Chase Bank Insists they are harming their own customers for their own good.

Chase Bank, in my opinion, appears to have the smuggest, most elite banking board of any bank. CNN's latest article shows nothing has "changed" with Chase Bank.

I hope my book, The Cat Who Ate Chase Bank, will make a differnce when it is completed sometime in late November. I believe Chase Bank's outrageous behavior can be changed.

Dylan Ratigan: Americans Have Been Taken Hostage

Dylan Ratigan: Americans Have Been Taken Hostage Posted using ShareThis

---------------My commentary below-----------

I think it is important to note that the Ratigan column appears on Huffington Post. Huffington Post has already called Barack Obama the "Bank Centric Kid".

Huffington Post is also the internet "news source" that blasted Hillary Clinton on a daily basis during the 2008 democratic primaries and PRAISED Barack Obama on a daily basis. Without Huffington Post's interference, Hillary Clinton most likely would have been the democratic nominee in 2008.

Yet Huffington Post has an article that basically blasts Barack Obama and his administration.

It is a shame that we can find three powerful women such as Arianna Huffington, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin, and know that if we put them in a room, they would have virtually nothing in common and unable to build any kind of a consensus of any kind.

Yet if we put three powerful men in a room, the odds are that at least two of them would form some kind of alliance or allegiance on some level. (think back to George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton and their tour around the world to raise money for Hurricane and Typhoon victims a few years ago. George Bush Sr. was OFFENDED and most likely DISGUSTED that he lost to Bill Clinton after only one term in office.)

Make it a game if you will, find three men in politics that completely annoy each other the way Palin, Clinton and Huffington do. I don't think it can be done.

Put Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Bill Richardson in a room, nope, some kind of alliance would happen between two of those fellows.

What about Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy (assuming he still were alive) and Jimmy Carter, Bill and Ted might work something out, maybe even Ted and Jimmy. Jimmy and Bill, definitely not.

What about Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, and....Bill Mahrer in a room, would the three scorn each other the way Huffington, Palin, and Hillary Clinton most likely would?, Nope, Bill and Bill would get along. Heck, didn't Rush even have Bill on his show once?

It is just kind of galling to me how women seem to neutralize each other and in the process let under qualified men such as Barack Obama slip through to positions not earned.

Holy Cow, what an Indictment of Barack Obama and his Wall Street Banker Buddies by Jerry White of the WSWG, World Wide Socialist Group.

I found it ironic that the do nothing Republicans accuse Barack Obama of being a Socialist even as World Wide Socialist Network writer Jerry White has assembled the most damning one paragraph summation of Barack Obama's "handling" of the economy that I have read to date.

"On the economic front, the democratic president (Barack Obama) has acted as a ruthless instrument of the financial elite, handing over trillions of dollars to the Wall Street Banks and blocking the slightest restrictions on their speculative activities and massive pay packages. As a result, the share prices and profits of the banks have increased, while tens of millions of workers suffer an unrelenting assault on their jobs and living standards and the loss of their homes and life savings without the slightest relief."

- Jerry White

Click anywhere on the quote to see the actual article. As stated by the New York Times, Jamie Dimon is Barack Obama's favorite Wall Street Banker. Not only do we have an in the pocket of Wall Street Banker's president, we have Republican Vultures circling overhead trying to use Tea Party Protests to, get back in the pocket of the Wall Street Banker.

Chase Bank being hit with dozens of internet articles about their horrible banking practices and methods.

Internet articles used to describe the Credit Card Industry and Chase Bank's tactics include

 "Rape of the Consumer", "Credit Card Issuers don't care, and they are Proving it", "Chase Bank Lies Again", "Keeping Chase Bank from Blowing me up", "Did Chase Bank pull a Credit Card Bait and Switch?", "Latest Move by Chase Contradicts testimony", "Chase Bank, on my List", "Chase Credit Cards, Consumer Complaints", "Federal Reserve's Failure to help Credit Card Consumers", Credit Card Companies showing their True Colors and Americans should be Seeing Red, "The Credit Card Squeeze", "Screw Chase Bank", "A Penalty for Thrift?" "Credit Card Hypocrites", "The Greatest Swindle ever Sold", "Carpenters Picket at Chase Bank Branch", "Building a New Generation of Bank Haters", 

and many many more.

Yet the Republicans want us to only blame government! Is that so they can take their turn being the bankers best friend? I believe Barack Obama's admiration of Chase Bank's Jamie Dimon is absolutely scandalous, but I also believe the republicans attempt to steer our anger ONLY towards Barack Obama and the government while IGNORING THE BANKS, is OUTRAGEOUS.

Hi Alessandro,

I'm working on a story about some of the problems I’m hearing about from credit card holders. As you know, many are saying their credit card accounts are being closed by the banks, including CHASE, without much notice. And of course there are the complaints about lowered credit limits and increased interest rates. I’m trying to find some people in the Washington, DC metro area, not experts, but people who’re having these bad experiences with their credit card companies. Would you know of anyone on this coast? Or would you be able to forward my e-mail to the other like-minded bloggers?

