be applied for this month. I just found out her "request" was denied. That was when I found your site.
It is my personal belief that Chase Bank is owned/managed by Organized Crime. I know/have heard that there is an ongoing Federal Investigation into them, but I have not found out how to get involved in that. My mortgage was held by WAMU, until the Big Bank Takeover in '08 (politely termed The Recession), when Chase took over WAMU. Chase also refused to return $ spent on repairs that WAMU had received from my "ins.co." for non-flood-related repairs, for years, even though WAMU had been about to release this money to me, as they had all my receipts, when Chase took over. I had to hire my own lawyer (>$350.00/hr.), finally to get anything at all from them--they still owe me about $800.00 from this money, but my chances of getting it are so small that my lawyer told me it wouldn't be worth the continued fight. The H. Katrina "lawyer" I'd had never did one thing except collect money; that is why I finally paid my own business lawyer! It only took him a few phone calls and letters to get what he DID get, for me.
I am so angry and disgusted with these crooks--and I am only one small person in their clutches. They must be making billions annually by their multiple illegal practices. I have heard multiple patients, over the years, say they had left Chase as their bankers due to the same problems with disappearing deposit money that I had discovered when I had to do it all myself, and subsequently also left them. I'm trapped by this mortgage (Finally got my retirement acct out of their greedy, dirty hands).
Oh--as to the mortgage: they offered me a "closing-cost-free" refinance a few years ago. I was interested, as my rate is high by today's terms: almost signed off on it, and then I got the "Oh, by the way" letter: "All you have to do is send us a check for $14,000. plus first." OH??? These people are CROOKS. I hope it is true that they are under Fed. Invest., but am afraid they will buy off anyone involved in such a process.

He was told by UPS that only the sender CHASE could change the address destination. So... he called Chase again and explained what was going on. They told him he would now have to wait until Tuesday to receive his card.
It is now Tuesday and NO CARD. Turns out Chase didn't submit the address change until Tuesday at 10:47am. Now he has to wait until Wednesday for his card. This is UNACCEPTABLE. He is at school and has had no money for 10 days!!!! Clearly, customer service is not helpful in any way. This college account is the worst mistake I ever made. As soon as the rep realized it was a college account she should've thought OUTSIDE THE BOX and asked him if he needed the card sooner and provided him with the option to expedite. Knowing that this is a college student, she could have explained to him in detail what steps he could take if he did not receive the package when promised.
COLLEGE students are young adults who are still learning and your representatives should be trained to THINK ahead on behalf of the client. These kids are the next generation of account holders and believe me my son learned a hard lesson from this, but most importantly he will remember that his relationship with CHASE will not go far with him in the future.

Although the bank reps agreed this was not right and should have been stopped as a stale check, the management of the bank refused to make good on their error. I am a customer that had $400K in their bank and their $948 error was too much to bear. This bank clearly cares nothing about their customers.

I am a little upset with Chase currently. Over this past year, I have slowly but gradually seen this company change. What was once a big bank who made you feel as if you were dealing with a small bank is no longer prevalent. I first came to Chase from Bank of America due to the extra fees they tend to place on one's accounts and the repetitive overdraft fees.
Lately, Chase has failed to process payments efficiently. I do understand this also ties into how a merchant processes a payment as well. But Chase should find a more proficient way of handling this, especially when items remain pending for a long period of time. This puts me in a uncompromising situation concerning my account and I am now being charged repetitive fees like Bank of America. If I am going to have to put up with the same inconsideration for its customers like Bank of America, what is the point of staying with your bank? Charging someone more than one fee does not help them, it hurts them.

I opened a new checking account with my son four months ago. Alan **, apparently a new employee, set it up. It took over 90 minutes. He assured us there would be no service fees because the high school account was linked to my account. We purposefully went to the branch on a Saturday in person to set up the new account correctly. Yesterday my son showed me a statement that revealed a $6/month service charge on his account. Mistake #1, Chase.
I called customer service and spoke with a woman named Karin (sp?) who informed me that the reason Chase charged that fee is because I didn't have a premiere checking account, which is one that maintains a $15,000/month balance. I told her that Alan ** had not told me about this requirement. She said there was nothing she could do. Mistake #2. I waited on the line once the call with Karin finished in order to leave feedback in the customer satisfaction survey. No survey ever started. The automated voice that came on after a delay was the beginning menu. Mistake #3.
After more research and mounting frustration I discovered that:1) The fees were charged in error.
2) The accounts can be linked.
3) There is no requirement for a premiere account to avoid fees.
Chase, it appears that you hire inept people and/or you do not train them properly. Your automated customer service satisfaction survey that I was told would come on at the end of the call does not work.
My experience was a bungling mess of mistakes and misinformation from start to finish. It erodes my trust in your ability to keep track of my funds accurately. I am now exploring other banking options since the quality of your service has sunk this low. I loved Washington Mutual but have been very disappointed with Chase. After 12 years, I'm shopping around for a new bank.

Using their auto Bill Pay, I made what I thought was the final payment to an account on July 28th. They have a "Pending" activity screen that I regularly pull up to keep an eye on all my auto pay accounts. After my final payment there was NO indication of any future payments to this particular account, yet the next month on August 28th they processed another payment and now I have to wait up to 15 days for the payee to send me a refund check for the overpayment.
I happened to mention another account with only 8 payments left and they told me that it shows 9 left, not 8, on their end, which would result in yet ANOTHER overpayment. Even after I pointed this out they still will not admit that there is a problem with their Bill Pay system. They suggested I cancel and redo the current account in question to prevent the overpayment, instead of correcting the problem on their end. I'm not even sure that will prevent anything so I'll just cancel the account after my 8th payment as I don't trust their system anymore. You would think they would be more professional about this. They also got hacked a week ago so their security is also in question. Might be time to find a new bank.

