Re: Overdrafted Checking Account
You can survive out of Walmart if it has a grocery, on plastic. I've done it. Not saying I recommend it. Didn't say 'live'. But you can survive.

[/ QUOTE ] I can open up a normal credit card with my bank, and if I ever overdraft, rather than get declined/bounce checks etc, it auto charges my CC. I chose not too, because the interest rate is stupid, and I never intend on overdrafting again. |

Re: Overdrafted Checking Account
[ QUOTE ]
Over Thanksgiving weekend I had the pleasure of having my car towed for an unexpected $150 charge. Because I'm really smart and have all my money online, I overdrew from my bank account and my current balance is $-2.24. So the question is this. Should I go out today and charge more stuff to my credit card and go even further into the red? Is this a good idea? I really want some sushi, and as things stand I have zero money, zero gas, and zero food. So my card is my only hope for survival. Or perhaps I will go hungry today. Weird. I hope you find my predicament as hilarious as I do. fwiw, two cashouts should hit Monday morning, so it's not like I'll be in the red for more than even a day. [/ QUOTE ] IMO, if they try to charge you for going overdrawn, then do what I do when it has happened to me... I assume that its a rare thing for you to go overdrawn...it certainly is for me...So if they threaten you with a bank charge...Tell them that you will level the account and then close it down.....Trust me, with so many banks out there, they won't want to lose your custom over being $2 in the red....or over a $35 fee.... Combine this with the fact that you have two cash-outs hitting the account on Monday and that it was a B/Holiday weekend over there in the US...I think if u argue your point to a tiny degree they will waive the fee... |

Re: Overdrafted Checking Account
Thanks to a misunderstanding on my part, and a credit taking two days longer than it should have on the banks' part, I once made something in the area of 20 charges on a debit card within 48 hours. It was overdrawn from the start, I expected it to be fine, and the debit card didn't start rejecting purchases until much later, for whatever reason.
When it finally did get rejected, I went to the bank, confused as hell. I was presented with a bill of over $500 for overdraw fees. Since it was "[my] first time," the bank only took about $90 in fees, waiving the rest, and I learned a lesson. Get a credit card, put everything on it, and write one check a month. |
