what would everyone here do if you got a polite letter asking who to contact about parking there?
Wouldn't bother me any.

I'd call you back and let you know who I talked to.....wouldn't be any biggie to me.

Gee Novacane if the guy/gal gets bent I wouldn't want to park my rig next to theirs.

Novacane: Most truckers won't mind you approaching their truck to leave a note. They'll be glad if it's not a complaint about their parking.

I hope you find a nearby parking spot. Now.... it's late on the 17th. What's the verdict from the bank?

I would make sure the note is very clear that you are looking for a place to park your truck.

If you left a note that said "call me I want to talk to you about parking" it might send the wrong message and that Driver could be on the defensive when returning the call.

Just my thoughts as I HATE notes about parking.

this is ALSO good advice, but I must ask... why do you get notes about your parking? :lol:

Just got back home. After the huge amount of nothing that went on at the bank, we decided to go and see Mom and Dad. We used to go out there every weekend, but since I have started trucking, I haven't been able to get out there, well I guess since Christmas, wow, didn't realize that. I will have to try and get out there more often.

My meeting with the bank went as I thought it would. First I talked with the local branch manager, and all she could tell me was that she got an email saying that the case was finally under review. I said what! You mean to tell me that they are just now getting to it, after I was told I would have a answer today?!!! I said screw this, give me the number to the investigator, and after a huge hassle, I finally got it(more on my own, very little help, just a point in the right direction).

I called and finally got to talk person to person with whomever it is that's doing the actual investigation. She didn't have half the information I gave the bank. She told me that she was trying to get a picture from the ATM, I said I already have it, and she more or less called me a liar. Then she says it's funny how they knew the pin number, and I again explained that I had proof that they tried different numbers cause I got the print outs from the atm's showing it was denied on 5 separate occasions(none in a row though, which would have saved me).

She said she would call the person I had been dealing with at the local branch next, but low and behold, she was gone for the day by that time, convenient huh? I told her that my electric bill was due on Monday, and if my lights got turned off, I would be upset and have no other choice but to get legal with it all. She also said that she didn't even get the case until the 15th! Finally, she said she would personally handle it(should she not have done this from day one?) and get me a definite answer by Monday. And I think that was as truthful as them getting my money back by today.

Now, I need some personal advice, when I mention talking with my attorney, I am really bluffing, I was hoping to get my money back with no hassle, but them finding out the pin number has really screwed me, even with the proof I have. How far and how much can I bluff with a "fake" attorney? I have to leave out in the morning to pick up a load in KY, to take up to marshfield, so I don' t have the time to actually get one, and I certainly don't' have the money. Should I keep bluffing, or put it off until I can finally get a lawyer(which will be a long time no matter what the cost is) I thought the attorney I am buying my house from would help, but she doesn't' seem interested.

I don't know what to do, the bank is giving off a definite vibe that I won't get my money back, there were too many mistakes on my part, we left the stuff in a car, and it was unlocked, and they figured out the pin from the other information they took. I had high hopes until today when they made it clear they didn't care a bit. If I do hire a lawyer, I will wind up spending any money I may get back on fee's, I just don't know how all this works, and now I am getting desperate. Any more advice you guys can come up with would be appreciated, sorry for the sob story again everyone, maybe my trip up north will perk my posts back up again.

Well, lets head north toward Wisconsin!

You need to find a lawyer that will take the case pro bono, every law firm does so many cases pro bono but you need to find a lawyer that banking or fraud is their speciality. Come on, you go to have some ambulance chasers.

I really don't know where these lawyers are, I called just about everyone in my local phone directory, and nobody would help without a fee. This is the first time I have ever had to even consider getting a lawyer for something.

as long as you told them with in a certain amount of days you will get your money bac, one thing you cannot do is however, threaten to get legal and then not actually sue them,
if they wont put the money bac into yur account or r delaying you can always file complaints with ftc other various agencys to speed the process up. on the other hand it is odd they figured out your pin after 5 seperate occasions.
