Prosperity Bank
Prosperity Bank (TX)
(1 stars)I was originally TX State Bank, and I liked it. It had good rates and people knew who you were. I once had a 1/4 million in this bank, but after Prosperity bought them it was all down hill. They allowed a former girlfriend, a felon, unbeknown to me at the time, to deposit a fake 1/4 million deposit in my account without my permission. It was her aim to get my 1/4 mil. I had to hire al lawyer to get me out of that.
After their most recent bank acquisition, I kept getting service charges for having less then the minimum $250 in savings even though I rarely used the account because I only used it for the very few paper checks I rarely write, and no longer keep my money in that bank because their interest rates are so poor. I just keep enough to keep the account active so I can use the paper checks when needed.
But they keep withdrawing funds from my account to pay for an account from someone with a similar or same account number from their most recent bank acquisition, making my account in the red and racking up fees. When this first happened, I asked for a different account number, which they declined to do, promising it was a one time mistake. It happened again, next week I will go in and close my account.
I propose that they pay me the $35 bad check fee and $3 service fee every time they made this mistake. Why not, they charge their customers for incompetence, why should the bank not pay for their own?
