My bank accounts were purchased from a small local bank by the bloodsucking asshats at Chase Manhattan. I had overdraft protection tied to my savings account and transfers were free. Shortly after taking over my local bank Chase started to charge fees for all kinds of things, including transferring my money from my savings to cover the occasional overdraft in my checking account. I never agreed to this in any way. They would credit the fees back upon request but recently discontinued this.
I also had a credit card with them for a while.
I ran the balance up until it was within $30.00 of the limit and they charged a $35.00 over the limit fee to push it over. They refused to refund this fee as well. It appears to be common practice now. I have transfered my balance to a credit card from my Credit Union. It has a fixed rate that does not creep up as the old card did and no fees.
I moved everything else to a credit union as well and suggest everyone else do the same. I have paid my last fee to a greedy bank.
