      BMO bought out Bank of the West. When we purchased our boat and trailer, it was financed by Bank of the West. The trailer title was stored electronically in the *** system. We have since paid off the loan and BMO will only send us a paper lien release which is useless. *** liens must be released electronically on the system in which they were stored. We have contacted BMO on half a dozen occasions and talk to several people including ****** with the resolution department, *****, Novel, and then there are many others that we didn't get to talk to because when we were transferred to "supervisors" we were hung up on. This has occurred over the past two days of phone calls and we have made zero progress. Someone at BMO must know how to release an *** lien, but we are not allowed to reach the person that appears to have the ability to do this. NC DMV explicitly refuses to accept a paper lien release because it was stored electronically by the lender. We are tired of getting the runaround and just want the electronic lien released in the *** system. We have provided all notarized verifications, and jump through multitudes of hoops to get assistance and all we ever hear is that they can resend us another paper release or an email version of the release. Which is not at all an *** electronic lien release. We need someone to do their job and issue the electronic release in the *** system.

      This is the absolute worst bank I have dealt with in my entire life. They hold your money for days before it is released, customer service is helpless, the "fraud" department reads off of a script and if you're upset, they say "I understand" with no help AND was told they don't have a manager to escalate the problem to. Very frustrating. My son is having expensive surgery that had to be paid for by 7/28. I went into the bank to deposit a check for the amount of the surgery and was told by the bank rep that half would be accessible the next day and the rest on 7/28. The next morning I went to look at my account and couldn't log in. I tried every password, thinking it was me. I called BMO and was told that the fraud department locked me out of my account, flagged my check, and that they would send me a letter with a response in 15 - 30 days!!!! I explained to her that my son was having surgery and that I needed the money and all she said was "I understand". When I asked to speak to a manager or someone higher up she said there is no manager in the fraud department. I went into the bank where I live and oh my gosh, what a mess they made of my account. The good news, the surgery was paid for. Bad news, the check is still sitting in bank and I haven't accessed any of it. Do NOT bank with this company. I had the worst experience, such a nightmare. Another thing I find weird is that when you go to the actual bank where I live, it's a huge building standing on its own, but there are only 3 people who work there. The rest of the bank is dark.
