US Bank Rip Off
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
I cried because I had no shoes...until I met a person who had no
feet!
That's right folks...Like many of the other folks who had been
taken for a ride by US Bank, I too had been cheated of a couple of
hundred bucks. After being lied to multiple times, I just gave up
while being amazed at the level of deception this bank would stoop
to in order to save a paltry $200.
Then I came across this wrenching story (dated 13 Oct 2006):

Silas Braxton (who suffers from end-stage renal failure) and his
wife Evelyn Casey-Braxton were served foreclosure papers by US Bank
because...get this...US Bank lost their mortgage payment checks!
An excerpt from the article:
---------------------------------------
"In fact, we have a receipt to prove it," Casey-Braxton said. (
that they had paid their monthly mortage )
When the Braxtons went back to the bank to complain, they showed
the clerk the receipt that proved they had paid their bills before
the loan had been foreclosed on. They were stunned to hear that it
didn’t matter.
"They told us that anyone can (make a fake) receipt," Braxton said.
"What’s the point of giving them out if they won’t honor their own
receipts?"
He said people at the bank made him and his wife feel like it was
their fault, even though the bank had lost the checks.
---------------------------------------
Let me repeat that:
He said people at the bank made him and his wife feel like it was
their fault, even though the bank had lost the checks.
Read the article and do your own due diligence before doing
business with this evil institution!
Remember in the late 50s, Ford tried to save its embarrassing
failure of a car by flooding magazines with ads that screamed "The
Edsel is a success."? The public was not taken in by these flashy
slogans. My question to those reading this review is: Will you fall
hook, line and sinker for US Bank's 5 Star guarantee while they
continue to hoodwink the likes of the Braxton couple? What did the
Braxtons do to deserve this hell?
By the way, this is not a chance happening! About two years back, I
had come across another identical case of US Bank foreclosing on a
property in an almost identical manner!
A challenge: Find me a single bank among the nation wide chain of
banks that is WORSE than US Bank!
I am continually amazed at good hearted nature of the American
public that pitches in to save a stranded whale or indulges in
similar acts of random kindness.
Do your good deed for the week. Print the above mentioned article
and this review. Take it to your nearest US Bank location and give
it to the customers who are unaware that they are selling their
souls to the devil! Needless to say, if you have an account at the
bank, close it out!!
