I complained about some bank fee once at an S&L and the nice person went back as many months as the computer would let them and gave me back my $3.50 x 18 or something.
If you can, opt OUT of 'overdraft coverage' immediately. This will make sure that transactions that would overdraft your account are not permitted and you don't get charged fees
Yeah I did that at my job. I found that a customer was paying for a service she should have gotten for free. Looked back and saw she's been overcharged for like 2 years and put the notes on the account put in for a check of 500$ for them, Managers didn't want to give it to her saying we could only credit the last 3 months. I said well I've already told her I'm giving the money back and I' not supporting Fraud and if she sues I'll testify and her discovery team will find more fraudulent accounts.
I’ve had that once or twice. Mastercard gave me money back after they charged interest on a zero balance. I got an additional sum back after a class action suit. They really do just charge interest because they feel like it.
Imagine a world where you give an institution most if not all your money for free, and then having to pay extra money just for them to hold onto it, and then even more money just to take it back. Society is a corrupt fucking joke
Bank of America illegally stole money from my account with their shitty $12 or $15 maintenance fee. Called them the next day and tore into them. Turns out I wasn’t “grandfathered” into free checking because my account was too new. Guy reversed the charge as a “one time thing” where I went and sucked my account dry then closed it. Haven’t been back since and hope their HQ goes up in flames and no one survives
I've been reading Terry's books since Light Fantastic came out. Then as the books came thick and fast I lost track of them, now catching back up and what a joy it's been.
People who work like 12 hour days or more and literally are too tired to make their own food so they'd rather spend more money on fast food to keep some semblance of time to themselves before sleeping.
Frankie Boyle, warning... He can be a bit of an acquired taste with a lot of his content, and has landed in hot water quite a few times. He used to be extremely popular for his outspoken views, but he often went too far for a lot of people. I would advise a trip to a dermatologist first, and check the thickness of your skin before diving into Frankies world.

I recently dug through my old books to find my old Terry Pratchett books. Probably gonna start back on those next!

They should just know better than to be poor! /S
Fallser
Yeah! And they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps! (…and of course ignore the fact that that’s physical impossible)
BeaverOnFire
Well if they just stop being poor it would be possible. / S
