The Battle of Vimy Ridge
Donald Fraser's Diary
Vimy Ridge
Canadians at Vimy Ridge
Prisoners and Casualties
The 32-year-old Donald Fraser enlisted in the 31st (Alberta) Battalion on November 24, 1914. His experiences, which he meticulously recorded in his diary, were typical of the thousands of Canadians who served King and Country during the Great European War. Private Fraser first went into action in September 1915 at Kemmel, near Ypres, Belgium, and over the next two years he fought in every major battle in which Canada participated -- St. Eloi, Mount Sorrel, The Somme, Vimy, and Hill 70 -- before being wounded at Passchendaele in November 1917. Fraser's account of the Vimy operation brings the common soldier's perspective to one of the more decisive battles of the war. Over a four-day period, the Canadian assault on the 60-metre high, muddy scarp gained more ground, seized more guns and captured more prisoners than any previous British offensive.
Donald Fraser's account of the Great War is representative of the common soldier's story. Fraser began his detailed diary shortly after his arrival at Kemmel and kept his entries up-to-date throughout his entire two-year stint at the front, even though it was against Army orders, because it could fall into enemy hands. A narrative of his experiences, based on his diary, was started in the summer of 1918 while he was recovering from wounds. Unfortunately, the original diary has been lost, but the narrative remains. It was later edited by Professor Reginald H. Roy of the University of Victoria, and published by Sono Nis Press in 1985. A paperback edition was published in 1998 by CEF Books.
With the permission of professor Reginald H. Roy.
Vimy Ridge was of great tactical importance to the western front, since it was the only significant height of land in northeastern France. It formed a key position linking Germany's new Hindenburg Line with the trenches that led north from Arras, France. The Canadian assault on Vimy was undertaken as part of a much larger initiative by armies of the Entente - the name given to the British and French alliance. The Canadian operation was to help secure the flank of the British Third Army which had spearheaded an attack against the German lines south of Vimy in the Scarpe Valley. The combined British-Canadian offensive was intended as a diversion for a much larger attack by the French between Soissons and Reims. Unfortunately, despite Canada's success, British and French forces were unable to make much headway. As a result, the great break through that the Entente had hoped for would take another 15 months. In a war that had given the people at home little to celebrate, news of Canada's well-planned attack and clear victory was greeted with wide enthusiasm.
First Army Administrative Report of the Vimy Ridge Operations, Part V, Maps, Plans and Diagrams
The success of the Canadian Corps at Vimy Ridge immediately prompted a number of specialized studies by various military authorities of the Entente. The intent, of course, was to try and duplicate the Vimy experience in subsequent engagements with the Germans. This part of one report shows the disposition of units along the Vimy front, the communication plan between the front and rear sections of the line, and the extensive use that the Canadian Corps made of its ammunition supplies.
The attack on Vimy Ridge called for an in-line frontal assault by all four Canadian divisions. The plan was simple in principle but complicated in practice since the advancing infantry had to be protected from German machine gun fire by a creeping barrage, which called for accurate and timely artillery fire. However, before the attack could begin, the Canadian Corps spent almost three months reinforcing their own lines and mapping German defences (in particular their trenches, gun emplacements, barbed wire entanglements, dug-outs, supply dumps, listening posts, roads and railway lines). In the weeks leading up to the attack, the largest concentration of artillery since the beginning of the war delivered some 2,500 tons of ammunition a day on German targets in an effort to paralyse their resistance. The attack called for careful coordination and open communication between infantry, artillery, aerial observers and senior command. It also required that every man understand fully his responsibilities and the objectives of his unit.
No figures are available on German losses during the months of bombardment leading up to the Canadian attack on Vimy Ridge; however, earlier assaults by the armies of the Entente resulted in about 220,000 casualties on all sides. Out of the 40,000 Canadian infantry who participated in the April advance, casualties totalled about 10,500, of which 3,500 were never to return home. The Canadian Corps captured about 4,000 German prisoners during the assault.

Wow, I feel bad for GJ. He wouldve had a great oppurtunity this year. Especially with Bash out for the season now. This has to give Miller more cred when his players ask him if they should go pro.

Multi-Database Search Tips
This library application allows you to search two or more databases simultaneously and display the combined results. Use the following tips to enter keywords, authors or subjects in the search form.
- Enter a single keyword or a phrase. You can use "parentheses" around phrases, e.g., <"klamath river">.
- Truncate words using a question mark (?) to get all variations of a root word, e.g. <wild?> finds records containing "wildlife", "wilderness", etc.).
- Use boolean operators (and, or, not) to connect keywords as appropriate, e.g, <klamath river and (dam or dams)>. In multi-database searching some databases automatically connect keywords using the and operator.
- Use synonyms to broaden search results.
- For author searching the standard database format is <last name, first name>. Due to variations between databases it is best to use name variations, or to use truncation, e.g., <johnson, m?>
- For subject searching databases are likely to use different "controlled" subjects, e.g., "maps, ancient" and "ancient maps". For best results, use <maps and ancient>.

Kasparov beats Karpov 6-2 in blitz match (UPDATE: video added)
History repeated itself in Valencia this week with Karpov and Kasparov meeting each other behind the chess board again, and the third day repeated what we had seen in the rapids: quite a sharp Garry Kasparov easily beating a slow Anatoli Karpov, who just couldn't handle the clock. The 6-2 in the blitz brought the final score on 9-3 for Kasparov. Last video now up.
Like the rapid games, the blitz match took place in the Auditorium of the Palau de las Artes, and just like on Tuesday and Wednesday, the media were banned to the upper four rows. The result of this was that although I wasn't able to get good close-ups with my camera, the high angle gave enough sight of the chess board so that I was able to reconstruct four of the eight games that were wrongly transmitted by the tournament website. (Well, only the first game was wrong, and three others were not complete.) The correct scores can be replayed below.
The blitz match started with a wonderful victory by Karpov in another Queen's Gambit Declined - the 12th World Champion replied to Kasparov's 1.d4 with this opening in all six games! Kasparov called it his worst game of the match but it was still a great performance by Karpov, converting the rook ending into a win with his flag about to fall during the last 15 moves or so (the rate of play was 5 minutes plus 2 seconds increment).
After calming down with an easy draw with Black, Kasparov went on to win a nice game with the white pieces to level the score. The fourth game turned out to be crucial for this blitz match: after another very strong performance, Karpov lost on time in a winning position. Between the games there was a ten-minute break three times, but at half time the pause was half an hour, but still not long enough for Karpov to fully recover.
In the next three games Kasparov completely dominated. Karpov was constantly down on the clock and simply played his worst chess of the whole match. A quick draw in the last game ended the torture, after which the players went to the press room - a five-minute walk from one side of the Palau to the other - for the last time.
Again, they addressed the media seperatately, and again first Karpov, then Kasparov. The former admitted that he had "lost motivation" after the terribly disappointing 4th game; the latter was quite pleased with his play.
On a question from a journo, which came down to "what's next", Kasparov said he'd simply go back to Moscow and return to his life as a political activist. "This was just an exhibition match to promote chess. I think we succeeded."
On my question what, in Kasparov's opinion, had to be the first thing to change in the chess world to bring that media attention to current top events, he repeated what he and Karpov had emphasized at the press conference on Monday: that "FIDE was responsible for everything that went wrong in the past 15 years". He added that as long as the top players would still be accepting the actions of the Kalmykian President, the situation wouldn't improve. "But I don't play a role in that anymore. I can offer them my help, some advice, but nothing more."
The Valencia match has merely confirmed what we already knew about Anatoli Karpov: he hasn't been spending much time on chess in recent years, and therefore his level of play is slowly getting worse, although he'll never loose his beautiful, classical style and occasional brilliance. Garry Kasparov, who is said to play online regularly, who is still busy writing about chess and who has started working with Magnus Carlsen, still plays at at a high level, and hasn't lost his attractive, dynamic style either. It does make you wonder how he'd do against today's elite players.

