When Washington Mutual was bought by Chase, my secured credit card was cancelled without request and I had to open a new credit card with Chase. The new credit card I opened with Chase was not a secured credit card, but an actual major credit card with expandable credit limits.
The original secured credit card credit limit was created with my own $400; that was my credit limit. During the merger, I was told I would be issued a refund for my $400, for which I never received!
I have discussed this with multiple Chase bank managers, who act puzzled when I bring this up (as this was so long ago). The first time I disputed this, I was told to go back to the original branch to get my refund.
Ever since then, I am told, "we will submit a case to research this," by each manager, but then the manager never calls me back. I am being given the run-around and this is theft from a major corporation. I am ready to contact the press about this issue.

If you call them, you may find they are willing to waive the fees in light of the fact that you were sent a letter saying they would pay off the account for you. This assumes that your savings account was sufficient to cover the cc balance. At the very least, their letter was confusing.
