bank 1 is screwed up
So, you know, you can have your bank send out checks to pay your monthly bills automatically, right?
Well, I do that for cable, electric, and rent. And it has served me very well. BUT, in March, they changed their policy, and I almost didnt notice.
Until this month.
I am still -$250. Why, you might ask? Because they changed the way it works. They take the money out now, before it's due, in order to guarantee to your bill collectors that the check won't bounce. So, I started this morning at -$750, and moved money to cover it... at least a little.
So now, every other one of my debit transactions will bounce. FUCK YOU BANK 1.
It doesnt matter if the places I pay monthly cashed the check or not, the money is gone, and therefore, my account is negative (and I'll get charged for that, daily), and $30 for every item over the amount, plus $30 for every item from the banks of everyone it's bouncing to. FUCK YOU BANK 1.
"Changing the way you do business" indeed.
Fuck you. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.

The "funnest" experience I've had with my bank lately was two Saturdays ago. Actually Sunday. It was somewhere between 12 and 1 a.m. and I was trying to use my check card. And it kept getting declined. I knew I had money in my account, at least I thought I did. I called the banking hotline and was informed that to better serve me they were upgrading their mainframes and that all account services would be offline until 7 a.m. And the only number they could be reached at was only for lost or stolen cards. Yeah, midnight on a Saturday night, with no advance notice is a great time to upgrade your systems. "To better serve" me.
