--- Quote from: Shasta542 on July 20, 2007, 01:08:26 am ---I am mad. I had to renew my check cashing card because it got worn out. Well, while it was gone, I accidentally overdrew my checking account. I had the money in savings, but just didn't realize I needed to transfer!! I got 4 NSF fees---$25.00 each. So that's $100.00 gone. I have been with that bank for 10 years, and I asked them to waive the fees. They waived 1 of them. Does it really cost the bank $25.00 to take care of each NSF?? I know it's my fault, but as far as I can remember--that's my first overdraw at that bank. All 4 of the overdraw amounts were LESS than the $25.00 fee. UGH. I am mad at myself and at my BANK!!!! It's like burning $75.00 which is NO fun.
Then my cousin tells me a while back the same thing happened to him. He went to the bank in person---and the same bank officer waived all 4 of his overdraw fees!!! He was mad because they'd cashed the largest check first, and if they'd cashed all the others first, he would have had only 1 NSF fee. I talked to the bank guy over the phone and he even LECTURED me.
Ugh---probably because I'm a woman and I wasn't adamant. I need to be more forceful, I guess. Shoulda gone in person.
Now the good. My aunt cooked supper tonight for my cousins and me. She made dressing, chicken and dumplings, corn, green beans with potatoes, tomatoes, and for dessert apple pie and vanilla bean ice cream. Man, it was good ...... and fattening. Home cooked meal---yummy!! Then she gave me some of it to bring home for tomorrow plus a cantaloupe and a watermelon. I'm set. LOL

The same thing happened to me, Shasta. Only, my charges totaled $500.00 and the bank promised to waive the overdraft charges for 3 of them, but never did. I refused to pay and they're now threatening to sue. I don't care. I had it out with the young CS guy telling him that I've been banking at his bank since before he was born, and that they just lost a 35 year customer. I emptied my savings and opened a credit union checking and savings. I'm a lot happier now. $38.00 for overdraft charges that they approved on debit Visa. The nerve of some people!

--- Quote ---I leave for Calgary Saturday and OMG is it ever time! Work is about to wear me out. One of the interns left to go back home to Philly today. I love her-even after just 3 weeks and will miss her. My other Philly intern will leave when I'm in Alberta and I will be very (in bold, caps, red and 24 font) sad cuz I love him to pieces. I wish he would stop calling me "ma" though...

Have fun in Calgary, RouxB!! What kind of interns were you training?
--- Quote ---My house is a mess, the guest bedroom (which needs to be used in my absence) is littered with mail and other crap, dirty dishes in the sink, cat hair and dust everywhere else (probably in the sink as well) and I am doing what I do best-procrastinate!

LOL. You sound like me!! Are you a Libra? I will dust and then 3 days later---it's back. It's like--what's the use? If I leave it a few days, it looks the same. My cousin, who lets my dogs out, sometimes writes a note in it.
OMG. Once she wrote "Nice" in the dust on my stove---shows you how much I cook.
Good luck with your clean-up nite--maybe some nice people will help you. :P Have a great trip!!

Holy geez---$38.00!!! And I thought our $25.00 was high. Why did they go back on what they said? They should have contacted you before it went up to $500.00. That's what my cousin told me to do--change banks. There aren't that many options in a town of < 3,000, tho. And I'd have to change all my info. on my online payments. UGH. So much trouble. I'll just be mad at them. LOL
RouxB:
