[GPSCC-chat] Problems With Chase Bank

[Donna Wallach]

Hi John,

I had a Wamu bank account and then was stuck with Chase when the banks got
bailed out. I hated Chase from the beginning - I was being charged for
withdrawing money from the ATM machine, among other charges. The straw that
broke the camels back for me was when they were going to start charging me
money because I couldn't keep my bank account at $1,000 or more. I found a
credit union and switched as fast as I could. I was a very happy person the
day I could walk into Chase and close out my checking and savings accounts!
Chase Bank is as bad as Bank Of America considering the War Crimes they
fund.
