The more people who see this site, the more I can learn about the hardships that Chase Bank has put their customers through. The biggest transgression by far committed by Chase bank is not allowing customers the right to opt out when the credit card company changes terms.
When we add in that Citibank and other Credit Card Companies are all about to renege on existing promises and life of the loan low interest rate agreements, we are talking about the victimization of well over a million people, perhaps as many as 5 million people who are having their world turned upside down by a bunch of elite, Wall Street Snobs who think we can't assemble and fight them.

Make a sign that says DAILY-PROTEST.com and put it somewhere safe where people will see it. Your signs will generate awareness for this site and can help Daily-Protest.com succeed in finding people that are being harmed by Chase Bank's increase in their monthly minimum payment demands.
I have a few rules for sign placement for safety purposes that you MUST follow if you want to help. This is to ensure that that nobody gets hurt and that neither you or I don't get sued.
An ideal place to put a DAILY-PROTEST.com sign is in the back window of a PARKED CAR. You CANNOT start, drive, back up, or move the car in anyway with the sign in the back window as it will obstruct your view and endanger others and yourself. You also can't leave someone in the car if whenever the sign is posted for a few reasons I won't get into at this time.
If you work at a mall or some place where people will walk by your car during the day or even see it at night because of night lighting, you can help this blog generate hits, and spread awareness, without having to walk a picket line.
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE. CAN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN SIGN AND PLACE IT WHERE IT CAN BE SAFELY SEEN?
Just place a Daily-Protest.com sign where people walk by. Make sure the sign can't fall on top of people, or onto the ground where someone can trip over it. Make sure your sign won't blow away and into traffic. Make sure your sign is made of lightweight material and does not have sharp edges. Even if you put the Daily-PROTEST.com message on an 8 and 1/2 inch by 11 inch paper and leave it on a bulletin board where you work, or a counter top area, every hit that Daily-Protest.com gets, will help.
As the media continues to talk about Pirates and Obama's Dog and Tea Party Protests are being reported in a rather derogatory way, Let us not forget that the story of the everyday person who is being screwed over by Chase Bank is not being headlined by the mainstream media. Even as you read this article Chase is advertising their arrival in California by spending millions upon millions of dollars on commercials.
Besides the Credit Card Scandal already in motion, Chase's purchase of WAMU for literally a penny or two on the dollar must also be investigated.
Anybody recall the infamous California saying of the 80's, Welcome to California, (Chase), now go home.

Hi! How Ironic that I saw you today protesting at Ventura and Topanga and I almost drove back around just to talk to you, but remembered your website!!
I am promoting your website on my facebook page and telling everyone I know! Here is my letter to the world!
BOYCOTT CHASE BANK!
I had a credit card with Washington Mutual for over a year and a half. When WaMu went south, I took my money out of the bank and opened up an account with Wells Fargo. I kept the credit card, which was taken over by CHASE. Well, I had not missed a payment in over a year and a half. The payment date was changed and because I pay bills online, I happened to miss the payment date by five days. When I looked at the bill I decided to call CHASE. I explained that as a loyal customer to WaMu, I was not currently working could they waive the late fee of $39.99 off of my bill.
Long and short. I talked to four different customer service reps. Each one was a supervisor of the last one I spoke to. I explained my situation and that I had never been late, could they waive the fee. Each time I was told that the Terms of their Agreement are clearly stated and they do not under any circumstance waive fees. At this point I am steaming mad. I then look down at my statement and see that my APR went from 14% to ARE YOU READY FOR THIS - 29.99%!!!!! Are you f-in kidding me?
I then remembered that the nice gentleman at the bank just last week said I was approved for any credit card transfer for a 0% fee for six months!! So, I proceeded to let them know that "when I hang up this phone, I am driving down to my bank and giving my bank my business, because what you are doing is a FLEECING of AMERICA! This is a LATE TRAP! Told them I work in the media and I was going to take part with the rest of American's to boycott and tell the world that CHASE is a FRAUD! I'm making every effort to make my payment on time and the ONE time I am late because of confusion on my payment date - THEY RIP ME OFF!
Went to my bank where the nice representative Lana helped me to transfer my balance to a card at my bank. It took me all of 20 minutes to hang up my phone, get in my car and drive to my branch...smiling the whole way.
Then as I come out of the gym, I see a guy holding a sign at the Corner of Topanga/Ventura that says something like this "CHASE doesn’t keep promises" with a website...

Your new friend Nicole!
Wow. I'm speechless, for a change.
Thanks for sharing! I try and protest one hour a day.
If you make it back to this site and wish to comment on the DAY-22, CHASE BANK PROTEST., it will add a nice ending as I wasn't sure being at that location was good or not.
LOL, I may try it again today or sometime soon.
We just have to keep connecting the dots.
By the way, I started getting some facebook hits but I could not tell who they were from, thanks!
And just to explain to everybody else, it could have taken you 5 to 10 minutes to circle back and say hi depending on which direction you were going.
Hi Alessandro,
I wanted to tell you that after 10 calls to CHASE, to try and lower my APR, threatening to close the account using my OPT OUT which they never offered me when they changed banks...so I wrote a letter to everyone in office I could think of, and also the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. I got a letter from the Executive Offices of CHASE saying that they were honoring lowering my APR back down to 15% from 29.99%~ I read somewhere on one of the sites you referred me to send a letter there if you couldn't resolve the issue directly with the bank!!
:) I was grinning ear to ear when I read it today!

Today, June 22, 2009 I received a letter from Chase bank credit card division. It stated that they were going to change the terms of our agreement and raise my rise my monthly payments from our agreed upon amount of 2% of the balance to 5% of the balance. Mind you I have always paid my credit cards on time and have a credit card rating of 809. I have worked very hard at keeping a good credit rating. I called the bank number on the back of my credit card and was told that there was nothing I could do about it and that they could change the terms of their agreement. My response was that if they could unilaterally change the terms of an agreement and I can’t then that’s not an agreement but financial slavery. It was unacceptable and I was not going to pay this on ethical grounds nor could I even afford to pay it because I am recently unemployed. He nicely responded that if I was going to go into default he would connect me with that department although that would definitely hurt my credit rating.
I presently don’t know what I am going to do about this but I will not give in to this coercion from Chase Bank. I hate to have my credit destroyed. I was hoping to buy a house in a couple of years. If they can change the terms of their agreements I believe every American should not cooperate with Chase Bank at all and if they choose to hurt us with financial destruction of our credit we should retaliate.
Can you tell me when the next protest is. I will be thair
I made a video about the National Default Day on January 3, 2010. Here is the address. It is long because it is a Wordpress Blog.

I think the banks want to cause a revolt in order to get more government money. What do you think? Are you willing to join the National Default Day Credit Card Protest?
