SHORT STORY
Went to TD canada trust

Asked for a sum of money (some what large I guess)

They ask me what it was for

I would not tell

They denied me

Went back with father

was given the money i asked for.

They said that that was a rather sum of money for me to be taking out at such a small branch.

$3500.....GIVE ME A BREAK

I am closing my account tomorrow
Any suggestions for good banks?

As a kid, my parents had to co-sign any withdrawls I made over a certain limit. Could this possibly be the case?

Most banks would ask for parental concent before such a large transaction from a younger customer. Probably would not make a difference from which bank you deal. If you are switching banks though I would suggest if you have that kind of money in the bank to go with your local credit union service fees are generally less and you will get dividends sometimes during the year.

I say forget them!!!!

I don't care how old you are, if the account is in your name and nobody else's, they should give you YOUR money. No exceptions!

Canada Trust was fine untill TD took over!

I am still looking for any excuse to leave and find another bank!

DID YOU ASK TO TALK TO THE MANAGER???

Hi Richard: Try PC banking(Loblaws or Independant Grocers) or ING(at some Canadian Tire stores). They both are no fees which is money in a young fellow like yourself's pocket.

I think all you guys are being way to hard on our banks. They all only made 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS each last year. How can they afford to operate like this??

Also, my heart goes out to our dear Oil companies, who are struggling to meet ends meet. The price at the pumps should be inflated a litle higher.

Any of you believe this, I've got some real estate, ta sell ya, California Ocean Front Property, $1.00 a square foot.

Hey Richard, If you are 16 years of age or older, they should have let you take your money out immediately with proper ID. I would still (even after closing your account) write a letter to TD Canada trust and ask for an apology and an explanation on first why they did this and second, how they are going to resolve issues like this in the future. It is so frustrating dealing with Banks, Bell (Sympatico , Express view,cellular) and other businesses that monopolize the markets.

RRRRRRRRRRRR

I can feel your frustration

Hi Richard
Glad you left that bank. You are 19 & God willing have 60+ years ahead of you. That bank screwed itself out of 60 yrs of future profits from your account. Not too bright, especially with your major earning years still ahead of you.
