Merrill Lynch Recenzje 146

Attorney Yohan Lee is a Advisor to the Merrill Lynch. His office is located in California. I had to report lawyer Yohan Lee. Report Fraud FTC GOV n 172269563. It was reported to the Court of Justice which confirmed my right to compensation for the serious damage caused by Lawyer Lee to my company due to causes attributable to bank fraud. This review will remain active until damages are paid. After payment of damages I will cancel it. Attention to the lawyer Lee but also to some of his representatives, it is not clear whether the responsibility for the damages suffered falls entirely on him or on his representatives. But this is not our problem. He is a lawyer and surely if he is not guilty he will be able to recover the damage from those responsible and not continue to harm us. Note: we have also already sent an email to Merryll Lynch and also to Banknof America. Antonini Ceo Mecdom group

Liars, maniupalutive, cheaters, downright horrible company to deal with. Both parents have been clients for over four decades. When it came to me managing mothers account they have been given both of us the run around for years. Back in 2019 filled out POA paperwork at a local branch. Apparently it was never filed on their part because five years later when I made first inquiry to release ROTH funds account was frozen. Even though account access was granted in 2019. Apparently they felt "elder" abuse wss taken place. Again even though multiple attempts were made in 2019 to let them know legitimate activity was requested. Forward 5! years. They gave us the run around with 2024 POA forms, lied to us when they said they were researching requests, lied to us about process, lied to us about check distribution, cheated us out of potential interest earnings, sent us condescending letters, the list of how horrible their agents and reps are goes on and on. Meanwhile mind you an ex of mine was taking care of my Dads account (totally separate from Moms) transferring money out of stocks, linking distributions for her own financial gain, and that went on for years and years. Not until I took over financial affairs for my Dad did I discover. But they never questioned and my Dad was siphoned dry. Mom holds multiple assets with multiple financial institutions and Merrill is by far the worse. They preach that they are customer orientated and customer friendly which is a bunch of hot air. Just bad ethics, bad morals, bad company. I only pray that others don't have to deal with the frustration and humility that my mom and I had to endure over a 5 year period. Waiting on ROTH funds to this day...... JUST PLAIN 😥

I cannot even begin to explain how long it took to get tax information from them. I had to call them because the company I worked for couldn't give me any of my account information as they did not have it. So I called them.... over and over, being a total of 6 times in the past 2 months. First 2 times I was told that I didn't give them the right information and it was said they still couldn't resend it to the ADDRESS THEY HAVE ON FILE because I answered the question about my leaving date wrong (which it has been years since I have worked for that company). The next 2 times they said they were sending it in the mail, never did. They said it would take about 10 business days to arrive, but it has been days over that amount of time. The 5th time I called them, I asked to speak with a manager, I was transferred to 4 different people, then finally management. I told the manager that I will have to contact the IRS about the penalties I would receive for not filing in time, telling them that this company was (the first few times) refusing to send my tax information to me, then the rest of the time, saying they did send it, but never did. Magically, after this, he knew how to solve the issue, and he told me that he thinks I can just have it emailed to me. That manager then put me on hold and had to "go ask" if he could email it to me instead as to not receive penalties since the date is so close. I feel like he should know if he is indeed management, but obviously he did not. He then got the email wrong after checking with me 5 times to make sure it was right (not sure how that happened), he sent it to the wrong email. So I didn't receive it yesterday like he said I would. Had to call them again today asking to speak with a manager which they did not transfer me to and finally got an associate to figure the situation out that the manager could not. It was sent over through email finally, and it was quick and easy with the last guy, except the fact that he would ask a question then put me on hold for several minutes making me not want to speak with him at all. It was about an hour on the phone with them every time I have called before this. Always putting you on hold every 2 minutes for about 5 minutes with each and every person. I also found it to be funny when I called them for the second time last month and asked to speak with management, the associate then got very rude with me and told me that I would be told the same thing by the manager (my account couldn't be accessed), which is extremely unprofessional and so sad to see people like that working for this company. He told me he couldn't help me with anything else and told me to have a great day. Which I feel like If I'm asking for a manager it means I no longer want to speak with you as you are no help to me, regardless of what you think they are going to tell me. Obviously I was being lied to because the manager did try to email it to me but got the email wrong, but I did indeed finally receive it this last time. Obviously I cannot file without this documentation, and if I received a penalty it would not be my fault because I was being refused and lied to. They couldn't even resend the document in the mail to the address on file without asking an ungodly amount of questions just to make sure I am who I say I am. The also had to do this to have them email it to me which is understandable, but if I'm asking for it to be resent to the address on file, then I shouldn't be denied for answering my leaving date wrong (as again, its been years). Which I understand needing to ask questions to verify, but a lot of the questions were weird and made me uncomfortable (Name, Social Security, DOB, address on file, when I left the company I worked for, what color an old truck I had was, what my dads age was, how tall I am on my drivers license, and more) This is the worst customer service I've ever dealt with, not saying they are all rude, some of them are nice, but man do they make things frustrating when they can't even do what you ask the first few times you have called. The first people to answer the phones are rude. I mean I even to a manager who didn't do his job correctly yesterday, making me call again today to talk to an associate who helped way more than someone who is so called "above them". What a disgrace of a company, so glad I never have to talk to them again. I mean what a bunch of loops you have to go through to get them to do anything for you. If you are looking for a sign to go somewhere else, here it is.

