Pledge To Go By Bike

Chase’s Online Payment Scam

July 22nd, 2008

I made a payment online to our credit card through Chase Online but it turned out it wasn’t enough so I went back to edit the payment. Well I can’t edit, cancel or add another payment for another three days. So I call their customer service line and they confirmed the same thing. I can’t make another payment for another three days! I asked the customer service agent if there were any other options for payment and the only other way was for me to make the payment from another checking account or to call back when I get the finance charge.

What a scam, prevent people from making their payments and get them with a finance charge. I love this world.
