The turds. I got to watch them all the time. My business with them is done. No more

I had a odd thing happen with my last auto loan with HSBC! I was down to 3 payments, when they stopped sending a bill. I had enrolled with auto-debit so the payments came automatically out of my checking, but I still wondered why they did that!

Thats odd.
Stopped sending a bill, but continued to bill for 3 mo?

what purpose would that serve?

Truly odd. I hate dealing with folks I cant talk too.

Ebay is more honest than these banks

Media determined to destroy the economy by talking it down. There is no other issue on which Rats can run.

For the record.....Discover will never close the account.

Somehow my wife aquired a Discover account. Not sure how it happened, but it was definitely not intentional. She has written tons of letters and always tells them when they call to make some bogus special offer that she doesn’t have a Discover account.

This has been 5 years at least. They keep the accounts live to be relevant.

I have heard good things about HSBC. Aside from that anomaly are you satisfied with them?

Banks (which acquire one another regularly) are all run by the same people, who move from one to another, and then go on to teach young people how to run banks.

How can one possibly be much different, let alone any better, than another in the long run?

I havent a problem with commerce. I hate that these dickheads keep changing the rules of agreement without my consent

commerce doesn’t screw people. People screw people.

There are still plenty of houses for sale, but the number of transactions has plummeted, and the unemployment rate among mortgage brokers has skyrocketed.

As in a few other professions I could mention, the pimps never do the heavy lifting, or take the direct risks, but always take their significant cut.

No exceptions.

Couldn't happen to nicer people...

This nugget is coming from someone who can't balance their own checkbook.

But is it true?
Attack the messenger.

Brilliant!

This sounds familiar...

I have an account that was set up fraudulently, never "activated" my card (if they ever take me to court to "pay" any balance whatsoever, it should be interesting to see them trying to prove that I DID, while I have an opportunity to show the jury how the account was created.

I would really enjoy that.

And Discovery would also. I don't expect to see them in court.

someone once said...

I Hate Banks
by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?
Well...lend me a nickel & lend me a dime,
repossess my house any old time.
Financial institutions think they're so high faluting...
Just a bunch of fruits in three piece suits,
trying to steal all my loot.
Things are smelling pretty rank,
We must be near a stinking bank.
Smells worse than Rockefellars feet,
Wall Street can eat my meat.
Yeah throw the moneylenders out of the temple;
I hate banks its just that simple.
Royal Crown Palm Ade Tin,
is a the best thing to keep your money in.
Mason jar is okay too,
if you see a bank well you know what to do.
Now, lemme tell you people something...
The only banks I like, well, I like Ernie Banks alright.
And I like the banks of the Mississippi River...
Yeah, and I like banks of fender twin reverb...
Electric guitar amplifiers behind me, raging on the stages...
Well,when I walk in they treat me like a dog;
want to hit them in the head with a doo-doo log.
Republicans, one and all...
Their talleywhackers are mighty small.
Stealing from the poor gonna give to the rich...
Wanna make the bank president twitch in a ditch.
Yeah, see that teller with the blue hair,
giving me the evil-eye stare.
Won't cash my check don't like my ID...
got the security guard after me.
If I was E. F. Sloane,
I'd say the Dow Jones can suck my bone.
Yeah.
Everybody say the three magic words!
I want you to help me say the words!
I want you to repeat after me!
I HATE BANKS!
Can't stand 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Don't Like 'em!
I HATE BANKS!
Bunch of Foo-Foo's!
I HATE BANKS!
Contrary like a big zit!
I hate banks...
I just can't stand 'em.
Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.
Six feet under thats where they belong...
I hate banks is the name of this song.
I think I'll rob myself one or two...
Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?
Now lemme tell you something...
I'm not real fond of the PHONE COMPANY either!
You know?
Yeah, and I don't like the cable TV company.
You know why I don't like the cable TV company?
Cause they just be sucking that stuff right out the sky!
THEY don't have to pay nuttin for it!
I just get me one of them bootleg cable boxes,
and get me one of them climb the pole and stick the thing in...
I ain't gonna pay for it!
NOOOOO!!!!"

Up to that point, I was very satisfied with them. I had a special deal when I took out the loan. I was to receive back the first years interest paid as a rebate. Without any action on my part, within a few weeks of my 12th payment I received my rebate check. I was shocked!! I thought I would have to jump through hoops to get my rebate.

I forgot to mention above that there has never been a charge or any other use of the Discovery card.
