I have had my business account at the same branch office for over ten years. Opened the account in 1999 with Fidelity Federal with my corporation license and fictious business name, and had no problems for seven years.
Around three years ago, the bank changed it's name to National City, and had no problems. They still allowed me to use the same account number and my corporation checks I kept in my large ledger book. (about 4 or 5 pounds of paper).
AND THEN comes along this PNC bank that takes over. Around four months ago, I recieved new instructions from PNC that my old account number and checks will no longer be valid, and that I must use the enclosed deposit slips. I called them to verify my new account statis, but I also wanted to complain, and ask for a solution for the $127.00 I had spent for printing charges for checks and deposit slips I had bought two months prevously, of course they had none. When I read them my new account routing number and account number from their newly sent paperwork to re-verify my account, the routing number was missing a digit, and my new account number they could not find. This popped up a few red flags in my thinking. She stated, "we will send you new deposit slips when we settle your account". That statement told me I needed to get away from these people as soon as I could.
I moved my business account the next week to a different bank. Having to re construct my dba name and corporation filings necessary for a business account. Time and money. That week, the PNC money patrol people from my old account I'm trying to close, sends TWO debit cards to apply to account. What is this??? Two debit cards with different account numbers that don't match my old account. One card worked on my balance I needed to delete, to buy construction materials. Since my new account is receiving my deposits, the old account I wanted to delete t near zero. Then pull out the balance, and let them know what I thought of them.
But SUPRISE! While montoring my PNC balance daily to net near zero they Suspended my account. They would not give my balance... For weeks. Everyday I would call and their reply was, 'call back tomorrow" Since my balance was unavailable (forbidden) to me, I intervertanly over spent $16.08 on two checks. As time went on, they addusted their records to show a deceivable 10 checks not warranted nsf funds to add up their fine. Just to get out out of the cluches of their 500 lawyers I lost $280.00 to get away from that bank.
When I saw the number of complaints against PNC on this website, I knew my problem wasn"t an isolated inicident. I lost $280.00 from PNC who just took over 5 months ago. I thought I was secure at one location for ten years... Not!
I have over 1600 hundred customers in my database with a return of 74 % re-sale buyers. When they re-order they will be informed of this web site reguarding PNC banking and of their foul intentions of raping the public. People are people, and need to be informed of wrong doing. Knowledge is king, not revenge. After all, 'an eye for an eye'... Makes the whole world blind.
