Sure, Just give it to us! 1 trillion? psht, now its 1.7 Trillion! -- Posted by Lulamae at 12:04 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 8:50 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Starbucks will probably go out of business soon because everyone is trying to save money and what's the first thing you cut out? $3 in coffee.   Soon we'll look out how our lives were before this as "the good old days."

"sir when you withdrew that money from the ATM it TOLD you you lacked the funds and we'd charge an overdraft and you authorized it. Then you did that three more times and then filled up your gas and bought this and that." "thank you sir and since we both agree it is bank error I want my fees reversed." "sir I just explained it's not bank error" "I feel like you' re insulting my intelligence can I speak to your supervisor or manager?" 30 minutes later 1000 dollars of fees are reversed and this is on a regular basis. Wells Fargo won't fail in this crisis, either. Fuck yes. If I were in Washington mutual I would withdraw all my money from all my accounts asap. I would then overdraft a shitload intentionally. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:38 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Why can't the world run on honesty and hard work -- Posted by medjai at 12:44 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 That IS work sometimes it takes over an hour to pull that off especially when I say. "in all my tIme as a customer I've only overdrawn this time and you should reverse them as a courtesy, I average over 2000.00 in my account too." "actually sir looking at your records you have a bigger and more frequent overdraft history than anyone I've ever seen and the only reason your checking account doesn't average a NEGATIVE balance is because you apparently have never once paid an overdraft fee and have always had them reversed" "that's exactly why I'm calling today!" -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:47 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 But it's not honesty. -- Posted by medjai at 1:13 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 They aren't honest either though, charging me 997 dollars in overdraft fees because I bought thirty five dollar or less items that capped my account is fucking injustice. -- Posted by holysaiyan1 at 12:49 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 Quote: from medjai at 3:29 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 I'm with wells fargo because when I have thirty overdraft fees at once like I commonly do their customer service is easy to manipulate into reversing all of them as long as I "don't understand" how it's not their fault that I made thirty transactions while I had no money in my checking account.

Bank fraud much? If I were in Washington mutual I would withdraw all my money from all my accounts asap. Hooray for bank runs!  Why, banks don't need to have liquidity in order to run.  Screw the economy, we should induce as much market paranoia as possible!  Lots of good things happen when people withdraw their money from banks and hide it under the pillow. Finance is hard, let's screw the "man" over and revel in the resulting financial troubles.  Boo capitalism, yay anarchy!