Yesterday I bought a computer at the mall. Today I went to download software for my computer and my card was declined. I called and found out that my account was put on hold because of the transaction I made when buying my computer. Then apparently buying software online afterwards was suspicious. Ok, I understand that companies do that. It was annoying but I went through the process and got the hold taken off. The site I was buying my software on told me to wait 30 min and try my purchase again now that the bank had lifted my hold.
In the meantime, while I was waiting, I bought a mat for my computer chair to go on from Amazon. After 30 min had gone by, I went to purchase my software. My transaction was declined. I called the fraud department again and was told that my Amazon purchase was suspicious and they put my account on hold again. I do not understand why making a purchase online is suspicious enough to put a hold on my account twice after I had already spoken to the bank. I went through the process again and had the hold lifted. I even had the representative stay on the phone with me while I purchased my software to make sure the transaction went through.
I was finally able to download my software and after that I left to go to dinner. I ordered my meal and when the check came my card was declined AGAIN! I called the fraud department for the 3rd time that day while sitting at the table in the restaurant and was told that because I signed up for Amazon prime that it looked suspicious on my account so they put my account on hold. After speaking to two representatives that day and having holds lifted off my account, they put my account on hold again. This is completely unacceptable.
The amount of time I spent correcting these issues so I could use my money, and embarrassment of having my card declined in the restaurant and having to sort this issue out in room full of patrons was beyond inconvenient. I spoke to the supervisor and told him that I have been a loyal customer for years and that this is unacceptable. I understand protocol for suspicious charges but when a customer has already spoken to your fraud department not only once but twice then to put a hold again is ridiculous. I was not offered anything but a simple sorry and that he was going to lift the hold but he said it as though it was some special lifting of the hold that he was going to do. I am not sure I want to do business with Chase if this is how they manage my account.

Today I went into a Chase Bank to deposit $120.00 into my college student's checking account for him to buy groceries and cash, because we do not live in the same city and he needed the extra money. I got a huge surprise when the teller told me that I could not put CASH into my son's account because I was not on his account. I had to either take a cash advancement on my credit card/bank card, write a check, or get a money order! The reason she told me they do not accept cash deposits by someone who is not on the account is because of Money Laundering. Again, major corporations have taken away another customer service aspect of business. Why does it become the problem of the majority, when a few have caused problems? Why is the bank making it their customers' problem because they have had trouble with a limited few? I have posted this on Chase's website because really this is so wrong that you cannot do cash business at a bank! WTF! Yes I am outraged!

I was living in Atlanta Georgia and working in New York, so I open what would a be a third account with Chase bank at their 39th street and Broadway branch. At this time I open a checking account and close my previous accounts. Everything was fine or so I thought, until I was told by one of the bank Representatives that my account will be close if I don't provide additional proof of my address, during this time I was staying at my mother's house. I explain to them that I had no bills in my name at this resident, and provided an notaries letter from my mother, by this time the bank had close my account and I was told that a check in the amount of what was in the account at the time of it's closing will be sent to me in seven business days. After several weeks had pass and I still did not receive anything from the bank, I went in to the bank and was told that a check was mailed out and to give it some more time.
Another week was at this time I was told that the check must have gotten lost in the mail and that another check will be mailed out, at this time ask what address was the first check mail to, they said my Brooklyn address. I said OK. Several more weeks pass and I still did not receive the check, so I went back to the bank where I was told that the second check was sent to my Atlanta address, why? No one could explain why they would do that, at that very moment I call Georgia. I was told that no letter from the bank had came for me. Very fed up with the lies and run around, I told the bank rep. to have the check sent in care of him at the bank that have been over three weeks now and still nothing. What can I do other than not bank there anymore. Please note, I still receive my bank statement each month at my Brooklyn address.

I have been banking with Chase since 2011 and last year I started having problems with unauthorized payments being taken out of my account. Such as I was done with my sirius satellite radio in car and wanted to let the service run out and be done with it! I have made sure only my car ins can do any type of auto withdrawal! I have been very ill and was in the hospital having a double biopsy when I was alerted that my account was overdrawn by sirius satellite by an enormous amount 200 dollars! I was told by chase bank that it was my fault as any business that I had given my visa info to can just use it whenever they want to! Wow how secure right! I filed a claim for an unauthorized debit and was refunded and told that the claims dept would look into it.
I was never contacted by sirius or emailed or anything. They just freely went in and got the most expensive package and applied it to my visa card! Now chase has decided that I owe sirius and sent me an email about it at 1 am. I decided to sleep off my meds and deal with it in the morning, but by 6 am they had overdrawn my account to pay sirius! Wow! I closely budget my money and live on a fixed income, right now, until I am better, if I get better! Chase bank basically just repeated the same line that well anytime you do any business that co. can use your visa - WOW! Now I am overdrawn and can't afford my cancer medicine!

Our company opened a new location in Campbell, CA. I was tasked with opening a new bank account, as president. I gave Chase a chance since their locations are everywhere. We bank with Navy Federal Credit union for years, no problems at all, but there are no branches in the Bay. Opened a Business Checking, the banker had all documents including our corporations DBAs. I deposited checks and cash into the account. One check was made to one of the company's DBA, the DBA is registered in Missouri, Texas, and California and the banker who opened the account verified everything.
When the debit card came, I could not activated it. The automated system said it did not recognize the card. I called the bank, was forwarded to the fraud department. The guy in the fraud department told me to bring in proof the DBA was registered in California, again, the next morning. I brought the original registration stamped by the City of Santa Clara and all of the paperwork dating back several years including taxes. Our company's business account was flagged for closure before I arrived, the fraud department apparently didn't bother to view the paperwork.
Unless the branch and the fraud department were playing "good cop bad cop", it seems as if they are not synchronized. The banker told me "Although you provided all of the documentation the fraud department requested and we verified everything was legit, they can't go against their own policies." I suppose one of their policies is to never overturn a flag. The account was open for 5 days, no debits, only a few thousand dollars in deposits. I was told a check for the balance will be mailed out in 7-10 business days. It's been about two weeks, no check.
This local Chase account was intended to pay for corporate transitional housing for me and two other executives moving here. I, the vice president, and the secretary made living arrangements to relocated to the South Bay area. Because of the bad timing and having no alerts from Chase about the hidden issues, I had to make deposits & corporate housing payments myself. We held a company meeting and we inserted into the corporation's bylaws to prohibit any future business with Chase Bank indefinitely. We have yet to receive any notice in writing about any problems whatsoever.
The company's Chase bank account online currently shows as if things are perfectly normal including the full available balance. Why are they keeping the account open? Are they trying to keep our company's money on their books while denying our company access?
Chase lacks transparency.The "left hand" doesn't know what the "right hand" is doing.
I knew more about James Pierpont Morgan than the bankers did.
The business customer is the last person to know about fraud issues.
The branch employees look unhappy and nervous as if they are hiding something.
Don't do business banking with Chase unless you only deposit cash and keep the accounts at the "free" minimum. Remember, banks like Chase can close accounts anytime they want to without notice.

