Amazing Elroy - your post is making me feel deja vu - right down to 90% of the floor space being dedicated to mortgage type business and the fedex packet. Did you copy me or did I copy you? How many more people made Fedex some money yesterday? Message 22614505

>>Although Countrywide is headquartered in Southern California, Countrywide Bank is a Texas based bank which is not licensed to operate in California.<< ROTFL, you suppose that's due to Texas' nototoriously "relaxed" enforcement of banking regulations, do you? Texas was "Ground Zero" for the S&L meltdown of the '80's, was it not?<G>

When Mary and I were thinking seriously about moving to Austin we opened a joint account at a Wells Fargo in her old neighborhood there. Because we currently live in New York they characterize our account as being a "California" account with the requirement that any of our mailed deposits must go to a CA mailing location in order for them to be credited to our Austin branch account. My conversations with them about this at first were also quite amusing. They seemed pleasantly perplexed by my questioning of the practice at all.
