ugh. i hate chase.
nine years later and they're still trying to tell me my old account in NYC remains open.

'so you owe us a $5 fee.'
'we just charged that fee to your account'
'your $0 account is now overdran at -$5.'
'that's a $40 late fee'
'so you owe us $45'
...and so on.

Chase is horrible.
Chase has horrible customer service and charges fee's for fucking everything.
This sucks.

Holy shit. Shareholders, bondholders and employees get no reacharound whatsoever if the deal is as WSJ and CNBS report, and somehow not FDIC but "some other arm of government" to pick up the tab for the toxic waste JPM wouldn't touch. Try to spot FDIC staffers in your local branch.

This here says that WAMU has not accepted any deals brokered by the FDIC.

Viking Bank. Local. Stable. Friendly. (Assuming you think of Ballard as "friendly," which it technically isn't.) And they understand the value of a hard-pillaged dollar.

Thank God I invested in Morgan Stanley last week, and not WaMu.

Still nothing on their main site about all this.

Guess they don't care about customers.

Time to switch to WSECU.

I've had dreadful experiences with Chase (as a credit card provider). I definitely won't keep my former WaMu account open much past the transition. No big thing, I should be using a credit union anyway, WaMu's always just been ubiquitously convenient.

On the downside, the money I speculatively blew into WaMu stock recently is gone, but I'm more concerned with the effects on friends who work at WaMu.

Mark me down as another Chase hater. They could care less about customer service. If their CEO was in a burning car on the side of the road I would not stop to piss on it to put out the fire!