About six weeks ago, I opened a business checking account with Chase, and made a medium-sized deposit. A few days later, I was summoned to the local branch for an "interview" conducted by a "relationship manager", as to the nature of my business. The interview was unpleasant, intrusive, and prying - especially since my business has been in operation since 1995 with never a complaint or problem from any quarter. It was explained to me that in the light of the Patriot Act, and subsequent problems with the laundering of illegal money, banks had to be extremely careful with companies (like mine) that derive a good part of their revenue from international business, hence, the interview.
Today, I went online to take care of some minor bills (FedEx, Utilities, Personnel Services), only to find that I could no longer make online payments direct my business account to various service providers. On investigating further, I discovered (when I could finally get through to a breathing human being) that for deliberately vague reasons relating to "fraud prevention" and the possibility of money laundering, my account, after review of its activities, had been flagged for closure. This is amazing in itself. I've only had the account for six weeks, and there has been very little activity - and all of that either payment of local bills, or transfers to my personal account.
I spoke to my "relationship manager" - who after 45 minutes of digging, was informed that CHASE has made a policy decision, and is closing the accounts of businesses that do business internationally so as to minimize risk to the bank. They haven't yet manufactured a crock large enough to put that load of BS into! Not only has the account been flagged for closure, but the decision is irrevocable, and the funds currently in the account are frozen for 10 days - after which time they "may" be released to me as a cashier's check!
Needless to say, I had no prior notice that CHASE was doing this. Nonetheless, they have unilaterally taken everything in the account, refuse to release it or any portion of it, and are holding it for an arbitrary 10 days for no good reason. In the meantime, I can't pay my bills, can't pay for my temp bookkeeper, and can't tolerate the foolishness of this distant, aloof corporation. What have we come to when CHASE can subject an honest business to this kind of mistreatment? No explanation, no accountability, no sense. Who do they think they are? The IRS?

On the first of July, I received an email message from Chase online banking that a wire transfer was rejected and then almost immediately another notification that "Wire Template was Activated." What I later found out is that when I receive that message, it means funds have been wired out of my account. I went to the branch and was advised to do several things: Run a virus scan (completed), Give them a new email address (completed), close old accounts and open new ones (completed), change online user name and password (completed several times).
All my direct deposits are paid into my account and I use it to transfer my rent payment on the 1st of every month and the timing of this incident meant that I would have the most stress and disruption. Eventually, I got my rent paid (a day late) and got me new account up and running and Chase was accommodating about crediting the $997.00 back into my account before the 4th of July weekend. I want to stress that I told both my Branch manager and the online division and the fraud division that "I do not do online wire transfers, EVER!"
The other thing is that this bank is supposed to have the strongest security system imaginable. They are entrusted with millions of dollars. When I scan my computer, it erases cookies and temp files so that when I log back in, I have to wait for a code to be generated and texted to my phone because their system "does not recognize my computer." I cannot log back in until I enter that code with my password. So, how could a 3rd party access my account from an unknown computer and not generate a challenge?
My account functioned normally throughout the month of July with the exception that right after I opened the new account, a sum of money transferred to savings. I stupidly thought that it probably had something to do with opening the new accounts, so I transferred the money back to my checking and there it sat until July 31st. On July 31st, 3 things happened. $800 transferred from checking to savings and immediately $900 transferred back to checking and then I got the email, "Wire Template Activated." I ran to the branch, but the $997.00 was already gone and they would not return it.
Friday, I returned to the branch, did another Fraud Affidavit, closed the account, opened another new account, gave them a third new email address, ran the security scans on my computer, etc. Once the new account was set up and supposedly secure, I returned home and did my rent transfer and took my wife to lunch. When I got home, I checked and I had received ANOTHER "Wire Template Activated" email.
By the time I got to the bank, 3 more transfers were attempted and the bank paid 2 more! Apparently, on the one hand, they say they have to honor wire requests and when they are under a $1000 threshold, there are no flags; yet, how did they stop some? Why? Very little they say makes any sense. At this point, my account was drained and there was not enough money to make my rent payment (highly embarrassing).
Chase seems absolutely incapable of protecting my account. Worse, is that considering this was already verified as fraud, they will not return my money. I had to jump through hoops to pay my rent - 4 DAYS LATE! All I want is my money and there are still peculiar things going on between accounts even though they are closed or restricted. I went to my branch today to ask for my money and was refused. Then they called the Sheriff's department to have me arrested despite the fact that I was not even causing a scene; I just wanted to wait for my money. To their credit, even the cops seemed a little befuddled!
I guess this is Chase customer service at its best. Run, do not walk away from these incompetent idiots. Chase may even be complicit, they are certainly negligent and should be held liable; but, I am the one who is treated like a criminal, on top of missed work, stress and embarrassment!

Bank floor manager was new and only explanation was "it's a new policy" and returned to texting on her cell phone.
I have an account there so teller made the deposit taking my id but said the could not do it moving forward. Was voicing my opinion in the bank and was told by teller that voicing my opinion in the bank was not appropriate: Why? Because Chase doesn't want people to know how they are alienating their customers - When asked why this is happening I was told "maybe they are trying to track money laundering:, I don't think it's that - I think they are trying to take the human component out of banking - who needs a teller sitting in a branch when I can make deposits by taking a picture of my paper check and send it to the banks computer, better yet - have all my funds direct deposit (again no human interaction) and my spending is done simply by debit card and computer transfers.
Computers do not require benefits, vacation days, sick days, maternity leave or incur payroll taxes. Chase is eliminating human interaction in all basic banking processes and will soon be eliminating jobs. When that teller finds herself obsolete and unemployed maybe she will have wished that more people voiced their opinion a little more loudly. Guess TD Bank will be getting a lot of new customers.

