That is usually handled by the Federal Reserve, and most of the fees have been accepted as legal by them. Heck even the debit/credit posting first and the largest-first processing is considered legal!

But think about this for a moment: Would you work for free? Because that is basically what a bank would be doing if it cashed a check at the counter for someone who isn't their customer.

If you want full service banking you'll have to pay for it, but customers requested free checking, so the industry complied. My company still pays for banking services, which is partially offset by the deposits/etc we make. But it's a better way to see what exactly it really does cost to have a bank account.

"p.s. before chloe or anonymous 0364 post your $.02 rebuttal ,i already know theres nothing i can do,i do know that if you two bums work for a bank ,where the hells your conscience?it would kill me to see people getting scammed out of money all day long!all i can hope is that theses scumbags are getting reamed right now on this economy and loan/housing crisis.gee i guess you can find positive things in even the worst situations"

Aww, that was certainly nice of you to think of me, considering I haven't posted here in months! Must make a great impression around here. haha.

Well, let's start with conscience, why don't we? Are you implying my conscience should bother me or something because people spend more money than they have? They're the ones who need to worry about their conscience, as they are the ones STEALING from the bank. But, does the bank press charges? Oh, no, they slap them with a few fees. Which brings me to conclude that perhaps the bank fees are simply not high enough. I mean, they are certainly causing lots of whining (which undoubtedly makes for an interesting bed time read), but no actual check book balancing. How high do those fees have to be for you all to bust out your registers?? $50/pop? $100?

Now, I would love to explore your assumption of us "bums". I can't speak for anonymous, but I can judge by your ramblings here that you have never heard of a shift key or one of those dots or squiggly things we refer to as "punctuation". Oh, and if you are so emotional about people being "scammed", then maybe you should teach all your fellow bums a thing or 2 about basic math. Something along the lines of $2 - $3 = NEGATIVE!! FEES!! See? It's easy! Just follow this basic formula EVERY TIME you are shopping, and no more fees!! That's how ya stick it to them 'big bad banks'.

And the best for last. I am so sorry to disappoint your wish for me getting reamed! Fortunately, I do not work with loans, or customers for that matter. But, since we're on that topic, I am also not stupid enough to buy a house I can't afford even though "I am approved!"

As fun as this is, my homework awaits. 'Til next time!
