I posted a ~$3k check on the friday before memorial day. They didn't post it in time, so it didn't get credited until the next Tuesday. No big deal, I thought, except the holiday sure didn't stop them from clearing one check on Saturday and FOUR on Monday, memorial day. Five bounced checks times $29 each meant I had almost $150 in overdraft fees, plus the negative balance from all the checks made for quite an ugly balance statement. Luckily, the power of the angry customer is strong, and a few well-placed phone calls got 4 of the 5 fines wiped out.



actually i use 5/3. like i said, mom is a loan officer in their downtown offices, so a few calls and all was well. i am now on a first name basis with the branch manager at my local branch. talked for about 20 mins about cars. turns out he owned a car identical to mine (well, minus all the mods lol) a couple years ago. so i popped the hood, talked for a bit, looked over his car (2005 Acura TL) and he told me about his other car at home, the new G35 (286hp/6 speed). it was a good time. oh, and no fees lol.
