I went to my branch featherbrook who took almost 3 hours to just send an email and then we had to wait for the \compliance department"to get back to us.) they didn't resolve the issue either.<br> It took a very helpful private Banker (not mine because mine never gets back to me- its either they engaged or on lunch) to lift the freeze.<br> Early this January I received notification that they will FREEZE MY ACCOUNT AGAIN!!! I told my private client who assured me it will not happen because everything is in order. I even sent him and the FICA guys my proof again just to be sure. AlAS as I wanted to make a payment last Friday and my account was FROZEN AGAIN!!!! I told Victor and he escalated to a TANDI who was very RUDE and did nothing to resolve the issue. I """
