The next morning, I go to make the deposit and my account is WAY overdrawn, I couldn't understand at first, but soon realized that they had cashed her post-dated check that had been written by me and the money wasn't even there at all! I called them and raised hell because this turn of events was going to ruin my life, I was simply told : "Well, sir that's just part of our customer courtesey program"
Please someone tell me how it's a courtesy (for me) when they cash a check before the date on insufficient funds! Then charge me 30.00+ dollars for each item that subsequently bounces! I don't know about you all, but I have NEVER been able to cash a post dated check on an account that didn't have the funds!
My account ballooned to negative 3 or $400.00 as they continued to charge me each day. I had told them to cancel and close the account, they simply would not until it was paid...I told them after hearing their total indifference, " Here's my customer courtesey! "I will NOT pay for this, and you can stick YOUR customer courtesey program up your a$$!"
This incident ruined my life for years and I have just now been able to establish POOR credit, and a bank account.... Huntington is the crappiest bank in the world and I don't know how they get away with ripping people off for hundreds of dollars... This is still on my credit report to this day!

I'm rebuilding my credit slowly but surely, but in my opinion they should have rejected the check but then they wouldn't have made 3 or $400.00........That way it wouldn't have wrecked my life...but either way, it was my fault for trusting the apartment manager or the bank , when she knew that I was simply helping my insignificant other, also strange that she didn't just deposit the check like most normal people do.......anyway, things are much better now...just thought I would share my story so that others don't make the same costly mistake as I did...

Lesson learned -- an expensive one albeit. Never play hard ball with a bank. You'll lose every time, and unless you're ok with bad credit and no checking accounts, you'll be miserable (as you learned) for a very long time. It's the sad state of affairs today.