I deposited $5300 in November, 2023. The funds were put on hold, and shortly after I made the mobile deposit, my account was frozen & I have been unable to access those funds. It is now March, 2024. Merrill refuses to return the funds to me or the issuing bank.

I don't recommend. Cannot reset password without SSN.

Absolutely dreadful Company to deal with. They don’t answer letters. If you manage to talk to a human they transfer and leave you waiting, you wait so ages to be transferred with no response from original person. Put phone down costing a fortune in phone calls. Trying to leave them but can’t get through. Latest robot said a callback was possible I set it up . Don’t believe a word, they haven’t.

I have been calling Merrill Lynch during different days and times and when I enter all my information and the reason for my call they leave me on hold for up to two hours without any agent answering the call and without any courtesy response to notify the customer at least the time expected wait time, forcing the person to abandon the call for obvious reasons.
This is a complete lack of respect towards the costumer.

Quite outstanding at how bad customer experience can be. If you actually manage to speak to a telephone operator they just put you back into the automated systems that ends in the same terminal spiral. I have so far spent two hours on the phone trying to correct a problem they have create and made no progress. For international customers I finally got the information that I could use 000 000 000 as a social security number to get me to the next step. For a moment I thought there was progress but a short while latter I ended up in the same spiral being told to call the number I started with!

Merril lynch is the worst earning app you will ever encounter in your investment experience in india. Their fund managers cunningly intice you to first buy their rs 300 plan saying you will earn from 1000 to 3000 rupees daily. After you join their app by registering you find that the amount was transferred into a mutual fund with a meager rs 6 per day plan expiring in 50 days. But mater does not end here. The managers will dm you daily to fill you with merril lynch propoganda where you get sick of reading. In case you don't co-operate they will threaten you with cancellations freeze. You will be forced to joing their group every evening where you need to Sing the merryil lynch praise ir else. Some of the we women executives turn rude and hostile after once you join.

Merrill Lynch deactivated my account after I requested a wire transfer to another bank. I received an email from them confirming that the transfer request was successfully submitted. The transfer was subsequently flagged as "Potential Fraud" and my account was disabled without any notification to me. After noticing that the transfer did not go through I contacted them the next day. They told me that they needed to confirm that I was not going to use the funds to "mine Bitcoin." After laughing I told them "no" and they went ahead and allowed the transfer. Its 1/12/24 and I am being told that it is going to take a few more days before my account can be enabled again. This is the worst experience that I have ever had trying to get access to MY money. I am in the process of closing my account and moving my money to Fidelity.

