No Help To Survivors
My mother just passed away, and we went to close her account. Georgia own was no help at all. The girl who waited on us was down right rude. It was her last day and she acted like it. We were told over the phone to bring death certificate, proof that I am executor and I.D. When we arrived, we were told that they would have to check their archives. They wouldn’t tell us how long that would take. Since we knew that it was her last day, we called back the next day and talked to the manager to find out who we would deal with next. What a disgusting attitude she had. Quote “ We know what we are doing. It’s not the first death we’ve dealt with !,” hopefully we can find another branch to deal with to get our mothers money. The Marietta branch should be shut down.
