The Scandal of Overdraft Fees

i think the point is - if you have one overdraft on a small account that you use for lunch, gas etc it could pound you perpetually before you see that your deposit was held up and now you have a train wreck that the fees suck up all your other deposits and creates more fees...

yes you need to keep a grand cushion - and that is the point - most people do not have that cushion and are getting raped

BAC screwed one of my accounts with some quirky billpay behavior but i was able to talk my way out of the whole wreck and only pay one... i threatened to stop paying my mortgage with them and wouldn't stop yellin at them.. they usually listen at that point

maybe they got a boost form Linen& things going under?

just a hunch.. and their liberal use of the 20% coupon is brilliant for their cost structure