Chase accepted a power of attorney from a person that didn't have permission from the account owner to do so and allowed that person to withdraw all funds, close out a money market fund and remove all those funds to. They said they are not responsible for the mishap and will not replace the funds or even acknowledge that they are responsible for the problem. This is an on going case that started in 2009. All they say is that the power of attorney was notarized so they are not responsible. They don't have to check to see if it a legal power of attorney or even monitor what is going on with the accounts. When they accepted the power of attorney the account owner was not hospitalized or incapacitated, was able to be there but they said he didn't have to be. They even let the person withdraw $800.00 dollars that same day without the account owner's signature on the new account cards that they made out for the person that brought in the power of attorney.
The account owner never saw the new account cards, never authorized this person to do this and is now out all the money. He lost his house and all his personal belongings.

While I was gone, expecting my Chase officer to fix the problem, Chase closed my account and froze money, and suspended mother's account. The story gets worse... I was referred to Chase fraud dept, who referred me to Chase Branch, who referred me to fraud... Now I have to pay an attorney to sue Chase for the $100,000 they confiscated.

First of all, I loved my Chase Freedom card for the first 6 months or so... There was then an altercation on the phone because I made a payment on their automated payment that they encourage everyone to use as much as possible. And when I did that, it said it would be credited the next day... So I made a rather large payment, then went to use my card the next day and it declined (I had to use a credit card for this and it completely ruined my vacation because of this incident)... So I called and they say there is nothing they can do because when it says the next day, it meant 11:59 PM of the next day, which is technically the day after the next day. I believe they falsified their message on their automated service saying that it would be available the next day because it wasn't. Then I wanted to go ahead and pay everything on my account off and close the account, but I couldn't because you can only make one payment every 3 days. I have had numerous US Bank credit cards, among other credit cards, and Chase is absolutely the worst. Oh and I also had a very large amount in points on my card and they took my points and told me I couldn't apply them to my account because I was closing it.

I am so sick and tired of Chase still manipulating the transactions that go through on the same day so that they can charge the most insufficient funds that they possibly can. They have already gotten in trouble for this once and it seems that they should have learned their lesson but I guess when it comes to money, they don't care that they are doing wrong. I wrote two checks on the same day and when the checks went through the bank, they sent the largest one through first so that the smaller check and a transaction at Target would then bounce and they could charge me for two insufficient funds fees. If the other two transactions would have been put through first I would have only been charged once instead of twice. I am definitely going to be looking into another bank.

Received a check as a graduation gift and tried to deposit it on June 1st. I was told that it would be a week until my funds were ready. Waited two weeks and saw none of my money so I visited the branch. Apparently they were unable to contact the maker of the check because they had been trying the wrong phone number and when given the correct one, they still continued trying the wrong one. I asked the maker of the check to visit the branch to verify his identity, but it was confidential. He left a copy of his ID and his *CORRECT* phone number. Still, no one called him. Savings account was closed, card was cancelled, and I had no access to *ANY* of my money. Not only the check that I had tried to deposit, but also my previous funds, so I had no way of eating until given an ATM card days later.
At this point it had been a month since I deposited the check. It was suggested that I ask the maker to cancel the check and instead give me a money order, but upon contacting his bank, he realized the money had been withdrawn from his account on June 2nd (a month ago). I threatened to bring my attorney into this and that's when it finally seemed like anyone began *TRYING* to help me. The maker was contacted by my banker and the fraud department, his identity was verified, and I was told that I would have the money deposited into my account in the next 48 hours. Waited three days, still nothing.
Visited the branch again, possibly for the 10th time in the last month and a half, and was told it would be another 48 hours. Waited four days - nothing. Two days ago, it was deposited. It's nice to know that it takes them nearly a month and a half to deposit a check. I have been utterly patient, kind, and understanding while waiting for *MY* money to be given to me. What angers me the most is that for whatever reason, Chase thought it would be a good idea to withdraw the money from my uncle's account but refuse to give it to me, merely to "prevent fraud." Well, that's fraud. He didn't write the check for Chase, but it was still taken and held onto for much longer than necessary.

I have had my account for over 5 years now, 8 years including my account with Washington Mutual. In the last 6-12 months my account has been overdrawn more times than I can count!! I never had this happen before now. I've called and called regarding this and they always have some excuse. Today I called as I made a deposit on July 1st and had paid my bills. I also used my card numerous times. These transactions show up on my online account as soon as I do them. I check my account numerous times a day also just to keep track of it. I had quite a few pending transactions due to the holiday weekend and every time I checked my account, it was the same pending transactions.
On Monday July 7th, these transactions cleared leaving my account with a couple hundred dollars. I went at 5-6pm Monday night to remove money for my rent. I was still left with money in my account. Tuesday morning I get an alert that my account is overdrawn. I was pissed!! How can this be as all of the transactions cleared on Monday?? I called the bank today and what I was told was that if a "pending transaction" is placed on your account and it doesn't go through in 2 days, it falls off and has to be resubmitted. Well, if it falls off as they say then this money should go back into my account once the hold is taken off!! That and they can't push a transaction through like that over and over.
Considering this has happened to me quite a few times in the last 6-12 months, I feel there is something shady going on with this bank. I don't know whether it's because they want free money or if they're just stealing people's money!! It's just shady!! Oh, and they always seem to do this at the time I receive my child support!!

