Ladies and gents, this is what malicious compliance is all about…

And it can be oh-so-wonderful when it’s done the right way!

Read on and find out what happened this time!

Bank won’t let me withdraw all funds? Okay.

“I moved from Pennsylvania to Michigan a few years ago and only go home once a year or so.

A few years back I transferred the vast majority of my bank account to Michigan, but they were giving me a hard time about closing the account and so I withdrew all funds except for $1.31.

I haven’t touched the account since that time so two years later I get a notice for inactivity stating that I will be charged five dollars if my account remains inactive for 2 years.

This was annoying…

I spoke with 3 different people on the phone but they would not let me close out the account without incurring a fee and since I’m never moving back to that town I refuse to pay them or add any money to the account.

Cue malicious compliance.

So I have to interact with the account once every two years or else pay you five dollars?

Fine, give me $0.01 please.

LOL.

When I was there in person last month I withdrew one penny from the account so now it’s good for another two years.

The attendant definitely gave me a weird look but at this rate my account will remain open for the next 260 years!”
