National City Bank / PNC Bank after receiving billions of taxpayer dollars just like the rest of the bank industry has -is inventing a new way to screw you. That is when you make a deposit whether by cash or payroll check they hold it forever and ensure they get as much overdraft fees charged to you.
Here is my case - On 13 Feb. 2009 I deposited my entire manual paycheck from the State of Ohio in my Checking account. As any reasonable and prudent person would believe and ascertain the money would cover all funds to be posted over the weekend-and should be effective in my account. When I got up to go to work Sat. 14 Feb at 0530 the ATM said I was in the negative. I had to scramble to find enough money to pay for gas fill up my tank and get to work at London, Ohio by 0710. Due to the banks being closed when I got off I then called Customer No Service who then promptly told me that it was bank policy to withold deposits until the next business day-although they can debit any day.
I then on Monday 16 Feb. had to go into the London, Ohio branch and speak to their account managers - The old woman had enough audacity to state that the check that the State of Ohio had put my name on which is my money - earned keeping the citizens of ohio safe from bands of marauding criminals-wasn't my money but theirs and she wouldn't help me-especially if I Have had any overdrafts on my account before. I got asistance after making the statement-Do you know about Clark Howard's Radio show-that exposes rip off companies scams and mega banks just like you - if you don't get someone who will do it I will put this on the airways so that millions of people can hear. The Bank manager came down shortly and took care of the fees.
Fast forward to 27 Feb. I deposit $1,180 dollars cash into the ATM Deposit-since they don't have a deposit box. It did not post till Tuesday 3 March- They charged me 8 I say again 8 overdraft fees @ $36.00 each for a total of $288.00. Thats how much they robbed me. I found out last night which was 2 march that all deposits are held till the next day. They had the money for 3 days and did not credit my account with it. I had to speak with one the bellefontaine bank officers-and the gave me back (aren't they kind) 3 of the overdraft fees-but had to refer 5 other fees all related to their failure to credit my account.
And we wonder why we have a banking crisis - the constant unethical, dishonest and fraudulent practices of the corporations, small businesses and private persons - who then stick a hand out and expect the taxpayer regardless of amount paid to fork over more money to enable their criminal activities ok'd by law.
That's not the united states i defended and reflected in iraq for 20 months.- may god judge this nation with a heavy hand and may he spare no mercy when his wrath is incurred - you have been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting
