Thread: My (non) Response from Wachovia Bank

Original Message:

I have been a customer of Wachovia for the past fifteen years. Just today I have learned that Wachovia Bank solicits and accepts the business of illegal aliens. These people are criminals. They broke our laws by entering into our country illegally. They broke our laws by working here illegally. They broke our laws by accepting services paid for by our taxpayers. These people are criminal invaders and unless you can explain your violation of our laws for aiding and abetting these criminals, I will have to close my accounts. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Sorely Disappointed,
XXXX XXXXXX

Dear XXXXXX,
Welcome to Wachovia! My name is Tanisha and I am happy to assist you. I apologize for the delay in responding to your message.I certainly understand your concern. I would like to assure you that Wachovia has very stringent procedures and policies in place to monitor accounts and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.These decisions are never made on the basis of race, religion, national origin or any other discriminatory factor.

Thank you for your response but I don't believe you addressed my
concerns. Simply put, is the Wachovia Bank doing business with the criminal invaders that have entered our country illegally?

Please reply as your answer determines whether I continue business with Wachovia Bank. Thank
you.




Dear XXXXXXXX,

Welcome to Wachovia! My name is Sharon and I am happy to assist you. I
apologize for the delay in responding to your message.

I have received your e-mail and apologize for any confusion. Wachovia
requires a credit history and a social security number (SSN) or
individual tax identification number (ITIN) to apply for a credit card,
line of credit, loan, checking, savings, or money market account.
Therefore, a person who is in this country illegally will be unable to
do business with Wachovia because they will not have a SSN or ITIN.
Again, I apologize for any confusion.

As stated in the previous e-mail, to open checking, savings and money
market accounts, Wachovia, along with many other US banks, accepts the
matricula consular (an ID card provided by the Mexican Consulate to its
citizens) as a form identification. We began accepting this form of
identification in November 2002.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for banking with Wachovia. I look forward to serving you
again.

Sincerely,

Sharon G.

Don't you just love it when those you trust to manage your money don't have a clue? Yes, criminal aliens can obtain an ITIN.

This following pretty much gives you all the information you need to feel good about canceling your account:

i think the (un)patriot act allows banks to do business with illegals... putting the burden of paying for defaulting loan recipients square on the backs of American taxpayers (FDIC)
