Can Your Financial Institution Be Trusted?

When you work hard everyday it is a rewarding feeling knowing that you are going to be compensated for all of your hard work. When that day comes it is very exciting to be able to get paid, because you get to pay off things that needs to be paid, and maybe there just may be a little left over for you to enjoy for yourself. When arriving to your financial institution to cash your check, or to make a withdrawl, they tell you that your check cannot be cashed, but it can be deposited. You ask why? They come to you with a lame excuse and expect you to believe it. Nevertheless it is deposited so they can see if it is a good check, but you know it is a good check; they tell you that it will be ready the next day and it can be wthdrawn from the ATM, but when the next day comes, there is a problem as to where you can’t get what you have worked for.

You call the contact center to see if they can shed some light on this situation, but to no avail they give you the run around instead of answering the questions that you ask them. They do not try to help you to get this resolved. You call your employer to see if the check is good or not, they tell you that it is the bank that they use and that there should have not been a problem with the transaction. They say that they are going to do everything to get it taken care of, but do you trust what they say, are they telling the truth?

No one should have to wait for their money that they have worked for. That is like working for free. Then there are those that try to tell you how you shouldn’t feel about it. No one has the right to make a person feel that way, and no one has the right to tell a person how they should and should not feel about what has happened to them. They do not know how you feel because it did not happen to them, they do not know the emotional trauma that something like this brings. They do not know what that does to a person on the inside, and how they view people that they thought would be there to help them when something like this happens to a person; it makes them not want to work for anyone anymore, but what can you do when you do not have any other choice but to work to keep things afloat?

When things like this happens, it takes the mind back to slavery when people were forced to work and not be paid for it. It makes a person feel stripped of who they are, their dignity, their self worth, how they see theselves as a person. It makes a person feel less than, it makes a person not want to get up in the morning.

I thought that people had changed and evolved from old ways, but I was wrong. Just because of the color of a person’s skin they are treated differently. How can you feel comfortable going to a place that you have been doing business with for years to be treated like you are no one, like your money is not good enough to be cashed and given to you? Like what you worked for is just a piece of paper that has no value; like it is a piece of junk?

How would they feel if it happened to them? How would they express how they’re feeling? What would they do? It is a shame when you can’t trust your financial institution to be there to resolve things that they know they can but won’t.

No one knows how degrading this sort of thing is except who it has happened to. This sort of thing makes a person not want to never trust anyone again. It makes a person want to do things for themselves; work for themselves.

Banks are all crooks. That is how I feel about it. It does not mater how long a person has been doing business with a company, they just screw you on the end.

The best thing to do is to keep your own money in a safe place yourself, at least you will know tht it is not being bothered.