Chase bank has charged me $64.00 in check fees. I deposited a check by phone on Sunday because I have no access to a bank or ATM here on the east coast, I have to do it this way. Well because of insufficient funds along the way, also stemming from the fact that I can't deposit money in a hurry into my main account which I pay all my bills from. Chase has locked me out of it for 12 months because of this very problem so every time I get any money or a check, it takes two days for it to clear? and if a bill comes through I have to transfer from the other account so that I can pay the bills. I think it is ridiculous to lock me out of this account for a mobile deposit?? I mean what is the deal, yes I've had insufficient funds from this account but only because they won't let me use it. So because of this lack of having a bank near where I live or an ATM, I have to wait the two days and then make a timely transfer. I call and ask for a waiver but I've asked too many times they say.
This is a disability check and doesn't always come at the same time. I tried to transfer the money in Monday night and my balance said present balance however it wouldn't let me transfer so Tuesday morning they bounced the auto drafts. Had they just let me deposit to the business account none of this would of happened. They have taken so much money from me because of this and just keep saying, "well you can't deposit to this account because of insufficient funds". Well if I didn't have to transfer it wouldn't happen at all. I'm going to close everything with them. When I got this account they said they were international and we were moving, but they are not in N Carolina, Vermont. They failed to mention that. It's just funny that they can access my account to charge me but I can't access my account to save me??

It informs me that the bank can close my checking account for any reason, or no reason, and elects to close it effective July 24, 2014. The bank has suffered no loss at my hands, and is not under any threat of loss. I talk to 3 different people, going "up" the chain of management, and it's the same zombie routine: "Chase can close your account at will. We do not have to give a reason". The first person I talked to admitted that a computer algorithm was in play. In other words, I don't bounce enough checks or do enough other stuff which is profit-making for the bank for them to bother with me.
What disturbs me, as a legal professional, is the dark implication that there may be some thought of fraud afoot. Of course, I can't get any explanation as to why I, a loyal, paying customer, am now going to have to transfer my financial affairs to another bank. Remember: Due Process of law does not apply with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. You are guilty. Period.

It took several attempts but I finally got through to someone who stated that my account was closed but they gave no reason and stated that they did not have to give me any information. They sent me to the fraud department and I still did not get an answer. They kept stating my direct deposit was placed, then rejected and sent back and then put back in again. I had almost a grand in checking and about 800 in savings.

I was disputing this seven month extension or loss of payments on my Motor Home mortgage and for illustration purposes I sent in to E*Trade Financial both the old and new coupons for the two most recent months that I have made telephone payments on my mortgage along with the checks that I used to make the telephone payments with (pay-by-phone)...
E*Trade then deducted payments for the second time for these already paid for time periods where I sent in to them both my old and incorrectly numbered new mortgage coupons that they issued and the checks that I used to make my "pay-by-phone" payments on these two months. E*Trade was already paid for these two months using paid-by-phone and my checks were clearly marked so, (paid-by-phone) and (do-not-cash) etc... These checks were then cashed anyway in ERROR.
They deducted payments for these two months from my Bank One checking account a second time and my bank did not stop the duplicate check charges and I was left with an empty bank account leaving me with no money for anything while several weeks have passed by until finally it was all cleared up and the duplicate check charges were reversed along with the hundreds of dollars worth of NSF and overdraft fees assessed against my checking account...

I am currently on a vacation in Thailand that I have planned for 8 months. It's been kind of a cluster and I ended up spraining my ankle on the way to Bangkok. Had to go to the hospital, and was therefore stressed and distracted. The ATM I went to ate my card and I didn't realize it until later on. I was hoping to email to cancel the card and begin communication, but all I got was a form email to call. Had to find an international phone center. The first woman I spoke to knew I was in Thailand and said they could ship me a new card in either 2 or 10 days. But she was asking me all these questions no human would know the answer to off the top of their head.
So I had to call back once I was connected to wifi and logged into my account. The second woman I spoke to said she didn't know if they could send me a new card. I told her I had already been told it was possible. She then transferred me to a "specialist" who said that they could send me a card but have no way of knowing when it would get here because they use UPS. I said, "Isn't UPS a worldwide company?" The response, "Yes, but local delivery systems could be different." I later looked it up. There is a UPS delivery center in Bangkok.
The cost of those phone calls in the phone center was $30. I had no choice but to do a cash advance on my card which cost me close to $50 in fees. But I had no choice, because barely anyone takes cards here. I try to find an email to contact customer service but am told all complaints should be made through the secure message center. But you can only create a new message from a computer, not a phone or kindle (in my case). Does that make any sense in this day and age?! And there is no option to click on the full site like with many companies. Finally, I figure out a way to get into the full site on my phone and send a message, insisting that they refund me for the cash advance fees, considering all the time and money I spent sorting this out with them and their **, in knowledgeable representatives.
They contact me to let me know they are working on the refund. Out of the close to $50 they charged me in fees, they refunded me 28 cents. Said that in my contract, I approved not being refunded for cash advances. I replied that I didn't approve getting told different things by at least 6 people (the miscommunication about the ability to send the card continued in the secure message center conversations), being sent form letter after form letter written by a robot, and although being told time and time again that I matter as a client, the actions clearly show I do not.

I have been with Chase banking for 15 years. I have always given them the benefit of the doubt regarding issues (at times even defended them) and figured every bank has its problems. The last few times Chase has done system maintenance my cards could not be processed. The attempted transaction does not even go through to the bank's systems from the vendor. They are unable to see the attempted transaction and they blame the vendor so I tried multiple vendors with my cards and they were all declined due to a bank error. The bank still tried to tell me it was the vendor.
The first time I had this happen it was 11:30 pm and I had to get gas and all of my chase cards were being declined. I was lucky that I had just enough gas to get home and go to the gas station the next morning (which the card worked fine). There are a lot of things I can deal with, including charges and fees. They are for profit and I get that, but in my opinion this should be a simple fix! Cards should not be unavailable just because they are doing system maintenance. If they are unable to give you access to your cards during their system maintenance, a notice should go out that during "start time" and "end time" your cards may not be accessible due to maintenance.
When I spoke to them they said we do system maintenance during off business hours as not to affect people. Ten pm on a Saturday evening many people are out and about and will need access to their money. I have had many good experiences with Chase, I have had bad points to and recently the big reason I have stayed with them is because I really like my Disney debit card. This issue is not acceptable problem for me. Once I can understand, things happen, but ten or three times. I prefer to make sure that I have access to my money when things arise.

