      This bank is horrible. I open an bank account and I got a routing and account number. After I opened the account, I called customer care and spoke with ***. She told me I could set up my weekly direct deposit. Thats what I went ahead and did. Now I get paid weekly, usually get my money Wednesday nights around 9:00pm with my current bank. (first Merchant) so I set up direct deposit and noticed that my money wasnt in my WinTrust bank account Wednesday night or Thursday Morning. The representative told me my account was closed!!!! I never got a call via email phone call nothing! To inform me the account was closed! Now I spoke with *********, she is the branch Manager at this location! ************************* is over *********. I spoke to both of them Friday and they both told me to come pick up my money Saturday (today). I then drove 25 mins, just for *********************** to tell me the money isnt there in the account! And that she dont know if it got sent back to my employer! Then she turned around and says we can overnight you a check Monday! Well first of all I asked ********* if that could be done Initially !! This is ridiculous! Disgusting.

      Ive been trying to get my PMI cancelled on my mortgage payment since July. They have no clear process and give different information about what steps need to be taken each time we speak. When I call, they say to w mail. When I e mail, they are not responsive. This is costing me $161 per month.

      I am rejecting this response because:the issue is not resolved. The request for more time doesnt address anything. If I **** resolved it seems like there will be no way to ensure a reply. 

      Sincerely,
