Business Sales Companies - Unethical Sales Techniques I would like to bring your attention to the fact that certain companies are targeting small business owners who are 'selling up' in this recession.

When the business owner gives up... read full review »

I called to inquire about a charge that was on my account. Apparently from what the CSR told me, anytime you have an overdraft on your account and you have overdraft protection Wells Fargo will charge you $10.00; even when they Transfer money on your ways2save account. That’s all fine and dandy; the $10 was not the issue. It was the attitude the CSR agent gave me when I inquired. She said and I quote "This is NOT Wachovia, this is Wells Fargo". So after I unleashed the "Dragon" on her I made it abundantly clear that I... read full review »

The HSBC personal banking customer service in the UAE is dreadful. And that's being kind. When things go OK (e.g. internet banking) it's fine. But when something goes wrong it is hopeless. Trouble is, no one senior in HSBC is listening and meantime the customer service team cover up for each other passing the buck from one to the other. On 4th November, I transfered US$ 3, 000 from HSBC UAE to HSBC in Indonesia. Someone in HSBC sent the transfer to Malaysia by mistake. It's now 17th November and my funds have not been refunded... read full review »
