Hi Adam, Your thoughts on "My Bank Story" would be very valuable to me and would like to hear the opinion of the other VIP's. My story actually happened today. My story is: since 2009, I opened a high yield checking at a bank in Texas City, Tx. and was given a Bank card so that I could make purchases either debit/credit. The following year I established a saving account and also got a bank card for that account at the said bank. Sometime in February of this year I got a new card in the mail to replace the old one. For the first few weeks the card worked fine wherever I made purchases but, all of a sudden my card stopped working. It created some very embarrassing moments for me at the restaurants, wal-mart, gas station and barbershop. I called the bank and related the problem. They told me that sometimes individual business' systems at times mal-function and that maybe the reason. As the problem continues, I call the bank a second time letting them know that the problem still exist and not been resolved and that I need to used my card for purchases. Finally they told me to call the number at the back of the card and inform them of the problem. I called the number and they told me that the card was not fully activated but, now it is and that should take care of it. Then, this past saturday after getting an oil-change at the dealership, it was time to pay and the card machine rejected my card. Furtunately, I had another card. Then this morning, while monitoring my account online, I remembered I needed to call the bank to let them know that the problem still exist and I expect some immediate action on this matter. I called the bank and asked to speak to the branch manager. To my amazement, after informing the manager of the the problem, the branch manager said: my accounts are now closed and she cannot tell me a whole lot partly because she is new to the bank and that the decision came from upper management. About 21/2 hours later (3:30 p.m.), I tried to access my account again and saw that my online access was deactivated. Within ten minutes, I was on my way to the bank to withdraw all my money from both accounts, and I did. Whilst in the bank, I ask the manager, what is the reason for closing my accounts and without notifying me in a professional, timely and business like manner? She re-iterated that the decision was not hers and that there is nothing more she knows about why that decision was reached and by whom! I then left the bank with two cashiers check. My question to Adam is: Can banks do these type of things and if not, should I leave it like that? I 'd like to hear the VIP comments! Thanks in advance Molasses.

Easy, Excellent post, many thanks. Great strategies to impliment by someone who cares about protecting wealth!

I am amazed to see the magnitude of hate you people have for our government officials. To wish the death this of american so much, is appalling and disgusting to say the least (and am sure you all boasts of being americans and patriotic) No wonder why we have so much murders in this country of ours. I thought only terrorists can hate an american to this degree, but now accept that I've been proven wrong. To hate those who have the rule over us is going against God's word (Rom. 13:1-3) even if we don't like their policies. Only God can change an evil heart when he is ask to do so....... Please ask Him!
