(8,846 posts)When we first moved to Florida, I started doing business with Wachovia. The people at our local branch were a pleasure to do business with. They would do about anything to assist us. Then Wells Fargo took over, and the nightmare started.
I never had to deal with "corporate" at Wachovia, but it started becoming a regular thing with Wells. The same people at the local branch still tried to help, but corporate would drag their feet, and lie to them too. I wound up closing 3 accounts, and canceling two credit cards, just to get away from them. Went to a credit union. If I could refinance my mortgage some place else, I would in a heartbeat. But, it's underwater.
Wells was so fucked up, I couldn't even make a house payment (always 2 weeks early) because they changed all the account numbers and even though I presented the payment coupons, they wouldn't go through. The teller got the branch manager, and it took her about 2 hours to get it straightened out.
Loved the employees. Hate the company.
