I had $25000.00 in ING Savings account. When I changed my banking from Chase Bank to Wells Fargo Bank, ING DIRECT froze my account and asked me to verify if I am the person. Well this happened after the fact I deposited money from Wells Fargo to ING and transfered money from ING to Wells Fargo. Now I wanted to close ING Account. When ING DIRECT came to know I was going to close the account they froze it and refusing me my money. HAHAHA Strange World eh! I provided all the proof that I am the person who owns the account, I have the same name, same social security number, on line account access, id and password, I have deposited and linked the bank accounts, now what kind of proof they need from me. Same phone number, same address, now can someone out there be so smart to steal someones account with so much verifications. ING still thinks I am a different person and they have closed, stopped my access, and had taken my money.
I just informed the FBI and BBB. If I don't get my whole life's income back what do you think I should do?

You may not be able to access your money for a long time after you deposit in your Ing Direct Bank account.

On 11-10-08, I requested Ing Direct Bank to electronically transfer a decent amount of money from my checking account at Wachovia Bank to my Savings account at Ing Direct Bank.

According to Ing Direct Managers, I will not be able to access my money until 11-20-2208.

In this day a age, you would assume that electronic transfers would not take more than one day and you would be able to access your money immediately.

If I knew about this huge delay in accessing my own money, I would have never made this transfer!
