leasing is the only smart car option in my opinion.

Thanx man we got it sorted out now. I should have the title in about 2 weeks. Funny you should mention that. My bank that I have my checking account at was a credit union when I first started using them 15 years ago. About 5 years ago they voted to become a bank...and let me tell you. I was constantly having NSF fees in excessive amounts for things that were my fault, but they were really sneaky about how they did things. I know there are probably not many people who have not overdrawn there account at least once. You know you lose a reciept or forget that today is the day they automatically withdraw a bill or make a subtracting error when balancing. I had a payment go through that I was not aware of. You would think that when I tried to use the debt card again it would deny it, right? No they would let it go through and every time it ran through I was charged $36 plus a $5 negative account fee. They do not notify you that your funds are negative until 2 days later by mail. I check my account EVERY day either by phone or internet. (this is the only way I found this and immediatly went to the bank and gave them thier money)I ended up paying over a hundred dollars in fees for NSF of $15. I am starting to cash everything now and use money orders instead of checks. When you live check to check they make it nearly impossible to keep up with how each transaction posts or when they will post or memorize thier every fee and time things go into affect or how long they are going to hold your funds. My point is, they have people out there figuring out ways to make extra profits from service fees. They intentionally try to confuse people, knowing that somewhere along the line they are going to pick up some more cash from you. I am not intentionaly trying to bounce anything. I am just trying to pay my bills and I am not perfect. I understand having fees for this type of thing, but it is not right for them to take advatage of people intentionally just because they can. Coffee can buried in the back yard is the way to go. ![]()

Just don't go over your miles. My husband lost money on his truck when it was leased. We ended up paying twice what it was worth by the end of it all. They charge you big time for each mile you go over. ![]()

you have to read everything you sign carefully, knowning that their main objective is to find ways to fuck you over, mostly, without being noticed.

a while ago i noticed my bank was charging me a small amount every month that i hadn't noticed. i called them and they were charging me for special cheques i never ordered.
another ocasion they turned my debit card into a credit card and started charging me a fee as well. and other times they will design your bank statement so you think the amount they are willing to "loan" you as overdraft is actually part of your income.

if you can use a credit union by means use a credit union. Here's a true story to tell you the difference. I was in a bad way with the dope and I found a ATM that would give me money on Wednesday nite when it posted even though Thursday was payday trouble was it didn't register and again on Thursday I'd get the same money out of the credit union when I went to work. All told I owed them 3600.00 bucks. Not only did they not have me arrested or demand payment that day. They allowed me to refinance my
car and allow me to basically pay them back monthly. I never did finish paying them off they did eventual reposses the car which was a wreck mechanically by then. Never prosecuted me just wrote off as a bad debt. Name one bank that would do that.

They are total thieves. They are far more oppressive than any totalitarian regime.
They make a mockery of values. The word is to everyone, don't buy anything and you will be free... RN

Yeah, debt sucks. I'm only 21 and have a $500 car payment plus 2 credit cards nearly maxed out. That's a lot for a college student delivering pizzas. Seems like every time I get some extra cash something always comes up. The day I pay off my car will be the happiest of my life.

And yeah, getting fucked by the banks/credit companies sucks. But I'm always on top of that stuff generally. A lot of times I have fucked up, I managed to get the fees reversed since I rarely fuck up. But maybe once or twice I had to pay. It was like $40 each time. I was so bummed; that's a lot of money for me.
So many people I know mess up with that stuff all the time though, accumulating fees and paying hundreds of dollars for overdrafting or late payments. I mean, that's just stupid and careless. I would lose it if I ever had to throw that much money away. It just amazes me how many people do this. |

Thatcher and Ronnie. What a great couple they made. I'm sure a book will come out in the near future spilling the beans on their passionate affair.

Girl you gotta do what you gotta do to survive these days. The only reason I have a job in this economy is because of unnessesary Government spending (which i think Obama is trying to put a hold on). I don't really agree with this but I have a family to feed, and it took 2 years to find this job. I work for a furniture dealership who sells them all of thier furnitur for the Naval bases. I am already starting to see a decrease in furniture requests and it is kind of scary because that is the only client that had kept us really going last year. ![]()
