Liberty Bank Essex Branch

they keep holding a check($224000) I deposited on 10/08/2013 without letting me know why it was holding that long. I called them 10 days after, the lady picked up the phone with very bad attitude says I didn't deposit correctly. This is fine but they really should notify me. She hand up on me when I said they really should contact the client. I'm very upset with this experience and I had to call back to ask what I should do to get my money back.. turn out me and my husband has to go to the branch to make sure we are the right person. We both work full time from 8 to 5, the bank opens from 9 to 4, so we have to take half day off to get this resolved. I believe there is a better way to identify a person with current technology like other big banks. Liberty is really so behind and the customer service is so bad!
