Just so damned inconvenient. I could see them sending it to Telecheck if it came back twice...but not once! Or even if you have a history of bouncing checks, which we don't have.

You do now.

same here.... i wish i could find a check card that knew when i had no money in my account.

dump your bank, get a credit union.
and get a debit card.

Want to talk to me about paying your fees ext? I have a direct line. (407) 338-0036

For all of you complaining about tele-check. SHUT UP. If you didnt bounce checks you wouldnt have to deal with us. Don't buy things you cant afford. I had never heard of telecheck before i started working here and thats because i can manage my money. Thank you for keeping us in business all you morons who cant balance a checkbook and/or show will power.

I agree except for the rudeness of saying to shut up.
but then again, I don't bounce checks either.
so piss and moan, you screwed the pooch when you overdrafted.

btw.. I can't balance my checkbook.. but I can afford to have someone do it for me

Who is going to be first to call? 

Since no one addressed this originally, I'm going to make lemonade out of samantha674's lemons, i.b.t.l. (I hope).

We never seem to get off of work in time to make it to the bank, so we'll have no food until Saturday, probably. We don't use the debit card because it was screwing us up...(would forget to deduct the transaction) not to mention that you have to take out a minimium of $20.

Bounced checks suck.

Find a bank that has a night deposit drop box, and/or accepts atm deposit. You'll have to use your debit cardfor the last option, but it's for putting money in, and your account is credited immediately (anyway my bank does) - a good thing.

I have my paycheck direct deposited (a home office, but an accounting office, so the boss 'gets' electronnic payments), but anything else I usually use the atm for deposits. If you are leery, try it during banking hours, then go into the bank and ask if it went through without a hitch.
What happens is the atm credits your account when you make the transaction, then the human tellers check the atm machine a couple times a day and process them at the end of the day.

If the atm is down for some reason, I just drop it in the night deposit.

Hmm.. to whom do we report our dear Samantha for harassment? I don't appreciate having a year old thread being brought back to life and being called an idiot in the process. Besides, telling people to shut up clearly makes her the fool, not us.

Besides, isn't it against board policy or something to post phone numbers that don't belong to you?

There's been a couple good posts made since this was brought back to life, but i'm still closing it.

Samantha, if you want to rant about people that can't manage their money, start a new thread, but i'd do it a little more tactfully.
