Dont eat at IHOP

As most of you know, IHOP really fuggered my account last week.

Hubby went to IHOP late at night with his friends, had a bowl of fruit, 2 sprites and a set of toast.

His total was 8.32 w/ tip.


This charge cleared our account at 11pm.
About an hour after he ate.

At 1 am, our account was hit for more then 9 thousand dollars.

FROM?

IHOP.


Ihop denies this. Completely .

Of course we do NOT have 9 thousand in our account so it is frozen and thrown into the hands of the theft dept.

Going back and forth to the bank, almost every day, one day twice~!
IHOP even told Bank of America on the SPEAKER phone.. this charge was not their fault as they don't have record of it..
yet, when you look directly at my account you can see IHOP right next to the nine thousand dollar charge.

Long story short, it is now 7 days later and only NOW do I have access to my bank account.

Bank of America had to actually credit almost 10,000 to my account to cover the bounced checks and the IHOP charge so it would actually post, so they could delete it.

I'm not sure what Ihop could have done to stop the charge when it is pending like that.. but they out right called my husband , my self, and my bank liars.

They cost me almost 100.00in late fees wich Bank of America picked up for us, either dismissed, or printed up 'official' letters for me to submit to my accounts whos payments bounced.

Tell me that is appropriate behavior for IHOP to deny a problem, tell me , my husband, and my bank that WE are wrong. That noone at IHOP made that charge.. and I will just stare at you like you are a fool.


I'm on a boycott IHOP bandwagon.

Because their employee made a mistake, that HAD to be obvious ... I mean
WHO
eats 9 grand worth of food THERE??

They would not own up, they would not cooperate with my bank, and called us liars.
We have had to borrow money from friends just so we could have gas.
Forget groceries.. or anything else.

BORROW.. why should I have to do that??