Tkachiev showed how to bring an event that would otherwise go unnoticed into the spotlight :)
4 years 6 months ago
@me: Yes, and that is probably why Tkachiev is one of the 6 nominees of the FIDE President for the World Cup (see Chessvibes 17 Sep 09). And of course Ilyumzhinov also nominated Ivan "no handshake" Cheparinov. The President clearly understands that the way to make chess popular with the general public is to create scandals not too playh beautiful moves. My non-chess-playing friends were not aware of this match or of Kasparov's Nf6+ but if Kasparov had shown up drunk and Karpov had refused to shake his hand I am sure it would have been all over the news. ;-)
Karpov is simply finished as a competitive chess player. This was an absolute massacre! THE VALENCIA MASSACRE! Hopefully we'll see Kasparov playing an exhibition match against one of the current top players (Anand, Topalov or Kramnik).
But please no more Karpov-Kasparov matches. No more massacres of this sort especially for a legend like Karpov!

As Kasparov says in the interview, it´s sad tha a match with to ex-champions has more media cover and fan interest than any other chess event this year.
Players not only need to play chess like computers, they need to do things to be noticed in the sport world!

I think Kasparov is still the best. If he came back to chess he would still beat everybody. Except maybe Carlsen... :)
4 years 7 months ago
I don't know if he would still be the best. Now he only played against Karpov, it would be another thing to play against Anand, Topalov, Carlsen... I do think he would "easily" get back to top ten of the world. It would be a lot of fun to see him play again with his dynamic style with lots of piece sacs etc... But still, a comeback of Kasparov is just a beautiful dream that will never come true

@unknown (and others may also be interested ...): One of the Europe Echecs videos (in French) mentions Dec. 11-13 as dates for the Paris match. The Louvre seems to be a suggested/desirable venue, but not yet confirmed.
Another story may be if sponsors can be found for the remaining revival matches, given that Valencia was altogether very one-sided.
4 years 7 months ago
I personally believe in Mig Greengard's take: "4.5 years away have taken a considerable toll [...] While it's possible he might "play up" against a stronger opponent, and one who wasn't his old nemesis, it's more likely it would take considerable time before he would be anywhere near his old self."
Just finished the video; hope to be able to upload it before my 18.00 flight, not sure about that. :-) Otherwise I'll do it when I'm back home; should be up around 21.30 then.
Not gonna make it, they're boarding - I'd better join. Expect the video in about four hours from now.

pfff this whole thing is BS...
Karpov is much older and out of shape so it is not a fair match (remember his last tournament in spain)...
lets see if Kasparov would be so smiley and cocky while competing with real tough opposition...
4 years 6 months ago
Kasparov is somewhat like Fischer in one sense... he plays to win... and that way he is way too dangerous for even the current top rated players.
some of the games in this match did show a streak of brilliancy from both Karpov and Kasparov.
Thnx for your coverage and the videos.
4 years 6 months ago
As usual, really professional work work by Peter Doggers and ChessVibes. Thanks.
Kasparov is Chess and Chess is Kasparov. How can Chess carry on without Garry Kasparov in the limelight? A young successor to this brilliant and charismatic master of the game may, or may not be, in the wings but he has yet to prove himself and at the moment there is practically an empty stage in the world chess theatre. Although it is an extremely tough life at the chess summit, everyone needs him to re-appear, especially children..... to help fill the cultural gap existent in the modern world where machines are replacing everthing and everybody.

At a "Star Wars" convention then, Lucas is certainly the "main event," and that's exactly what was the case Saturday as he took the stage at the Orange County Convention Center here, the site of Celebration V, for an hour-long interview by "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
The two talked about the history of the franchise, the origin of some of the many names used in the films, Lucas' distaste for the Hollywood studio system, the fact that the six live-action "Star Wars" films will be
released on Blu-ray in 2011
, and much more. Toward the end of the session, they were joined onstage by two of the main stars of the original films, Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, and Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia.
CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman spent three days at Celebration V as the last stop on Road Trip 2010.

Ky. 313 runs from Interstate 65 across the countryside near Colesburg, crossing U.S. 31W on a rapidly developing corner of Radcliff's south side before heading toward Vine Grove and coming to an abrupt end near the edge of Hardin County.
When it was proposed almost three decades ago, the idea was to eventually create an alternative connection from Interstate 64 in southern Indiana to southbound I-65.
I remember that detail vividly from covering an initial public hearing about the route in the second-floor meeting room of Radcliff City Hall.

Circuit Clerk Eli Henderson said having the office open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. is better for law enforcement and the public.
"We all agreed in order to serve the public and help our police officers serve more time on the street catching bad guys that we could do this five days a week," Henderson said.
Henderson said the office is also open from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday. Extending the hours of operation was something Henderson said he's wanted to do since he became circuit clerk. Henderson said he'd heard too many stories of police officers working night shifts and staying awake to file a warrant, only to be turned away because of the time of day.
"Our time frame didn't fit," he said.
The office was previously open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., closed for lunch, and then reopened from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Henderson said that work schedule began in October 2011.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson estimated his deputies spent between 10 and 20 hours each week waiting in the warrants office to fill out paperwork. Crime victims were also at a disadvantage, Amerson said.
"The average citizen couldn't get his business done because he couldn't get to a magistrate. They didn't have reasonable access to the court. Thanks to this, they're going to have reasonable access," the sheriff said.
Amerson said time is especially pertinent for victims of violent crimes. For instance, a domestic violence victim fearing for their safety would want to sign a warrant as soon as possible, he said.
Diane Duncan, a clerk who can issue felony and misdemeanor warrants, said she's seen how the former schedule affected victims. Duncan agreed with Amerson that warrants weren't being issued in a timely fashion.
"Their problems are serious and they're upset. They'd come in on Monday and would be told they have to come back on Wednesday," Duncan said.
That's why the sheriff is hoping electronic filing will expedite the process for clerks and deputies.
Amerson said that for eight years, deputies have obtained electronic signatures, using a computer tablet and stylus, while taking a report from a victims. Allowing deputies to enter report information into a computer at a crime scene has left less room for error, according to the sheriff.
Henderson and Amerson want to use that technology to allow deputies to email misdemeanor reports to the clerks, where they will review it and a signed affidavit could be emailed back. This would eliminate deputies sitting in the courthouse for hours to obtain a warrant.
"We email the whole case file to them and thanks to the circuit clerk and his staff we're going to save taxpayers' dollars by not sending our deputies up here to wait on misdemeanor cases," Amerson said.
Amerson said using video chat software called Facetime in both offices is also a possibility. That way a clerk and deputy can talk about the report face-to-face without a deputy physically going to the office.
Henderson said the technology integration is still a new idea, and he doesn't have a proposed start date yet, but he's excited at the prospect.

