79. Surprise surprise... the "resolution manager" from the "Client Advocacy Team" never called us.

Oct 2012

The transfer wasn't complete until today and they should have called us NLT Wednesday.

More proof that Schwab is a shitty company-- they even live up to the tiniest of promises. THEY contacted us promising the "resolution manager" would be calling . It's not something we asked for.

Can't express how happy I am to be done with Mr. Schwab's foul company.
