Satan's Bank : Where We Own Your Soul Date Friday, April 19, 2024 - 02:32 AM PST Topic Experiences Ok. After reading Shade and Callei's dilemma with the DSL people I decided to let in my own little juicy tidbit of how much people that work in buisnesses (especially banks) suck major ass. Yesterday for me was my "monthly" payday. My grandmother gives me cash for staying with her and being her silent companion (note these are the ones that raised me and not the ones I despise). 200 dollars. I thought "cool now I can pay off whatever debts I had". That was mistake number one for me. In trying to cash her SSI check we went to 3 gas stations, and two stores who were all filled with assholes who wouldn't cash it because they wanted her driver's liscence. My grammy doesn't drive. I told them in all niceness "screw you" and left to my bank. There I spent about five minutes waiting on a teller. I went and explained the situation and for "just this once" they cashed it for me.... I was happy and gave grandma her money and put mine in my account. When I got the stub back telling how much I had left in my account it said I only had 81.63. Now that's funny. If you have no overdrafts (and I'm very careful about that) how can they hold 118 some odd dollars from you? I asked about it and they referred me to one of the higher ups. I talked to her about it and she confirmed they fucked up. Saying that the transactions I was being charged for were supposedly overdrafts that weren't supposed to be, since I had enough money to pay for every single one of them. I calmly asked that the situation be fixed and told her if it was because there was a charge for 199 from some credit company I had placed a stop payment on it a long time ago. She assured me it wasn't that and that she knew I had placed a stop payment on it and was nice enough to confirm that I shouldn't have to worry about it. Now. I got the 75 dollars they were charging me back and supposedly it was to show up in my account on tuesday. I thought "fine, ok, that's cool. Life is good". 35 dollars for any fees kept is better than 118. So I go from my bank and wait a while. Check my account and lo and behold I see in red "You do not have a loan or account to withdraw funds from" and in my "Balance Available" slot I see a NEGATIVE of 215.37. My jaw hit the floor. My heart stopped and my rage hit the roof. I'm normally a calm person. But when you only make 148 dollars working a desk job that pays 6 an hour for only 20 hours a week (since you're not allowed to have any more while working on college campus) 215 is a big deal. I ranted and raved to anyone that would listen and they all agreed that I should bitch at the bank for it. Which I intend to do. After all. If one person says "Its all good!" and another says "You can't do that" who do you believe? I was told by two people I had a positive balance of 81.63 in my account. I believed them. My online balance states I have 81.63 there. So where the hell did the negative of 215.37 come from? Tell me something. Should I kill them now? Or wait until they die and laugh at them from purgetory?
