I had a 30k check written to me, but the company name was wrong. It took me 1 year to even get the check so I knew the odds of getting them to correct it were between slim and none. So, I called up Chase (where I had an existing account) and explained my situation.
Even though the check also had my personal name on it, because the business name was wrong, they would not allow me to have it deposited and wait for it to clear. They said I had to open a new account.
Fuck me sideways, that was a pain in the ass.
I'm in Thailand and have been an excellent customer of Chase for a long time. Never an overdraft or any issues at all. I know the branch manager personally. They already had all of my information and knew exactly why I needed a new account.
After I got a new DBA for the new business name (doing everything via postal from Thailand - 2 weeks), it then took
THREE MORE WEEKS to get the account opened and I had to send them so much BS paperwork, several times, because they kept saying their never received the fax. I even sent it from online fax services, still they said it never came. Then they said I was missing a form. So we did that song and dance again. Then they said I never sent anything at all and I had to start all over.
It was the biggest cluster fuck I've ever dealt with.
Finally, I got the account open, the check was put in and it cleared. Just in time for them to send me a notice to tell me I was missing documents and they could not open the account until I sent them in. WTF!?!?! I transferred the money out with a quickness and closed the new account.
