Chase will have a class action lawsuit coming soon – You can't have this many customers with the same fraudulent claims. We've never had Insufficient funds posted and now have 3 in one week, due to their check holding scam….

Speak up and speak out – call your local News station, Newspaper and keeping blogging about it. The message will get out really fast…

These are the same big banking scum bags that have helped put our economy in the garbage!

Pass it on!!! all the best!!

I HATE CHASE!!!
I was a WaMu banker and had to go through the transition to Chase. I was told I could use my Wamu checking card with no issues, then it stopped working while i still had a positive balance. I went to a branch and now say I HAVE to switch to a Chase debit card…
The worst change from Wamu to Chase is how long it takes a check to clear. At Wamu you could go in and deposit a check and that money would be available for you to use instantly. At Chase you have to wait 4+ DAYS…WTF!>!?!? I thought there were supposed to be a minimal amount of changes and only positive ones at that!?
Does anyone know of a bank in CA where the checks clear FAST, like Wamu used to?

I imagine you've opened a new account somewhere by now. Chase systems in California will be online with the rest of country starting October 26. You should be set to bank at any Chase location with no issues. I'd recommend holding onto your original account because when it transfers over official to Chase you still get most of the benefits of WaMu Free Checking with Chase (Chase Extra Free Checking). If you plan on switching, and want to keep with a larger bank, I would recommend Wells Fargo.

Avoid Bank of America and Citibank. They are riddled with problems--most big banks are.

Wells Fargo & USBank are good for National Banks--but they still have some issues surrounding ethics, subprime loans, high fees, etc. Wells Fargo has the most locations in California + they will soon absorb Wachovia into their mix making even more locations.

If you desire to go local seek out a non-profit credit union.
Low fees, good loan and interest rates, and overall they have sound, ethical business practices. Plus, a lot of them are part of the CO-OP Network which allows to you make withdrawals, deposits, and use ATMs for free at other credit unions for FREE.

I live in Washington now and opened all of my accounts at credit union called BECU and couldn't be more pleased.

I just moved all my money to Wachovia will shortly be Wells Fargo next year…

yaya for another merger.. just kidding.

wamu i loved them but chase sucks.

so i live in florida but kept my ca account because they messed up my florida account.

i deposited 1200 to chase and they told me that i had to wait for it to be deposited over night via next day delievery.

they credited my account four times for 1200 and debited my account three times for 1200 and once for 1050
they owed me 250. then like 3 weeks later they deposited 1200 again.
i was pissed so i took my money to wachovia

i opened up my statement today and they debited my account 2000
i am so pissed i hate this bank

i can’t wait to give em a piece of my mind

i can’t walk into a bank becuase florida is completely converted.

i hate them and hope that they sink.

think everyone should close their account