A recent editorial by Dr. W. Benson Harer, Jr., President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [1], suggests that pregnant women should be given the "right to choose" major abdominal surgery (cesarean section) or a normal, vaginal birth. Dr. Harer claims that elective cesarean section and vaginal birth are equally safe and therefore, either option should be made available to women.
The International Cesarean Awareness Network opposes the use of cesarean section where there is no medical need. Birth is a normal, physiological process. Cesarean section is major abdominal surgery which exposes the mother to all the risks of major surgery, including a higher maternal mortality rate, infection, hemorrhage, complications of anesthesia, damage to internal organs, scar tissue, increased incidence of secondary infertility, longer recovery periods, increase in clinical postpartum depression, and complications in maternal-infant bonding and breastfeeding, as well as risks to the infant of respiratory distress, prematurity and injuries from the surgery.
Many of the long-term complications of vaginal birth that Dr. Harer lists (urinary incontinence, uterine and bladder prolapse) can be prevented by improved labor and birth techniques. For example, episiotomies are associated with pelvic floor damage and long-term complications. They have also been proven to be unnecessary and harmful in most births, yet the majority of American women are still subjected to this surgical procedure during a vaginal birth.
It has been suggested that cesarean section is the safer method of birth for infants. However, scientific evidence proves that infant outcome does not improve once the cesarean rate climbs above 10 percent.
All physicians take an oath to "Do no harm". This means choosing the path of least risk to patients. Medically unnecessary elective cesareans increase risk to birthing women. It is unethical and inappropriate for obstetricians to perform unnecessary surgery on a healthy woman with a normal pregnancy.
ICAN supports women's rights to accurate, complete, evidence-based medical information; women's right to the best and safest medical care in childbirth in situations where medical care is actually needed in childbirth. ICAN will continue to work to protect women's rights to ethical and appropriate care in childbirth.
ICAN is a nonprofit organization that is working to lower the rate of unnecessary cesarean sections and provide information and support to women healing from past birth experiences and preparing for future births.

Bonaparte CO2 Storage Project
The Australian Government has provided funding through the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative for Geoscience Australia to assess the prospectivity for geological storage of carbon dioxide in the Bonaparte Basin, with particular focus on the Petrel Sub-basin.
The Petrel Sub-basin was identified by the Carbon Storage Taskforce in 2009 as a prospective region for the geological storage of CO2 due to favourable geology and proximity to an emerging LNG industry near Darwin (Figure 1). The area was also the site of two former exploration blocks offered through the 2009 Release of Offshore Areas for Greenhouse Gas Storage Assessment, under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006.
The Petrel Sub-basin is a northwest-trending Paleozoic rift within the southern Bonaparte Basin, located offshore northwestern Australia in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The geological reservoirs of interest include the Jurassic Plover Formation and the Early Cretaceous Sandpiper Sandstone. Primary and secondary seals of interest include the Late Jurassic Frigate Formation and the Cretaceous Bathurst Island Group (regional seal). Water depths are generally less than 100 metres, and depths to reservoir/seal pairs range between 300-2500 metres below the sea surface.
The Bonaparte CO2 Storage project started in July 2011. The project comprises four stages over two years. The first stage, now completed, identified the critical geoscience issues affecting the CO2 geological storage prospectivity of the area. The second stage involved the acquisition of pre-competitive data, which was completed between May and June 2012. The third and fourth stages involving integration and assessment of the data and interpretation of results are now complete. The final report for the Bonaparte CO2 Storage project is expected to be released by June 2014.
Achievements to Date
The Bonaparte CO2 Storage project has already identified the most relevant/important geoscience issues affecting the CO2 storage prospectivity of the Petrel Sub-basin. During 2012 Geoscience Australia undertook two major surveys off the coast of the Northern Territory in the Petrel Sub-basin, acquiring 2D seismic and marine data. The seismic survey covered an area of 4091km (Figure 2), and was supported by a marine survey investigating the shallow geology and seabed in two key locations of geological relevance to the underlying substructure and basin history of the region.
Petrel Sub-basin CO2 Storage Seismic Survey (GA336)
High resolution multichannel seismic data were acquired between 3 May and 24 June 2012 on the MV Duke. The seismic data have been processed focusing on enhancing stratigraphy in the shallower (<1000m below sea floor) formations.
Data acquired:
- 4091 line kilometres of seismic reflection
- 4 second record length
- 2 millisecond sample rate, 408 traces
- 5100 metres solid streamer
- 12.5 metre shotpoint and 12.5 metre group interval
- Source depth: 4 metres; streamer depth: 5 metres
- 2080 cubic inch gun array at 2000 psi
- 8000 line kilometres of multibeam swath bathymetry
Petrel Sub-basin Marine Survey (GA335)
The marine survey, conducted in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), was completed in May 2012. This survey targeted two study areas to investigate possible links between geological formations suitable for CO2 storage and the shallow geology and seafloor. Data acquired includes 5300 line kilometres of multibeam swath bathymetry, 655 line kilometres of sub-bottom profiler data, underwater video and still images from 11 sites, and seabed sediment and biological samples from 15 sites. Datasets available include:
- Ecology/Seabed underwater video footage and still images
- High Resolution Bathymetry Grids
- Seabed Geochemistry/Porewater TCO2 and TCO2 flux
- Seabed Geochemistry/Chlorins
- Seabed Geochemistry/Chlorophyll abc and pheaophytin
- High Resolution Multibeam Sonar Seabed Backscatter Grids
- Seabed Geochemistry/TOC, TN and carbon and nitrogen isotopes
- Seabed Geochemistry/Sediment Oxygen Demand
- Seabed Geochemistry/Specific surface area and total carbonate
- Ecology/Infaunal morphospecies identifications
- Seabed Sediment Grain Size Data
- Sub-bottom profiles
Initial data analysis has been undertaken and a post-survey report detailing survey location, methodologies and initial findings is available.
Petrel Sub-basin CO2 Data Package
The 2D seismic data (GA336), together with the marine survey data (GA335) can be ordered from the Data Repository [ PDF 552KB]. Select datasets from the list above can also be downloaded from our website.

Pork was born George McElhinny but it didn't take long before the lad was called "Georgie Porgie". His older sister had trouble pronouncing Porgie and dubbed him Georgie Porky. By the age of three, 'Porky' turned to Pork...and that has stuck ever since. Around this same time, Pork picked up a guitar and began to play.... turning a toddler into a budding 'guitar man'.
George 'Pork' McElhinny is not just a great singer...he is also a great songwriter and an amazing world class guitarist. When Pork takes the stage he puts his heart and soul into every song he sings. He has the magical ability to draw the audience into the show and make every song come to life. When he leaves the stage Pork takes the love and adoration of his audience with him. Most of Pork's shows are simply the man and his guitar. But when the voice and the music burst forth, the audience is astounded and amazed by the sheer magnitude of the one man experience.

