Thanks Chedder!

Yeah, I plan to ask my friend tomorrow, as she banks wit them. I'm sure it's true, because I believe where I saw the one today use to be a bank, just can't remember which one. As I'm sure you know nyc has a bank on every corner, so it can be a bit dizzying.

Yeah, that is the truth.

I was walking down the street today and a passerby asked me if I knew where the closest Chase branch was.  I told him it was a couple of blocks down the street and pointed him in the right direction.  The friend I was with reminded me it was the other direction.  I realized she was right, and at first I thought I made a mistake and had pointed the guy in the wrong direction until I remembered there was actually a Chase branch a couple of blocks in both directions.

He was going to run into one eventually no matter which direction he went.

cap one bought north fork quite awhile ago and it was soon after that they lightened up on ccs and clis and started reporting limits to cras.  I think they have become a better bank to do business with.  They are HUGE..........now.

Unfortunately, Capital One had bought NorthFork Bank out a couple of years ago.  My DH has a leased dumptruck through NorthFork and last month I was looking through the paperwork to find out the contact numbers and lo and behold I see Capital One in really small letters plastered all over the bottom of the lease agreement.  That stinks!  Now I know why I can't seem to get anywhere with customer service.  For the last six month they never returned my calls or answered my faxes when inquiring on the payoff on the loan docs. 

I am now in the process of finding a new leasing company that does not have Capital One involved.