Chase Denied me for too much available credit and to many inquiries, 10, in the last 2 years. I only have 3% credit utilization and a total of $203000 of available credit. They also denied me of credit line on my mortgage. Never missed a payment, always been paid on time. So if you have excellent credit, do not ask Chase for a increase. They will just waste your time and give you a inquiry on your report and deny you at the same time. Never have I been denied for having too much available credit and the inquiries of which 4 are from Chase in the last 2 years. This also goes for mortgage credit lines so if you do not want a wasted inquiry on your report, do not use Chase. I can get an increase from Sears from $8000 to $14000 and be denied by Chase. Too much available credit and too many inquiries. I go by credit utilization so the more credit, the more I can spend and keep my utilization at 2 to 3 percent. SAVE YOURSELF ANOTHER WASTED INQUIRY.

I incurred interest charges. I attempted to get the charges reversed without success. Chase said there's no proof it was their fault so they would not make an adjustment.
Yet, they could not in any way show that I changed the default payment to minimum or that I approved the change. One rep said, "There's no way of knowing it was your fault or our fault." Despite their inability to demonstrate that I authorized the change, they would not accommodate me. Even meeting me halfway (refunding 50% of the interest charge) would have satisfied me.

I received a letter from Chase advising me that they were closing one of my debit cards, as I was no longer allowed to have more than one per the new bank policy. When inquiring if there was any possibility of an exception to that policy... the resounding NO followed for all three individuals I spoke with. I need to find another bank that cares what their customers want as CHASE clearly does not. One of the conditions of me moving my money to Chase was because they would allow me to have an extra debit card for my account. This "policy change" adversely impacts everything I do, from how I pay my bills to how my kids pay for the gas in their cars. Seriously, could we make banking with Chase any more inconvenient and still keep customers? Why are banks allowed to change the conditions of the use of existing accounts? Shouldn't customers have the right to continue to have the same privileges they signed up for when they opened their accounts?

My mother has an account with Chase and was recently involved in a horrific car accident leaving her unable to walk. I am her daughter and her full time caregiver. I am totally disgusted with Chase for several reasons, one being that my Mom's situation causes me to have to deal with Chase to withdraw and deposit money for her. The problem is I'm not on her account and she can't get to the bank to put me on her account. So it's a catch 22. I have had to have my Mom write me a check and then go to the bank to cash it, and they need an ID, your debit card, a manager override, and all the while you sit and wait a good 20 minutes at the drive up. Then depending on how they feel that day, they may or may not charge a $6 fee. That's nothing.
It's harder to deposit money than it is to withdraw it because Chase's new policy is that you need to have an account with them or be on the account with the person you are depositing money for. I went there today to deposit CASH with my Mom's deposit slip. So, first, they asked to see an ID. Secondly that is when they informed me that I needed to be on her account in order to deposit CASH!!!!! CASH!!?? WHAT?????? I couldn't believe it. I had my Mom's deposit slip along with the CASH and they refused it!!!!!!! HUH????? What a JOKE!!!!!!! This bank does NOT work with you. There has got to be a better way to deal with a customer in our situation than the way they have. Nothing but a headache every time I have gone there. I'm done. Ended up depositing the CASH in other account at another bank.

Chase bank send me a letter to notify their final decision to close my saving and checking accounts. I called them. They just keep telling me that they have the right to do so, but not giving me any reason why they make the decision. They can't give me any reason because I know they just don't have. The only thing I did to the account is to save money to the account, in order to buy a house. I have already signed a contract and paid the 10% down payment for my house. If I can't get approval for the loan, I will lose my down payment. I only have less than one month to get the loan, while they tell me they will close my accounts in a half month. I begged them for delaying the cancellation, but they keep telling me they have the right to do whatever they want to my account.
Chase bank actually don't care about their customers, not at all. When I say "you don't care about your customer, and don't care about what you've done to your customer," they only said sorry, and without any solution for what they've done to me. If I can't find a solution for myself, who I can blame? Right now, I just think that I should never ever open accounts with chase bank before and after.

This is my situation and complaint with Chase Bank, how they lie and contradict themselves with what they say to customers - not only the representative but also the executive department even after they contact me personally to tell me what was going to be done with my account. Everything happen on the 27th of March 2014 when my stepdad refund money was deposited by the IRS to my account, a Chase checking account. The bank authorized the direct deposit even though the name on the account did not match the direct deposit instead of denying the deposit and the refund going back to sender. Well two days later I see online account and there was an available balance of $3,780.00.
Before I keep going with my story, my stepdad about two months ago had a stroke and 2 mini heart attack and after that because of the financial situation and him being the provider he got up off bed and went to work and fell off a roof causing him to stop working completely and impossible to get off bed at all. So because of him unable to walk, he decided to direct deposit him tax refund on my account since he doesn't have a bank account and if he request check, he wouldn’t be able to go cash it.
Back to my story, because I saw an available balance on my account I went to the branch to get the available amount and was told that the money did not belong to me and that my account would be closed and the money return. I did not argue or anything but two weeks passed by and nothing was sent back to the IRS. So I send a message through the secure message in online Chase. I was very upset because they wouldn't allow me to get the money out and they didn’t send it back like they said but they were able to get $10.00 out of the money that was not mine.....
You must understand my families frustration that with my stepdad’s illness we were counting on that money for bills, gas, and the other bills we have and I'm very irritated frustrated that you speak to someone and they tell you something and give you hope and that day comes that we should of received it and nothing and when we contact the bank again tell us to go to a branch and the teller tells us to call the bank and the something over and over again is just ridiculous how everything said was lies. If they would get in our shoes how would they feel but is a bank that they don’t have any needs nor have any financial problems. Their set their families don’t have to worry about if their light bill is been paid for. Or stop paying one bill in order for the gas bill not to get disconnected. That must be amazing not to have any worries while others like my family has to work hard every day and worry every moment of what we are going to do.
Every family is always waiting for that tax season for the money that our parents have worked all year to get hoping to pay everything and be a little less stressed and debt relief but the bank wouldn’t understand our situation. All they can said is I apologize for your frustration or inconvenience. Well I hope no one has to go through anything like this but it happens every day every moment 24/7. Thank you for your time in reading my story hopefully something can be done or at least a different respond that the same I have received. I have send a power of attorney notarized to chase bank give me permission to get funds. That didn’t work. I send a power of attorney from 2848 to IRS for my stepdad and he requested for the IRS to please contact chase and ask to release funds. Hopefully that works. If not don’t know what my family is going to do.

