My grandpa has been with metro for over 40 years so has my entire family, they are excellent, twice I've been able to get a loan same day without even going into the bank, one for $5000 and one for $10000. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a change in banking.

Do you have a certified copy of the judgment where you changed your name? I don't understand why they won't issue you a new transcript and diploma with that on record.

It's very new looking so I doubt it's been there very long. Nice to not have to go downtown though lol

I've used Commerce for over a decade. Any time I've had an issue, I've visited the branch on Battlefield & Fremont and they've fixed it without additional drama. I also had a new debit card printed there a week ago, which took 5 minutes.

I wonder how long that had been there, that almost sounds familiar. I don't frequent the south side of town much.

I feel like the art museum is a hidden gem. They switch things up regularly, and it's free. I've been going at least a few times a year.

I second Great Southern. My wife and I have been there for probably 15 years or more. The hours and locations were the big selling point in the beginning. Just wish they would get a location in Bolivar.

They actually have a location right by the Alamo on Campbell now. It's quite nice. I'm from STL so my CU is in STL and it's the only ATM I can use without a fee on top of that.

Metro has 1 location and it is downtown. My mom has banked there for years, I jumped ship after saving up for my first car. It has never been convenient.

Regions cuts same day debit cards

So,, according to the US Dept of Education:

>Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

You may have to go nuclear on this. cc the superintendent, registrar, etc and request the school district's FERPA policy for your review. I would summarize the date and times that you spoke with whoever you spoke with, and what they stated (ie, they stated it was illegal, you asked under what policy, and they hung up on you). Basically create a record of communication "paper trail". Keep it polite and factual.

I saw this! I called a second time and reminded them of FERPA, but the person kept saying it was illegal. When I pressed them for what state or federal laws that made it illegal, they couldn’t come up with anything and eventually hung up. I will most likely contact Lambda Legal and Promo to help.

It’s possible, my mom was crazy and used a fake name for us in high school (in springfield) and my sisters diploma was given to her with the wrong name, some time later it was a hassle getting into college due to not having the same name on her birth certificate and social so they had to send her an amended one. Just letting you know if they say they can’t keep pushing.

This resource may provide additional information about potential protections you may have.

Go to a credit union. Banks suck. My girlfriend has METRO CU and they seem pretty good.

I’ve been happy with Great Southern. Plenty of locations, convenient hours and they can print cards.

My only advice is avoiding the USPS at all costs. Took me months to get into it, then it was awful.

Your bank should allow you to decline overdraft protection, if that is an issue.

Our U.S. Bank Experience:

*The customer service is a HUGE plus for us. Every time we had to call, they were super friendly, fast acting, and helpful.

*They waived all of our "maintenance fees"

*They are PHENOMENAL at fraud alerts. If they detect any type of fraud, they will temporarily lock your card so no one can use it. It saved us big time when a thief attempted to steal money from our card.

*They never gave us any type of hassle and always got things done same day.

*No hidden fees, but don't overdraft your account.

*The app is very easy to navigate .

*They use recyclable cards for eco-friendly practices.

*There are a lot of branch locations in Springfield for easy access.

*I don't think they print debit cards the same day, though. They do have instant temporary ones you can get. Every time we have needed a new one, we just order it through the app, and it comes within a week or so.

We have had them for a little over five years now and love them!

Look into Care Credit. I used that several years ago when I didn’t have insurance.

It would be great if we could all expect some respect.
