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
