What’s worse than overdraft protection, where you buy a latte and your account goes $2 into the negative and you get assessed a $35 fee? How about Chase charging you the same fee for rejecting payments on an account with no money that they won’t let you close?
If you screw up, it takes Chase seconds to debit your account an overdraft fee. If they screw up and take out not one but two mortgage payments, it takes at lot of calls, faxed paperwork, and 7-10 days for you to get your money back.
Read this if you want to read about JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon whine about how banks are being treated unfairly by Washington. Given the fact that large banks are raking it in due to a favorable financing position created for them by low interest rates (aka created by Washington), I have little sympathy.
Interesting. This article in the Seattle Times seems to indicate that the Washington Mutual logo and name actually belong to the former holding company, not Chase.
Thinking of trying to short-sell your property with a Chase mortgage, yea, don’t bother.
As expected, WaMu shareholders have filed an objection to the Chase/FDIC settlement, basically because they get nothing from it. My concern is that the settlement helps sweep this whole event under the rug and the shenanigans that caused so much pain for WaMu customers and shareholders does not get fully investigated. If you have been affected by the WaMu seizure, I urge you to contact your representatives to ask them to support the investigation in to the WaMu seizure.
JP Morgan Chase is being sued by a Mexican businessman for $500 million after he claims Chase injected itself into his deal to sell his business for $400 million to try and wring some fees out of the deal. Interesting the kind of trouble Chase is getting itself into these days.
JP Morgan Chase has apparently drawn the ire of the AFL-CIO as evidenced by the recent mock trial the staged and found Chase CEO Jamie Dimon guilty of conspiracy to wreck the economy.
