On XXXX XXXX, I drove 3 hours from Washington DC to XXXX, PA for the sole purpose of closing my bank accounts with First National Bank ( who just bought out my bank - XXXX of PA ). I went to the XXXX branch on XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX ). I was met with, " We ca n't close your accounts until Tuesday because we do n't have account totals. '' Seriously? Way to plan for the merger! I signed all the paperwork and was told they would mail a check on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX to my temporary residence in XXXX, MD. It 's only XXXX miles away from XXXX so should have arrived the next day. Wednesday, the XXXX came and went. Thursday, the XXXX came and went and still no check. I called Friday, the XXXX and was told the checks were n't mailed until Thursday and should arrive early this week ( XXXX XXXX or XXXX ). 

It is now XXXX XXXX, almost TWO WEEKS after closing my accounts and I STILL HAVE NO CHECK. I called again this morning and talked to the bank manager, XXXX, and was told that the checks were sent last Thursday, the XXXX, not Tuesday as promised, but they went to a main bank or corporate or whatever in XXXX first and would be sent out from there sometime. " Probably Monday or Tuesday she said but that was a guess. She did not verify that they were indeed sent out. '' Meanwhile, I have {$50.00} in cash to my name which I used to open the account at the new bank. I have an overdue credit card which is now maxed out because I have no cash and First National Bank has my {$15000.00} in limbo for almost 2 weeks and the best part is I now owe a late fee and all the interest on it because of this whole screwed up process and the repeatedly being lied to. I also have no way to pay my electric bill or buy groceries. Way to go First National. I clearly made the right decision to close my accounts when they bought out XXXX. I want my XXXX money!!!