Chase Visa's despicable service
Posted by ZWrite on 03/01/2007
I have had a Chase Manhattan Visa card since 1992 and have always paid my bills on time.
In the last three years, the bank's service has been atrocious. In 2004, the bank made so many mistakes that I literally lost $590. I spent TWO MONTHS complaining before I reached someone in the corporate office who rectified my financial complaint although NONE of the NUMEROUS people who screwed up and were rude were ever dealt with to my knowledge.
I got my $590 back and the phone number of the corporate office which kindly said I could phone them whenever I had a problem. In recent days, I have TRIED to phone them, but got DOZENS of busy signals.
The impetus behind my latest phone calls was Chase charging me a late fee after it made numerous goofs over several days online and COINCIDENTALLY accepted my payment at 3:10 CST, 10 minutes late because of Chase's own incompetence. This would seem to be a no-brainer but an executive in Elgin, Ill., essentially said "tough s____" and kept the $39.
Here is my letter to the person who got me back my $590 two years ago, but whom I cannot reach.
First of all, I want to thank you for resolving the problems that I wrote to you about in the spring of 2005 and that you resolved by issuing me a credit for $590.27.
I certainly hope Chase has taken action to ensure that the problems which led to Chase making one mistake after another that cost me $590.27 have been alleviated. Unfortunately, I see little evidence of that from my own personal experience.
On June 24, 2005, you sent me a letter which ended "If you have additional questions pertaining to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at our toll-free number, 888-227-0608, extension 52745." I have tried to contact you at this number at least 30 times over the past few days. It is always busy.
I reached Chase's office at the same address by phoning 813-584-4160 three times, but the people there are incredibly rude and REFUSED to transfer me to your direct line. This is an ONGOING problem with Chase. Your employees are special.
In any case, I have three concerns that I would like to address. Failure to solve them all will jeopardize my relationship with your company. I am clearly in the right on all three matters, but have been incredibly patient in dealing with Chase's failure to resolve them.
Continued failure by Chase will result in a complaint to the state attorney general's office as well as notification to the public about your HORRID BUSINESS PRACTICES (if you Google my name, you will learn that I am, among other things, a business writer for several publications).
Here are the three concerns:
I have NOT received a refund check for the past THREE YEARS. When I inquired about this two months ago, I was informed that my account was cancelled Jan. 13, 2005, and was reopened a few days later. I NEVER cancelled my account.
As I reported to you back in 2005, I was treated rudely by your representatives on the phone. One screamed at me "you're a deadbeat" and made all sorts of threats against me. A few days later, I received a letter saying Chase had cancelled my account. A few days after, I received a letter saying my account had been reopened.
This was obviously a PLOY by your representative to STEAL money out of my pocket by removing me from the benefits of Chase's programs. Like I said, I NEVER cancelled my account. There is NO PROOF that I cancelled my account.
The COMPELLING evidence is that I did NOT cancel my account since I received a letter stating I was once again a Chase customer before I could complain about not being one. The restoration letter was written BEFORE I learned I was, for two days, not a customer.
Chase owes me a LOT OF MONEY. Why should I have to suffer financially because of the insolence and incompetence of YOUR employees?
If I had known about what Chase did, I would have phoned you the day I received your June 24, 2005, letter. Instead, Chase deliberately does NOT tell me that I have been removed from the Chasebuilder program. How much money do you gain from people who never inquire?
I phoned you on Feb. 28 after I spent hours trying to pay my bill online. The system rejected my VALID password and kept on sending me new access codes. Eventually, the system approved my attempt to pay via the SAME, VALID PASSWORD it kept on rejecting.
The approval came just after 4 pm EST. Coincidence? This is clearly DELIBERATE because the same exact thing occurred in November. It turns out, apparently, that I will NOT be assessed a late fee for February.
Here is what happened in November. I don't receive bills in the mail (for reasons that have never been explained) so I logged on on Nov. 22 thinking I was going to pay my bill THREE DAYS EARLY because previously payments were due on the 25th. I learned after accessing my account that the payment was due on the 22nd. It was NOON.
Three hours later, my attempt to pay online finally worked. It was 3:10 p.m CST. Then, I noticed that the verification said the payment was being credited on the 23rd. Knowing Chase as I do, I phoned IMMEDIATELY and e-mailed Chase IMMEDIATELY.
With ethical companies, this would be a NO-BRAINER. But this is Chase. Yes, I received a late fee. So I wrote to your Executive Office in Elgin with PROOF.
Would executives actually PENALIZE me for being 10 minutes late with a payment that was "late" because of Chase's own incompetence? Would Chase penalize me for being in the wrong time zone? Would Chase penalize me because it moved up the due date without informing me?
What stupid questions. The answer is YES because Chase is the MOST UNETHICAL COMPANY THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!
In early, 2006, I tried and failed to log onto my Juno online services account on numerous occasions. I phoned Juno. The company informed me that I had to establish a new account in order to communicate with them my problems with the first account.
I established the second account. After a few days of trying to fix the problems with the first account, I CANCELLED it. That was 13 MONTHS AGO. I have NEVER accessed that account since then, have repeatedly asked Juno to stop billing me for two accounts when I am only using one, and I informed Chase Visa about this situation last April.
What has Chase done? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. In its most recent letter, Chase said it did not know about my problem. Well, it does now!!! So guess what Chase did after giving me the excuse that it never received my earlier letters. In writing, Chase told me it has and will DO NOTHING.
Does a professional company act this way? NOOOO!!!! But Chase is the MOST UNETHICAL AND UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!!!
My patience is wearing thin. I would appreciate it if Chase would act professionally and rectify ITS MISTAKES. Thank you.

Simply stop using you chase credit card. After a while that will get their attention. You must have dozen of other cards to use.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-03-02:
One should *never* give their banking information to a creditor. It is a bad idea is so many ways. Instead, you should set up Bill Pay with your bank or credit union. That way, you get to control when the payments are made, and you have proof of the payment being made on time.
Posted by Alain on 2007-09-20:
I found Chase Visa to be a lousy credit card. They had too high of a rate (despite my on time payments for over 10 years. I asked for a lower rate and the supervisor I was speaking to refused and even said "go ahead." when I said I would pay the complete balance and close my account. So I paid the balance and closed the account. Then Chase called and asked why. They offered a lower rate. It still was 3% higher than the one Bank of America gave me. I will never do business with Chase again.
Posted by Dr. Kraft on 2007-11-30:
I have had so many problems with Chase that I have asked for all 3 of my accounts to be closed. A few months ago I paid the balances via balance transfer for the two Chase cards that had balances owing, using a new card from my primary bank, US Bank. One of the transfers was posted to the account, but the other was returned to US Bank. When I called Chase to inquire, they refused to even look at my statement from US Bank clearly showing that both transfers were made until I settled the account (which because of the returned transfer was now late).
I physically went to US Bank and was told that they had received one of the transfers back from Chase uncashed. The manager not only issed a new transfer, but he wrote Chase a letter detailing the events and confirming that the payment was made in a timely manner and that Chase had given no reason for returning the check. The account was paid and I sent Chase a copy of my US Bank statement showing both original drafts sent directly from the bank on the same day and a copy of the manager's letter confirming that Chase had returned one payment without reason.
Chase has now refused to correct their mistake and claims that they do not know why they returned the check...gee, how convenient! They refuse to take responsibility for their actions and are charging me late fees and interest because of their poor accounting practices!
I would never do business with them again!
Posted by Alain on 2008-03-01:
I still wouldn't use Chase for ANY banking service ever again. But they still send offers for their credit cards and other services every month. Meantime, I still have my Bank of America Visa (they've lowered my rate again as of January 08 and offered to raise my limit when I paid off the balance-I try to clear it monthly, but occasionally have a balance). I have no reason to deal with a bad bank like Chase.
Posted by JW on 2013-07-30:
I have experienced nothing but rudeness and incompetence from Chase. They supposedly "detected" potential fraudulent activity on my account. So they shut down my online account so that I was unable to access my account to look at activity, pay my bill, even email them. When I called them, they had a whole list of "special questions" to establish my identity... even tho I spoke with several layers of supervisors and answered all their questions, they still demanded that I go to their branch bank, to prove my identity with 2 forms of picture ID. I wasted 2 hours going there and showing Javiar my drivers license and passport, while he made multiple lengthy calls to "headquarters"