Horrible company to deal with!!! Horrible at communicating with clients.
There phone system sucks too. Really hard to get through to talk to anyone.
They absolutely suck!!!!

Five years ago I opened a Wealth Management Account with Merrill Lynch for the purpose of Dividend income. Initially, the stocks selected by my advisor for this purpose went up slightly. However in 2022, my account lost 26% (!!!). This year it lost more money. My advisor called me and suggested to sell one stock before the end of 2023. It had lost all value! I took a loss of $50,000. All of my other stocks in this 'Wealth Management Account' lost money for a total loss of 30%. This is really unacceptable. I'll get out of ML as soon as I can! Horrible financial experience!

As soon as I can, I am going to discontinue dealing with them. I didn't care for them 20 years ago and dislike them even more now. I prefer Voya over them. When I saw the Bank of America logo, I knew I didn't want to deal with them anymore. I will close that asap.

Just an awful experience. I would not want anyone else to go through what I went through. Their platform is not made for anyone that has any inclining about trading or self directed investing. They are a disaster, and when you dig deep into their operations, they have many many flaws, which will definitely hinder your ability to act quickly it be trading, or it be transferring assets

My mother had money with Merrill Lynch. When she passed away, my sister and I inherited it and I was the executor. It took me 4 months and over 30 phone calls to finally get the money. They required me to have the same form notarized 5 times because they kept changing what was required on it. They even pre-filled it a couple of times themselves and then said it was wrong. You are not allowed to talk to anyone on the the team that approves the distribution. You have to go through a so-called support team and they continually give you wrong information. I requested 3 times for a manager to call me due to all the problems, and no one ever called. It is the worst example of customer service that I can recall ever having.

I had company shares from my US employer.

All documents assume you are based in the UK which makes Tax reporting extremely difficult.

It is very difficult to contact them from the UK. No international numbers are provided.

We have been trying to get Power of Attorney for each other in case of emergency (illness, injury) so we can speak to ML on each other's behalf. On 9-20-23, they e-mailed us the forms. We jumped through hoops (notary, scanning & returning the forms online which they said we could do) to no avail. They wanted all the forms they e-mailed us returned. We scanned & did that. Then they wanted the forms returned in order. Mind you, the forms are numbered. Then they wanted the forms faxed through BoA. We did that. Then they said they only received 4 pages. They said they were sending a postage-paid envelope so we can mail the forms back. It arrived today but when we went to UPS, they wanted $104.00. At this point, it seems as if they don't really care because they are so big & we are so small.

What a hassle! I started an account for our granddaughter! I had to have the money transferred from my BOA account and I am the executive of the account. It’s her 17th birthday and she wanted the monies to get her first car! After much jumping thru hoops I can’t just have the money transferred back to my account but instead they need to send a checkbook in her name which then we have to cash a check to get her car! They said if I could prove it was for her car they would reimburse me! It was my money that was put in and now I’m questioned as to what she needs the money for! Really? Seems they want the checking account fees now!

Completly fed up with this company. They are criminal. The way they lock me out of my account every few months then I gotta hack my way back in. Completly criminal and I hope they don't last long. Now I have access and can't get my IRA transfered to a different brokerage.

Getting a little frustrated with them. I have been waiting for 3 months for inheritance to be rolled into my merrill inheritance IRA. Last we she told me that the paperwork was complete and my inheritance would be rolled over into my account within 5 days. I look this morning no money I called them and got a whole new response of my birthrate was incorrect. How? I opened and IRA and sent my ID already. So I sent it again. They they told me my two sisters have a list to do. We all keep getting the run around. I am going to file a complaint with FIRNA if this is not straightened out. This is agonizing. It is bad enough to have to deal with you brother and mother dying. But having to make us jump through hoops hurts in a bad way. No compassion. And serious worry about this corporation and their business practices.
