American Express Bluebird rant...

Not to steal you thread but had a similar thing happen with Chase. Opened a CD that matured. They send me a letter that they are going to send my money to the state. I go to close the account. Asshole charges me $258 and says it's because I closed the account early. I say how can I be closing it early when you sent me a letter sending my money to the state. And there is no recourse. Called corporate and they say sorry has to be handle local. Flat out stole $258 bucks.
