Ed had to show me the newest modification to the truck. A spittoon was added as a tunnel ram. Way cool Ed! I don't think he wanted to be identified. This photo will be identified as
"an unidentified man in front of a nondescript truck, at undisclosed location."

What do you think I am doing here?

I have to tell you a story about a company that I think is unreasonable.

BAD *** Washington Mutual Bank *** BAD

The reason I will never do business with them again is this. I opened the account by asking for only an account with a debit card for purchases. This is to be separate from my household account. They tell me to open a checking with savings hooked together. I do and a few weeks later I discover I have no money in my checking. I also see a $27.00 fee for overdrawn account while I have money in my savings and yet I can not transfer or anything because someone did not hook them together.

So I go in and talk to someone about this and explain that I need this hooked together and then ask why I have two checks on hold for a week. First the ATM's are not run by them. They are outsourcing to another company. Out of their control. Second I will need to get a new ATM card to get hooked together. So I wait another week to get my money again. I had money put into the checking and I have the new card and away I go. Well I am thinking that they will take money out of the hooked account as I asked.

Saturday I went to an ATM to get cash before going to Cave Creek Guitars, and it said I had a negative balance. What? That cannot be. So I go to Washington Mutual and say "what the heck is going on with my account?" Oh you didn't get overdraft. What? I just told them I wanted the two hooked together. Oh yes you can access them but they really are not hooked together. What?

You see, every time I went to McDonalds and paid 75 cents to use an ATM card and punch in my secret number, Washington Mutual was really taking from one account. When I ran out of cash in it, they did not take form my other account as I had asked for.

So the bad bank...
WASHINGTON MUTUAL

hit me for a $27.00 fee each time. Oh yes that was multiple times each day. What?

I said if I had no money in the one account why did it not say denied? I was told they were not really ATM transactions as I thought even though I was punching in my number. So I argued and said "WHY would you not DENY?!" Well because I had money in the other account. WHAT!!!????!!!!

The reality was that I had enough to eat at McDonalds for a year and yet they felt they could swindle me each time I used my card even though I asked them to hook the thing together. After all I never wanted dual accounts. Some person signed me up because they are pushing the things. So the manager said she could reverse one or two of them. WHAT????

How could I accept one or two? This is a crime to start with. I said no way. She got mad and said "I am offering you $50. to stay and you want to turn that down?" DAMN RIGHT! So she walked a way.
I don't do business with crooks! It is just a policy of mine now. So I will have to turn them in to every government office I can to get my money and probably never will. But I want you to know so you don't get hurt either. Tell everyone you know to stay away from these bad guys at WASHINGTON MUTUAL. Oh I guess the whole thing was my misunderstanding and I have to take responsibility for my own actions. Where's Morgan. Morgan get me a lawyer! Get the cameras rolling!

So the picture is of me at Compass Bank opening my NEW account with China at the Indian School branch. She was awesome! Now they have my money and not the other guys.
