Etrade Sucks

(4)

Revisiting an old note to the effect that, 'Etrade sucks,' I finally deposited a check from Etrade to my checking account today. For several years I've had a trading account with Etrade. The account paid miniscule interest but I was content to let the money just sit there until I began to notice that my principal was decreasing periodically. Seems Etrade was charging me 'an account management fee' and my principle was dissolving before our very eyes including the eyes of the manager of my account who was charging me 40 dollars every time he observed my account!

Sheeeit! Etrade was stealing my money! So I wrote a check (boom from above) for 15 dollars less than the amount in the account thinking, 'I'll leave the sons-of-bitches a tip.' The check bounced! I called Etrade's 1-800 number again and again Etrade could not recognize my password although it was recognized on the Etrade web site.

So I again called the recommended Etrade number to close my account. Again the system would not recognize my password.

So I finally went downtown to the Denver Etrade office and closed my account. Today I deposited a check from Etrade into my checking account.
