WAMU disabled online access so quickly. Why?

[Doghouse]

Last week, about five days ago, I told six creditors I planned to explore the option of filing for bankruptcy and have retained an attorney and gave them my attorney's number. This stopped most of the 15+ daily calls I was getting.

Today, tried to log online to WAMU to take one last peek at my Dec FICO score, which WAMU offers free to cardmembers, but discovered my online access is already disabled. I thought they deny you access after you have filed BK and not while you are thinking of filing for BK (even though I have not made last 2 payments). What gives? The other five creditors are still active and I have access.

Remember they're not really WAMU anymore, but Chase. You should never have called them about the possibility of filing.

Wamu did the same thing to me back in July when I told them I had retained an attorney. Within three days they had locked me out from online access.

I didn't call them. They called me ... several times a day. I did not call any of my creditors. Finally just started giving all of them my attorney's number now that I have officially retained her.

Hi,
I haven't decided whether to file BK, but exactly three months after I stopped paying my WAMU card they wouldn't let me log onto online banking any more. That is right around the time that the account went to collections and I NEVER talked to them once. I tracked the numbers they used to call me and they had called with over 34 different phone numbers!

Even though they're not officially WAMU but chase, their website still works for WAMU customers as I can still log onto my checking/savings account that I never got around to closing. If you were still paying your bill on time, you'd have all access even with them being Chase.

They disabled my online account the day after I filed. They were the quickest ones, other cards are STILL calling me and I've already have my 341!

CHASE filed a lawsuit against me after I stopped paying them for 3 month and I settle with another company at a discounted rate. That lawsuit is what pushed me to contact my lawyer and file for chapter 7.

They are ruthless..............
