Incomptence on scale across Merrill Lynch
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent handling of my attempt to deposit a check into my IRA account. Despite my efforts to follow the instructions provided by your representatives, I have encountered a series of miscommunications and procedural errors on your part.
Initially, after attempting to contact your firm for guidance, it took three days to receive a response.
Call any of your offices and see how it goes nowhere, a complete and utter joke in the modern era. When advised, I was directed to deposit the check at a local branch, only to later be informed that the deposit was not possible due to my account being an "Edge" account, which requires mail-in deposits. This crucial piece of information was not communicated by either the initial representative or the branch staff at the time of deposit.>
> The lack of knowledge and coordination between different parts of your firm has resulted in my check being in limbo, necessitating its cancellation and reissuance, incurring additional fees and inconvenience on my part. I question how such a level of service and internal disorganization aligns with Merrill Lynch's fiduciary responsibilities to its clients.
I expect a prompt resolution to this matter and request guidance on how to proceed without further detriment to my financial activities.
Get your act together and quit being an embarrassment to the US public! The CEO appears to be the worst leader possible to run Merrill.
- Good luck on finding anyone competent

Absolutely horrible experience with Brian c in Darien yesterday
My wife and I visited the Merrill Lynch office in Darien yesterday I have a 401 k through my employer . The talk was a disaster he first said all anuitys charge they do not Brian c.
Was impulsive demanding boring repetitive exhausting he made us feel uncomfortable he insisted on knowing how much money I have . He has compassion for his job he is inept confused thoughtless a provocateur scary he's too tall . I will never go to that office again he's needs to retrained or fired because what he did yesterday . Brian needs to turn his license and degree back in and apologizing for what he did by wasting the schools time .
You must fire this *** he does not know how.to.talk to people we decided to cancel our 401k with Merrill Lynch . America you've been warned .

Absolutely horrible experience with Brian c in Darien yesterday
It's about Brian at Merrill Lynch Darien and how he was raised, his father might have been an aggressor with a submissive wife in turn brian turns into one himself perhaps to his submissive wife or to his three sons . When he watches hockey checking and fistfights he turns that way to his clients looks like he failed at hockey .
This is what unsuspecting people have to endure with wanna be hockey player . He has to live his life where no one will challenge there all the same his father and everyone who works for someone else anyone who reads this never ever go into Merrill Lynch in Darien CT you've been warned .

Merrill Lynch investments office fails to respond.
Merrill Lynch investments office fails to respond. What are my rights as being an investor with Merrill Lynch?
It seems this brokerage firm, Merrill Lynch of Toms River NJ , Hopper Ave office, only wants an account if you only actively trade! I am a senior with fixed income investments. My question is: Do I have the right to take my account where I choose? My ML brokers recently left the merrill Lynch to go to Morgan Stanley.
My account was in NY and I thought it best to bring it to a local office. I live in Toms river NJ. I am set in my investments, only trade several times a year and dont want to actively trade. I do buy and sell several times a year and need some assistance.
So far for two weeks now, I have contacted this office four times, and not received a return phone call, after promises of the same! I assume they don't want my account since, I am not an active trader, and the brokers in this office, wont make enough money in commissions from my account. First, this is disrespectful and rude, and very unprofessional. At this point , since they cant even return my call, do I want them handling my money?
I am a senior and feel I have rights do do business where I please. I feeI am being discriminated against!
do I have legal rights as a consumer? I will proceed with filing a complaint.