Pathetic in every way
Posted by Screwed by Chase on 10/25/2007
WASHINGTON -- Chase Card is brutally pathetic. Easy statement to make and here is the proof.
In February 2006, I found out that my Visa card had been used and currently had a balance on it. I called Chase Card services on February 15th to find out what was going on. I found out that my ex-wife had gotten into my account. I asked how that was possible, because in July of 2001 I removed her from my account. Chase Rep responded that she was still on the account. The Chase Rep also stated that since I was the primary on this Visa account that an authorized user could not make changes to the account or order credit cards without my consent. I again removed my ex-wife from my account. I closed the account and opened another one.
I got to deal with Chase Fraud, Investigative and Card Services from that point forward.
Starting in June of 2006 I started receiving collection calls. One caller told me that the account was still being investigated for fraud and then asked me for payment. I asked this caller if the matter is being investigated why would they be asking for money? I would get called up to 5 times a day and on weekends.
I received an e-mail from my ex-wife in July asking me why I closed the account and reopened a new one. In her email she stated that Chase told her these details. So in review Chase gave out my personal credit information to someone not even on my account.
Chase after their investigation concluded it was a civil matter between me and my ex-wife. I told them no it is a matter of Chase violating my rights as a Visa Card holder and also a violation of consumer protection laws.
I have asked Chase in writing for copies of my account records, policies and procedures for authorization use and many other details regarding my account and they have responded that the information is privileged.
Chase has reported my as a collection now. They have reported me as living in a City I have never lived in due to the fact that they sent credit cards to my ex-wife.
Chase lied to me directly. Chase is now withholding information simply because they know they violated laws and protections. Chase card services is incompetent. The one rep I dealt with in their corporate office is unworthy of any title. In fact, I would not hire this person to operate a pooper scooper.
Here is the hardest fact to realize for me. Chase Card services knows that they screwed up and they know that they are not going to get paid. Since they are not going to get paid and they know it, why do they penalize an innocent party. It would make more sense to seek payment or assist in efforts that would lead to payment, but instead they are more focused on not receiving payment and creating emotional distress.
I would not use Chase card services for all the reasons stated above, because this company is not interested in servicing the customer. They have a different agenda.

You need to get an attorney and sue
1. Chase for all the violations, lies, and fraud they have perpetrated against you
2. Your ex-wife. She not only committed fraud, but theft and theft by fraud when she ujsed the cards, but had new ones sent to her
SUE, SUE, SUE!!! And dispute the charges and collection to the collection agency - TODAY! Do not wait. Chase will have to provide documentation the the collection agency. Ask for it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-10-25:
I agree with moneybags.
And if you want to complain about Chase Manhattan Bank, send a written letter via certified return receipt to:
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Consumer Affairs Department, 1301 McKinney Street, Suite 3450,
Houston, Texas, 77010-9050, Tel: 800-613-6743. Also, send a written complaint to your State Attorney Generals
Office, Attn: Consumer Affairs.
Good luck.

I'm usually the last person to yell for the lawyers, but in your case, I think you need to get an atorrney involved as soon as possible. moneybags is right, you seem to have two very basic cases on your hands. You would probably not even see a day in court with these two, unless your ex wife is REALLY stupid...

Chase Visa - Misleading Information - New Accounts Services
Posted by Karisby on 02/20/2006
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- BE AWARE--you cannot stop a balance transfer after the account has been opened. Chase employees tell you that you can simply make a phone call to stop the transfer, but this is not true. Upon calling the number they provide one is notified that the "transfer has already occurred" and that there is nothing that Chase can do to stop it!
Below is part of my complaint letter to Chase Bank USA, N.A. which I sent copies to the Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission:
1). Employees should not misguide new account holders by stating that balance transfers can be stopped once an account has been activated and the cardholder's request is made! This statement is NOT TRUE and the multiple requests I made to stop the balance transfer were incessantly denied. I was extremely frustrated by this process and the misinformation that was given not only once, but in the four phone calls I made to correct this problem and resolve my concern. The distribution of such false information should be of concern to Chase Bank USA, N.A. because it contributes poorly to the reputation and integrity of the company, and because it reaffirms company contradictions between the product and services promised and its actual provided practices!
2) Second, employees should not mislead account holders by stating that the opening of a second account on the same day will cancel the request to open the first account and thus stop any balance transfer requests from occurring. This suggestion was not only RIDICULOUS and HIGHLY MISLEADING, but has resulted in my having opened not only one but two credit cards on the same day! This practice is manipulative and unethical, and while it certainly benefits Chase Bank USA, N.A., it distills confidence in the reputation and integrity of the company. Such company practices need to be corrected immediately!
I would appreciate a reply informing me of how Chase Bank USA, N.A., will better attend to the care of their customers and how the company will address the discrepancies between services promised and the lack of follow through in its practices. A huge integrity issue is at hand.

I'm sure they know all of that already. Well except the intergrety part and the part about correcting it. Chase is a big money hog. That's where their relationship starts and ends with you.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-02-20:
I know several Chase employees...that's why I can honestly say that Chase does what's best for Chase. Whether it be a Credit cards, Equity or mortgages...they will tell you anything. Having someone open an account with a balance transfer give the rep another notch in their quota...they will tell you anything to get it and the sad part is, that is the way Chase trains them. I've learned so much about Chase from these employers, that I would never touch anything with the name "Chase" on it. They will mislead, violate the FDCPA and do whatever they have to to get what they want. Run away from Chase.

Insane Rate Increase
Posted by Jbwcool on 04/20/2005
I just had my APR increased from ~20% to 29.94%. I've been a cardmember for over 4 years with not one late payment to them. I asked for any sort of recourse that I have since I cannot pay this absurd rate. Of course the robot on the other end told me that since my credit report was not good, that I have no recourse. Well, I just closed my account and will pay them off within two months. I feel sorry for those who are unable to do the same. My blood is boiling! Please tell your government representatives about this and report them to the BBB.

