<p class="MsoNormal">I have precisely one contact at a Chase branch who has proven heroic . . . but three years ago. If she replies to my email, she would do whatever she would be able to do, if anything. I’m so sorry for what I’m reading below; it just shouldn’t
“be like this,” but somehow it is. For whatever it’s worth, I had a PR client deposit also a CASHIER’S CHECK from Wells Fargo to fund a new estate account at US BANK, and the latter put a 5-day hold on the new account as well. Here I thought certified funds
were basically as good as wired funds, but silly me, no. They would not even call the branch – both are in our small area here, mere miles apart – and confirm funds or any of that stuff from “the old days.” Such is our world, even in the age of e-checks and
instant verification of accounts via Plaid and “all of it.” Alas . . .<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I am trying to help a retired professor from the University of Washington. He is elderly and the treatment he has received from Chase is absolutely appalling and likely race
based. He opened an account in Normandy Park, closed his credit union account, and deposited a cashier’s check into the new Chase Account. He wrote a few checks, all of which bounced and was told there was a 2 week hold on his account because of the appearance
of possible fraud. At the end of 2 weeks re re-wrote the checks and they again bounced. He was told they extended the hold for 2 more weeks. He is in the middle of a remodel and can’t pay the people he has hired. They have stopped work. He has never bounced
a check in his life and is beside himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
