On Monday the 25th of January I checked my checking account to see how my charges for the weekend did, and I knew I was close to being overdrawn, so I took money out of my savings and put it in my checking. Everything cleared. On Tuesday the 26th I looked again and saw I was overdrawn with a payment of $90 to my school loan that I had forgotten about. So I took out a $200 check advance to cover that and another insurance payment that I knew was about to hit. I thought I might get hit for the school payment one time.
The next day, Wednesday, I checked again and to my horror discovered all my advance was gone and I had been hit with 5 overdrafts at $37.50 apiece. That is a lot of money to me!!! So I called my friendly bank manager, Jeremy, and asked what was going on. He said that there was nothing he could do and that it was my fault that I did not watch my account. They had gone back and taken my school loan payment out first, and then the small charges I had been cleared of on Monday were all now overdrawn. Instead of the one charge, it became 5.
I told Jeremy he might as well have stuck a gun to my head and taken my wallet! That he might as well just pull the trigger and blow me away! I am having enough trouble with everything else. I do not need my bank to rip me off blind too!!!
