I know that banks charge big fees & such for bounced checks, overdraft fees, paying the largest check 1st & bounce the other 3, some even charge per week for being overdrawn. But when do we turn to ourselves & say "I have a lot of control over the fees I am charged". If you have $50 in account, write 4 checks for $100 each & get mad we got $30 fees X 4?
I work for a credit union & make no excuse for kicking someone when down! But come on! There are errors on the banks & publics side but Im talking about the regular everyday stuff. People who overdraft 10-15X/month, live off the o/d loans, use other ATMs 2X/day & get fee of $4 to get $20!
And I know that $30 is a high fee for o/d by $2. But it is called a penalty for a reason! It is to discourage the use of. Do you think it really costs a city $30 b/c you didnt put a dime in the meter? No, its to teach a lesson for next time to be careful. Just like credit cards, folks complain about late & over limit & still charge any way!
