When we checked out, she told us everything was clean and looked great, no problems. We asked if we needed to sign anything, and she said no. Several weeks later I got a copy of our contract in the mail, with all these notes about bogus cleaning and repairs that were needed. I fought it for months. Even went to the BBB. Everyone pretty much said, "The landlord said it needed to be done. Tough luck." We should have received $1000 back, but we never saw a penny. I still cringe whenever I drive past that complex.Amanda https://www.blogger.com/profile/04209398393216642296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-28721108529394832712013-08-06T10:38:24.405-06:002013-08-06T10:38:24.405-06:00I too have had horrible experiences with Chase.

They don't go in time order of when you buy your purchases over the weekend, they debit the amount from the highest paid, so instead of bouncing your account once, it will happen several times causing hundreds of dollars in fees. That's why I stopped banking with them in 2005. They also opened a credit card even though I stated at the opening of my account, that a credit card is to NEVER be opened in my account. Apparently I bounced my account once (I worked midnights as a nurse and wasn't in the habit of keeping track of my finances at that time in life) and it opened a credit card that I didn't pay for about a year. Since you're a teacher, I would recommend that you find a Credit Union.<br /><br />I love how you are taking total responsibility for this, BUT Chase is a bit responsible in this, even if they deny it-that's all they're good at. They should have caught this error because looking at the comment on your ONE post, it happens to a LOT of good people ALL the time. I know how much this hurts, and I know you feel bad because it's your family's money. <br />Hopefully, they are as good as your husband (which I'm sure they are, because they raised him), and they will have the same understanding. It IS money, and you didn't do it on purpose. <br /><br />What's really shocking is that the website you mentioned doesn't take your claim seriously. It's so hard to know who you can trust. It makes me not want to travel at all.Karriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186655510311203493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-38743867719702249072013-08-05T00:43:13.085-06:002013-08-05T00:43:13.085-06:00Because banks only care about making money.

It is so sad this happens. OH! So when I first started college I was looking for a job and found this job on craigslist where all I had to do was forward some business man's packages to him or something. Doesn't sound scammy at all right? Ha! Anyways, I ended up getting my first paycheck without even doing anything addressed to me but it was from a totally random person. It seemed bizarre so I called up the lady on the return portion of the check and she had her identity stolen and was freaking out for months over it. 18 year old me was traumatized!Kelsey Eatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206332626418265724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-38529753455372833592013-08-04T11:56:19.880-06:002013-08-04T11:56:19.880-06:00I hope you go to the police.

The month came when it was time to put in our notice of departure, and we practically skipped all the way to the leasing office! When we got there, the new property manager told us that we had actually signed an 18 month lease, not a 12, and we were responsible for another 6 months! I was furious. The complex didnt even offer 18 months leases! So we asked him what our options were and he said he would be okay with us moving out, and that he would find someone to sublease. <br /><br />We were cool with that, so we moved into a lovely new apartment and lived happily ever after. Then four months later, my husband got a harassing debt collector phone call telling us that we were being sued for six months of unpaid rent. We were shocked. We called the former manager and he denied ever making an agreement with us. He claimed we still had the keys to the apartment (not true) and that we owed them every penny. Since we had nothin in writing (big mistake) we had no claim. <br /><br />After the most stressful arguing of my life, we settled with the debt collectors for half the amount we owed, which was still several thousand dollars. And thankfully I was able to get the incident expunged from my credit score. But it was easily one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, and incredibly difficult for a money-strapped, newlywed couple of students!<br /><br />So sorry to hear about what happened to you, but you are NOT alone!Hannah Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557784647364683964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-43112315936992210462013-08-02T21:49:27.314-06:002013-08-02T21:49:27.314-06:00That seriously blows.
