| How is this crap even remotely legal?? I read stories like this on BBR with distressing frequency and think to myself "Gdamn that's a rip off, how do these companies get away with it??".
I want to know how anyone in a position to stop abuses like this from occurring either can't see or doesn't care whats happening to the little people (i.e. you and me).
It's no better out here on the West Coast in California with Comcrap which makes me dread the day when and if AT&T ever decides to end the DSL service in my area.
It just boggles my mind the unhidden greed that's plain to see if one connects the dots and they are so openly brazen about doing it.. |

| Companies have started to do this in all industries. Remember the banks? Many of them have started charging a teller fee. Gas and electric Utilities... They do it in many places too. It's something that has been overlooked and is spreading as the managers from one industry slowly infect other industries they enter. Greed. Get as much money out of people as you can. It doesn't matter what is right, or honorable, or good. Just what can be argued to be legal or illegal. |

I think Banks are where all this fee nonsense started. They are the biggest crooks going when it comes to fees. Not only are they outrageous but they deliberately handle their customers accounts in ways designed to maximize the banks' fees. What ever happenned to fiduciary responsibility? We have to vote with our business whenever we can, which is why I use a credit union instead of a bank. |

kudos:5 | But what if you make a large payment, like a car or mortgage payment. Would you want a $1.00 soda to make that check bounce? Banks process transactions in order largest to smallest for your protection!

| That line of baloney is what the banks will tell you, but isn't it convenient that they can earn multiple fees by doing that instead of only one? And frankly, yes, I would prefer the mortgage or the car payment to bounce and have one mess to clean up rather than having to deal with multiple annoyed creditors and multiple fees from both the bank and the creditor. |
