Re: WTF Wednesday
I have such a large rant...I'm not even going to bombared our WTF post with it!!!
See UGH!! - Coming Soon...like, as soon as I get done with this...
But, WTF is wrong with some people??????
First off, the Nest site is acting nutty for me today - it just cut off and posted my comments before I was finished...but any who...
I was saying that our local paper ran a story on just this a few days ago. Seems that since a lot of the reform laws were enacted to prohibit them from hitting us with so many fees, that they were retaliating by eliminating "free" checking and such to try to get what charges they can. It's a racket, for sure! A piece of the article:
Changes to credit-card law are also denting banking profits.
The most obvious source of new revenue is account maintenance fees. Bank of America, metro Baltimore's No. 1 bank in deposits, is testing products in other states that include basic checking and savings with a fee of up to $9 a month. Avoiding the fee requires high balances, buying other products from the bank or conducting business on the Internet and through ATMs instead of with tellers.
Expect something similar in Maryland from Bank of America later this year.
BB&T, metro Baltimore's No. 5 bank, is "rolling out our updated deposit lineup in the next few months," said spokeswoman Merrie Tolbert. She assured that even after the change it will be "easy for clients to avoid paying maintenance fees."
Details aren't out yet, but since BB&T CEO Kelly King told financial analysts last month that "the days of free checking are gone," BB&T customers might want to be on the lookout.
Wells Fargo/Wachovia, metro Baltimore's No. 4 bank, will stop offering Wachovia's free checking deal when it switches over to the Wells Fargo name this year, said spokeswoman Worsley. Basic checking will cost $5 a month, she said, but you can avoid the charge with a high balance, by having your paycheck deposited electronically or by doing other business with the bank.
Or you can switch institutions. M&T and PNC banks still have free checking with no minimum balance. So does 1st Mariner Bank, the largest Baltimore-based consumer banking company. Numerous smaller, community banks also have free checking and are likely to offer it for the foreseeable future
Argghhh!!! It did exactly what I was afraid of
Now, all of my Nestie thingy's are gone...grrrr!! Now I have to back track to try to find them again *@#%!!!
Post-Wedding Life Blog!
A10 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination: San Francisco!
I'm having the same problem. Everytime I try to update my siggy, it makes me log back in, shows my info from the Knot, and when I try to update it, my siggy doesn't change. Plus it shows that my avatar is correct, but no avatar shows in my posts. I sent the Nest an email about the issues and got a standard "we are looking into it" reply back.
The Nest IT department is awful!
I don't have a good WTF today. I forgot to put on earrings today and I feel naked without them, so I'll go with that.
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
