BB&T
Held Checks Until Bounce, Then $35 Fee Over 50 Cents

I know exactly what the first report on BB & T was all about. I don't think she meant she was getting charged for every check. I think she meant exactly what is happening to us. We are getting ripped off by BB&T Bank!

I finally saw this after watching our accounts closely for 3 months. They hold your checks, debit purchases, and anything they can until right the day it bounces. In other words, they are holding our checks and debit purchases until the day they know we will go in the hole.

The fees on their covering the checks? How is it humanly possible to charge my husband $35 over fifty cents? Yes, that's right, over fifty cents, no dollars, just fifty cents.

I finally caught on that every time they wanted to finally post our checks, it was when it would cause us to have no money left. We get charged monthly over all of this mess and are now switching banks. We aren't the only ones. You wouldn't believe the research I've done and the people I have spoken with who have said the same thing. And what about our information papers, such as our bank account numbers, home address, phone number, and Social Security numbers, getting "found" because they didn't shred our documents like they were supposed to?

Get out of BB&T if you still have any money left, and if you don't have any money left, that's even more reason.

Thanks
