I'm getting kind of sick and tired of always getting fucked over!!! That's right! I'm goin' there! This incident happened with a bank and our apartment's leasing office.

We had sent our rent check in at the beginning of the month, like always. We discovered a few days ago, however that we were short and the bank sent the check back. Guess how much we were short by? Go ahead. Guess. Forty-five cents. Yes, that's right. FOURTY. FIVE.CENTS. $0.45. Zero point four five cents. Now beforehand, they'd still send the check though, even if we were off by more than that. Not this time!! And then, to make matters worse, our leasing office charged us $140 for a returned check fee. Now we have to pay $1012.50.


*HEADDESK*

That's it. I'm looking for another place to live. I saw just today, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath HOUSE for $750! That's over a hundred dollars less than what we're paying now for a cramped 2 bedroom one bath apartment. Our lease is up in May and we have to give them a 60 day notice, so we have at least until February/March to find something else. With the housing market the way it is, it shouldn't be too hard. I highly doubt things will change within the next few months.


*STABBITY*

I KNOW!!! We leased our apartment originally when the housing market was crap and everything was hella high. They increase it by increments every time we sign a new lease. It's criminal...

Holy crap. :( That is beyond shitty. $140 for a bounced check?? And that's not even your bank charge? That's nuts! I would definitely look into overdraft protection - I need to make a note to myself to look into that too! It sounds like a good idea to find another place to live. Good luck in your hunt! *hugs*

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt talking to the bank - you might talk to someone sympathetic. Good luck!

It wasn't MY bank, but mom's. It still sucks. She's going to withdraw her money from them after a few things get paid off. Other people have had sucky experiences with them before.

Yeah, with the housing market the way it is now, it should be easier to find a cheaper place to live than where we do now. A house even.

Are you shitting me? $0.45? My freaking goodness! *sigh* Yes, look into another place to stay A.S.A.P. You're entitled to be angry.

Oh, how I wish I was. Not only that, but the bank charged six dollars as a fee for cutting the damn cashier's check!!! Insane!!


ARGH!
