BB&T - Branch Banking & Trust When you are undergoing financial hardships and looking for help, there are there to kick you where you are down... Carolina Beach, North Carolina

If you are serious and for some strange reason looking for sympathy for having to sell your boat during your "financial hardship", that is probably going to be hard to find.  Especially from people who are just struggling with 2-3 jobs to try and keep their house.

Better yet if your complaint is overdrafting.  If you are actually stating you are a CFA(Certified Financial Analyst), you if anybody should understand the importance of keeping a register and managing your account.  Which as a CFA probably realize that a lack of doing that is a primary cause of overdrafts in the first place.  In addition you should also know that a checking account is NOT a line of credit,  so if you overdraft you are going to get hit with fees.  Which as a CFA you know they are in the terms of the account. 

Bob,

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.  You said someone who sells a boat does not have a financial hardship.  That was six years ago.  I had the money then, and now, like many, many others I am broke.  Does that make you feel better.  My point was simply that they give a crap about you, and in-turn themselves when you have money, and dont if you dont.  It was just an example of being on both sides of the fence.  Sorry, I left the time differential out of my example.

CFA is a Chartered Financial Analyst.  And, Bob, dont I just get to express my opinion once in a while without being chastized.  They dont like me and I dont like them.

Thanks Bob.

Its not just me.  They just screwed my neighbor out of 300 bux.
