Chase Customer Support is Useless and Incompetent

So I just want to pay on my car.

I’m on hold yet again as I type this actually, I’m at 2 1/2 hours on the phone with these people. At this point in time I’ve spoke to 17 different people.

I’ve heard numerous excuses as to why I can’t make my payment.

It’s due the 21st of this month.

I almost always pay it early via their online banking system, but now for some unknown reason I cannot do it.

It says I owe $0.00 but it’s due on the 21st of March. Now I have a paper bill here that says my payment amount and due date of course.

Yes I’ve asked to speak to supervisors about this but suspiciously three times when I asked I was hung up on.

They told me that I wasn’t actually hung up on, it’s because I was using a cell phone and it was my phone that cut me off. I told them i don’t think so because I was bounced back to the main menu when I asked to speak to a supervisor, so to me that is the same as being hung up on. They of course didn’t know what to say at that point since I proved them wrong.

I was then told that the reason I couldn’t make my payment was because I was using FireFox and I was told to use Internet Explorer… SURPRISE the same thing happens with IE… ( I thought that was rather funny they would even suggest that, it’s 2010 and I think we should be able to use our browser of choice and not be told to use IE)

I was then told that I couldn’t make my payment because it’s too early?!?!?  What the frak does that mean? I’m not allowed to pay early now?!!? Is this a ploy to make sure they get their late fees from me? Do they need that $$ that bad that they won’t let me pay early just so they get the fee?

Again, I’m on the phone with them right now… they told me to log out and they’ll trouble shoot my account, I log back in and my account is gone, log back out, log back in and my account is there again but I still cannot pay my bill.

I even emailed the account executive for Chase but never hard back of course…

I emailed them as well through the online banking system and they told me to call the same number that I’ve been calling.

Apparently no one writes notes on the accounts as to any problems either, I’ve had to explain my problem 17 times now to 17 different people.

So I was told now that someone should be calling me back soon, what are the chances of that actually happening?!

Freelancing and writing

So I’m trying to keep busy, trying to make money basically, I mean that’s all we are all trying to do really right? We all need money to pay our bills, buy the things we need to surive and support our families.

So I’m thinking of trying freelance writing.. even if it’s not getting paid, I’m thinking that the more I get my name out there the better off I’ll be right?

I’m doing a bit of writing over ar Tiltsite.com it’s not paid of course, but I like my phone and I’m interested in it, it’s not a major commitment or anything just something part time.

I’m also writing for Testfreaks.com as well, I’m writing their buyting guides, they’re not really buying guides per se, but more of tips and information about helping to decide on the products you might be buying.

I’ve completed two of them so far, the first one is a Memory Card Buying Guide, it came out to be close to 1500 words and I could’ve kept on writing actually, I hadn’t realized that there was so much to say about little old memory cards…

You can find it here: http://www.testfreaks.com/memory-cards/

at the top of the page is the title Memory Card Buying Guide and below that is the ‘read more’ button to continue reading the entire article..

it’s fun actually and they’re happy with it, they’ve asked me to do more for them as well… so I’m more than happy to help out as it’s fun and it’s get me more exposure as well..

I just finished up the Keyboard Buying Guide also, but it’s not live yet, should be in a few days..

I really like reviewing products though, I’m wondering how much freelance work there is in that, I’ve got quite a bit of experience at it after all, so I know what I’m doing…
