When I saw the article for the first time, SEVERAL people had already left comments ridiculing the article and the writer in the comments section. Writing such outlandish drivel about a person who is gleefully driving his home mortgage and credit card divisions into default so his other Chase Bank divisions can profit handsomely as a result, is the act of a company desperate for positive publicity.

No mention in the article that Chase Bank is denying 2 million of their most reliable, never been late with a payment customers the right to opt out of an odious change in terms that will result in peoples monthly minimum payment going from 2% to 5%.

No mention in the article about Chase Bank lowering home equity lines to far below fair market value.

No mention of the OVER A DOZEN LAWSUITS that Chase Bank currently faces from their own customers.

I have decided to preserve my voice for my father's funeral services. When I protest, I yell my slogan, CHASE BANK, KEEP YOUR WORD! I can yell pretty loudly. I actually can lose my talking voice but still be able to yell. However, if I lose my talking voice before my father's service that would be a bad thing. I don't want to be in the position of not being able to talk, but being able to yell at my father's funeral service.

-------------------------------------------------

Our family was blindsided by the pre funeral arrangements that had been made and pre-paid for several years earlier. My father thought he was paying for everything, until it actually came time to call and make the arrangements for his funeral. We had to scramble to find an alternative casket, mortuary, and then church because the original contract and salesman had completely mislead us.

I won't go into the details but I can now offer you all some very important advice about pre-paying for your funeral plot, tomb, or mortuary services. When someone passes and a "conventional" funeral has been planned, there are several distinct steps that have to be taken. Body pick-up and transport to the mortuary, embalming, make-up and dressing, casket selection, viewing time, church time and the necessary personnel, religious speaker fee, death certificates, stationary, flowers, dvd photo montage, police escort, transport to burial, entombment or burial, plaque or headstone, engraving, vase, long term care and maintenance. I've probably forgotten a couple as well.

Funeral and mortuary facilities can deceive people by SOMEby having their sales person assure the family that everything has been paid for. Years later, when it is time to use the pre-purchased plan, all of the things that were verbally promised are no where to be found on the contract.

This type of cemetery and mortuary scam could easily be stopped if all funeral and mortuary contracts listed ALL OF THE NECESSARY STEPS that will have to be paid for are actually pre-printed on the contract. Then the salesman has to initial the printed items that are actually being purchased.

If any of you have parents or you yourself have already purchased your burial spot and seem to think you have paid for everything, the odds are that you have probably only paid for a small portion of everything you will need. Review your contract NOW. If the sales person hand writes onto your contract what you are buying, what they are really doing is not revealing what you still have to buy. This is fraud and deception and can set you up for a false sense of security and a huge financial obligation when you can least afford it.

Chase Bank Protest-Day 10, My Dad Passes and it was painful for me.

CLICK ON DAD TO ENLARGE.
My Father passed away yesterday. Even though I was with him most of the time over the past 2 months, I made a huge mistake and I will never forget it, and it hurts. I wanted to give him a ton of kisses to make up for the unnecessary guilt that others in our family had chosen to heap on him. However, I was afraid that by doing that, I would be telling him to die, that this was it. So I waited so as not to hasten his death.

He had to be changed that last night and he was so weak that he just sank into the air mattress. It took me half an hour to change him and I was so exhausted by then that I fell asleep sometime around 3 in the morning? When I woke up he was gone. I wanted him to know one final time how grateful I was for him and for being his son and to counter the stress, anxiety and guilt that he felt based on the narcissistic judgement by others of his life, and I failed.

My father thanked me several times over the past couple of months and said he wouldn't still be alive if not for my efforts. For me it was not an effort,I was grateful to be there when he needed a sip of water or had a special food craving, but I just wanted to him know one last time in no uncertain terms how much he meant to me.

A big part of my grief involved trying to file my nightly story for this blog even as he lay just three feet from me and was only hours away from dying. Filing my nightly stories is important to me because we have to fight back against paper violence. Paper violence is when some schmuck in a corporate board room makes a callous, uncalled for numerical decision that instantly causes grief and hardship to thousands of people, such as what Chase is doing with their Change in Terms on already existing agreements. These Change in terms involve raising monthly minimum fees 250%. Yet there was my father, and I blew it his final night and I am sitting here in tears as I write this.

As at peace that I am that I did everything for my father that I could, I feel I blew it the final night of his life, big time, and I blame Chase bank for that. I would protest 8 hours a day against Chase, every day, if I could earn a wage doing it. In the meantime, I will probably post less often over the next week as I prepare for my fathers funeral. Thanks Dad, thanks for my life and for you being in it.

Stephen Cutler, is Cutler the Smoking Gun behind Chase Bank's Recent Hostile Credit Card Actions Against their most Trustworthy Customers?

There is some very interesting information at Change in Terms.com about Stephen Cutler.

Did you know that back in 2001 Stephen Cutler was an SEC enforcer and fined Chase Bank 1 million dollars for not being able to document where 46 billion dollars of money was! Eight years later and Mr. Cutler is now chief legal counsel for CHASE! Cutler's one million dollar fine against Chase's 46 billion dollars of missing money is the equivalent to fining somebody 1,000 dollars for not being able to account for 46 million dollars in missing funds!

Mr. Cutler used to work for the SEC, now Cutler is chief counsel for Chase Bank. Does anybody know anymore about this Stephen Cutler? Wasn't the SEC the organization that ignored the Bernie Madoff warnings for several years. Is Mr. Cutler the "cleaner", or the "terminator", doing all the dirty work for everybody else?

I found this comment on skeptical Texas CPA, Who is Stephen Cutler? "In his speech, SC states, "the subjects of our enforcement actions in the past two years include ... J.P. Morgan/Chase". I kid you not. Then SC joins JPM about 25 months later. One can question how vigorous the SEC's actions are against its staff's prospective employers. Wait, didn't we see something in the press in the past two years that might bear on which enforcement actions the SEC takes on? Didn't Gary Aguirre (GA) allege the SEC fired him on 1 September 2005, about five months after SC left, because GA wanted to depose MS's CEO, John Mack, in connection with an insider trading investigation of hedge fund Pequot Capital? Didn't Charles Grassley conduct Congressional hearings about this? Was SC ignorant of GA's allegations while he SC was at the SEC? "On 5 October 2006, the SEC recommended no action be taken against Mack",v Note SC joins JPM 68 days later. Neat. Did JPM reward SC for his work for MS at the SEC? SC couldn't join MS, so Wall Street found a nice sinecure for SC at JPM. Is that what happened? Ladies and gentlemen of the blogosphere, you have heard the evidence, now render your verdict."

It would seem to me that anybody who is friends with Stephen Cutler needs to be investigated.
