My bank has gotten to the point I have to let them know in advance if we are travelling. If I forget I have a 50 / 50 chance of my card not working in a gas pump 2 states away.

Probably be impossible to call someone there at the best of times...

Joisy? Fuddagetaboutit! :eek:


Seriously, I’d be making some calls. Get someone’s name and keep in touch until you get it.

They said a check is in the mail.
I will never trust that bank again, ever, Green, goes by two letters.
They should be out of business instead of being bought up by another company.
When you can;t trust you bank to do simple things like hold your money.........
As I said, they gave my wives money to someone else who typo'd their account number. Name wasn;t even close (was a male who got the money).
My wife found out when checks bounced, they were exceptionally unapologetic.
Then gave my money to the state and "said" they notified me before they did it. Verified they had my correct phone number and email, but used neither of these.
Sent to my old house (well they said they did).
three months to get to this point, hopefully the check will show up soon.

Electronic xfers are an issue for me. I tried to track one down from my bank, "who is blah blah" and they could not help. Plus, I found out they have a limited amount of time for reimbursements on "fraud".

I've only had one issue. Went to the bank, filled out the paperwork as I couldn't figure out why money was transfered somewhere. Bout a week later, money was put back in. It was only a 2 page report, pretty easy overal when I was at the bank asking about the transaction.

Only issue was I found out the next day after filing the report that I paid for my dads car insurance electronically to help him get a discount since he transfered his insurance from Pa to NC (apparently I authorized the transaction like 6 month ago). In my defense I asked my dad the day before I went in to file the report if he had a certain $ bill that I may of taken care of for him and he said no. Next day at dinner (night of the day I filed the report) at the dinner table, he says, hey, how much did you say was transfered? Same amount as his car insurance. Go figure:laughing: Had to call the bank the next day like an idiot telling them the transfer was actually legit, but to late. Had to do the process all over again with the auto insurance people.

Buyer beware, Saver beware.

I don't care if it's a saving account, checking account or any other kind of account. Person saving money still needs to check on the balance at least once a month to see if there is anything strange going on. Now, bury your money out back, you're probably safe.

My first checking account was at BofA and the account number I was given was tied to someone with tax liens...

The first 3 checks I had written bounced and Dad was livid.. I said I would never write a check without money

We both went down at opening and found I had zero money and my money, that of a 16 year old had been taken by IRS.

At least I was redeemed and we did not leave until I had a new account, my money and special coding my account would be Free

You should be able to set alerts with your bank to text you for any withdrawals or deposits. Every bank or credit union we use has that available.

Most will text you your balance every week or at some other designated interval.

The bank that escheated me stopped all correspondence right before this happened.
