I know exactly how you feel. There are literally dozens of companies I'd really like to sue. And yes, I truly emphasize with your desire to sue bonehead employees.
It's just such a headache unless you're used to legal actions.
Initially I try to solve dispute by publishing.
See http://www.bayhouse.com/GTE-sux.html
or for a much more business like approach
http://www.bayhouse.com/airtel.html
I have not heard from AirTel or the collection agency since I mailed this web page.
GTE STILL causes one problem after another, and I'm very serious about suing GTE. But I'm not sure if either one of us has a case. Many Judges side with Corporate America, often they are elected with corporate campaign contributions.
Anyways, publishing disputes definitely helps establish your case. You've got lots of witnesses!
I'll be happy to link to those types of web pages (or provide web space) and possibly contact the bank for comments :)

: I'm seriously considering sueing a bank that I've been doing business with for over a year. It seems that they like to extend offers and then when I take them up on it they renig stating that a computer glich prevents them from making good on the offer. I iniatially spoke with a customer service representative who assured me that we would get it resolved. Only to find that the next representative said that the first representative had no authority to make decisions. After arguing endlessly I feel I have no choice but to sue the BANK. 1. Are there groups who will help in this pursuit and 2. Can I also sue the employee of the bank who is a bonehead for mental distress?
