The Local gunsmith I work for was recently denied a Loan from Chase Bank simply becuase he worked in the firarms industry. At first they denied him the loan becuase of the 'Patriot Act', but then he recieved another call from Chase Bank telling my boss the truth: they denied him the loan, even though he had an excellent credit history, because he worked in the firearms industry.

Needless to say, he's pulling his supoort and buisness from that bank and will post up a the letter of denial for all to see.

I could understand if my boss simply had a horrible credit history or was a criminal, but they simply denied him the loan because he is a gunsmith. To me, that is blatant;y prejudice aginst the people who work in the industry, like my boss and myself.

I don't know if any of you have had problems with Chase, but I know I will never deal with them, ever, for the stuff they pulled this last week.

Just giving everyone a heads up.

Thanks for your time.

That's strange.  So it was because he works in the firearm industry?  They actually directly told him that?  I've got some Chase accounts and they've been pushing it with me lately.  Just another reason to take my business elsewhere.

chase sucks ass for many reasons.   i had a banc one card that i have had for years --as soon as chase took over, customer service went out the window.  i would go 100 miles out of my way to avoid doing business with those nimrods.
