After that, nobody ever brought up the surveys again.

Ha...👍
Of course, we really ought to issue them a survey as well, just so we can get a better sense of exactly who we are dealing with.

If your plan is to take out a loan in a foreign currency you’ve never even laid eyes on—one with both a floating interest rate and a fluctuating exchange rate—just because the initial rate looks lower than a standard USD loan, then please, just stop right there. If you want to spend years complaining about the fallout later, by all means, go ahead and move your business from your current bank to any of the major US institutions, except maybe for that one specific Health insurance company

I am quite grateful for the advice, neondriver5...
I find myself wondering if there exists a single reasonable, approachable bank out there that isn't driven by the kind of rampant greed we seem to see everywhere here in the States.

Once you have a signed purchase agreement in hand, you are essentially set.

By what authority does the law permit such intrusive inquiries into one's private affairs?

What kind of question is that... I think I know which one is the absolute worst. It's JPMorgan Chase.

I had been giving some serious thought to moving my accounts over to them lately, but after seeing the crowds of citizens organized in protest outside the JPMorgan Chase branches today because they refuse to engage in any meaningful dialogue, I’ve decided to pass...

I spent several years insured with Allstate, and honestly, the experience was perfectly ordinary—nothing out of the ordinary.
Now, thanks to the same agent who handled my Allstate policy, I have transitioned over to State Farm.
While I wouldn't go so far as to say there has been a massive shift in service, my premiums have actually decreased, though they have added a few minor perks that I likely won't ever find a use for.
