I have been waiting 30 days to try to get my money back out of Merrill Edge. The telephone number is the only way, I am told, to get someone to help me but as of now I've spent more than 700 minutes on hold. I've spoken to two separate supervisors both of whom indicate their hands are tied and I have to continue to wait. They have blocked and put holds on my money for no explainable reasons. I am finally filing formal complaints and hiring a lawyer. Please avoid this company at all costs.
