You know how to handle these situtiations. Tell them to call you back on your cellphone because you intend to record the conversation so there's no misunderstandings.<BR/><BR/>That ought to shut it down right there.<BR/><BR/>If not and they call you, DO RECORD THE CONVERSATION, but make sure to ask first if SHE IS RECORDING THE CONVERSATION.<BR/><BR/>If she says she isn't and that she wishes you wouldn't, tell her that you believe that she's committing willful fraud. And to PROVE to you that she's not recording the conversation.<BR/><BR/>Bottle her up in that until you both agree to record the conversation. Don't answer any questions of hers. Merely state that she's in error. If she insists that she's not, ask for YOUR SIGNATURE PAGE on the card account as well as the bank account to be scanned and sent. RIGHT THIS MINUTE.<BR/><BR/>If she hasn't bailed by then and apologized and fixed it, you give her the number of a friend who's an attorney and tell her to sort it our with him or her.<BR/><BR/>Give her a deadline and that if your attorney hasn't heard from her superivsor (get the name) by that time, you will close your account and will make a wire fraud complaint against the bank and her and her supervisor with the US Attorney's office in Westwood. But no matter what civil or criminal action you plan to bring, you want the names of all her supervisors plus the head of public relations and the head of consumer marketing.<BR/><BR/>By the end of this conversation everything will have been fixed and you will have been given a free upgrade in service to a PREMIER account.KELSO'S NUTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636889771989672795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20309032.post-2862953905094003402008-11-26T16:09:00.000-08:002008-11-26T16:09:00.000-08:00my bank was Commerce - and they werent that bad. ...my bank was Commerce - and they werent that bad. now they are TD bank -- lets see how long before they become like every other fucking bank.<BR/><BR/><BR/>and as for banks --- why in Manhattan are the 75,000 branches of every one..

She provided contact information for the police, along with her report number, and it wasn't enough for them. The collection place refused to contact us, and demanded that she do so, obtain a copy of her police report and fax it to them.<BR/><BR/>In brief, institutional fucktardery abounds.
