This is quite a useful write-up and I love the way it's written. Thank you.
If you are in the United States you also have an option to file a complaint with their government regulator. Consumer Financial protections bureau has a complaint form prominently featured on their website, as does the FTC for non-financial parts. Believe FDIC does for banks as well. Worth a shot and establishes a paper trail quickly!
- eli 9y agoFDIC only regulates some banks, OCC others, FRB takes complaints on Federal Reserve member banks, NCUA does credit unions. It's byzantine. CFPB is probably a good place to start in general.

- eropple 9y agoThis is one of the undersold advantages of living in states that care about the decent behavior of corporations operating in their states. It's very expensive to screw people over in them, and so you are more resistant--not immune, of course--to many types of nasty behavior on their part.
