Saturday, July 9, 2011 - 1:36 AMHorrible So Horrible...Raping The Citizens Of Oregon Completely Deceptive In Their Practices! Stay Away Please Stay Away!
Bank of the West 
(
1 stars)
“Deceived from the beginning” They were a business oriented bank in 2008 and have branched out with bankers that are destroying the small businesses they started out building relationships with. They changed the terms of the original loan. They lied and are now tripling the payments within three years vs 10 years. They are in trouble and lie steal and cheat the community. The staff are heartless blaming the regional manager. This is a deceptive and illegal operation, stay away from anyone associated with this so called bank. Horrible horrible and horrible they are no longer a small business bank they lie and ruthlessly are putting small businesses out of business with their fees and greed. Charging fees two times when asked to place a stop payment the first time and then laughing all the way to their bank as they just ripped you off for another $35. they could get away with again blaming their regional managers policies. I just thought when I paid once (35.) to stop payment that they would stop it but they let it go through the next day and laughed as they said oh you got charged another $35. I think that is illegal. I will find out they are horrible and merciless. FDIC the government should have laws against this. Doesn't no mean no!!! Doesn't stop payment mean stop payment!!!

1. Sunday, July 10, 2011 - 11:35 PMThese are pretty serious charges. I don't normally defend banks, but your complaints are somewhat vague. When you say they changed the original terms of the loan and are now tripling your payments, do you mean to say that the loan covenant does not include terms allowing an increase in your loan payment of that size. I have trouble believing this charge. It sounds like you may have defaulted or violated the terms of this loan, and there is some language there allowing the bank to increase your payments. If it is not what I just said then you need to talk to an attorney, because there is no way they could get away with this.
