Truean's day so far: Informed at work my aunt died today, Bank--despite my spending 5 hours at various banks personally showing the managers the POA (Power of Attorney) and successor trustee documents-- will not honor said POA with me as a signatory on the checks I've wrote, as a result the they are refusing to honor said checks (after three weeks of cashing them), this means the caregivers to my elderly and infirm client are not getting cash from their paychecks, this means they are coming to my office understandably upset and blaming me (exactly as the bank is telling them to), plus I've got a million other cases calling, also I'm still setting up a nice large accounting system to deal with the personal, trust, and business assets for this client. You'd think this would be lucrative for me, but remember the bank not cashing the checks...? Yeah.... Also I can't really bill for these hours.... That's in addition to my other cases in early morning criminal docket and a civil case....
I'm not impressed with Bank ignoring legal documents and court appointments that have taken me hours and days to do, file, get approved, etc. Shall I allow Bank's corporate trust committee to approve my appointment as successor trustee or should I just take all the money out of your bank via authority direct from client and move it to your competition no matter the result of this...? Shall I give manager and manager's supervisor a free lesson in banking law, how to do their jobs, why they just lost a large account, the legal liability they've just exposed themselves to, and all in elegantly poisoned words?
I had to apologetically cancel and reschedule 4 appointments today to deal with manager's "fresh out of college, look at me I know what I'm doing," ass today. I saw him chew out the teller for being nice to me, which is her job....
This is the only bank I've ever had problems with. I am under normal circumstances the most stupidly polite person you will ever see, but really Bank? Really? Even your equally sleazy competitors don't pull this shit....
