thehefnerSo my mom went all the way up to the Shady Grove branch of BB&T to pay off the debt and to close my account. While there, she discovered just why the bank hadn't bothered to call me up and/or cancel my card when I started overdrawing from my account like they did last time- apparantly the bank at some point instituted a new policy that they would let the idiots who overdraw their account keep doing so for 45 days before they stopped them. Think about that. 45 days.
Furious over this scam, my mother told them to close out her account as well. As well as Dama's account. As well as our mortgage. All of which added up to around $80,000. The teller said, "Uh... this is a lot of money to be taking out of our bank. Why don't you go talk to your home branch and see if we can't work something out."
Fuck yeah, Mom.
She said her plan is she'll only keep all her money there if they give me at least $400 back, otherwise she's taking it all elsewhere.
A funny note: I'm working at the comic shop now, and while I was telling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gore_whore_5 about this over the phone, a guy in the store piped up "I know what you're talking about, man! BB&T just did the exact same thing to me! They charged me $1,000 and I couldn't get a house because my credit's now ruined!" Glad to know I'm not the only one being fucked over here. My Dad's lawyer suggested I bring this before the US banking commission. We'll see. I'd hate to make an ass out of myself even more than I already have.
I tell you, though. Few things make me feel better than someone genuinely interested to hear me talk about comics. And while it's not necessary, said someone being a pretty girl is a nice perk.
