Loyal customers should be valued and appreciated.

This man made one simple mistake that led to overdraft fees.

He asked for reconsideration since he has been a loyal member of the bank, but when the bank refused, he got revenge.

Read the full story below for all the details.

A bank customer scorned

I’ve been a customer of the same bank for almost twenty years.

I’ve had investment accounts, a mortgage, credit cards, retirement, the works.

Recently, I used the wrong card to pay some bills, and it caused an overdraft.

Yes, I recognize that was my fault.

This man thinks they should reconsider, as he has been a loyal client.

But after decades of being a customer, I think they should make an exception and refund the 105 dollars in fees.

They refused.

They refused rudely.

He told them he’d go to another bank.

I even mentioned the length of time I’ve done business with them.

That I’d go to another bank.

And the fact that I use bad customer service experiences in my training classes.

I hold those classes twice a month.

The bank owed him 1¢ interest due to some error in closing his account.

I went to the branch and closed my account.

The banker didn’t do it correctly, sp at the end of the month there was 1¢ interest they owed me, and they mailed me a check.

He reported not having received the check 6 times.

I have worked in banking, so I know it costs about 35 dollars.

That’s what it takes for them to put a stop payment on a check and send a new one.

Needless to say, I have reported their check “lost” six times.

He also tells people he knows not to use that bank.

So, not only did they lose a 20-year customer.

They’ve now paid over 200 dollars to reissue checks.

And I tell over 200 people a month not to use their bank.

Petty, I know.
