European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 13, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday May 13,18bb the stars and stripes Letl ifs writer tired of Bank service complainers i am an employee of what was american express in Hanau. The other Day i was gelling it new id card. While i was waiting for it i overheard someone cutting Down my employer Only she referred to it As american she claimed thai we screwed up her account. I have been in banking for five years and employed a american express since november 1985.1 work in the collection department so 1 have heard every a Euse in the Book i am sick and tired of hearing complaints from people who Don t even have he to Munesy to Tell someone who works in the Bank. So let s set the record straight of anyone Reading this has Ever used one of the following excuses thai a for you if not thank you for banking with us. American express does not 1. Bounce your checks. 2. Screw up your account. 3. Give you the wrong balance. Since you and you alone can write Check from your account How can we Bounce the Check when you wrote i7 if you have the fund available when the Check is presented it will be paid if not then it will be returned for insufficient funds if you keep an accurate record and balance your Check Book each time you receive a statement this will never happen to you. If you a not receive your statement in time come in and we will order you a new one or get you a photocopy. If you do not take the time and responsibility to keep your personal finances in order then we cannot be blamed for your incompetence. When a client does come in for a reconciliation you Are expected to bring in your last few statements your Check Book Complete with the Register and any overdraft notices you May have received. You would be amazed at How Many people do no keep a Regis Ter and Hen they wonder How they got into an Over draft situation. When we ask for a Register most people say1 Don t keep one i can remember All we Are not magicians or mind readers. When we give you a balance it s As of a certain Date. That Means if you made any transactions after that Date you must adjust your records. We do not know if you Nave written checks we can Only Tell you what has cleared the Bank. If you have a complaint by All Means Ell some one who works Al he Bank so we can fix it. Your Friend docs not work Here so Don t Tell them. This is or Money you should always know to the Penn much you have. We offer a lot of services for your convenience find out about them and use them. Then you won thave to waste your precious time waiting in the Bank line when you could Wail in any other line in Ger Many. Our hours Are clearly posted. When the Bank is closed we Are elated for business. Don t compounding at the door and say i Only need to Cash a Check when he tellers have been closed since 3 50 and it is j . You Don t Knock on the commissary door after they Are closed and say i Only need a loaf of bread so Don t try it Here. Also if you lose your atm card along with your pin number Don t be surprised when we Tell you that your account is highly overdrawn. If you had taken the Lime to protect your Money and report the card stolen or anything connected with the Bank for that Mailer this would not have happened. It would have been easier if you had just Given your Money to a Complete stranger. In Case you did t know it it s a dog cat dog world out there. If you Ever get shorted by a Teller you arc just As much to blame As the Teller for not counting your Money before you leave the window. We make mis takes too and we Are not offended if you double count your Money on the spot. So finally in closing i would like to ask one ques Tion. When merchant s Bank takes Over and they screw up your account what Are you going to Call them Lisa Winlan hindu it Germany cd 30 weight limitations corrected just read with interest the article about the c 130s lying out of Raf Mildenhall to Ben Walers and West Germany.

Minn. 5s97s. 170s Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers Yean ago 1 married the most wonderful Man. David does t drink though he claims to be an alcoholic. He does t smoke or use foul Lan Guage. He is helpful with the housework loves shopping and enjoys the children. The problem he disappears. Just end goes. There is Nevera quarrel no warning. He just goes. This happened the first Lime while i was pregnant with our son who is now 12. David went to work one morning and never was gone for seven months. I gave birth to our son alone. Out of the Blue he appeared in the living room said he had been drinking was sorry that he was t Here when the baby was bom and he doped i would forgive him. I said 1 would. The following year he said he had a Call saying two relative who live out of town were lulled in a hit and run Accident and he had to go handle the funeral an attend to Legal matters. This Lime he was gone for nine months. Then one Day i looked up from my desk at work and he was standing there. Again i forgave and took him Back. Shortly after that our family moved to another slate and we had two years of happiness. Then he disappeared again this Lime for sin months he left behind some checks that i had la cover and he look my car. When he resumed he Aid i drinking had done him in again and thai if i would take Zimback this one last time he would never drink again 1 look him Back and we had seven wonderful years. Last May David disappeared again. This time i had no Job very Little Money and had to give up my Home. My daughter and son in Law bless them brought me to Virginia and made a place for me with Ihm i was very Happy. Out of the Blue David called our older daughter who Hod always adored him. He was sick and gave the same old reason drinking and feeling that he could t take care of hit family. Good believable excuses right i had my misgivings. This time i did l exactly wet come him Back with open Arras because 1 did t quite believe him. I finally gave in however and he moved in with us at my daughter s House. He was working and making a Lille Money but i never saw any of in. You guessed it. He stayed just Long enough to be in a position to Lake my daughter s car and several Hundred dollars from the store where he was working. He aha look a pistol that belonged to my son in Law All my new clothes and the Small amount of Money in my purse. Now i believe that David is probably not his real name and that there Are other women in the country who think they Are legally married to this Man he has probably been doing this same number with god knows How Many others. In the past i have been Able to just sit and Wail. But this time i want to be free of this nut. 1 am ashamed of my stupidity and can t understand Why i look him Back alter he abandoned me so Many times. Please Lel me what to do. Thrown away wife in Texas dear wife 7 you need Legal counsel. This Man has rut Only left you he has stolen your daughter s car her husband s gun your new clothes and Money.
