Got An Email From My Bank....EIEIO

Got an email today from my bank

Telling me

That my overdraft was used.

Called my bank

Told the polite man on the other end of the phone

That I did not have an overdraft

And did not remember authorizing his bank

To take any money

Out of any of my accounts

That his bank so generously opened for me

Four years ago, with no monthly service charges,

As advertised.

I asked the polite man why his bank

All of a sudden

Was charging a service fee,

Pretty much behind my back,

When so many other banks were not?

With confidence, the man politely said

Let me take a look, let's see

Twenty-five dollars was transferred from one account

To cover a monthly service charge on your other account.

I stopped him and said

Didn't you hear me

I don't pay monthly service charges

As advertised, by your bank.

Then, I noticed another fee

For thirty-five dollars

And asked

What is that fee for?

And he said

That fee was for using your overdraft.

Hmmm...

Now, let me get this straight

Your bank took money

Out of one of my accounts

That I rarely use,

To pay for a monthly service fee

That was never disclosed to me,

And then your bank

Charged an outrageous overdraft fee on top of that?

The nice man did not speak.

I continued,

Thieves go to jail

For taking money out of bank accounts

Without permission.

This is so wrong

Especially since your bank just got bailed out

Of an imploding debt with my taxes!

Still no comment from the nice man.

Now, a bit agitated, I told him

I do not have an overdraft

I do not want an overdraft

I do not need an overdraft

And your bank does not have my permission

To ever use an overdraft.

I know it's not your fault, you are just a puppet

But, please, Sir,

Remove the thirty-five dollar fee

Your bank imposed on my account

And put back the twenty-five dollars

Your bank illegally took out of my other account

Immediately.

You can also tell your bank

That this type of behavior

Is exactly the reason

Why this Country

Is so very angry

And will not

Take it

ANYMORE!
