Chase Bank - thieves!

Believe this or believe it or not, Chase Bank have a wonderful gimmick for making money. We decided to pay off the 29.99999% interest rate card last January. Oh, but there was a finance charge for doing that over the phone which was not included in the "final" payment. So we get a statement with not only that finance charge but additional charges for "late" payments.

Three attempts later, we have yet again paid them $5:28 plus an unknown fee for paying over the phone. We'll see if they hit us next month with additional finance charges.

Maybe the CEO of Chase Bank would dip into his own pocket and pay off this otherwise impossible to clear debt!

Argh!

Yes they ARE thieves!!! And impossible to deal with! We were 'lucky' enough to have our mortgage 'bought' by them! What a nightmare! Not to mention problems I had with them in the past w/ a direct deposit account! ~ A

Omg my old Wamu credit card interest was high I think around 14% but that's nothing on Chase Bank which gave me a lovely rate of 29.99%. What thieves, I'm so mad, I'll be paying this down as soon as possible, and then promptly leaving this bank. Even Capital one, and all my other credit cards have more reasonable interest than this. What a joke, this bank should be shut down.