Ever Dance with the Devil in the Pale Moon Light
Posted by Churro on 02/08/2013
ANYTOWN USA -- Do you ever wake up in the morning thinking I should post a positive Chase review on the internet? Probably not if you're a moral person on the fast track to heaven living a life of good values and concern for your fellow man. Well my friends that's not me and indeed I'm writing a glowing Chase review.
In Nov 2011 Chase said they'd pay me to get a Chase Freedom Visa card. An offer from Chase how can I lose. So I took the bait.
$150 cash back when you spend $500 in your first 3 months from account open.
$15,000 initial credit limit
0% APR on purchases and transfers for 15 months
12.99% APR after 15 months
5% cash back on up to $1,500 spent in bonus categories each quarter
1% cash back on all other purchases
No Annual Fee
Standard Signature Visa perks
Cash back received Nov 2011 Thur Jan 2013: $1023.65
Average monthly Float: $8,353.12
Finance Charges: 0
Online Banking: B+
Customer Service: A+
Ease of Cash Back Redemption: A+
Overall Satisfaction: A+
Jan 2012: Recieved $100 to open a Chase Checking Account
Mar 2012: Cordinated my Trip to Germany with Chase. They provided me documentation and worked with a rental car company which allowed me to avoid mandatory rental car insurance. A savings of about 300 bucks. The Chase Rep cordinated with Chase security so that my Chase Freedom card worked in Europe without a hiccup.
I could not be happier with my Chase experience which is surprising given that Chase is a soulless mega corporate bank hellbent on enslaving mankind to international bankers. I gotta admit though Chase taught me a little bit about myself. Indeed I will dance with the devil if price is right and eh sadly that price really isn't that much. Moving on... I have to commend the Chase CSRs. Always pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and they speak the English good.
My plan back in Nov 2011 was the same plan I always have for any come on offers from a credit card issuer. Exploit the heck out of the freebies and then dump the card after the introductory offers so that in a year or so I will be considered a bribe-worthy NEW customer again. Not this time. I'm keeping my Chase Freedom card. Yeah, I was that impressed.
If you're looking for a good solid Visa card I say give Chase a chance. You'll be glad you did.

LOL Churro. That was the most entertaining review (not written by yours truly) that I've read here in a long time. :) Chase is my only CC too and I've never had trouble with it (up to this point) either.
Posted by ok4now on 2013-02-09:
I have two Chase cards and have never had an issue with them. The bill is paid promptly and I rarely carry a balance. Having said that my sister fell behind and was late on her payments and skipped a few. The collection dept at Chase came after her like a pack of rabid pit bulls. Unending harassing calls at all hours to her home and cell phone. If the answering machine picked up they would blast loud music in repeated messages. She blocked 10 different phone numbers they were using but they still got through. The interest rate shot up to 30% and the late charges kept piling on, tripling the balance owed. Finally after six months of this unending harassment they stopped. Under federal law they had to and wrote the balance off.
Conclusion: If you owe Chase money pay them on time or they will make your life pure Hell.

Credit card customer service incompetent
Posted by Mfailing on 12/09/2010
Chase clerks refused to approve a charge I was trying to make. My card expired November 30, 2010. I called in October to confirm that Chase would send a replacement in time for me to use.
I needed to buy a product December 2 but Chase had not provided the new card. Although a clerk acknowledged that I had way more credit available than I had used, no one would approve the credit.
The clerk assured me that "5 minutes ago" someone at Chase had dropped my new card in the mail. I received it 7 days later.
A recorded message also confirmed that my new card had been activated.
I answered the trick questions for identification to talk to a clerk but received no help. And my line got "cut off" when I asked to speak to a manager. It's not like I had ever not paid a bill. It's not like I had not used the account since 2007.
And it's not like I am going to be using this again.
Customer service does not exist.

It sounds like your card expired, and it took a week to get a new one. That sounds like normal customer service to me.
I can't tell if your main complaint is that they wouldn't let you use your expired card, taking a week to get a new one, or getting through the menu system. Or maybe all. I have a Chase card, and the customer service has been excellent.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-12-09:
Chase usually sends the new cards about a month before the old one expires. When they sent the new one, did it not work? I don't think I understand what happened.
Posted by Nohandle on 2010-12-09:
I had something a bit similar I guess last year. Both my MC and VISA are with Chase, just turned out that way. I wanted to keep the MC active so made certain my annual renewal for MSN Premium was charged to my MC account which was set up for annual renewal through that card. I was down to the wire. I couldn't renew the MSN for a date beyond expiration on the card and I was waiting on a new card just to keep the MC card open.
I charge so little on credit cards that I at least attempt to keep two active and don't deal with store CC's anymore. I do recall having to activate my new card by telephone from my home number. I don't guess a customer with less than a $100.00 a year is appreciated. That was meant to be sarcastic because we all know they don't want those customers.

Chase Manhattan Bank - A Pack Of Loan Sharks And Liars.
Posted by 2ndChildhood on 07/27/2010
Chase Manhattan Bank. They say they want to be your neighborhood bank. You see the new branches popping up everywhere. The TV is saturated with Chase commercials about how they're there to 'help you'. They're you're friendly neighborhood bank. Right? If you think that, read how they treat a customer in good standing for 20 years,
I've been a Chase Manhattan Bank customer for 20 years, carrying a Chase Visa in my wallet since 1990. About 7 years ago, a few small disasters (including treatment for a pet) hit us in a row and we racked up a $12,000 tab on the Chase Visa card. At the time the interest rate was under 10% so it wasn't the end of the world. A year or so into paying off this debt, the post office delivered one of my checks late (21 days from the time I mailed it till the time it was delivered, so says Chase). My interest rate went to 29.25% and has stayed that way for years now despite never having another late payment made EVER.
Last month (June 2010) I FINALLY paid off the card IN FULL. I didn't negotiate anything I just paid it. We now owe Chase $0. Zip. Nada. I never complained once, I signed that filthy 55 page agreement (I didn't have a microscope handy to read it) and I'm a man of my word no matter how much I object to being taken by a loan shark.
Now, a month after paying the bill in full, I contacted Chase to see if they would now reduce the interest rate back down to something reasonable. Not a chance in hell. Nothing I can do, no one else to talk to, company policy, that's the way it is. Boy, great way to do business eh? A customer of 20 years pays a 12k debt off without a single complaint, calls to ask for a interest rate reduction on any future purchases. How do they treat that customer? By pissing down his back.
So, I've paid my debt. I won't contact the Better Business Bureau or make any additional complaints to anyone. I don't have the time and I don't really care as I am done with Chase. No, what I want to do here is WARN ANYONE AND EVERYONE who is considering banking with Chase. DON'T DO IT! If they don't give a damn about a customer of 20 years in good standing who DID RIGHT BY THEM, you think they are going to care about you? If your answer was yes well then you deserve Chase. If however your answer is no, I have done my job here.
That's all, thanks for reading and Chase Manhattan Bank - BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS.

Everyone is getting their interest rates increased. They don't care how long you've been with them.
Posted by FlShopper on 2010-07-27:
Chase did the same to me as soon as they acquired WAMU. I had a limit of $15k with a low interest rate. I never, not once, paid late. They upped my interest rate to 29%; they admitted they had no record of any late payments on my account, they just said this was their "new policy" with rates. I transferred my entire balance ($10k+) and they immediately dropped my limit from 15k to $250. They suck.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-07-27:
You miss a payment and they get to jack up the interest rate. That is the way the game is played. You did nothing noble by paying your bill in full, you meerly fulfilled your obligation to pay off your debt. You are going to have a tough time getting a better rate with another CC provider since they all share information.
I live by the fact if I can't pay the bill at the end of the month, then I won't buy it. It is not worth the money to finance anything with a credit card.
Posted by 2ndChildhood on 2010-07-27:
Yep I agree and I know. The wife and I went all cash a couple years ago, that Chase bill was the last one we had left. The only reason I called them was just to see how I would be treated. Sadly, it was exactly as I expected.
I have an American Express card and it's the only one we use now, since we pay it off at the end of every month. If we can't afford something in cash, we don't buy it. Everyone should do the same, best decision we ever made.

