I hope this bank crashes and burns. I appllied for a lone at this place and they turned me down. AND I have fantastic credit. I went to BofA and they offered me more than I asked for. My income was over $140k/yr and I had no loans except my home. No, Wachovia can burn in hell and I pray they this bank does just that. I move all my savings and investments to BofA since they were willing to service my needs when I needed them!