Thanks for your help!

Here is Chase Bank Change you Can Believe in, NOT.

Barack Obama promised change, and Barack Obama's favorite wall street banker, Jamie Dimon of Chase Bank, is delivering "Change", and an awful lot it. Just read what this blogger has to say about Chase Bank's "Changing Ways".

How Barack Obama can admire Jamie Dimon of Chase Bank as his favorite Wall Street Banker is just beyond my comprehension; unless I consider the possibility the two are in cahoots with each other and chest deep in all kinds of illegal favors for each other.

Barack Obama has 3 and 1/4 more years to get his own lies in order so we can all adore the job he did on us.

Unfortunately, I don't really want a republican for president either as republican politicians never met a banker they did not like. Sarah Palin is so clueless she hasn't picked up on the Chase Bank anger, or simply won't go near it. You've got be either bright, or brave, to be president, preferably both, and I ain't seeing either quality in Ms Palin at this point.

We are so screwed. I really think HIllary Clinton would have been the perfect choice, either in 2008, or in 2012. Hillary Clinton would have been the perfect blend of pro america, protecting the customers of Chase Bank from Chase Bank malfeasance, something Barack Obama is INCAPABLE of doing. Hillary Clinton would have also balanced world issues as well.

The credit card reform act is turning out to be a JOKE simply because of all the things the credit card companies are getting away with BEFORE the reform act kicks in, AND THERE IS NO OPT OUT CONSUMER RIGHT in the bill, how stupid is that!

How Chase Bank FOOLED Andrew Cuomo of New York over the 10 dollar fee withdrawal without Cuomo even realizing it.

This New York Times article dated March 30, 2009 makes it sound like Chase Bank retreated in their 10 dollar a month fee program aimed at those who had low interest rate balance transfers.

However, Chase Bank is having the last laugh after all, and in my opinion, at Andrew Cuomo's expense.

Not only has Chase bank raised the monthly minimum payment from 2% to 5% on the same customers that they rescinded the 10 dollar a month fee on, but even if these customers call the Pro-Active phone number and negotiate a five year, 2% interest rate plan, that customer may still lose MORE THAN TEN DOLLARS EVERY MONTH once they accept that plan.

The average household has approximately 9,000 to 10,000 dollars in credit card debt. However, when we factor in that a certain percentage of homeowners have NO credit card debt, that just means that anybody with credit card debt probably has at least 15,000 thousand dollars of debt, or more.

Lets say that 7,500 dollars of that credit card debt is with Chase bank 4.99% and 7,500 dollars of debt is with another Bank at 9.99 percent interest. Lets keep in mind that the other bank rate at 9.99 is still considered a decent rate, and is probably higher than that for many people.

The consumer would save the most money by applying the largest payment they could afford to the higher interest rate card, and then just pay the minimum on the Chase Bank card. Interestingly enough, MOST Chase Bank credit card customers were already paying more than the 2% minimum, however they knew they could fall back on the 2% monthly minimum if necessary.

So every month, the Chase bank card is saving the consumer approximately 30 dollars a month in lower interest rate charges. If however, a consumer accepts the five year plan to pay down their debt, the Chase payment STAYS THE SAME each and every month, and the result is, less and less money is available to pay down the higher interest rate card.

This Proactive deal is definitely more flexible than accepting the 2% to 5% monthly minimum payment hike, but it is possible that by making the same paydown payment amount on the Chase Card debt every month, the payment that is going to the higher interest rate card will inevitably lag behind. Over time, the charge in accruing interest on the higher interest rate card will be MORE than the ten dollar a month fee that Chase Bank repealed!

The conclusion is, Chase Bank has fooled everybody into thinking the ProActive deal is automatically a fair deal, yet the ProActive Deal creates more income for Chase than the 10 dollar monthly fee would have generated among those same customers when one factors in the higher interest rate credit card debt those same customers will be delayed in paying down. Wow!

The bottom line is this, ANY OFFER THAT CHASE BANK MAKES TO TRY AND GET PEOPLE OFF THEIR CURRENT DEAL SHOULD BE MADE AS AN INCENTIVE OFFER, NOT AS AN EITHER OR PROPOSITION. This is a level of consumer abuse I have never witnessed before, and Barack Obama just stands by and approves.

Here are examples of "incentives" that Chase Bank should be using to get people off their low interest rate offer.

Agree to pay 5% instead of 2% every month and receive a 100 dollar gift card EVERY SIX MONTHS for doing it!

Agree to the Pro-Active 5 year, 2% interest deal, and receive a 100 dollar gift card ONCE A YEAR.

Agree to pay 3% every month instead of 2%. receive a 50 dollar gift card every six months.

Agree to a pay 4% every month instead of 2%, receive a 75 dollar gift card every six month.

Do you see what is happening, by making crazy, insane demands of its own customers, Chase Bank is getting away with forcing their own customers to do something FOR FREE, that Chase Bank should instead be offering an incentive to get.

