Except that when you have a written document you signed explicitly stating that the account is a no-fees account. It’s one thing charge fees with the customer knowing.
It’s completey different for a business to state no-fees and then “accidentally” charge fees to see if the customer notices and goes through the process of disputing them.
Doesn’t seem like these banks use to do these games.
Haven’t we spent a good percentage of the last year talking about bank insolvency? When the govt is willing to tax the ever living fuck out of your kids and your parents to pay for its profligacy, it hardly seems unreasonable for banks to charge a little something extra.
Written documents are for suckers! Contracts are for suckers(ask a short seller)! Those who aren’t that well connected anyway. I’m shocked flu that you of all people would exhibit such faux surprise. You’ve been around this board long enough to see the fraud evolve. You are the mark, expect it get over it, adjust in your banking business model and move on. Either that or goto cash like I’m doing.

Actually, I’m not a subscriber to the sky is completely fallen. BUT, to your point, i would think in this economy that in order for businesses to survive, that they would be working on customer service to retain customers.
Contracts are good if you have you decide to pursue things the legal route, depending on whether it’s worth your time and money. And frankly, I’m one of those people who would sue someone over $20 in small claims even though court fees would be a lot more than the claim, especially if I’m being ripped off intentionally. Usually, I’m a pretty easy going customer, but in the past I have also been the customer from hell. And I do argue over dollars and cents.
Anyway, I have a pretty good feeling about US Bank…Sort of moonlighting with them right now.
