My credit rating took a dive thanks to the bank's error and I don't know how long it will take to renew it. I've had no cooperation from these fine corporate folks in helping me with this. Just form letters.
That's quite unacceptable. Although I know the forms is a requirement now, unfortunately, as a product of stricter accounts standards (yah, ironic that, eh?) and counter-terrorism/money laundering.

The credit rating thing is something I wouldn't accept, but to get anything done in this climate, you'll have to play hardball, and even that probably won't matter. The problem with the banks being the way they are is that the individuals in the banks feel very threatened and tend to just stop caring!

I don't really understand the issue, I suppose. Canada has such a different banking system that I have never had issues like this. And the few times I did have any issues, it was relatively easy to solve... The complaints I get from the states is rather confusing to me, heh.
