Money for Nothing
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 1:29 am
You may recall I got a new job recently. It takes a couple of weeks to work and earn your first paycheck. In the meantime, I was not as careful as I thought with mu bank account.
I was overdrawn by 57 cents. This caused an overdraft fee of 37 dollars. Since I still have not received a paycheck, it resulted in a "not having any money" fee of 12 dollars. Three days later, another 12 dollar fee came in for not paying the previous fees.
So my bank just made 61 dollars because I was 57 cents short on the last purchase I made.
Even though it is in their policy, in print, in black and white, and I signed up for all this, it still seems almost criminal to charge fees a hundred times over the amount I was short.
