FED: "Banks Need Customer Consent on Overdraft Fees"

[Sammich]

I think is dumb either way.. people should always know how much they have in their accounts.. Blaming the banks is silly though.. even though the fees are crazy..

You overdraft.. your fault.

I AGREE, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS DONT GO THROUGH WHEN YOU THINK THEY DO/SHOULD, YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IS OUT OF WACK AND YOU GET PENALIZED FOR A MISTAKE. I KNOW THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I SWIPED MY BANK CARD KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY ON IT, BUT THOSE WERE TIMES WHEN I NEEDED A FULL TANK OF GAS AND I HAD NO PROBLEM FOOTING THE BILL FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS, SOMETHING I NEEDED.

BUT TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE, PERIOD, OVERDRAFT PROTECTION FTMFW.

AS FAR AS THIS BILL THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS, I'M ALL FOR IT
