New consumer-friendly reform Government pushed down your throat. And do the banks never hate! No longer are they going to be able to sign you Overdraft protection without your permission and charge you overdraft $ 35 every time you spend more than what you have in your bank with your debit card or cheque. These taxes hit for more than just two dollars. They actually make billions of dollars, so each year on their backs crowd paycheck to paycheck. Some of these families actually pay in excess of $ 1000 every year just for going overboard several times every year while two dollars. If a bank client can't manage a very simple current account (or accounts savings bank with a debit card for the occasion), and make sure they don't go, of course, this is not the Bank's fault, I know that?
Judge Alsup 's, in the case of Calfornia benchmark called it an unfair trade practice earlier this year in August against Wells Fargo. The Bank did it pretty much standard practice throughout the country. Let's say you have $ 100 in your account, and you spend $ 10 for small purchases three times a day. Are you sure you now have $ 70 left; You need to buy $ 90 coffee machine. You understand that you will need a monthly $ 20; You feel that may be worth it because you really need to buy a gift for the wedding. When you get your application the following month, you see that you were charged for overdraft fee of $ 35 more than once, you'd expect, but twice. That's because Bank changes your purchases so that $ 90 coffee machine comes first, and three of 10 $ to come later. This is what the judge said he found objectionable. Wells Fargo and that a particular claim were forced to return more than 200 million dollars collected from these kinds of cunning deception.
All banks are going to find a way to deceive you sign up for their fraudulent practices again. Consultants tell them this is just one of five checking account holders (or rarely, a savings bank account holders), in the country on a regular basis with their careless. They are the most profitable accounts for banks to deal with. So the banks simply ignore everything else and somehow get these people voluntarily sign up to get robbed again. Banks put sellers next ATMs to get people to sign up. They call them by offering them cash bonuses – everything they possibly can do to dissuade them from their protection.
Thus, the next time you come to the ATM or you get a phone call from a bank asking you why you would put yourself in a situation where you could get awkward at the restaurant, not having enough money on your debit cardtell them that you are happy to be embarrassed. It is much better than getting robbed blind three times a day if you want real overdraft protection, ask them to link the account to your savings account. That'll teach them.
