At the time I posted the OP their customer service wasn't open. Isn't that what ATOT is for, to come rant about stuff?

In any event, I just called and they said my checking acct. model was very outdated and upgraded me to a free checking account w/ no fees (except for NSF) and $2 refunds for using non-NCB atm machines, similar to kranky's.

Glad to hear you got it worked out. Banks charge people fees like this because people don't complain enough and they can get away with it. You'd be surprised how many millions they can make a year on $1-5 fees.

That, or just change banks.

Ugh, I've had this account for over 10 years, and have my routing and account numbers memorized. I'd have to go to every online bill pay site and change all that info if they have it saved. It's one of those situations like when you have a bad neighbor, sometimes it's easier to just deal with their shit than move.

I'm gonna hit up customer service tomorrow and see what's up.

stop being a lazy SOB. If they are going to nickle and dime you, you need to stand up for yourself. Every major bank offers free checking.

Looks like I need to call in as well. Sounds like they have some new account types. I don't get a two dolla credit for others' atm machines. Nor a free deposit box... tho not sure if I'd use that anyways.