I have been a Chase customer for about 8 years. Both my children have college accounts as well.

When she received the text alert about the deposits she immediately called customer service and was told they were aware of the problem and not to worry her account would be frozen... The next day there were several cash withdrawals they let go through in Chicago (again we live in Oklahoma) so she called them again and was told not to worry they will take care of it... Nothing was ever done and her account is $-2,0000. So I contact them and was told they needed police reports so we provided...
Now we are being told (by a very rude so-called manager of the fraud department) they closed the claim because it was past 30 days and we would be held responsible for the fraudulent activity because they couldn't determine if it was a fraud and there's nothing they can do... What are you kidding me, we are hiring an attorney and filing a complaint with the FDIC.

After speaking with Luigi **, the banker that took care of me, he told me he had to fax the power of attorney to their legal department. After he did, he was told that it needed further review and it will be done within 24 to 48 hours. On Tuesday, March 11, I went back to the bank to find out if it was reviewed. When Luigi called the legal department he was informed that it wasn't done yet.
When I asked to speak with the branch manager, I was told that he wasn't in so I asked to speak with the assistant manager. She told me that it can usually take up to 72 hours. Today, Thursday, March 6 being that it was past the 72 hours, I went by the branch to see if it was done and after speaking with the branch manager and he inquiring with the legal department, he told me that it has not been reviewed yet. I also speak with the district manager regarding this on a phone conference call at his office. While I was waiting at the branch to speak with the branch manager, I received a phone call from the district manager which was the result of an e-mail I have sent earlier today to customer service via my account's secure messaging on their web site inquiring about this.
In conclusion I was told by the bank & district manager that until their legal department approves it there is nothing they could do. I told them that this was ridiculous since I have used this power of attorney for my mom to deal with everything for her. From buying a car, managing her phone, TV, electricity billing accounts to other things and never had this much of a problem. I told both the branch and district manager that I will be filing a complaint with the Comptroller of the Currency regarding this. I am currently a customer of their bank and have a checking and savings account with them. I currently have an account joint with my mom at another bank; Ocean Bank; which I opened using the power of attorney on the same day but wanted to close that account and open it with Chase because Ocean Bank only has a few local branches and not as many branches everywhere and they are not as good as a bank as Chase is.

I get a letter from Chase saying my account had fraudulent activity. I called them the minute I seen the letter. I spoke with a representative and she told me that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing, a lot of people has had this happen before. She told me she was going to handle the situation by closing my account and letting the fraud department know someone got a hold of it. I never received any document saying my account was closed. Nobody called to ask any questions. When she told me everything was handled, I threw my card away.
A few months later, I tried to open a new account and I was told I had to pay a balance of over $2400. Mind you, the lady told me my account was closed. So, how did I get to the balance of -$2400? The representative at the branch printed out all the transactions that was done. It lasted from the middle of July to the end of August. Then in October and November someone tried to purchase Secure ID Lock. My account was never closed.
There was a check for $1500 and $400 deposited at two different Chase ATMs. My account was at $1,903.22. Immediately after they were deposited, they started to withdraw the money back out piece by piece. There was $91.45 left. 3 weeks later, 13 checks were deposited. The amounts were random. They all had weird numbers such as $215.79, $267.49, $299.73 and plenty more. 2 days later they deposited two more checks and one was for $10.00 and $213.96. My account was at $3,103.40. Those transactions were taken out by ATM Input Error.
A few days later they went to Walmart and purchased an item for 70 cents and cash back for $100 seven times and $100.99 three times. In which at this time my account was at the balance $29.68. How can you withdraw $100 from $29.68 nine times and the bank allowed it to happen with no problem. My account was at $3,103.40. When the bank finally went in and did ATM Input ERROR for all the transaction done, I was negative $2,351.15. *(So, where did the other almost $1000 go?) Chase charged my account with overdraft fee and a returned item fee for a purchase with Secure ID Lock that happened in November. I was then left -$2400.15.
NOTE: Chase told me that didn't see any of these transactions as being fraudulent activity. They had no images of the checks that was deposited. An average person would not go to Walmart and purchase something and take out $100.70 nine times back to back. They claimed someone called to talk to a disputer to verify the funds. They will not listen to recorded phone call.
The representative at Chase told me I needed to file a police report. So that I did. I went to three different counties and filed a police report. The county that I live in told me that I needed to go to each county that the transactions were done in because it's not in their jurisdiction. When I finally reached the last one, the officer asked me why I was running around doing the detective work. Chase and my home county should be trying to solve the issue. I spoke a senior specialist who told me they do not work with the police departments. They handle the situation on their own. Their idea of handling the situation is by closing the account and not investigation. I'm stuck with bill of -$2400.15 and the criminal walked away with money that I never had.
I've been waiting almost 3 weeks for police reports. Nobody wants to help. Chase is trying to stress to me that I gave my pin away and they can't do nothing to help me. I have even asked them to look at my transactions that I made from when I first opened my account till now. They won't do it. Like I said, I never had money in my account.

I've deposited my pay check twice a month with Chase for over 8 years. About 3 years ago, the bank suddenly started refusing to accept my paychecks for deposit. I am clergy and clergy in our church use their baptismal names, not their legal names for professional use. My checks are made out to my professional name. They accepted them with no problem for 5 years and told me when I opened the account there would be no problem. I endorsed each check with my professional name (as the check was made out) and then my legal name (the one on the account). They told me I would need to associate my professional name with the account in order to accept them. I did this, twice. Yup, for some reason the idiot who did it the first time didn't get it right. I even went to lengths to clearly establish that I was the same person under both names for them. Then they refused to accept my paycheck for deposit even though that name was associated with the account.
Today I go to deposit my check, I am well known in this branch, carry large balances and have two personal accounts and a business account with them. The teller informs me that my paycheck will have to be held for 5 days because it is a "second party check". I informed her it was not, that I had been through all that, her attitude was, "tough". It is being held.
I tried calling the branch manager, but all I could get was a recording that told me if I really needed to talk to someone to call their 800 number and talk to a telephone banker (i.e. somebody in a distant city, or country, who knows nothing about me or my account), then hung up on me. Great service when you can't call your own local bank and talk to anybody. This is how Chase treats its customers, their attitude is your money is theirs and they will let you have it when they want you to have it, and what you can do with it and when. Crooks all.

