Beware of the Big BanksA Poem by Elton CampCredit unions and community banks are on the rise.Beware of the Big Banks By Elton Camp From big banks you must expect things like these: Loan refusals, interest jumps and increasing fees Apparently, it has become too much to expect That banks for their customers show respect “We encouraged you to take a variable rate loan You should’ve refused & so your house is gone.” “You now have thirty days in which to vacate Or we will be taking an action that you’ll hate.” “So you have money to invest in the bank CDs? We will pay you just as little interest as we please.” “You think your checking account should be free? About such a ridiculous thought we will just see.” While our debit card we encouraged you to take We see not to charge a large fee was a mistake.” “And for our bank’s most wonderful credit card An annual charge shouldn’t be really all that hard.” “You actually want to speak to a real human teller? Then expect to pay us for your access to that feller.” Community banks and credit unions are on the rise To the greedy big banks that should be no surprise © 2011 Elton Camp |