If Chase bank wants to entice me to change terms, I will listen, but I do not want to be FORCED into making a change, and then accepting the best of several rotten choices. In the meantime, Mr. Cuomo, I hope you don't think you accomplished anything significant by rescinding the 10 dollar a month Chase Bank fee, in many instances, that 10 dollar fee would actually have been cheaper than the alternatives.

Jamie Dimon and Chase Bank under investigation for possibly planting moles inside of WAMU.

I heard abouit this story from someone who worked for WAMU, I heard this story BEFORE it was reported on by Yahoo. I think I mentioned it once, not as fact, but as something that I had heard, I forget where it was I wrote about it.

I had heard that people from "Texas" started showing up at WAMU branches and just a few months later, the branch had been bought out for literally two pennies on the dollar.

Wow, here it is, similar accusations come to life. Click here to read the story.

Warren Buffet's Posturing helps explain why we the people are being left behind by the decision makers.

If Warren Buffet is this selfish, we have to fight even harder for Chase Bank to reverse course on their 2% to 5% raise in the monthly minimum payment. It's people like Warren Buffet who only care about their immediate business family that are hurting the entire economy.

Check out this powerful article about Warren Buffet.

Read what Warren Buffet wrote to his investors in a recent letter, and then get mad and don't give up.

“Conversely, highly-rated companies, such as Berkshire, are experiencing borrowing costs that … are at record levels. Moreover, funds are abundant for the government-guaranteed borrower but often scarce for others, no matter how creditworthy they may be.”

Did Jamie Dimon Manipulate Chase Bank to ensure profit on EXPIRING CHASE BANK STOCK OPTIONS?

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.

I am in no way educated or an expert on how Wall Street works, but it is common knowledge that on July 16th, 2009 Chase Bank "reported" 2.7 billion dollars in "profit" for the second quarter of 2009. Five days later, Jamie Dimon exercised his option on 660,000 expiring shares.

Did Jamie Dimon purposely make sure he could show overall profit for his company in the second quarter, just prior to his expiring shares, even if it meant tanking his credit card and home mortgage divisions to do it?

The second quarter profit report by Chase bank was based on buying solid but struggling businesses at vastly undervalued prices, then reporting the worth of the purchased businesses at a much higher amount than they were purchases for.

Why are these normally solid businesses struggling so much?

Consumer Credit card interest rates had been raised, no incentives have been offered to help reduce the one trillion dollars in consumer credit card, debt home equity lines have been cut to well below fair market value, collateral backed loans are not allowed, a million of Chase Bank's best, always on time paying customers are being hit with a 2% to 5% increase on their monthly minimum payment as well! WOW, a quintuple play against the american consumer, leading to less available money to spend buying products or services.

Beating up on credit card customers and home mortgage equity loans LOOKS GOOD TO WALL STREET, AND CAN RESULT IN SHARES RISING IN VALUE, especially if it is in conjunction with buying up businesses, businesses hurt by an economy that has had the capital suctioned out of it by banks like Chase Bank. Buying solid businesses at such a low purchase price, Chase Bank can immediately state the undervalued business purchase price, as a profit!

As the consumer is hogtied by Chase Bank, solid businesses struggle, and become susceptible to takeover, by Chase Bank!

The result of the 2nd quarter faux Chase bank profit report was Mr. Dimon made a couple of million dollars by first buying his expiring stock options at just under 30 dollars, then reselling them at the current Chase Bank stock price of 36 dollars.

If Chase Bank had not had that 2.7 billion dollars of fake profit reported in the news media on July 16, it is conceivable that the price of Chase Bank stock would have dropped to below 29 dollars, and would have resulted in Jamie Dimon not making a penny.

Without the news media misreporting how "well" Chase Bank "did" in the second quarter, might not Mr. Dimon have either taken a bath on those expiring shares, or simply lost the chance to sell them at all? I'm not a stock expert, so I don't know if Mr. Dimon could have just walked away unscathed if Chase Bank stock prices had dropped below his expiring option price.

However, by reporting the faux 2.7 billion in profits, Mr. Dimon did make a profit of a couple million dollars and still retained an additional portion of shares worth another million or two dollars.

Remember, what is good for Wall Street IS usually NOT good for middle america.

Did Dimon bully over a million of his own Chase Bank customers by raising the monthly minimum payment from 2% to 5% as way to impress investors and keep Chase Bank share prices artificially higher? Did Dimon reduce home equity lines to well below market value to once again gain short term stock prices? Are house saving collateral backed home loans not being allowed to somehow gain favor with Wall Street?

Obnoxious and even unlawful behavior can sometimes serve any company well in the short term. Slow but steady course of action that can preserve a companies long term value. If Dimon manipulated his own company to create short term Chase Bank profits for his expiring stock option shares, then maybe he should not be running the entire company due to conflict of interest. Maybe Jamie Dimon is manipulating his own company so he can personally benefit, even at the expense of his customers.

Did Jamie Dimon cast aside slow steady growth for his banking empire so he could slash and burn the american economy to ensure that short term stock share prices would remain higher so Dimon could make a profit from an stock option opportunity that was about to expire?

If yes, that what exactly has "changed" since Barack Obama took office?