Be careful with Chase Online Banking. Even if you have a printed proof of payment from the activity site, it is not accurate. The check that Chase is supposed to mail to your payee may not have gotten to the right place and you won't know this until you get an arrears notice from your payee. There is no backstop in the service to verify that the check Chase mailed has been cashed. AND, Chase will blame the Post Office. Sure, ultimately the Post Office is the penultimate stop with your transaction BUT your contract is with Chase, The Bank and NOT with the Post Office.

I'm very angry now because CHASE did not refund all fraudulent transactions (~ 7k+ USD). I was a victim of Identify Theft and wasn't able to access my account since Nov 2013 because I was overseas. I didn't know of the identify theft issue until January only when my auto pay transaction to a credit card got rejected. When I did able to reset my online account, I found out about the fraudulent transactions and immediately reported to CHASE. Apparently, CHASE has this time frame technicality that puts a limit on how old the transactions they can refund and that is from the moment of the start of the fraud. I ended up getting nothing even if the hackers got money up until mid-Jan 2014 since the fraud started last Nov 2013!!! What an INJUSTICE. I wanted to sue Chase for this!!!

HORRENDOUS - I have been banking with this bank for over 5 years now. I have a credit card that has always been paid up. Last week I went to the bank to open up a savings account thinking that Chase would be a good lender to work with, right? WRONG. The banker was extremely uneducated on the products and services offered with savings accounts. Not only that, but he opened my account and 2 days later I receive letters from the company that I am ineligible to bank with Chase (Mind you, I have had a credit card with them for over 5 years). To top it off, my account is now locked and customer service says there is nothing they can do for me. I wouldn't recommend this bank to ANYONE!!! I have used Wells Fargo for years and they are much much better. BE WARE! THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AS AWFUL AS THE BANK ITSELF!

I have been dealing with Chase and their dirty tactics on and off for two years. After I decided to pay off my credit card in FULL and cancel it, I get new APR charge. Forget the fact I had to call twice to get my card cancelled because they somehow forgot to turn it off the first time. I will never trust Chase with another dime and I will make sure no one close to me does either.

My husband passed away in January 2013, I was waiting for some money to come in from the army. I wasn't sure how much money I was supposed get, and I wrote a check for $1,000 and they mistakenly took it for $7,000 and had to pay back $6000. They did and a few days later they paid me again, I didn't know that this had happened, I thought that the army or the VA had sent it to me. This happened in Nov. Two days ago, I went on my account to check it and found out that I was $2,553.47 negative. I had to call them to find out what was going on and that was what they told me. I don't think that I should have to pay them back the money that they made a mistake. They took my pay check and told me that it wasn't their problem that I don't have any money to pay my rent or any bills. So If you have Chase, keep a look out for them in case they make a mistake and put money in your account.

I Don't complain too much, but - So I paid back a large Chase Overdraft Payment the very Next Day (due to my error of having the wrong day by just one day on an automatic payment). Chase says that I paid the overdraft back TOO soon (before their closing date) and the computers could only apply my payment to the Lower interest rate instead of applying it to the higher interest rate like they're supposed to. So NOW I'm Forced to have my payment refunded back, pay the High interest 19.5% rate for 25 days, then pay the Payment AGAIN after the closing date so their computer knows where the payment is supposed to go.
MORAL: Before you decide to pay back an overdraft, CALL Chase Bank and ask them if their computers can handle the payment at that time! This is all perfectly clear to me now. Their computers only do what is best for the bank, and not what's best for the consumer. BTW - If I hadn't caught it on my statement, they would have kept charging me the 19.5% for the rest of time.

If you work with Chase Bank just pay attention to that notice below and keep watching every transaction in your account. Tonight I got an alert message from the bank saying my account was negative. I didn't understand it as I'm in Brazil, has been 2 weeks and I'm not using my card here. I decided to check it and I just saw few transactions that I didn't recognize were made by me. It was from Comcast (IL), Nick's Pizza (TX), Home Depot (TX) and others = $250. After many tentative calling the customer service they answered me around 3:30am here in Brazil. The answer was: "We will cancel your card Ms. ** and put the money back to your account."
Oh great! It is fine, you should do it Mr. Chase, but it is the SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH. Actually, the card that I have now I didn't use it yet because I got the same problem 2 days before my trip. That time was a pavement company from Chicago getting money from my account.So, I have been a Chase client about 3 years, but I'm getting tired because they cannot investigate who is behind my account doing all of the transactions, and just keep canceling the cards and sending others.

Banks are supposed to hold your money and protect it, this is not what they do at Chase. I had a fraud charge on my account which I was told would be refunded into my account. Before it was refunded my monthly phone bill debited and overdrafted my account because the fraudulent charge had all but wiped it out. My contract with Chase specified not to allow charges to overdraft my account and to deny them instead. They charged me a $34 overdraft fee when it should not have gone through because of my contract not to mention if my money had been put back into my account in a timely manner (it took them over 2 weeks) then it wouldn't have been an over draft in the first place.
By the time my money was put back they had charged me another $15 as an extended overdraft fee because my account was in the negative while I waited for my money to be returned. To top it all off they then charged me a $6 service fee because I didn't make at least 5 debit card transactions that month. After talking with them the only thing put back in my account was the fraud charge. Horrible customer service! They charge so many fees it's amazing I have any money left.

Just a couple of days before Christmas, our Chase debit card was declined while buying Xmas presents when we knew we had money in the account. We later found out Chase limited approximately 2 million cards' limits because of potential problems with the Target breach. This has really bothered us, since it's our money they decided to hold back, not even credit, and we are protected under Zero Liability coverage. Anyone who is interested in joining a class action against Chase for this issue, please email me.
