I was thinking of opening an account with them shortly. I will be watching this thread with great interest. Suffice to say the guys I send to "collect" my money? it will hurt..

This guy is international. It doesn't matter what broker we're talking about, wires are not as easy. There are many other posts with internationals who have trouble with wires.

I sent an email about this to my guy there and in 7 minutes I had a reply. Checks = 5 business days wires = 2 business days. I can live with that.

Guess I won't need the "Gomez Brothers" after all..LMAO

@patbateman

Not according to his post #6 - he says it is a simple DOMESTIC wire transfer.

Give them the address of the Attorney General of Illinois. I used that ploy on Etrade five years ago,funny how fast they were in sending me a check.

I think there is a AMP rep here,give him a buzz.


BTW where you getting deployed? the USA is pulling troops out that fiasco overseas....forget where...

Ok, here is where we stand with is AMP wire transfer thing , like i said before in my first thread I am not here to bash or to start rumors , i just wanted to get my hard earned money back , $8000 to be precise and that is like 1/3 of my yearly income . i was given the run around by AMP and for a time left in the dark about my funds and was told that i just had to wait it out and see what happens ? , are you kidding me !!! this is your answer to your client over a simple wire transfer ? So only after getting my commanding officer involved,better business bureau and posting this thread on BIG Mike did i finally get my money, only took like 3 days 4 hours ? strange it took me 20 mins to wire funds into my AMP account and only like 3 days and 4 hours of tooth and nail fight to get it back. To be fair the Boss over there did give me a call and said he was sorry over the matter , but this is something that should not ever be aloud to happen . But for some reason this seems to be he norm in the banking system today , no accountability, high fee, terrible customer service and don’t give a care attitude . Remember we all have rights and i say too you all don't let theses institutions just run you over and do with your money as they like , ok well off my soap box ,Good look to all that have and will have a AMP account , hope you have a good commanding officer

PS thanks for all the support guys

As far as I know Wire Transfer sometimes can take more than 3 days... Once my broker kind of "lost" my Wire somehow but they locate it after, but it was not AMP. As I said in another thread AMP looks very suspicious to me. Well, good luck.

Sorry but wire transfer doesnt take 3 busienss day unless they charge u for wire and did ACH transcation. Wire Transfer is same day if u do before 3 PM. Most it takes if u do today tomorrow before 3 PM its in your account .Not 3 days

I live in UK and I send money to US banks, so it is not a domestic wire. They also charge me for that.

Two hours passed from post #1 and your last post (both above). 2 hours.

While I am no fan of Amp, I don't think you have been fair. The thread title is misleading, and I also don't believe that it was the BBB or your Commanding Officer that really made the wire appear within minutes.

The timing simply suggests the wire was already on its way to you, before you ever even made this thread.

I think it is fair to criticize Amp for their customer service, but not to suggest they are going to collapse and an urgent call to get your money out.

So, I am renaming this thread to "Amp Global - problems getting my money out" from its original "GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF AMP Global Clearing ASAP". It seems to be a much more fair thread title. Especially since you stated it is not your intent to start rumors or cause damage to Amp.

If you have a problem with this, contact me.

Mike

now the OP obviously just got nervous because of the un-responsivness from AMP ... but jumping to false conclusions and pointing them out to the public is just wrong,


I got an small account with them for 2 years now , wire outs always came within 3 days to my country.

can agree their costumer support is nothing to brag about , but its ok in the end the job is getting done.
