This reminds me of an experience I had years ago with what was then Suburban Bank (now Bank America). I bought a CD for $5000 when CDs were very new and the rules and regulations were not well established. I attempted to cash in the CD before the maturity date to buy a car. I was told by the Bank that the penalty was that there would be no interest earned. What a surprise! Apparently it was in the fine print somewhere. My reaction was to ask to speak with the VP in charge of CDs. After a long discussion he agreed that it probably wasn’t quite fair, and since he made the rules he could break them. They paid me the interest for the time held. It does pay to confront. It also pays to go as high in the authority chain as possible.
