Where to begin with my Chase nightmare?! I just cried over them I was so frustrated and violated! After fees on my business checking that made no sense (for inactivity – nowhere in their documentation does it state this as a concern), I closed the account, moving funds to the savings until I could transfer to another institution. Today I noticed a fee on the savings, telling me I needed a minimum balance. When I asked what that was, they put me on hold for a while (they don’t know??) and came back with $10k. Agggghhh. They even said it says in “their notes” that I was informed. They stated that the only place this is stated is in their employee info. I already have a BBB report started from the checking issue and now I am to contact the CEO’s office. I already know how that will go.

there is nothing nice i have to say about chase i have been banking with them for a while and while with them my account has been broken in to twice whith me paying for there mistakes and they charge me late fee after my direct depost is already posted for a week more then one time. with chase you will end up paying more to keep your account open then you get paid!!they pray on those of us that get direct deposit they dont post there fees untill after you pay your bills and the say it takes a while for there fee to show up and thats the way they justify taking all your money as of right now im paying 194.86 for a .70cent charge i hate chase an i would not have anyone bank there they try to make u feel small and unimportant! when the telphone bankers cant even explain to you why your being charged!! so i would just like to say chase SUCKS!!!!!

Are you kidding me? This is a CYA move on their part. There not interested in good customers because those don’t pay fees. They need individuals who are louse with keeping track. They offer no ideas on how to avoid the fees beyond the basics like look at your statement and keep track. Good luck with chase on reversing fees if not informed. Their not responsible for lost MAIL!!!

Financial institutions must provide information to their customers on these fees and charges. Under the Truth in Savings Act, banks are required to notify customers of any change in terms within 30 days. If you are getting charged for something you did not know about, make sure you raise this with your bank and ask for a rebate on any unexpected fees. So if you are getting charged for something you did not know about, make sure you raise this with your bank.

The sad thing is that some people don’t see some or all of these 5 suggestions as common sense. I know plenty of people that don’t check their balance ever (tip #1) and I don’t even write down any transaction (tip #2), of course that is because I check my balance religiously (tip #3), which then helps me to avoid mistakes (tip #4), and that then causes me to not be overdrawn (tip #5). It seems that if someone doesn’t do one of these tips there is a chance that they could fall into the catergory of one of missing one of these other tips. hopefully these will become common sense for everyone, and soon!