Posted by momsey on 2010-07-27:
chevy, it's a great rule to say if you can't pay the bill at the end of the month, then you won't buy it. But that rule goes right out the window when an emergency comes up, like a pet's expensive vet bill or a car breaks down and you need to pay to get it repaired. Things happen.
Posted by clutzycook on 2010-07-27:
Cluzty hubby and I recently paid off our Chase card as well. It wasn't nearly as big as the OP's (we're talking less than $5K), but we nearly maxed out the card over the last couple of years with him being out of a job and all that. Now that card is pretty much only for emergencies where we need a large amount of cash in a short period of time (such as car repairs). OP, congrats on paying off that card. Now just cut it up.
Posted by MRM on 2010-07-27:
Bravo, Clutzy, for paying off your card. Your story just motivates me to pay off my balance each payday.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-07-27:
Momsey, we still go old school by keeping emergency money in a savings account. We get a whopping .01 percent interest which is basically nothing. But, it will be a lot cheaper that paying the 21% + interest if we had to use a credit card.
Most people get into trouble initially by putting vacations, big screen tv's, excess clothing, etc., on the credit card thinking they can pay it off until something bad like a job loss happens, then the real trouble starts. I live by the motto, if you can't pay for it, don't buy it. Except for my house it hasn't hurt me yet.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-07-27:
Most people get in trouble by not obeying my simple number one rule of personal finance. Never borrow money to buy a depreciating asset. NEVER - EVER.
Posted by momsey on 2010-07-27:
Good point, chevy. An emergency stash is not old school, but it's hard to get a true emergency fund set up.
Posted by Connoisseur on 2010-08-23:
I have said this many times "STOP USING MAJOR BANKS." They are PREDATORS. Pure and simple. Find local banks and use their services and their visa cards. I do that. I know the person at the bank and if I need something I can get her direct via the phone as opposed to some foreign accent who knows nothing about my personal situation and I can barely understand.
DITCH the World Wide services!! Go local in support of your fellow Americans.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-08-23:
Your concerns about what's going on with your interest rates don't belong entirely on the banks' shoulders. A big part needs to be directed to the President and his short-sited, anti-capitalistic mindset that rewards bad customers who do not care when/if they make a payment and punishes good customers who keep up with their finances.
All banks are raising their interest rates on credit cards now. Rates from a year ago are up 11% on average. Why? The new credit card rules that restrict banks' fees. (If you haven't heard, the latest round of new credit card regulations are going into effect now, capping certain fees that banks can charge.)
Posted by ok4now on 2010-09-11:
Charging 29% interest, high fees and increased late charges is totally justifiable for a bank. How else is the CEO going to maintain his 7 figure plus salary, huge bonus, stock options and golden retirement parachute? And let's not forget about the additional perks that can't possibly be eliminated. The corporate jet, summer home in the Hamptons, the best private schools for the kids and the illegal alien housekeeper paid under the table. You are struggling to pay your mortgage & feed your kids then have the nerve to complain about these fees? The financial elite want you to struggle but not them. This is how it's paid for.

Chase Visa card nightmare of all nightmares
Posted by Tommyweld on 03/24/2010
I live in Ohio and purchased a radiator from Bob King, of Discount Radiator World, in California using my Chase Visa card just in case something happened for $3342.60. SOMETHING DID HAPPEN. I never received my radiator. I filed a dispute on the 58th day and Chase denied my dispute because they didn't get a letter from the merchant. I have talked to 5 supervisors at the dispute dept. All are illiterate, rude, like the previous stated, like robots. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! They first sent me a postcard congradulating me on my credit that should be posted to my account but never was. Then I received a denial because the representative told me they couldn, t contact the guilty party, Bob King of Discount Radiator World, and get their money I wouldn, t get mine. I received a letter that had very poor grammer. As I read the letter, it made sense, the people I was dealing with couldn, t even write a proper letter. When I called the dispute dept. and explained what happened they told me it would be fixed within 24 hours. I called after 2 days, not seeing a credit, and then they said they needed a letter explaning what happened. I then called again to confirm they got my fax and they said it now takes 7 to 10 days to process. I called after 10 days to find out yes I should see the credit, but never did. They promised they would take care of it. When I call the credit card customer service number and get prompted to the disputes, it states a credit was credited to my account on the 22nd of February but that never happened either. Now today I call them and they say it was denied because they have tried everything possible within the laws and can't seem to find a why to rule in my favor and asked if I was satisfied. Of course, I'm not satisfied! I was screwed out of $3342.50 by Bob KIng of Discount Radiator World and not backed by Chase Visa after using their card. They were so rude to me it was unbelievable! I had 4 supervisors tell me they would credit my account and then their supervisors would deny it. I was being played as a pawn between these individuals. It was a game of power between employees at work at my expense! DON'T EVER DEAL WITH CHASE! They will find a loophole not to pay out on anything! I was told by a supervisor, I promise you will get your money!, You called within your 60 days. I feel so sorry for you! They said obviously we didn't have enough information at hand and now I see what happened, we will take care of it. It is all B. S. The one employee told me the supervisors play a power trip with them and the customers get caught up in their game. STAY AWAY!

Worst Credit Card Experience Possible
Posted by JamisonS on 08/23/2009
Although I have never been so much as a day late with a payment( on anything with any company ), always paid at least double the minimum, and never exceeded my credit limit. Chase Bank has treated me like a lowlife criminal. First they nearly doubled my rate, which they explained was to "make my account profitable". Then, a few months later, they closed my account. Now, they have cut off my on line account access, forcing me to mail them checks. I've had no problems with my other credit cards, just Chase. I will never do any business of any kind with this company, or anyone affiliated with them again.

