Mine warns you about the pending overdraft and if you get enough funds in that day they charge a penny. When I was with BoA I found that not only did they charge a large fee for each overdraft, they made sure to pull out the largest amount first to try and make smaller charges also have their own fee tacked on. Now in relation to this article, how traumatic is such an action to someone living paycheck to paycheck?
But hey, some might say just have to earn more to avoid that. They aren't wrong...
Re: the transaction ordering stuff: I thought the CFPB outlawed that ages ago? Or did they roll that back in the Trump years?
This was years ago, before Trump. Maybe something changed after I had left. There's no way it was coincidence of what I saw happen a few times.
