Because I have been royally burned by TD and CIBC. TD got me and another client with the same name and birthdate confused, took me over a year to sort out my credit history and make everything right.
CIBC told me that they don't want "my kind of people" as clients. My kind being working students, and people with piercings. When I approached them about a mortgage for my house in Edmonton the woman told me to my face that she didn't think I could "afford something so extravagant". My letters of complaint and attempts to speak with a branch manager over the incident were all ignored.
So yeah...I'm done with the big banks....maybe I should just be done with the whole banking system all together. The only bank I've never been burned by, and always treated properly has been ING.
