Comments on: Make Banks Treat You Like The Valued Customer You Are http://www.greenpandatreehouse.com/2007/12/256/ Personal Finance for College Students and New Graduates Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:14:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Green Panda http://www.greenpandatreehouse.com/2007/12/256/comment-page-1/#comment-4262 Green Panda Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:54:51 +0000 http://www.greenpandatreehouse.com/2007/12/12/256/#comment-4262 I'm sorry Connie that BB&T has decided to work the deposit and withdrawals that way. I wish banks would stop being greedy with their policies. It's not like we're asking them to sop fees. We just want reasonable service. If they want to withdraw from my account in 24 hours, fine, then do the same with my deposits. @Chelle: It has a been a decline in some places to have decent, let alone good, customer service. Even if it means I have to pay a little extra, I'll go to a place with better service. I’m sorry Connie that BB&T has decided to work the deposit and withdrawals that way.

They have started not crediting deposits for several days, and then they credit the withdrawals before the deposits. We haven't gotten stuck with any fees yet, but it does upset me. I believe that is a deliberate tactic to raise funds since we have banked with them for years and this has just started happening. I think it's probably time to start checking out ING direct myself. I like that they offer interest on your checking accounts for one thing. I have to have a 2k min balance to get a paltry 1.25% interest at BB&T.

It doesn't matter where - fighting with a gas station attendant to let my 5 yr old use the restroom to wasting 4 hours of my life with AAA...I think it took me about an hour just to order new checks at my bank not too long ago. I'm so freaking sick of it all!

It's just a hassle to make all that noise for something so small. Blue Panda: Didn't they sound as the CSR were reading a script? It was creepy. I hate BoA's silly fees. Are you cooking dinner tomorrow? (Blue Panda is my husband.) :D Mrs. Micah: You’re right, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. It’s just a hassle to make all that noise for something so small.
