Why does the Banking Commission allow this? Who are policing these thugs???

Not a problem, as soon as I get this sorted out, I will only use my checking for gas and internet payments. Everything else is cash from now on. $8+$8+$8+$15 = $140 out of account, wait one more last little charge to join the herd, balance-fees = another $35 fee.8,8,8,15,8=$175 in fees. Wow, thanks US Bank. Boy the world has changed. In the old days there would be a crowd of farmers with pitchforks and flaming things to get there fees back. Sick of it peace Still paying US Bank for two weeks now. Not a problem, as soon as I get this sorted out, I will only use my checking for gas and internet payments.

Here are is another new angle the banks have found to bleed people dry: Used to be that transactions were processed Friday night and then not again until Monday night. Well the banks have figured out that they can post any debit transactions you made over the weekend to your account and not post your deposit transactions until Monday night. So... you can put a deposit in the ATM on Saturday and then later that night go out to dinner thinking all is well, only to find out Tuesday morning that they once again they nailed you. What adds insult to injury is that the banks will tell you that consumers want it this way!!! Why can't we come up with a list of banks that don't follow these barbaric practices? Maybe there is a list ? I would sure like to find it. Bank of America SUCKS! Why do we let the banks get away with this? Here are is another new angle the banks have found to bleed people dry:

They make money off of people when they are most down. Then kick them repeatedly. My most recent trouble happened when I changed the date of an automatic withdrawl to pay my mortgage to the 1st of the month. I also had money transferred to savings from my children. Transactions: -616, -60,-60,-60 and a taco stop -8.76 The actual timing of the transactions were 8.76, 60, 60, 60, 616 as the other banks withdrawl came in a midnight batch. while the others were 'pending' And of course I got nailed for 5x34 instead of 34. Wells Fargo now has only my kids savings left and I have closed my home loan and credit card with them. Moved to a local bank. Made sure they don't reorganize the withdrawals and am Happy.