You should still be able to pay online through your bank/credit union's bill pay. If you mail checks, you risk them being "delayed in the mail," or some such crap, and then you get hit with a late fee.
As for the rest of it -- your account agreement probably says they can do all that.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-08-23:
I think Maggie has good advice. I never use any sites to bay my bills except my credit union's bill pay.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2009-08-23:
Bank bill pay systems must also use the US mail to make some of those payments. It depends on how the recipient of a payment has been set up. Some cannot accept electronic transfers.
DirecTV, Sprint, Gieco are examples of those who likely can accept electronic payment. Your local utility company, payments to your local insurance agent would most likely require the payment be sent by mail. Yes, the bank bill pay system will do that.
Jamison, dumping Chase was an excellent move.
Posted by NickL11354 on 2009-08-23:
I never heard of that. The OP must have had a returned check if they suspended her use of making an electronic payment.
And again, no one is forced to use or carry a balance on any credit card. After the events of the past year and the recession maybe it is better to spend what you have now and not charge the $5,000 flat screen TV or that meal that you don't have cash for.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2009-08-23:
Nick, there was nothing in the post to give the slightest reason for blaming the OP for his situation. Why do you feel it necessary to add your own facts to make this unwarranted accusation against the OP?
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-08-23:
Nick, they closed the op's account. That's why she is unable to pay on the Chase site. In case you've missed it in the news, that is happening to a lot of people lately.
Posted by Eloise on 2009-08-23:
Chuck, most utility companies offer online payment. I live in a tiny town and I can even pay my water bill online.
I think the OP can't pay online because the account is not active. Without a current account number the OP can't make a payment. What's the big deal? Mail it in.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-08-23:
The account is active because they still owe a balance. They just can't charge anything or use the Chase site to pay the bill. They can still pay with a credit union/bank bill pay with the same account number. Otherwise, a check wouldn't be posted either.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2009-08-23:
Eloise, I was not referring to a company's on line payment system. I was referring to the BANK's bill payment system.
Personally I will not use any company's on line payment system. Once they have your bank account information you open yourself up for unauthorized account debits.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-08-23:
chuck, I'm with you on never using a company's on-line payment system. Risky business.
Posted by Nohandle on 2009-08-23:
Color me stupid but I still mail checks, perhaps 4-6 per month max. An example, the family owned lawn service I use I doubt uses online bill pay although I haven't asked them. Anyone who is comfortable with online payments then fine, go for it. If you're comfortable with giving a company your banking information then fine, go for it as well.
The problem I see here with JamisonS is he was accustomed to the Chase online payment features, they have closed his account with them and here he is scrambling to make a payment with no option at present but to mail a payment. What will the credit card companies do next? Your guess is as good as mine.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-08-23:
Nohandle, I'm out of the country but am able to make all my payments to companies and individuals through my on-line bill pay with my credit union. Individuals get a check that they mail for me. I think most banks/credit unions do this. I would hate it if I had to mail a check from Singapore :) But, it does saves me postage too.

Bad Business Practice
Posted by Douglasgibsonjr on 07/31/2009
The company canceled my credit card after I had it for a year. I never missed a payment. I was never late. I never went over my credit limit and yet, my card gets canceled.

Zero Balance at this time
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-08-01:
Chase is doing the same thing as AMEX, throwing away their good customers without cause. Voted helpful.
Posted by Nohandle on 2009-08-01:
Douglas, I don't think anyone on this website has found any rhyme or reason for the cancellations nor someone suddenly receiving a hefty increase in interest rates when he has been a good customer in the past. If someone breaks the code by all means share.
Posted by Fufu487 on 2009-08-02:
I have worked for a company that deals with Chase for their logo card, and this bank will put your account dormant if there is a zero balance and no transactions for 6 months to a year. Most of the time, the account can be easily reactivated by a simple phone call. If the account has not been used for more than a year plus, then yes your account may be closed. Keep in mind banks do this to protect you aswell, as it can be assumed your not using the account.
Posted by douglasgibsonjr on 2009-08-03:
I have been using my credit card on and off. In fact my balance just went to zero this month.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2009-08-03:
The banks have no logic when it comes to reasons they give for cancellation. We can only surmise they are lying because their reasons are so in conflict.
1. Your balance is too high. (only using 10%)
2. Your balance is zero. (We aren't making money off of you.)
3. Your credit score dropped. (Another bank lowered my limit.)
4. Your credit report is bad. (Nothing changed in a year.)
And the real reason: They are floundering and have no idea what they are doing.
Posted by Fufu487 on 2009-08-04:
If the balance just went to zero last month then its not due to it going dormant. I'd argue about it, but sometimes that goes nowhere. Just change your business to another company :) one that values your business
tnchuck100: maybe its time to switch banks aswell......

None of the infected workers died. The Atlanta-based agency said the infection rate of 1.6 per 10,000 workers was far lower than the rate of general occupational illnesses in scientific research and development facilities.
"If you look at the report as a whole, it's a success story," said report co-author Robbin S. Weyant, who oversees CDC regulation of about 70 "select agents and toxins" deemed a severe threat to human, animal or plant health.
"We have about 10,000 people a year working in these laboratories. To have such a small number of confirmed infections over nearly a decade, I think, is quite good," Weyant told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
The report was published in the January issue of Applied Biosafety. It did not identify the workers or their laboratories by name.
Congress authorized the biolab reporting requirements after five people were killed and 17 sickened by anthrax mailings in 2001 that the FBI attributed to a civilian researcher at an Army lab at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md. Labs must regularly inventory certain pathogens and immediately report any theft, loss or release of those agents.
The CDC report said there were no thefts among the 727 reports it analyzed.
Of 88 reports of lost pathogens, the CDC reconciled 87 to bookkeeping errors. The other incident involved a lost shipment of the fungus responsible for Valley fever in 2007. An FBI-led investigation concluded the package was damaged by a commercial courier, discarded as refuse and incinerated, the CDC said. Valley fever causes chest pain, headache and ankle and feet swelling in humans. It's rarely fatal.
The infections among lab workers resulted from some of the 639 reported releases of pathogens. The infections were from bacteria that cause brucellosis, a livestock disease that can cause flu-like symptoms in humans; tularemia, an infection common in wild rodents that can cause fever, headache and muscle pain in humans; and Valley fever fungus. There were no confirmed cases of infections transmitted to another person.
None of the 11 infections was linked to a recognizable event such as a cut or tear in protective clothing. Rather, they presumably resulted from aerosol releases of pathogens, the CDC said. The agency noted it's usually difficult to trace lab-worker infections to a single, identifiable event.
Gigi Gronvall, senior associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity in Baltimore, said diagnostic lab workers often don't know what pathogen they're working with until they've analyzed it. That alone can put them at risk.
"Aerosols are generated by stirring, or opening up a plate," she said. "In the course of doing your scientific work, some of it comes into the air."
Seven of the 11 infections occurred in relatively low security labs, such as hospital diagnostic labs, with fewer safeguards than high-security research labs.
"We're hoping that this data will lead us toward some additional safety recommendations in that environment that will reduce the potential for exposure" in those labs, Weyant said.
The target of the FBI's anthrax investigation, Bruce Ivins, killed himself with an overdose of Tylenol and valium in 2008 as investigators closed in. His attorney has maintained Ivins' innocence though Justice Department prosecutors have said they had more than enough evidence to convict him at trial.

TULSA, Okla. - As temperatures begin to turn colder in the region, the importance for shelter for Tulsa area homeless and special needs population rises. Over the weekend, the Oral Roberts baseball team stepped up to help meet the need.
On Saturday, the Golden Eagles took time out of their fall practice schedule to serve the John 3:16 Mission, building 29 sets of bunk beds for an addition to the Tulsa shelter.
"It was nice being able to help out those in need in Tulsa," junior outfielder Austen Colt said following the time of service. "It put things in perspective, helping who might be in a tough place in their lives. It helps us realize how blessed we all are."
First year head coach Ryan Folmar mentioned it was a great opportunity to serve Tulsa in a "way to give back to our community."
"It was a priveledge to help the John 3:16 Mission help others," said Folmar. "With such a small investment of our time and effort, we were able to help a great cause."
Folmar went on to say that the team was "very excited to be a small part of the effort to better our Tulsa community."
