Consumer Narrative
On XXXX XXXX I am received funds of a business transaction for materials. I immediately deposited the check into my business account it was Friday. The company contacted me via messenger to check if the funds were available. Sidebar this check was sent viaXX/XX/XXXX. The funds wasnt available on a Monday I immediately contacted the bank as to inquire about the check and why was it taking so long to clear. The representative said a letter will be mailed out about the Check. I immediately asked what was the problem. I came to understand something was wrong. I was concerned, this was my business account my livelihood. I received a letter stating the check was being held for clearance. I immediately the company that distributed the check. They didnt answer me from that day til this one. The bank froze my account, charged me for monthly charges. I wasnt able to mange or produce business thru my account. The only way I found this out was I signed onto the account and it says XXXX dollars. I immediately call the bank to gain a greater understanding. I was treated like a criminal, what the bank wanted to take out on the company that sent that check to me they totally took out on me. My civil rights were violated. I again I reach out to the bank, I was sent to the fraud department, I explained to them I havent been contacted by the bank and my account isnt accessible to me. I learned not only was the check frozen but so was my account. The representative got in touch with the back office. A XXXX XXXX XXXX was very very rude and she beat around the bush very bad. I asked about my accessibility and can I deposit money into my business account. I was told yes and then no. At the end of the call I was told to go to the bank to retrieve my cash. I went and was totally embarrassed. I sat in that bank not being helped until closing. XXXX XXXX looked away from me the whole time never attempted to call anyone just had me sit she took my license and the paperwork that I have to her but told me that she couldnt help me. Thus was the second time I went and the same thing happened except this time I was asked to leave because there was nothing that could be done and they were leaving for the evening. I have lost a lot of money and business behind this very rude interaction. Im in debt today because of this and my two business are in jeopardy. When I walked in the bank I was looked at as a joke.XX/XX/XXXX+++ shouldnt be treated like this because I identify myself as myself. I was so humiliated! As am entrepreneur Im at a lost of words as an minority. I never thought I would experience something so mean here in New Jersey. This bank dont take likely to my kind and Im truly offended. I also had the liberty of speaking to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I still dont know why she called me its meaningless. Please help!
