I have direct billing from a storage warehouse. This month, they ran my charge through 15 times!at $140 a pop! It took 2 weeks to straighten it out, and through the stalling of my bank, $400 in overdraft was added to my account. Fortunatly the storage company gave me the money to cover it all, but the bank is laughing all the way to the…you know!

I love it..seems like the Obama Administration is attacking the jerks on Wall Street on every level…maybe we will see “change”…of course the Corporations and the GOP will sh*t a brick…(look out for incoming wall to wall..”Government take-over” accusations and attacks)..the government is taking over, all right..taking over the crooked practices and control that Corporate Bankers has had on “our” Government and giving government control back to “the people” as it is written in the Constitution……
